Thirteen was anything but an unlucky number for the Similkameen Sizzlefest, which took place for the thirteenth time on Saturday, September 20. Exceptionally blue skies and late summer temperatures soaring into the high twenties brought hundreds of people to Memorial Park to sample chili, entertain the kids or soak up the Similkameen sunshine. A line up of free entertainment that included the Corner Turtles, Mat Duffus, the Blackbirds, and XLR8ER provided a musical backdrop for a wide and varied number of concessions and vendors. “It was great,” said Infocentre manager Colleen Christensen, “the weather was perfect, we had a great turnout of vendors and chili cookoff participants.” This year’s chili cookoff saw five participants vying for best chili. Riverside RV Park Resort, Shore Farms Fresh Organic Vegetables, Valu Plus Hot Mamas the Grist Mill and Shayna and Shulman took part in the cook off, with first timers Valu Plus Hot Mamas prevailing with first place honours. Shayna and Shulman came third, while Shore Farms took second spot. Children enjoyed the music of Mat Duffus in addition to the climbing wall and bouncy fire truck set up in the park.Similkameen Elementary Secondary School grad class members provided some volunteer support, as did Keremeos royal Ambassadors, who also worked the Sizzlefest vendor tent, selling T-shirts and other souvenir items. The Keremeos Search and Rescue team were also on hand promoting their volunteer efforts through the sale of T-shirts. Saturday was an event filled day in the Lower Similkameen. As the Sizzlefest wound down in late afternoon, Crowsnest Winery began their Oktoberfest evening, with a special dinner at the Cawston winery. The Grist Mill played host to a Saturday evening “Kitchen Party” in the summer kitchen, providing an evening of Celtic entertainment with Jocelyn Pettit and the Pettit Band.

In turn, she enjoyed the venue so much she stayed for an encore during the Hertiage Fall Fair on Sunday. Shown in photo is Jocelyn with young fan Avry Hartskamp of Summerland.
There’s more to come at the Grist Mill this season The Grist Mill Heritage Club will welcome any variety of heritage apple for presentation at Apple Day on Thanksgiving Monday, October 13. Over the years apples of varied size, shape, color and taste in as many as forty varieties have been featured. Some are for sale as a fundraiser for the Grist Mill Foundation. The Grist Mill and Gardens on Keremeos Creek celebrates with free admission day each year on Thanksgiving Monday. Apple pick up with grower notes about the apple will start at the beginning of October. Please call 250-499-5417 if you can offer any of those special heirloom and heritage apples for pick up and display on Apple Day.

School year finally underway in the Lower Similkameen No extension to school year planned as Similkameen students return to classes for the 2014-15 season By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com School began for students in the Lower Similkameen on Monday, September 22 with a half day of classes at both Cawston Primary and Similkameen Elementary Secondary School. Regular full day classes began on Tuesday as the school year returns to normal after losing the first three weeks of regular school to the provincial teachers strike, which was settled last week. Teachers, students and parents all expressed relief the strike was over Monday, as they arrived with their children at Cawston Primary. Kindergarten classes will be doing the usual gradual entry as they are introduced to school, their teachers
and their classmates. The Kindergarten class begins full attendance every day starting Friday, September 26. Cawston Primary school welcomed teachers Mrs. Petry (Kindergarten & Grade 1) and Ms Kruger (Kindergarten) back to the school. Mrs. Walters was also welcomed to Cawston. She will be teaching Grade two and three. “We are happy to be back and are glad to see all our ‘Sunflowers’ again,”said Prinicipal Linda Thiel. At Similkameen Elementary Secondary School, similar sentiments were being felt as the school began a new year. At SESS, a number of staffing changes have taken place, with Cameron Adam welcomed to the school to teach science and math. Other newcomers include Lukas Toth (Tech ed) Mathew Falk (band) and Mike Reid, who will be Aboriginal Support instructor. The province has decreed there will be no extension to the school year for the three weeks lost to strike. Both Cawston and SESS have adjusted their school years accordingly.
SESS grad class already in full fund raising mode By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Gagan Lasser, who said a number of the class were actively pursuing the goal. A number of grads also volunteered community service, offering their assistance at Sizzlefest on Saturday, September 20.
This year’s Similkameen Elementary Secondary School grad class are chasing a goal, and the fact that school start has been delayed isn’t slowing them down a bit. They started their fund raising efforts on Labour Day with a car wash at Fas Gas in Keremeos, raising $660. The group followed that with a movie night on Friday, September 19 at Victory Hall. Next week the grads will host a dance at Victory Hall for students in grades 8- 12. The event takes place from 6:30 until 9:30 p.m. and will feature a disc jockey - DJ Photo by Steve Arstad Rick - from Kelowna. This year’s class contains 30 students, who also have plans for another dance at This year’s SESS grads are already busy fundraising for their year end event. Halloween in addition to a bottle drive.

Some notes on election coverage In an effort to provide candidates running in this fall’s municipal election with equal exposure in the Review, we ask that candidates follow these guidelines: - limit self written submissions to 500 words or less. Alternatively, candidates can call the editor at the Review (250-499-2653) and arrange for an interview where a series of standardized questions will be asked relating to the candidates’ experience and history, their reasons for candidacy, and the issues they perceive will make the election campaign. We will run a photo of each individual candidate, who may supply their own photo or arrange to have us take one. At the Review, we are anticipating at this time a large number of candidates at the village level. Anyone wishing to submit their information, or wishing to schedule an interview, should do so as soon as possible, in order for us to ensure everyone gets as equal and fair amount of editorial exposure as possible.

Fire inspector notes improvement in village commercial fire safety By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Stewart Affleck has been commercial fire inspector for Keremeos businesses for the past seven years. Affleck is hired by the Village of Keremeos because under the Muncipal Act, the village is required to conduct a regular system of inspection on its commercial premises, including commercial sections
of apartment buildings. Affleck inventories and inspects fire protection and fire suppresion equipment, in addition to ensuring emergency lighting is operating and ventilation systems are clean. His inspections also look at general fire hazards in a building, as well as misused extension cords and emergency exiting. “Keremeos stand up pretty good,” he
said with respect to the state of fire preparedness of the village’s businessess. “It gets a little better every year,” Affleck said, adding his strategy is to try to lead businesses forward in steadily improving their safety systems annually. “It’s quite good in Keremeos now,” he said, referring to the village as a “lovely little place .” Affleck conducts inspections in Port
Hardy, Cowichan Bay, Stewart, Lions Bay, Balcarra and Queen Charlotte City, in addition to also inspecting First Nations fire departments fire fighting capabilities. Affleck said one of the biggest problems with older commercial buildings comes from inadequate modernization of the facility. “Old buildings that aren’t updated to modern stan-

ty volunteer fire departments just don’t have the expertise to do fire inspections,” he said.
Prospective municipal election candidates attend regular meeting of council Cost overuns continue to plague park washrooms By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Council chambers had several more spectators than usual in the gallery on September 15 as a number of prospective council candidates attended the regular meeting of council. Mayor Bauer led council members in making an official announcement regarding their candidacy, the mayor stating he would be running for the mayor’s office again. Other councillors interested in seeking another term in office included Arlene Arlow and Jeremy Evans. Councillor Gary Thielmann will not seek a second term. Councillor Charlene Cowling has not yet announced her intentions. Funding requests Council approved several pieces of correspondence, including a request by this
year’s SESS graduating class to use Victory Hall for fundraising events, and a further request from Scouts Canada to assist in costs for use of Victory Hall during an open house on September 23. Council agreed to approve a donation of up to $230 to the grads to offset hall costs, also agreeing to fund Scouts Canada up to $115, with funds to come from the presentations, awards and donations account. Capital projects, budget variance report Village Chief Financial Officer Rob Hager reported a further budget overage on the park washrooms construction bill, because electrical and plumbing trades were not fully included in the original quote, in addition to some unforseen costs. The additional charges amounted to approximately $9,000, and will be covered through transfer of funds from the small community infrastructure grant. Hager further reported the budget to be on track for
the year, with “no glaring overages or underages” noted to date. On a positive note, it was reported building revenue is well above budget so far this year. Work on street and sidewalk rebuilding on Sixth Avenue between Seventh and Sixth Streets, originally scheduled for this fall, will be postponed until next year at least. Since the original quote was made, drainage issues on the street have been discovered. Correction of the issue will result in significant expenditures, outside of this year’s budget capacity. A section of Tenth Avenue, between Boundary Road and First Street, will be repaved by the village in conjunction with work being done to the main water line by the Keremeos Irrigation District. The work will be cost shared between the village and the district. Variance request Council received a variance request to allow a reduction in the front yard parcel setback of a fruit stand
building from 7.5 metres to 7.2 metres for the building, and from 7.5 metres to 5 metres for the building overhang. The variance would not affect parking in front of the fruit stand, which is located on Seventh Avenue between Second and Third Streets (Uppal’s Fruit Stand), and was approved by council. The variance was requested in order for the owners to undertake an expansion of the fruit stand. Zoning amendment Council also adopted a zoning amendment for the Cozy Cabins property on Fifth Street. The owner proposes to subdivide the property into three lots, and the zoning amendment will allow commercial
zoning and single family residential on the property. Question period Several village residents who have indicated their intention to run during the upcoming November municipal elections were present in the gallery on September 15. Cost overuns with respect to the park washrooms haunted council as several questions were asked pertaining to the low and incomplete quotes and the thoroughness of the bid evaluation process. Several other questions were asked of council, including topics such as: -transient campers. - Seventh Avenue tree irrigation. - maintenance of back alleys.

The Review
Publisher: Don Kendall 605 7th Avenue, Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0
Editorial Late season events thrive It was a great weekend in the Similkameen. The sunny, hot weather probably helped boost attendance numbers throughout the day for both the Sizzlefest and Grist Mill Heritage Fall Fair events. Even so, one can’t ignore the efforts of all those involved in bringing these events to fruition. The handful of dedicated volunteers who create Sizzlefest every year do a superb job. The festival continues to mature, as more vendors bring more variety to the event, and more things to do. The music continues to impress as do the numbers who partake in the festival throughout the day, many of whom come from far beyond the Similkameen. This year’s Sizzlefest weekend was especially successful due to the new event introduced by Grist Mill Manager Chris Mathieson, masterminded the first Grist Mill Heritage Fall Fair. Mathieson once again showed an exemplary spirit of community cooperation and work ethic in assembling the event to coincide and compliment - not compete with - Sizzlefest Saturday. He capitalized on the visitors and venues from Saturday’s Sizzlefest, many of whom stayed or returned to attend both weekend events. As a result, the Lower Similkameen saw some great tourist numbers over the weekend, including one of the largest single-day admission gates at the Grist Mill ever seen on Sunday, September 21. Visitors from all over B.C. and Alberta toured through the mill grounds throughout the day Sunday. The weekend provided us with a great example of what a handful of dedicated volunteers are able to do. It also provided us with a great example of what a single individual can do with the right attitude and vision. Mathieson said Monday he would definitely be staging a second heritage fair next year, “if he’s still here.” We can’t think of a reason why he shouldn’t be. (The province’s Request For Proposal with respect to the future operation of the Grist Mill ends on September 26.)

THE
Report card time for local politicians By Tom Fletcher Black Press This November, voters will be hiring local politicians for a four-year term, rather than three. It’s a good time to ask some tough questions about the performance of councils on the job they are assigned to do, as opposed to posturing about senior government matters. Remember when it was fashionable for city councils to declare their communities “a nuclear weapons-free zone”? You can still see the signs entering Vancouver and Nanaimo. Alert voters may wonder: “Did they really think we’re that stupid?” Yes, they did. And some of them still do. To illustrate, allow me to introduce my poster child for bad local government, Victoria city councillor Ben Isitt. A long-time NDP activist, Isitt got elected three years ago after raising his name recognition with a couple of runs for mayor. His rookie term has
been notable for a series of stunts that extend his career as a professional student, campus radical and occasional history lecturer. One of Isitt’s big studies is the influence of Soviet communism on the B.C. NDP. He was on one of his visits to Russia earlier this year when President Vladimir Putin was having his way with Crimea. Isitt’s fondness for state control was on display last fall when aboriginal protesters disrupted natural gas drilling in New Brunswick, torching several police vehicles in the process. Isitt took to his Facebook page to decry the federal government’s use of police against the population, and suggested Canada should emulate Venezuela, where petroleum resources benefit the people rather than corporations. Venezuela sells gasoline for nine cents a gallon, the late Hugo Chavez’s gift to his people after nationalizing the oil industry. The capital, Caracas, is famous for extreme poverty, brutally suppressed riots, and
a crime rate so bad it ranks among the world’s most dangerous cities. How does Isitt’s political outlook translate to his role in local government? This week local politicians gather in Whistler for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. One of Isitt’s first contributions a couple of years ago was at a UBCM workshop on how to finance local infrastructure. Isitt proposed setting up a municipal income tax. Presumably this would be on top of property taxes. In its wisdom, Victoria council appointed Isitt as their Capital Regional District representative. In that capacity he led the charge against Canada Post’s decision to wind up door-to-door delivery for the minority of people who aren’t already using community mailboxes. After instructing Ottawa to accelerate the bankruptcy of this Crown corporation, Isitt began ordering the province to intervene in a dispute over Grace Islet, a rocky point off Salt

Spring Island where an Alberta man is trying to build a retirement home. The dispute centres on aboriginal burial grounds and artifacts, and Isitt appointed himself advocate for the grievances of native people. When the B.C. government didn’t follow his instructions, he demanded that the CRD expropriate the land and evict the owner. (This was actually considered before cooler heads prevailed.) And how are things with the CRD’s real job while the Isitt circus rolls on? The most overgoverned region in B.C. remains locked in a bitter turf war over a federally mandated sewage treatment project, and is on the verge of forfeiting hundreds of millions in provincial funds. So voters should ask themselves a couple of questions this November. Is your council doing the job it was hired to do? And do you trust these individuals with your wallet until the fall of 2018?

Confused by opposing views on proposed bylaw After reading the two sets of opposing information concerning the proposed Area “G” Community Parks Services Bylaw, I was thoroughly confused. According to the RDOS, it is for the purpose of providing funding for the maintenance of local parks. An earlier version of the bylaw, which was passed by the RDOS in 2007, was never approved by the provincial government because it did not stipulate a taxation amount. The lack of provincial approval apparently was not noticed by anyone. The currently proposed bylaw would raise up to a maximum of $10,000 per year. Not wanting to support a measure that might result in an unnecessary increase in taxes, I conducted my own (mini) investigation. I learned that the RDOS has been paying for parks maintenance from other sources. The RDOS is now seeking approval of the proposed bylaw because “while it is not unusual for parks projects to be initiated through a grant, ongoing maintenance and improvements require a service establishment bylaw to be able to devote long term funding to any function.” According to Christy Malden in the RDOS office, the five year contract with the Hedley Community Recreation Commission Association will expire on August 31, 2015. If there is no bylaw in place, the local group will need to accept responsibility for liability insurance and also maintenance after that time.
I had heard that because of its blanket insurance for many parks, the RDOS is able to acquire liability insurance for considerably less than what the Hedley organization would pay. This would also apply to community parks elsewhere in Area “G”. I spoke with the Valley First commercial insurance representative. He subsequently requested quotes for Hedley’s Woodlie Park from several insurance providers. The first two declined to quote because it is predominantly a children’s park. This may suggest that any company willing to provide insurance will demand a high premium. If the bylaw is not passed we would need to decide whether we are prepared to pay more than currently through the RDOS, to have liability insurance and also to maintain the park ourselves. Of the 8 electoral areas in the RDOS, Area “G” is the only one without a Community Parks Service Establishment Bylaw. According to Christy Malden, if a sufficient number of people sign the form objecting to the bylaw, the Area Director can decide to go to referendum with the matter, or abandon the attempt to have it accepted. Cost of a referendum would be $1,000 -$2,000, if included in the fall civic election. A stand alone referendum would cost about $4,000-8,000. As in most money decisions, wisdom will be required as we ponder the most prudent course concerning this matter. Art Martens, Hedley
Still more questions over Area “G” parks bylaw To the Editor: Since the Review article on September 4, “Parks Bylaw moves forward,” what has gone forward in this short period of time is the dollar increase from $4 to over $6, with a start up budget of $10,000. According to Ms. Wood, this bylaw is a reflection of Area “G”s current needs. What I see is a dollar reflection coming out of our bank accounts and having to budget for a 5.2 per cent ICBC increase along with electricity rates that are going through the roof. Enough is enough.
Ms. Wood is also quoted that the park bylaw would allow the regional district to investigate the possibilities of “a cascade of things that could be done under the legislation.” The Oxford College edition dictionarie’s definition of cascade is “one after the other” . Does that mean “one after the other” photo ops for the Area “G” Director and “one after the other” tax increases for us proud but tax bitten residents of Area “G”? Neil MacLeod, Hedley

Simple remedy for council: put people’s interests ahead of your own To the Editor: The following relates to the village hall, the present council and staff, their relationship to the residents of the Village of Keremeos and the forthcoming election on November 15-2014: In nature most of the impurities cling to the lower ground. The hilltops are bare of undergrowth; the tall trees stretch above the creepers. We human beings obey another law, the higher we climb, the more temptations we meet. Few who reach the summit can be acquitted of vanity or conceit, whatever other vices they are strong enough to resist. I happen to make a distinction between the two. Vanity is an infection suffered by those who care too much what other people think of
them. Conceit on the other hand is self-satisfaction, the mark of people sufficiently sure of themselves to hold the opinion of others as of little consequence, except insofar as it favors or impedes their progress. Both vanity and conceit are defects, but neither need be destructive of personal charm or of zeal to serve the community. The infections are seldom fatal, and they do not necessarily strangle virtues. They happen to be more exasperating in some than in others. Some people make their way through life by patience and a long uncomplaining climb. Others, in politics as in business thrive on flamboyance. They ensure that their names continued on page

continued from page 7 are often in the newspapers and that they are the subject of continued discussion, even if it be critical in the widest circles that can be reached, it is more no doubt, a matter of temperament than of design for some are in a hurry all their lives, while others are content to advance slowly and cautiously towards a chosen goal, securing each position before they move to the next. We are all familiar with the Elvena Slump and Penticton City Council affair. Elvena Slump pointed out another growing problem at City halls in B.C, “secrecy” and it’s a trait that breeds distrust among citizens. It concerns in camera council meetings and the reasons for those closed door meetings. Councils
letters should operate from one simple principle. If you don’t have anything to hide, don’t hide it. The residents in Keremeos must be addressed by village staff and council members with utmost courtesy and respect. When occasional difficulties arise ruffled feathers should be smoothed with a mixture of common sense and transparent honesty. They must say exactly what they think, whether or not their views are likely to coincide with others, honesty and truthfulness must be foremost. We must recognize that consistency does not mean hostility, but rather a willingness to adapt to new circumstances. The staff at village hall are expected to take direction from the elected council. In Keremeos, sad to say it’s the other way around. The new council must
ensure that the directional flow will be reversed. The present council has failed miserably to set out a vision for the future of our community. I do have a passionate belief in democracy and in the future of our village. Democracy is based upon the conviction that there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people, and a simple remedy for future councils would be to put the peoples interests ahead of their own. To all the residents, of voting age in Keremeos I strongly urge you to exercise your democratic rights on November 15, and by doing so reverse the dismal record of past elections at the ballot box. Ted Douglas, Keremeos
RESTLESS LEGS? In the middle of the night, do your legs feel like dancing and twitching when YOU would rather be sleeping? Do they cramp right up? Some folks swear by the off-label use of Quinine for restless legs. Some drink large amounts of tonic water (containing quinine), some add gin. Maybe they’ve got a point. In 2005 the American FDA approved quinine for the treatment of malaria for those who have travelled to certain countries. In 2006 they cautioned consumers about the off-label use of quinine to treat leg cramps. As reported by U.S. physicians at that time, 92% of quinine use in America was for the treatment of leg cramps. It is now known that adverse symptoms of quinine may include nausea, headaches, and tinnitus. Also noted are more severe reactions such as thrombocytopenia (blood clots) renal failure, poor circulation in veins and hypersensitivity MOST COMMON PAIN KILLER reactions. Acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol®) is the most commonly Quinine is not worth the risk. used painkiller in the world. It is also found in combination There are a number of NATURAL remedies: • Drink lots of water or herbal tea. • Get moderate exercise. • Increase your electrolytes, especially the mineral magnesium. One Magnesium phosphate tablet before bed will often, within ten or fifteen minutes, help you settle into that much-needed sleep. Magnesium is an all-natural mineral that helps the muscles relax. Magnesium can also be absorbed through the skin. Have a soak in a hot bath with a half cup of Epsom salts (Magnesium) swished in. Magnesium rich foods include meat, poultry, seafood, broccoli, beans, nuts and seeds such as pumpkin seed. Halloween is coming. Save those pumpkin seeds for roasting. Your restless legs will appreciate it. • Get a massage from a professionally trained practitioner. Deep tissue massage and trigger point massage can set your legs at ease. The massage practitioner can also show you a few ‘emergency’ exercises you can do at home at 2am when they are not available…for some reason.
with other products like those medicines for coughs and colds, menstrual pain and muscle relaxants. Too much acetaminophen is bad for us and can damage the liver. Read the labels on all the medication you take to ensure you aren’t exceeding daily dose levels of 3000 mg. ARE YOU A FLOSSER? Flossing is difficult to do for some people so they don’t do it regularly. But flossing is an important part of good dental hygeine. Brushing gets rid of surface bacteria but only flossing can get between the teeth where you can’t reach with your toothbrush. It takes only 36 hours for plaque, the main cause of gum disease, to harden on your teeth. Flossing will stop this. If you aren’t already, be a flosser. FLU SEASON & PREGNANT Flu season is coming. We often get asked if a pregnant woman should have a flu shot and the answer is yes. Flu vaccine is an inactivated or killed vaccine so it will cause no problem to the mother or the baby. Our pharmacists are up-to-date on all the latest on nutritional supplements. There is so much to choose from. We can help you pick what’s best for you.

First heritage fall fair a stellar success Spectacular late summer weather perfect for weekend activities By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Chris Mathieson, Grist Mill manager, reported an extremely busy Sunday as the mill hosted its first Heritage Fall Fair. “It’s the busiest day this site has seen in a decade,” Mathieson reported Monday, after an estimated 600 people passed through the gate. The Heritage fair followed another busy concert night at the mill as approximately 70 people attended the Equinox Kitchen party, featuring the music of Jocelyn Pettit and the Pettit Band. “It was a magical show,” reported Mathieson. Pettit’s energetic Celtic fiddle music captivated the audience. Pettit enjoyed the venue so much herself, that she stayed on to play an encore on Sunday, performing for two and a half hours through the afternoon.
Mathieson was also pleased by the high turnout of families for Sunday’s event, noting the attendees came from all over the province. “We don’t have a lot of families, usually, so it was good to see them coming back,” Mathieson said, “and I was also surprised to see that a lot of people seemed to be content to just come and ‘hang out’ - we’ll definitely do this again next year, if I’m still here.” The Grist Mill is currently undergoing a Request For Proposals through the provincial government as the province tries to divest itself of some of its heritage properties, the results of which might affect Mathieson’s tenure. In addition to a number of vendors who set up on the site Sunday, a petting zoo, heritage games and face painting were but a few of the activities available to youth. Mathieson said the mill also received over 200 entries for the 70 exhibit categories offered for competition. Forty people submitted entries.

Planning society updated on Similkameen Watershed study Phase one of study completed, second phase will look at water availability By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Members of the Similkameen Valley Planning Society met at the Lower Similkameen Indian Band offices on Wednesday, September 10. Major discussion centred around the awarding of an $87,000 contract for the second phase of the Similkameen Watershed Study to Summit Consulting. The second phase of the study will look at three issues: - assessment of water availability and risk of
inadequate supply. - groundwater and surface water interaction. - surface water quality status and trends analysis. The study’s remaining budget stands at $213,000, from an original grant of $500,000. The SVPS is also initiating a communications plan in order to better convey information about the study to the general public. A tentative date for a public meeting has been set for October 7, with time and place to be announced. Plans are also being made to campaign for further support of the SVPS’ two year old tourism initiative. Provincial funding for the unified web site and tourist guide is available for one
A receent letter sent by Member of Parliament Alex Atamanenko to B.C. Premier Christy Clark outlined his concerns with the recent Request For Proposals for the Grist Mill, issued by the province. Atamanenko cited concerns over such things as protection of First Nations heritage sites at the Grist Mill, 1.2 million dollars in deferred maintenance obligations by the province, and providing adequate attention to the heritage aspects of the site should the province relinquish control of the property to a private party. Atamanenko wrote the letter after receiving a note of concern for the situation sent by Area “G” Director Angelique Wood, in
whose electoral area the mill is located. “As Member of Parliament for this constituency I can attest to the truth of the economic situation in Keremeos that she (Wood) describes... “Two years ago the Grist Mill operator, Chris Mathieson, set a course of revitalization that has resulted in significantly increased attendance, venue rentals and cultural events,” said Atamamenko in his letter. He concluded by asking the premier to reconsider “the Forest, Lands and Development Ministry’s decision to devolve responsibility of the Keremeos Grist Mill and Gardens,” and “consider evaluating this heritage site against other cultural centres rather than against forestry and mining operations.”

ic rifle with scope. It also has a black barrel with brown wood stock. - An Enfield 303 rifle, bolt action (WWII vintage rifle). Police are asking the public for assistance in locating these firearms in the interest of public safety. If you have any information regarding this theft or the whereabouts of the above stolen
firearms please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222- 8477 or your local police department.

The benefits of a healthy diet are clear and well documented. In addition to providing the nutrients a growing body needs, consuming a balanced diet helps children maintain a healthy weight. Obesity continues to be a growing problem among school-aged children and can contribute to the onset of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and many other adverse medical conditions. Children attending school will eat at least one meal away from home each day. A healthy lunch provides sound nutrition to give students energy to do well in school and for the rest of the day. Children who do not eat well at lunch may have difficulty concentrating, while others may feel sluggish or tired. As part of the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, the United States National School Lunch Program was revised to guarantee healthy, nutritionally sound choices, as established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for lunch. America’s school menus were altered to be healthier than ever, including more fruits and vegetables while limiting calories. Despite some controversy through the years, including some students saying the smaller portions and food choices aren’t always satisfying, states suffering from high child obesity rates have seen marked improvements. Canada is one of the few leading industrialized countries that does not have a national nutrition strategy to implement healthy school lunches. It’s estimated that only 10 to 15 percent of Canadian children have access to school meals. These meals are not provided by a well-funded national program, but by a patchwork of individual volunteer efforts, some provincial government funding and corporate donations. Whether students purchase lunch from school or bring lunch from home, there are ways to guarantee a more diverse offering and better nutrition. Here are some guidelines to follow. * Offer nutrient-dense foods. Foods should contribute to the daily recommended amounts of protein, iron, calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. Provide a selection of foods, such as lean protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, that will give children the nutrients they need. Nutrient-dense foods also help kids feel fuller, longer. * Limit fat intake. Avoid foods that do not get their fat from polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Saturated fats can lead to obesity and clogged arteries. The American Heart Association recommends kids get no more than 25 to 35 percent of their calories from fat. Fish, nuts and olives are healthy fat sources. * Let kids choose some of their food. Allow kids to pick some of the healthy foods they will be eating. Giving kids a say in their diets will make them more likely to enjoy their lunches and cut back on snack foods. Eating meals regularly will keep energy levels up during school and make kids less likely to reach for unhealthy snacks to fill hunger gaps. * Make small changes that add up. Switching from white bread to whole grain breads, and opting for low-fat dairy products instead of full-fat dairy products can make a world of difference. Kids may not notice a change in texture or flavor, and many of kids’ favorite foods, such as chicken nuggets, pizza and macaroni and cheese, can be made with healthier ingredients. * Remember, beverages count, too. Giving children a healthy lunch and then packing a sugar-filled, high-calorie drink negates your efforts. Calories from beverages can quickly add up. Water is always the best option for a healthy drink. Low-fat milk and real fruit juice consumed in moderation also make healthy alternatives to sugary beverages. Offering healthy school lunches is an important step to raising healthy kids. 499-2862 499-2225 New guidelines and offerings make it easier for kids to get the Linda Larson, MLA nutrition they need Boundary Similkameen for their growing 6037 Main Street Box 998 bodies.

Have a great year! Enjoy and be safe!
How to help distracted students Today’s students have more gadgets at their disposal than ever before. As technology like tablets and smartphones have become more prevalent in the lives of adults, such devices also have become more commonplace in the classroom. Some kids thrive when teachers utilize technology to enhance lesson plans, while others may be distracted by access to technology. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is one of the most common childhood disorders. ADHD can make it difficult for kids to maintain focus in the classroom, and that focus may be enhanced or further compromised by technology that’s capable of serving many different functions. Kids who use the technology to their advantage may find it improves their ability to grasp lessons, but some kids may be distracted by devices or even other items in the classroom that make it difficult for them to absorb lessons. Parents concerned about their kids’ ability to cope with distractions in the classroom and at home can take the following steps in an effort to help youngsters improve their academic performance. * Speak to your child’s teacher about seating assignments. Students who find it difficult to focus in the classroom may benefit from new seating assignments. Windows or high-traffic areas of the classroom, such as doorways, can compromise a student’s ability to focus. In addition, the back of the classroom is not the ideal spot for youngsters who find it difficult to focus on the teacher, as teachers may not notice kids in the
back of the class as readily as they might with students sitting in the front of the room. * Encourage participation. Many teachers recognize the value of active participation in the classroom, but kids who are struggling to focus may shy away from participating because they are worried about embarrassing themselves in front of their classmates. Parents and teachers can work with students to encourage them to participate, reassuring them that they don’t need to be experts on a given subject to contribute to lessons. Even if students’ participation is limited to asking questions rather than answering them, encouraging kids to raise their hands and participate in class may help them focus more on the lessons being discussed. * Minimize distractions at home. Kids who have no trouble focusing in the classroom may find it’s a whole different ballgame when they arrive home to study or do their homework. Mom and Dad no doubt have their own gadgets around the house, and such devices as well as television may be too difficult for youngsters to ignore. At home, parents can create a safe haven from distraction by designating a room or area of the house for schoolwork. Such areas should be clear of distractions like television, telephones, video game consoles, and other gadgets that can compromise a student’s focus. Make such areas off limits to cellular phones and block social media websites from computers in such rooms so kids aren’t tempted to spend study time chatting with friends online. If a child’s study area is not in a separate room of the house, parents should avoid turning on the television until kids have finished their studies for the night. * Consider playing games designed to improve attention and focus. Games designed to improve attention can be a fun way
for parents to help their youngsters conquer their concentration issues. For example, the creators behind Lumosity.com collaborated with researchers from universities around the world in an effort to design games to improve visual attention in people of various ages and backgrounds. Few kids are not enamored with games, and games to improve focus and attention may help kids without making them feel as though they are back in a classroom. Parents can speak with their child’s teacher to determine which games might be best suited for their youngsters.
Recognizing Cyberbullying Before social media became so prevalent, instances of bullying were somewhat easy to recognize. However, with a good majority of children now engaged in digital networking and social media, bullying may not end with the ringing of the school bell, and evidence of bullying may not be so readily apparent. According to Cyberbullying statistics from the i-SAFE foundation, more than half of adolescents and teens have been bullied online, and about the same number have engaged in cyberbullying. More than 80 percent of teens use a mobile phone regularly, making it the most popular form of technology and a common medium for repeated cyberbullying. Cyberbullying takes place through electronic technology and differs from traditional forms of bullying. Cyberbullying can occur via text messaging, blogging, updates to social media sites and/ or phone conversations. What makes cyberbullying more difficult to detect and remedy than traditional bullying is that sometimes this type of bullying is veiled in secrecy. Those who engage in cyberbullying can create aliases and accounts under false names, allowing them to covertly engage in bullying behavior. As a result, tracking down bullies can be challenging. Although cyberbullying is on the rise, there are some things that parents and children can do to help put a stop to such unfortunate instances. * Parents who feel their child is not emotionally ready for the responsibility of a digital device can hold back on purchasing a smartphone or choose one with very limited features. Some schools set strict limits on phone usage at school, and children who go only from school to home and vice versa may not have the need for an “emergency phone” that can open up a window for trouble. * Adolescents and teens should feel comfortable talking with their parents without the fear of reprimand. Otherwise, they may hide instances of cyberbullying or not know how to broach sensitive topics like bullying. Parents can engage in conversation with their children often and stress that the doors of communication are always open. * Teens should be made aware that cyberbullying is a very real occurrence and is not just other kids “having fun” or “joking.” If behavior is repetitive and hurtful, it should be made public and addressed. * Parents can monitor and limit their children’s personal accounts. Some smartphone and tablet applications can be mirrored on the main account, enabling parents to see incoming text or video messages. * A laptop or desktop computer should be placed in a shared space so that usage can be monitored. Parents can restrict tablet or smartphone usage to public areas. * When online, children should be advised not to share personal information. Social media sites may be used by bullies to gather sensitive information about a person that can be used against them at a later time. Children should be urged to keep passwords secret and to never give information such as birthdays, phone numbers and addresses to people who aren’t close friends. Friend lists should be restricted to only those people students interact with frequently to minimize the chance for bullying or other inappropriate behavior.

Few things can cause more damage to a home than water. Leaks and flooding can cause various structural insufficiencies and may lead to unsafe conditions in a home. Panic often sets in when water enters a home. Some homeowners live in areas where a high water table inevitably forces groundwater up and into subterranean living spaces. Others may live close to coastal areas or rivers and streams that can overflow and cause home flooding. Still others who may not have had a water problem before learn that a heavy rainfall, and perhaps inadequate drainage outdoors, can cause water damage to a home. Compounding these issues is the fact that very often a home’s utility systems are located out of the way in basements, or these spaces may be finished to create additional living space. Water in a basement can be much more than a nuisance. Water can lead to thousands of dollars in damage. Moisture or several inches of water in a basement is nothing to take lightly. Furnaces and water heaters damaged by water can be costly to replace. Wires that come in contact with water can become hazards and cause an electrical fire, and water in a basement may be a harbinger for bacteria and viruses, creating unsanitary living conditions in the home. Mold spores that have developed in a damp basement can spread to other areas of the home thanks to a heating and cooling forced air system. And a cool, damp spot can be the perfect habitat for insects. When a basement develops a water problem, it is best to call in a professional. Although it might not be cheap, calling a professional can help you to remedy the situation faster than if you try several methods to fix the water problem yourself. When looking for a waterproofing company, seek recommendations from people you trust. Only do business with licensed professional contractors who are willing to give you a free estimate. You also can check out businesses by contacting consumer advocacy groups. You may be able to read up on their business practices and learn if there have been any complaints lodged against a company in the past.

PERTEET
EMMA, 1941 - 2014:
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that the family of Emma Perteet announces her passing. Born July 2, 1941 in Germany; died after a short battle with cancer September 9, 2014 in Penticton. Emma was predeceased by her husband, Earl; brothers, Rudolf and Adolf. She is survived by her two children, Tim and Tannis; her two grandchildren, Austin and Alex; sister, Ida; aunt, Hanni as well as many nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank everyone that was involved in her care. Emma was an inspiration to everyone that came in contact with her. She was loved by her children and grandchildren and everyone she met in her life. She will be greatly missed and never forgotten. Her memory will be cherished by all who knew her. The family extend special thanks to her best friend Pat who came from the coast to be there for her. A Memorial Service was held in Keremeos, September 12, 2014 at the Elim Tabernacle. Condolences may be shared by visiting www. everdenrust.com
