By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview. com Christy Clark made a brief stop in Keremeos on May 1 as the provincial Liberal campaign swept through the Lower Similkameen and South Okanagan. Clark’s entourage stopped at Sanderson Farms Fruit Stand, where the premier was greeted by Boundary Similkameen Liberal candidate Linda Larson. She purchased apples, provided photo opportunities to media and met with members of the Lidhar family and a number of party faithful in a brief half hour stop. Clark also spoke to the Review about some Similkameen concerns. See page 3 for full details.

Kaleden museum holding grand opening on May 11 Concept began during community centennial celebrations in 2009
By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The Kaleden Museum is holding
a grand opening on Saturday, May 11 from 2 to 4 p.m. The museum has been three years in the making, its’ beginnings dating back to the Kaleden Centennial in 2009. At that time, an outdoor display of local photos and artifacts generated a lot of interest amongst Kaleden
residents. Additionally, $10,000 was raised during the centennial celebrations to put towards the establishment of the museum. The Kaleden Museum Society, a registered charity, was formed with Susan Kelly serving as Chairperson. Since 2009, the group has put
together some interesting displays of old photographs, artifacts and fruit labels dating back to the days when the fruit growing and packing industry dominated life in Kaleden. The museum is housed in the meeting room of the Kaleden Community Hall. Plans
are for museum operations on a casual basis for the time being. A sandwich board will be placed in front of the community hall to indicate when the museum will be open to the public. Kaleden and area residents are invited to come and have a look at the past this Saturday.

2013 BC Provincial Election
Interview with the premier Liberal leader, B.C. Premier Christy Clark campaigned through the Similkameen on Wednesday, May 1, stopping briefly at Sanderson Farms Fruit Stand in Keremeos. While there, Clark took a few minutes from her busy campaign schedule to speak to the Review about some Similkameen issues. Review: Has there been any change in the Liberals stance on the proposed national park reserve in the South Okanagan - Similkameen since the release of a First Nations feasibility study in January? Clark: No. No, you know, I think there is a way we can protect the environment and protect the values that the First Nations are interested in, and the people who live here - obviously, it’s such a beautiful, pristine part of the province - we want to protect all of those values. But I think we can do that at the same time, without making it a park - and protecting the economic values as well - there’s no reason why those things can’t work together. So, I appreciate that they’ve done the work, and we should continue to have a conversation about how we can protect the environmental values, but I’m confident we can (do that) without making it a park. Review: Small communities like Keremeos take a beating during economic downturns like now. What does your government plan to do arrest that? I understand your bus passed through downtown Keremeos - you could see the vacant storefronts - and we’re losing government agencies, such as when Work Zone shut down here last year. What would your government do to help us out? Clark: There are a couple of things we could do. One of them is infrastructure spending. Obviously, we need to build - this is an important corridor to get all over the country, to get into the U.S., so we need to keep investing in infrastructure. The correctional centre in Oliver might be a little out of the way, but that infrastructure spending matters, it puts people to work, and it moves jobs into communities as well. I would note on that, the
NDP would put a freeze on all capital projects, so I assume the correctional centre would be one of the things they would chop. So that’s one thing we can do, but the bigger thing we can do is invest in growing the economy.

Provincial election comes to the Similkameen Similkameen Country hosts its fifth provincial election all candidate’s forum By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The provincial election campaign finally made its way to the Lower Similkameen this week with a visit from Premier Christy Clark on Wednesday, May 1, followed by an all candidate’s meeting at Victory Hall on Thursday, May 2. Four of five candidates on the ballot for the May 14 election participated in the meeting. Missing was Doug Pederson, one of two independent candidates running in the Boundary - Similkameen riding. Candidates were each given three minutes for opening remarks, who then introduced themselves to approximately 60 people in the audience. John Kwasnica, Green PartyThe Oliver resident works as a residential care worker for a nonprofit organization. He has provided volunteer service to his community through the fire department and in the development of Oliver’s hike and bike path. As Green Party candidate, Kwasnica spoke of the issue of climate change, describing his intent to “gather solutions from you to put together a better plan for a sustainable economy.” Kwasnica advocated clean energy jobs, local control and administration of social and health services and lower taxes. “Global warming is a bigger threat than our current economic imbalance,” he warned. Sam Hancheroff, NDP A resident of Kaleden, Hancheroff has been a lifelong resident of the riding, his former career as a District 53 school teacher having given way in retirement to work as a school trustee and a director with Kaleden’s irrigation district. Citing the need for a change in government, Hancheroff said his government’s policy would emphasize better education and skills training, as well as farm and orchard assistance, which

would include replant support and marketing programs. Linda Larson, Liberal Larson said that her government would support policies that encourage business and investment. She spoke of the need to balance budgets, with emphasis on health and skills training. Larson further described the need for “better budget management.” Her government would not support the national park proposal in its present form, giving creedence instead to the Land Use Management Plan, created and managed at the local level. Her government would prioritize rebuilding a business economy and development of the province’s natural resources. Mischa Popoff, Independent: Describing himself as a “small c conservative” along the lines of Tommy Douglas, Popoff accented the need to pay down provincial debt, bring the budget under control and develop our natural resources. “Why vote for me, an independent?” he rhetorically asked the audience. “What can I do for you? I can do whatever you want,” he replied, describing his candidacy as an independent voice not subject to scrutiny or censorship by party lines. “Who likes paying carbon taxes, Fortis hikes and the like?” he asked, “Why elect representatives to go to Victoria to be whipped into line by their parties?” Popoff urged voters to consider sending an independent voice to Victoria. Moderator Carroll MacLean then asked the candidates about their personal knowledge of the area. Linda Larson noted the recent failed referendum on the water reservoir. “I thought it was a good idea,”
she said of the proposal. Larson also noted the park issue, organic agriculture, wineries and Keremeos’ many empty downtown storefronts. “It’s the same everywhere, “ she said, noting that Oliver also has many empty storefronts. Mischa Popoff commented on the area’s “niche market” in organic agricuture, adding that the bread and butter of agriculture in the area was non-organic agriculture. He noted that the national park controversy was a big issue due to the loss of sovereignty of a large piece of the region to the federal government. Popoff insisted that the area remain focussed on agriculture, seeing tourism as a fickle economic resource because of its cyclical nature. John Kwasnica told the gathering that he liked Keremeos, having recently participated in a work party at the Grist Mill. He expressed familiarity with the area’s expertise in organic agriculture, and like Liberal candidate Larson, agreed that Keremeos’ empty storefronts were a “universal phenomenon”. Kwasnica commented on the rustic aspects of the Keremeos’ downtown theme. He also noted the national park as a contentious issue, but informed the audience that statistics show eight dollars of economic activity generated for every dollar spent at Canada’s other national parks. Sam Hancheroff said that he was connected to the Similkameen over the years first as a teacher, then as school trustee in District 53. “Agriculture is at the heart of our families,” he expressed, adding that empty storefronts were an issue. He also commented on local awareness of water issues, noting that human resources are shared between Keremeos and Kaleden’s irrigation districts.

Provincial candidates discuss local issues Last week, the Review asked local candidates a series of questions. By presstime, we had only received answers from NDP candidate Sam Hancheroff and independent candidate Mischa Popoff. Following are the responses of the two candidates. 1. What is your party’s position on the national park reserve proposal for the South Okanagan - Similkameen ? Hancheroff: We need to restart the negotiations to bring all the affected stakeholders together to move this process forward. This is an important project, but one where we need to proceed in a way that addresses the concerns of all of those who make use of the area. My own history in local politics has given me experience with the importance of consensus-building, and listening very carefully to all of our stakeholders before making decisions. I went with a resident from Osoyoos who took me to a part of what would be the National Park above Osoyoos. I was amazed by the natural beauty, the lakes, the grasslands, and some of the birds present at that time. In my opinion this unique ecosystem is a jewel that absolutely should be protected. 2. Small communities like Keremeos have a difficult time attracting and maintaining small business and government agencies. What would your government do to help improve commerce in small, isolated communities? Hancheroff: New Democrats have developed a number measures to support our resource economy through investments in healthy forests, increasing support for agriculture which will promote agri-tourism, as well as promoting sustainable mining and exploration. All these measures will increase commerce in small towns. We plan to establish a “local business first’’ government procurement policy, starting with hospitals and care homes buying locally grown food. 3. What are your party’s commitments to the agriculture industry? What programs would you make available to farmers? Hancheroff: When it comes to supporting agriculture, local farmers and orchardists will benefit from the three programs proposed by the BC NDP – Grow BC, Buy BC, and Feed BC. Having managed a vineyard for the last twenty years, I have a personal knowledge of many of the issues facing those involved in agriculture and viticulture in this region. These programs will ensure that not only will we sustain the Okanagan Valley’s position as one of the premiere agricultural regions in B.C., we will also market this produce across the country and around the world, and ensure that patients in local hospitals and residents in local care homes are benefiting from the healthy food produced right here, all while supporting the local economy. 4. How will your party encourage the purchase of B.C. agricultural products? Hancheroff: Two of our new agricultural
programs are dedicated to doing just that. By restoring the Remember to Buy BC program that was cut cast your vote by the Liberals, we will help market the wonderful proon May 14, 2013! duce from our local orchards in other provinces, and Spring Open House beyond our borders. In addition, our Feed BC program will increase the amount of Join us Saturday, May 11 locally-produced fruits and 12:00 - 2:00 pm vegetables used by our hospitals and care homes.

The Review
Publisher: Bruce McAuliffe 605 7th Avenue, Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0
Editorial Candidates conspicuous by their absence With only a week to go before the provincial election, Similkameen voters must be starting to feel neglected. The Similkameen does not seem to be high on politicians’ priority lists so far in this campaign. BC Liberal leader Christy Clark has been the only party leader to stop in Keremeos, while both Adrian Dix and John Cummins so far have chosen not to make a stop here while stumping through the nearby Okanagan valley last week. We are only aware of two candidates who have made two or more public visits to the Lower Similkameen so far in this campaign - Liberal candidate Linda Larson and NDP candidate Sam Hancheroff. The other candidates - independent Mischa Popoff, and Green Party candidate John Kwasnica stumped through the village on May 2. A second independent candidate - Doug Pederson - didn’t even show up for the debate. As far as we are aware, that has been roughly the extent of candidate exposure in the Lower Similkameen. The Review had similar results with a questionaire emailed to the candidates. Only two responded to the query prior to deadline. Finally, during the all candidate’s meeting, Moderator Carroll MacLean asked each candidate what they knew of Keremeos and area. The responses from all four candidates were, at best, vague and generalized. Perhaps in the final days of the campaign we’ll see a little more of the candidates. It would be nice to have some evidence from the candidates that the voices of the Similkameen matter, because who knows - with five candidates on the ballot, and widespread dissatisfaction amongst the electorate, the handful of votes up for grabs in the Similkameen just might be enough to make a difference to one of the candidates this time around.

THE
Former B.C. businessman shares thoughts about upcoming election By Gwyn Morgan I’m concerned that many British Columbians are more focused on “change” for the sake of change rather than electing the party most likely to foster job creation and financial stability. Our province’s resource endowment has always been a mainstay of both jobs and the generation of revenues needed to fund social programs. From what I have seen and heard, an NDP government would rev-up spending while stymieing resource development through endless environmental reviews and or by just saying “no”, driving investment to other provinces and other countries. We need new mines and gas fields, pipelines, refineries, ports and processing plants to replace jobs lost by tech change and by events like the pine
beetle catastrophe. Economic development and the protection of the environment are not mutually exclusive. Yes, we must be good stewards of our beautiful province, but we do have the technology to move the economy forward in an environmentally responsible manner. Saying no to new projects will mean job losses for currently employed and no opportunity for young people looking to join the work force. We also need to focus on balancing the provincial budget, rather than taking money away from social programs to fund rising interest costs. Forty years of experience in business has taught me that too much debt is crippling. It scares me that the NDP have rolled out billions of dollars in new spending during this campaign, and their “every dollar is accounted for” rhetoric just isn’t credible because
their anti-development attitude will reduce revenue at the same time as spending rises. There is truth to the adage, “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”. The NDP came to power in 1991 and governed the rest of that decade. Investment dried up and economic growth trailed the rest of Canada. A low point came when the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce thanked the B.C. government for driving growth investment in Alberta. Glenn Clark’s 1996-1999 tenure was arguably the most disastrous for B.C. and with Adrian Dix, Premier Clark’s former Chief of staff leading the province, I’d be very worried about history repeating itself. It took many years for the Liberals to repair the damage. During their time in government, North America suffered through a major recession and yet we now have a triple-

A credit rating, higher than the U.S. government, allowing B.C. taxpayers the lowest possible interest rates. Have the Liberals done everything right? Certainly not. The introduction of the HST by the Campbell government was badly handled. There have been other gaffes and ill thought out policies. And while there is a natural inclination for people to vote to change long governing parties, it’s important not to let the NDP sleepwalk to victory without thinking about which party is likely to create jobs and not burden today’s young people with a mountain of debt. I’m not asking that you agree with me, only that you think through the full consequences of your choice carefully. And then get out and vote on May 14.

Seeing what’s deep inside To the Editor: Dear valley neighbors: I know. It snowed on us again just last week. Full-blown spring comes late here in our valley. But there are signs. Before their fullness the trees have a light in their eyes – the packed, swelling buds, the tiniest leaves, like baby exclamation points. Rough, bare vines appearing to be dead during winter also now begin their first barely noticeable spots of green. And the blossoms! The crazy, audacious blossoms, heralding new life and growth even before we can hardly believe it, not worried that the still cold winds will blow them off their limbs. They know. There’s life deep inside. The birds seem to take note before we do. They can’t stop talking about it: Deep down life force, just wanting to declare and bare its fruits. “So don’t despair”, they sing. “Have patience. It happens. It’s happening. You can see it if you look carefully. Open your eyes. Have faith”, they sing. Just so, I believe, with us. Crusty, cold humanity, sometimes deadly. Yet deep down inside pulsating with potentially
explosive amazing life force. Always there, always ready, ready and waiting, rooted below even the least likely-looking stump. To break open, to blossom, to reach skyward, to attain individuality and courage and creativity, and yes – even unconditional happiness, we don’t have to do some outlandish thing. Just let the beauty of life spirit deep within come out. That’s what meditation is about: Seeing the invisible, hearing the silence, knowing the truth that dwells inside each of us and surrounds us too. Waiting for us, like trees, to bear its fruit. Benevolent, beloved life force and source and sustainer. Meditating helps us look within and find It – always here, always now. How wonderful! Free, no-strings, no dogma, direct experience meditation classes begin in Keremeos Sunday morning May 19, and continue for six Tuesday evenings beginning May 21. If you’d like, contact me for more information - cdr@nethop.net - or call Marlene at 499-4822 and leave a message. I’ll call you back. Let’s do it together. Warm Regards, Ron Shonk M.Div,M.

Senior remembers an interesting past To the Editor: Sometimes things happen just out of the blue that can be very comical. I was just thinking of one such thing that happened on the street just back of the Bank of Montreal on Westminster Avenue in the old Grand Forks garage. W.X. Perkins owned and Mike Larama was his foreman. Perkins and Mike were both Catholic. Mike was welding something and the torch he was using was the best of the day but if you didn’t operate it properly it would explode. Well - the inevitable happened and Mike
was blown down on the floor under a car. The Catholic priest was just passing by and rushed in to see what had exploded. Well, Mike Larama was just coming out from under the car with fire all around when he saw the priest. His exclamation? “My God! I thought I was in Hell with all that fire around but if you’re here I guess I must be OK.” This is a true story. I was there after this happened and was told by some of the men. The time frame was about 1947. Wilf Miller, Keremeos

Similkameen Valley’s pilot project reaches milestone Contributed
segmentation tool based on the science of psychographics – an evolution of the traditional field of demographics. Instead of defining people based on age, income, gender, family status or education level, psychographics look at a person’s personal beliefs, social values and their view of the world. TOTA’s CEO Glenn Mandziuk says this project will take the Similkameen Valley message to a level not seen before. “This launch does a fantastic job of integrating the principles of TOTA’s regional strategy, the Explorer Quotient experience developed by the CTC and the great opportunities for visitors to the Similkameen Valley.” Destination BC helped to fund some of the key projects identified in the SVPS tourism plan, through both its Community Tourism Foundations and Community Tourism Opportunities programs.
April 24, 2013, marked a major milestone for tourism in the Similkameen Valley. Over 40 stakeholders gathered in Princeton to celebrate the launch of the new destination brand and consumer website http:// similkameenvalley.com. The branding project is a pilot project done in partnership between the Similkameen Valley Planning Society (SVPS) and the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA) demonstrating best practice in marketing communications. The Similkameen Valley is the first in the region to utilize the framework of the Thompson Okanagan Regional Strategy, a first of its kind in B.C. TOTA’s community development specialist Simone Carlysle-Smith led a collaborative effort working with SVPS’ Tourism Advisory Council (TAC) led by chair Joan McMurray. The Similkameen Valley includes the communities and hamlets of Cathedral Lakes, Cawston, Chopaka, Coalmont, Eastgate, Hedley, Keremeos, Manning Park, Olalla, Princeton, Tulameen and Twin Lakes. Elements of the marketing plan include: a striking destination brand with a logo, tag line, positioning statement, retractable banners, window clings, postcards, golf shirts and presentation folders bolstered by professional imagery and an online storage system. There are great stories about things to experience in the region, an inventory of unique features, online resources and communications for local industry and a key feature in today’s tourist environment: responsive design website. Happy 20th Birthday Responsive design uses one URL to serve the needs of multiple devices ensuring users can view information appropriately Miranda on any device whether it is a smart phone, tablet, laptop or desktop. on May 9th Behind the website and the technology the principles for the development of the have a brand, imagery and copy are based on the fantasmic Thompson Okanagan Regional Strategy day and the Canadian Tourism Commission’s Explorer Quotient (EQ) program. The regional strategy is based on a better understanding of traveller values Love Your family and and building local capacity to serve those friends values while aligning marketing to connect with the visitor across the entire region.

Provincial candidates discuss local issues / continued from page 5
Mischa Popoff, independent 1. What is your party’s position on the national park reserve proposal for the South Okanagan - Similkameen ? Popoff: I’m dead-set opposed. How many times do we have to say “No”? You can’t farm in a national park. Banff and Jasper were established before any farmers settled those areas. Turning any of the ranches and farms of the South Okanagan-Similkameen into a national park is tantamount to turning downtown Kelowna back to what it was before it was settled and developed. Anyone who supports the national-park proposal should go and work a month on a ranch. ‘Til then they have no right to even hold an opinion. 2. Small communities like Keremeos have a difficult time attracting and maintaining small business and government agencies. What would your government do to help improve commerce in small, isolated communities? Popoff: When the economy of British Columbia improves, small communities like Keremeos, Cawston, Ollala and Hedley will all boom just like small towns all across the Prairie region are booming today. Pay down the debt, attract more businesses by eliminating useless regulations, and we will all prosper. 3. What are your party’s commitments to the agriculture industry? What programs would you make available to farmers? Popoff: The question isn’t what programs I would make available to farmers, rather, what programs I would eliminate. Start with this province’s useless and highly damaging Meat Industry Regulation (MIR) which has destroyed the local meat-processing industry in B.C., and along with it a great deal of ranching. Premier Gordon Campbell imposed MIR on this province in the name of public safety, but there was and remains no evidence that local meat-processors posed any threat whatsoever to the public. Quite to the contrary in fact: all deaths attributable to consuming unsafe meat have come from
large-scale plants in Alberta. The next program to eliminate is the planned On-Farm Food Safety program. Again, there is no evidence that farmers in this province pose any threat whatsoever to the public. Leave farmers alone. They feed us. 4. How will your party encourage the purchase of B.C. agricultural products? Popoff: That’s a secret that I will reveal to the executive of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association at their next meeting. Please stay tuned. All I can say is that it will Independent candidate Mischa Popoff require very little government involvement. 5. What is your party’s posi7. How should the province fund tion on the carbon tax? its heritage sites? Popoff: Eliminate it!

It’s rather difficult, we do. So clearly “sin” taxes don’t if not absurd, to discuss funding work as a deterrent. What’s more, heritage sites when people are out we already pay about 50 percent of work, farmers can’t get their in tax whenever we fill up our gas kids to stay on the farm, and logs tank, so how is another four or five are leaving the province without percent going to make any difeven being milled.

Look to the long-term You’re going to be in your home for many years and your financial obligations will change over time. Assess your current annual household income and then consider the financial impact of changes like having children or one day moving from a dualincome to single-income situation. Look at all the costs When you’re caught up in the home buying process, it’s easy to overlook costs like closing costs, homeowner’s insurance, home maintenance costs and even the new furniture you’ll need to buy. At the time of purchase, the assessed value of the home is typically increased to match the purchase price. If the previous assessed value was low, the new assessment can materially increase the amount of property tax you’ll have to pay versus what was paid by the previous owner. Look at your purchase realistically Once you’ve got an accurate fix on the real cost of your dream home, consider the financial trade-offs you’re willing to make.

Fortunately, over the roughly four-year working life of this orbiting observatory, it produced a flood of new scientific information and discoveries. Most of the material in the observable universe is dark and cold: gas and dust at temperatures around -260 C. This makes it hard to observe, which is unfortunate
because this fascinating stuff is the raw material for making galaxies, stars and planets. The process starts when some local event, such as the explosive death of an old star destabilizes a cloud of gas and dust, so that it starts to collapse. Unfortunately, this is totally invisible to our eyes or conventional telescopes, especially those located on the Earth’s surface. On the other hand, these cold clouds are warm enough to emit electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the millimetre region, which puts it in the twilight zone of the spectrum, between long-wavelength infrared radiation and short wavelength radio waves.
column On May14, 2009 the Herschel space observatory was launched. Named after the British astronomer, it was designed to image the sky in the millimetre wavelength range, and intended to study the formation of stars and galaxies, and the chemical processes taking place in those dark clouds. The sensitivity of the devices to make measurements and images in astronomy is related to their temperature: the colder the device, the greater the sensitivity. Herschel’s instruments needed the best attainable sensitivity, which meant making them as cold as possible. There is a limit as to how cold things can be. Temperature is a measure of the vibration and motion of atoms. At a temperature of –273 Celsius all that motion has stopped. Since one cannot go
slower than stationary, there is no lower temperature, so we call that limit “absolute zero”. Herschel’s detectors were cooled as close as possible to absolute zero. To do this the spacecraft carried 2,300 litres of liquid helium. On April 29 the final drops were used up. Herschel’s useful life was over. During its operational lifetime, Herschel showed the gas and dust clouds in our galaxy, the Milky Way, to be extremely complex. For example, they can occur as complicated networks of thin fibres. The satellite also provided insights as to how these structures can be made to collapse, forming new clouds. It also provided images of embryo stars, still deeply embedded in their birth clouds. Herschel also showed us stars forming in distant galaxies. Because light from those gal-
axies takes millions or billions of years to get here, when we observe them we are looking back in time, at a younger universe. Herschel saw stars forming at a prodigious rate: bright, giant blue stars living short lives and then exploding, seeding the universe with the elements needed to make planets, and us. Herschel’s final mission will be to fire its thrusters to push itself into orbit around the Sun, so that it won’t be a navigation hazard for other space missions. Jupiter is still unmissable, but is getting low in the western sky in the evening. Saturn rises before sunset and is well up in the east by dark. The Moon will be new on the 9th.

Sunday, May 12, 2013 - A day for all the Super Moms! Time management tips for working moms The responsibility of raising a family while maintaining a career is never easy. Working moms often wish there were more time in the day to spend with their families or get more done at the office. While there’s no way women can add a 25th hour to their days, there are ways to manage your time more effectively so you can get around to doing those things you never seem to have the time to do. * Get a head start. Perhaps no time of day is more hectic for a working mother than the morning, when she must get ready for work while getting the kids ready for school and ensuring they have a good breakfast. Some moms even drop their youngsters off at school. That’s a lot of tasks to tackle before you even sit down in your office to answer the first e-mail or listen to the morning’s first voicemail. To make mornings less frantic, get a head start the night before by laying out the next day’s clothes for you and encouraging your kids to do the same. Preparing lunches, packing a gym bag and even setting the coffee maker can all be done the night before to save you time and make mornings more relaxing. * Take public transportation to work. Public transportation may not be available to all working mothers, but those with access to a train, subway or bus might want to take advantage of that opportunity. If you do, you can spend your daily commute catching up with work instead of sitting in traffic behind the wheel of your car. Even if public transportation takes a little more time to get you to work than driving yourself, that extra time can be spent preparing for the day ahead. * Catch up on work over the weekend. The weekends are a time when many working mothers look to unwind, but spending an hour or two catching up on work on a Saturday or Sunday morning is a great way to make the week a little less hectic. As the week progresses toward the weekend, set aside certain tasks that aren’t urgent but can be easily addressed in an hour or so over the weekend. This frees up time during the week to tackle larger projects and might even allow you to leave your office earlier on weekdays. * Prepare or even cook meals in advance. The days of yore when mom cooked all the meals are largely a thing of the past, as nowadays both parents tend to share cooking duties. Moms can cut down on the time it takes to serve up family meals on weeknights by cooking meals in advance. Think of dishes you can prepare on the weekends and then freeze until you’re ready to serve. Or purchase a slow cooker that slowly cooks your meal all day while you’re out and about. By the time you and your family arrive home at night, dinner will be ready and you will have more time to relax after a long day. * Share the work. Sharing your workload pertains to both home and the office. At home, don’t feel like you have to be a superhero capable of handling all of the household tasks like cooking, cleaning and walking the dog on your own. Share these responsibilities with your spouse and even your children when they’re old enough. At the office, don’t be afraid to delegate tasks to your coworkers or ask for favors from coworkSpecializing in all ers who might be able to help. your hair needs!
