The regional district board of directors want to stamp out recent changes to Canada Post mail collection out of the Okanagan and Similkameen valleys.

Oliver rural Director Allan Patton brought the changes to the attention of the board, which involves the collec-tion of mail from local post of� ces in the regional district. Instead of going to Kelowna for sorting, mail now goes to Vancouver and back - adding signi� cantly to the number of days a piece of mail can take to get from one

local community to another, such as Oliver to Osoyoos.“Are local post of� ces in danger of closing?” he asked.

A number of other directors agreed the change in delivery was for the worse. Oliver Director Ron Hovanes agreed that post of� ces were being put at risk by the change, stating that it was a regional district issue to ask Canada Post what their intentions were.

Patton put forward a director’s motion to have staff research future intentions of Canada Post in the regional district, which carried. The board will also invite Pent-icton MP Dan Albas to come before the board to speak to the matter.

During 2012, Valley First shattered its 6,500 pound target by collecting more than 19,000 pounds of food for food banks across the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson valleys.

In recognition of its 65th anniversary, in February 2012, Valley First challenged its employees and communities to collect 6,500 pounds of food in its Feed the Valley chal-lenge. The branch that collected the most food on the way to that target would net $6,500 for their local food bank partners.

After surpassing that initial target in less than four months with the Valley First Armstrong branch leading the charge collect-ing 1,950 of food, Valley First re-issued the challenge offering another $6,500 for food collected until the end of the year.

The lion’s share of the 19,000 pounds of food donations was collected by the small Similkameen town, Keremeos. In 12 months, the branch raised close to 12,000 pounds of food and netted $6,500 for the Cawston and Area Food Bank.

news

The Regional District Board of Direc-tors were given a brief account detailing the failure of one of the RDOS’ emergency communications relay towers that took place over the Christmas holiday.

Emergency Services Supervisor Dale Kronebusch told the directors that a storm on December 18 snapped two power poles suspending hydro lines bringing power to an emergency communications tower on Kobau Mountain. A backup generator kicked in to supply power for several days afterward, but it eventually ran out of gas. On December 29, emergency batteries also failed.

Kronebusch told the board that the system was back in service on January 3, only to fail shortly afterward for another day and a half. Replacement of the power poles is considered to be a safety issue and may have to wait until spring to be replaced. There is a slight pos-sibility that Fortis could string an armoured cable to the tower, but in the meantime the site will be operated by generator.

Area “D” Director Tom Siddon asked staff about the reliability of using radio commu-nications and mountaintop towers to relay emergency communications signals, asking if Telus dedicated ground lines might offer better value and more reliable service. Sid-don, quoting from a series of emails he had received, noted that contractor Planetworks recent study on RDOS emergency commu-nications recommended further mountaintop relays through the establishment of another site on Okanagan Mountain.

“Maybe this is not the best idea, in light of this incident,” Siddon said, “Using dedicated lines like Revelstoke did, at $18,000, may of-fer us better service. All options should be explored. We don’t want to repeat the same mistakes again.”

B o a rd C h a i r D a n A s h t o n n o t -ed that many radio towers were in use

in B.C. and delivered reliable service. “This is an extraordinary year in terms of weather,” he said.

Staff defended Planetworks’ recommenda-tion. Kronebusch described the Okanagan site as one where the regional district would be attaching their equipment to an existing tower. The lack of access to the site was ac-tually an advantage, he said, by helping to maintain security.

“The best system has proven to be radios,” he said, “we’re going back to whats tried and true.”

“If a dedicated ground line will do the job at the right cost, why use a tower - when you can rent a line?” Siddon then asked.

“Planetworks was a third party study that identified a liability, and that was the land line,” answered Mark Woods, Community Services Manager for the RDOS, “ moun-taintop radio frequencies are more reliable.”

“I’m just saying, consider the possibilities,” said Siddon.

Penticton Director Andrew Jakubeit asked staff why no alarms went off when the vari-ous systems failed.

“Someone should have known,” he said of the electrical, generator and battery failures, to which Kronebusch replied that alarms and extra back up batteries would be added to the site.

West Bench Director Michael Brydon added, “We’re reliant on radio communca-tion - it has its place but what are the costs of a dedicated land line - maybe its prohibitive, but I would like to know.”

Oliver Director Ron Hovanes agreed, noting that the backup system - relying on phones and cell phones - was not enough.

The B.C. Liberal party and Boundary- Similkameen MLA John Slater have part-ed company .

On Monday, Jan-uary 14, Slater an-nounced his resigna-tion from the Liberal party, indicating that he would serve out the remainder of his term as an independent.

The news was confirmed by an of-ficial Liberal party announcement that

described the situation thus:

“John Slater has made significant con-tributions to his com-munity in both private and public life.

“Last month, John informed colleagues that he would not seek re-election. Over the past week, he has re-considered his deci-sion and sought to be nominated as the BC Liberal candidate.

“Mr. Slater’s can-didacy is not being approved due to per-

sonal issues that, in our view, impact his ability to represent the party.

“The party sought a cooperative solution through discussions with John. This is not a decision taken lightly and is fully consid-ered.”

These are difficult situations, especially when you like the peo-ple involved.

In these cases, the party president and other officials work in the best interest of

the party. While there is never full agreement in these cases, it was a decision not taken lightly.

Editorial

Democracy not served by party decision

Boundary-Similkameen MLA John Slater’s resignation from the BC Liberal party this week no doubt came as a surprise to many of his constituents.

Slater’s term as MLA for the Lower Similka-meen has been scandal and largely controversy free. There have been no issues that we are aware of that should lead the party to believe that he doesn’t have the confidence of the public lead-ing up to this year’s provincial election.

Indeed, his own riding association has been giving him a full vote of confidence all along.

So why has the party pulled the rug out from underneath him? Slater has been known for saying what he thinks with respect to the Liberal government’s policies over the years - could that be the true reason as to why he fell into disfavour with the party brass?

It would appear to us that the Liberal party has overstepped their boundaries in this in-stance. They seem to have forgotten that an MLA’s first responsibility is to his / her con-stituents, not to the faceless bureaucracy that passes for political parties these days.

When a political party feels it has the author-ity to remove a candidate without any visible sign of disapproval of that candidate from his constituents, democracy fails to be served.

In our system, candidates are not elected to serve at the bidding of a political party’s will.

As a matter of fact, we hope that Mr. Slater will opt to run independently during this year’s election. We feel there is a strong possibility that the constituents of Boundary-Similkameen will demonstrate this point to the Liberals who made this decision, and possibly educate them - if not in time for this election, then for future ones at least.

SANDI NOLANSALES

A study of six northern Alberta lakes conducted by Environment Canada and other scientists was published last week, gen-erating headlines around the world.

“Oil sands toxins ‘ac-cumulate in freshwater systems,’” the BBC an-nounced. The headline in The New York Times de-clared: “Oil sands industry in Canada tied to higher carcinogen level.”

The study was reported with similar alarm across Canada. It looked at lev-els of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in lakebed sediment, and found levels measurably higher than natural sources since oil sands extraction began 50 years ago.

Most news reports I saw made little or no effort to put this information into context, in terms of the actual risk to humans, fish and other organisms. Some quoted people they knew would scream bloody murder, because as we

in the media are taught, conflict and fear attract an audience.

As expected, U.S. envi-ronmental groups and their Canadian branch offices ramped up the rhetoric to battle their favourite villain.

At least one major Ca-nadian newspaper, The Globe and Mail, did a re-sponsible job. Its report on the study stated “PAH pollution level remains low – on par, at worst, with an urban lake – but is rising.”

In fact, five of six lakes tested were far below av-erage contamination of urban lakes. PAH fallout is a daily constant of urban life, from vehicles, industry, and particularly where coal is burned for electricity.

To be clear, there are dozens of different forms of PAH. Some have been shown to increase cancer risk, and some have been linked to (but not proven to cause) infertility, im-mune disorders and fish mutations.

So when you drive your kids to school, stand at the bus stop, or drink a glass

of water from Coquitlam Lake or any urban reser-voir, you are exposed to PAH pollution from hu-man and natural sources. The risk from this is an ongoing focus of research, but this study confirms one thing: your exposure is likely greater in any urban area than it is downwind of the Alberta oil sands.

I argued this point with B.C.’s celebrity environ-mentalist Tzeporah Ber-man, who has shuttled back and forth from For-estEthics to Greenpeace in recent years. She took to her Facebook page to publicize a dramatic call to action from 350.org, one of the most strident climate change advocacy groups in the U.S., selectively using a quote and picture from The New York Times.

Our debate turned to greenhouse gas emissions. I argued that this PAH study mirrors the true picture of carbon dioxide emissions, which is that nearly 70 per cent of CO2 from all petroleum comes when you burn the final product in engines and furnaces. In

B.C., which doesn’t burn coal for electricity, fully 40 per cent of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are from transportation. Other sources include home heating and industry.

Berman insisted I was wrong, and claimed 70 per cent of Canada’s greenhouse gases come from “heavy industry.” I asked for her source. No response.

A 2010 report by a Royal Society of Canada expert panel calculated that 27 per cent of our country’s fossil fuel emissions come from transportation. Another 16 per cent is from fuels burned for electricity. Five per cent is from oil sands operations. Berman’s figure is conveniently untrue.

Greenpeace and the rest of the environmental scare industry want you to believe that stopping Al-berta’s oil sands and pipe-lines would save the planet. Also wrong. It would drive oil demand from the U.S., Venezuela’s oil sands and elsewhere, with little net effect on the climate or pollution.

Inconvenient truth of oil pollutionBy Tom Fletcher Black Press


news

The Similkameen Valley Planning Society held its first meeting of 2013 on January 9 at Cawston Hall.

Both Similkameen Indian bands were ab-sent from the meeting.

The SVPS’ Similka-meen Valley Water Study’s Request For Proposals expired on January 7, with three organizations tendering proposals. The three are:

- Summit Environ-mental Consultants

- Sage Transitions- Lower Similkameen

Indian BandA decision regarding

the winning proposal will be made at the Janu-ary 24 regional district board meeting.

There is a certain amount of urgency to move the study for-ward. Under the terms of grant funding for the study last year is a requirement to complete the work in a year and a half.

Grist Mill update Dave Cursons, Vice

President of the Grist Mill Foundation spoke on behalf of the Grist Mill Heritage Club, tell-ing the SVPS that BC Heritage had received four expressions of inter-est regarding potential future operators of the mill. One submission was disqualified, and one applicant is a local resident.

Cursons told the group that BC Heritage was currently in a “state of reorganization,” ex-pressing fears over pos-sible delays in “process” that might interfere with his group getting tourist information with regard to the mill out to the public in time for the 2013 season.

Tourism Advisory Council (TAC) Update

Joan McMurray re-ported that the Cana-dian Tourism Commis-

sion was interested in the Similkameen tourism initiative, and had taken it on as a pilot project. “We have gone from being so far behind the process to being on the leading edge,” McMur-ray told the society. “All of a sudden we have an industry in the valley that has 170 stakehold-ers.”

McMurray ex-plained that TAC planned to design and implement the Similka-meen’s tourism website prior to creating a print edition ( tourist guide) because of the speed at which the web can intro-duce the Similkameen to the world.

“If they know how to access it, they can get it, no matter where,” she said.

Society members raised questions regard-ing website operation, ongoing maintenance, and cost. McMurray re-plied that after matching funding for the Similka-meen Tourism Project runs out in 2014, the website will be paid for by the stakeholders, with remuneration com-ing from the website. McMurray expected the strategy to work similarly to Penticton’s “model.”

The website will be designed to run for a year without the need for major changes or rebuilds. A coordinator for the website would be ultimately paid for by the stakeholders.

McMurray also noted that writing the Similkameen’s stories would involve the use of the “EQ” technique, or Explorer Quotient, a form of storytelling designed to appeal to certain types of travel-lers.

McMurray made a request to the SVPS for $23,000 in order to

maximize matching funds from the province. Princeton Mayor Frank Armitage asked what plans were in place for future funding, noting that his town was “al-ready well tapped” for tourism, having invested $25,000 into the Princ-eton Visitor’s Centre. “How long do you ex-pect to ask for this level of funding?” he askedd.

McMurray replied that in following years, much less would be needed.

“This project is creat-ing the “funnel” that will bring people into the valley,” she said, adding that once the project was past start up and had compiled some statistics, the group could apply for funding based on infrastructure develop-ment requirements that would become apparent through statistics analy-sis. McMurray hoped the project would get to self sustainable levels quickly, noting that in the Penticton model, stakeholders bought in a various levels, in some cases being charged up to $700.

Armitage also indi-cated he had been sub-jected to critiscism over the additional $1,000 spent by TAC for addi-tional photographs, not-ing that there were many talented photographers locally. McMurray re-plied that local talent would be used wherever possible.

Some discussion also took place regarding the current and future publication of a valley wide tourist guide. TAC was unable to release a version of their own this year, and are work-ing with the valley’s two weekly newspapers - the Princeton Spotlight and the Keremeos Review - both of which are part of the Black Press chain.

The two newspapers have been the traditional publishers of upper and lower Similkameen guides for years, but will combine their efforts this year under the guidance of the tourist strategy, which will be publicly funded for 18 months.

McMurray was un-able to state definitively how the guide would be produced in the fu-ture, offering the pos-sibility that it could be assembled and printed by Black Press under TAC’s supervision, or produced completely by TAC itself, then ten-dered for publication.

The society agreed to support TAC’s request through general fund-ing, which will be sup-ported through mem-bership dues.

To the Editor: When faced by natural disasters that put

their lives at risk, Canadians depend on and expect our troops to protect them—yet the Conservative government is sending mixed messages about charging municipalities and provinces when it provides this life-saving emergency help.

Protecting Canadians has always been one of the core responsibilities of the Canadian Forces, who have proudly helped communi-ties faced with � ooding, wild� res, hurricanes and other natural disasters. Troops helped to � ght major forest � res in British Columbia in 2003. Communities depend on the troops to provide assistance quickly on a scale and with expertise no one can match.

Yet the Conservative government made a secret decision last July to force local governments to foot the bill for emergency assistance. They never told municipalities or the public.

It’s part of the � scal restraint announced in the last budget, cuts that the Conservatives claimed were to “the back of� ce” have turned out to be to essential services. They need to be reminded that there is only one taxpayer. The policy of billing a municipality that just

suffered a disaster is � scal foolishness. The Conservatives know the cost of everything and value of nothing.

Amid a growing outcry, Defence Min-ister Peter MacKay issued a press release late at night claiming that there had been no change in policy, neglecting to mention that his Department will now be creating a bill and forwarding it to another department for collection. The effect is that the municipality or province will still be paying twice – once through their general taxes, and a second time to the federal government. While this policy may have already been on the books, previous governments recognized that charg-ing disaster-stricken Canadians twice for the same service is unfair.

These mixed messages must stop. Cana-dians take care of one another in times of emergency, no questions asked. The Conser-vative government must reverse this poorly thought-out policy immediately and give assurance to Canadians that it will not be stuck with a bill from their own army when the next disaster strikes.

Keremeos Village Council re-ceived notice from BC Assessment that 2013 assessment notices had been sent out, and that property val-ues remained stable in the new year.

CAO Laurie Taylor advised council that, should the current budget estimate remain unchanged after the � nal assessment role is cal-culated by March 15, there would be an $11,000 impact on the current budget.

“Full impact will be unknown until the end of March,” she told council, who received the notice from BC Assessment.

The year end report on the vil-lage’s building inspection services revealed lower revenues for 2012, versus 2011. New residential starts valued $1,006,507.50 in 2012 against $1,203,205 in 2011.

There were no permits issued in 2012 for industrial or commercial building.

Repairs and renovations in the vil-lage were up in 2012, with $343,948 in value against $198,160 in 2011.

The drop in revenues is due to a drop in new home starts - seven in 2011 and four in 2012.

Costs associated with building inspection services were higher than budgeted, while revenue came in below budget. There was a shortfall of revenue amounting to $3,380.54. Higher than anticipated costs as-sociated with building inspection amounted to $2,195.

Council received staff ’s report on building inspection services.

The village entered into a lease for the information centre portion of the Community Resource Centre building with Similkameen Country Development Association for a three

year term.Counci l a lso dis-

cussed, at length, plans to have village staff assume control of the readerboard sign in front of the Infocentre.

Mayor Bauer assured those present that the village was not taking over the sign’s opera-tion because they were unhappy with the way it was being managed; rather, the village noted that funding for the infor-mation sign came from a Towns for Tomorrow grant, so the municipal-ity should have ultimate control over it.Mayor Bauer also noted:

- that the village has staff present in the of� ce for � ve days a week.

- there was more than staff mem-ber available to operate it.

- staff could be made available to update the sign in off hours if necessary.

CAO Taylor also introduced an “electronic sign policy” in order to “remove ambiguities” regarding its use. Listed in the policy are a number of guidelines that include descriptions of eligible events that may be posted, priorities, and dis-claimers of responsiblilty for errors or malfunctions.

Councillor Cowling asked CAO Taylor about staff time and their ability to provide enough time to look after the additional responsibil-ity. Taylor answered that “it shouldn’t be a big impact on staff time” to operate the sign.

Taylor further informed council that the village had a small capital account to handle the costs associated with wireless technology needed to set up the sign’s operation in the village of-� ce. No � gure for the modi-fications could be given, but Taylor noted that the small capital fund had up to $10,000 in funds available

for the work.Councillor Arlow told council

that the sign should be used to ben-e� t regional events, not just com-munity ones. She expressed concerns that Similkameen Country staff had not been allowed any input into the discussion regarding the transfer of operation, also noting the fact that the sign had proven to be problem prone in the past.

Questions during Question Peri-od included a comment by a resident expressing fear that the sign could turn into a “white elephant” for the village in terms of excessive cost.

Mayor Bauer assured the resident that the village was responsible for the cost of the sign,whether it was controlled by Similkameen Country or the village.

news

Village of Keremeos out-side staff were out in full force on Wednesday, January 9 to try and clear village streets before a forecast change in the weather.

Keremeos streets, which were in excellent shape ear-lier in the week, were hit by another heavy snowfall on January 8. That weather event was followed by rising temperatures and rain through the night. By Wednesday afternoon, Keremeos residential streets were a quagmire of ice, compact snow, water saturated snow, slush and pooling water.

Village maintenance staff struggled to move the weighty mess, even with plow blades. By Thursday morning, significant progress had been made to clear most of the slush from the roadways, just in time for freezing temperatures.

Maintenance worker Matt Lougheed was chopping away at stubborn ice surrounding storm drains in an effort to move pooling water in village intersections early Wednesday afternoon.

“I’ve heard a few complaints,” Lougheed

said, “but we are doing the best we can, given the weather.”

After being in the deep freeze for the past week, temperatures are expected to moder-ate somewhat this week. The latest long term weather forecast for the remainder of Janu-ary and early February is calling for drier and milder conditions to take hold in the Similkameen.

Village maintenance staff battle time and weather

Village maintenance worker Matt Lougheed frees up a storm drain at Seventh Avenue and Sixth Street on January 9. Soggy streets have since turned to ice.

On October 4, 1957, the space age of� cially began with the launching by the Soviet Union of Sputnik 1, the first manmade objec t to orbit the Earth. When the USSR “got there first”, it threw the West into a panic to catch up. On January 31, 1958 the U.S.A. launched its own satellite, Ex-plorer 1. This was a rush project, and the intention was to get something into orbit, any sort of orbit. A pencil-shaped satel-lite was quickly put together, carrying fairly rudimentary

instruments, which inc luded, luck-ily, a simple Geiger counter, a device that counts high-energy particles and gamma rays.

Sputnik’s orbit took it between 215 and 939 kilometres from the Earth’s surface. Explor-er’s orbit took it between 358 and

2,550 kilometres out into space. Moving through this large height range every time it orbited the Earth resulted in a dramatic discovery.

When at its closest to the Earth’s surface (called the perigee of the orbit), the Geiger counter recorded the expected number of “clicks” per minute, due to high-energy cosmic rays. How-ever, as the satellite moved upwards to-wards it highest point (called the apogee), the count rate rose, and then, surpris-ingly, above about 2,000 kilometres out,

the count rate fell to zero. On the way back down to the perigee, the counts suddenly started again and fell to their lowest point at the perigee, after which the entire cycle repeated, for orbit after orbit.

Was this zero-count issue a hard-ware error or some other experimental problem? That is when James Van Al-len of the University of Iowa, came up with a possible expla-nation. He suggested the reason the count rate fell to zero is that the radiation above about 2,000 kilometres was so high that the Gei-ger counter could no longer count them. Van Allen suggest-ed that the Earth is surrounded by belts of solar and cosmic ray particles that are trapped in our plan-et’s magnetic field. Subsequent investi-gations proved Van Allen to be right, and

showed the Earth to be surrounded by two radiation belts, that are now known as the Inner and Outer Van Al-len Radiation Belts. On their way to the Moon, the Apollo as-tronauts had to pass through these belts. However, there is no serious hazard when one quickly passes through, although it would be unwise to spend a lot of time in them. Most of our space missions, such as the International Space Station, orbit well below the belts.

We would expect any planet with a magnetic field to have radiation belts. The most dramatic ones found so far are those around the planet Jupiter. Its radiation belts would endanger the lives of human astro-nauts and can dam-age the electronics of spacecraft going through them. The two Voyager space-

craft moved through at high speed. How-ever, in the 1990’s the Galileo spacecraft spent years explor-ing the space around Jupiter. It suffered numerous radiation-induced failures but sent us back a lot of very useful and new information, not only science, but also how we can make more robust space technology. Space is a hostile place, but so is the Antarctic. We can live and work at the South Pole, and we are solving the problems of liv-ing and working in space.

Jupiter dominates the southern sky dur-ing the night. Saturn rises about 2 a.m. The Moon will reach first quarter on the 18th.

Ken Tapping is an astronomer with the National Research Council’s Dominion Radio Astro-physical Observatory, Pent-icton.

Discovery of Van Allen belts proves to be a lucky discovery

health

As the title of this article implies, what you consume immediately following your workout is almost as impor-tant as the workout itself. Every time you exercise, you deplete a significant amount of your stored muscle glycogen (carbohydrates) as well as your amino acid pool, and the stress of that exercise breaks down and damages your muscle cells. The good news is that those muscle cells grow bigger and stronger (provided they are properly nourished) so they can better handle that stress in the future. However, the effects of exercise are quite catabolic. You drain your fuel supplies, you eat up the circulating protein in your system, you distress your muscle cells and depending on the intensity of the activity, you may burn some muscle tissue for energy along the way. Additionally, the adrenal hormone cortisol is released. Although an important hormone, it is the bad guy in athletics because it assists in the conversion of existing muscle tissue into fuel. All this adds up to a highly catabolic environment that breaks down, burns up and empties your reserves. Making the transition from that exercise induced depleted state to one of recovery, repair and growth is the tricky part. Fortunately, a wonderful window of opportunity presents itself right at the time we need refuelling the most. For an hour or so after a workout your body’s ability to absorb and utilize nutrients is exceptionally high. With a well-timed protein shake following a workout, you not only replenish and refuel yourself, you also shift gears from the catabolic environment an anabolic one that begins the growth, recovery and repair process. This high absorption window of opportunity is short lived. If you do not reload during that first critical hour, chances are you will linger in a catabolic state for hours. A protein shake, ideally consumed within 30 minutes after exercise containing both good quality carbohy-drates and a high biological value protein source is the simple solution. The obvious combination is a fruit juice based shake or smoothie that includes whey protein. This type of shake is quickly and easily digested (much quicker than solid food) and almost immediately initiates the recovery process. Not only do the carbohydrates replenish your glycogen stores, they also encourage the release of insulin, which plays a significant role in the transportation and uptake of the pro-tein in your shake. As far as protein powder, a clean high quality whey protein concentrate is a sensible choice, but if your budget permits it, you can’t beat cross flow microfiltered whey protein isolate. It has both an outstanding protein percentage and biological value, two important considerations. Feel free to add other ingredients and nutritional supplements to your post workout shakes.

WORLD DIABETES DAYWorld Diabetes Day is on November 14. Diabetes is recognized as a world epidemic. The number of people that will be diag-nosed with Type II diabetes is expected to rise dramatically over the next few years. By controlling our weight, exercising, we can have a great effect on our chances of getting the disease.

FOOT HEALTH & DIABETESIf you are a diabetic already, do you check your feet daily? Dia-betics often lose nerve sensitivity in their legs and feet. Note particularly any breaks in the skin to prevent any infection from occurring. It’s also extremely important to wear good comfort-able shoes.

RISK FACTORS FOR DIABETESPeople who are overweight are at a greater risk of becoming diabetic. If you want to lose weight, start by setting a realistic goal. Losing only 10% of your current body weight can go a long way to reduce your risk of heart disease, high blood pres-sure, osteoporosis and of course diabetes. No time like the pres-ent to start.

SIGNS OF DIABETESMany Canadians have diabetes and don’t know it. Here are some of the signs of diabetes; frequent urination, fatigue, exces-sive thirst, change in vision and tingling or lack of sensation in feet and legs. Once diagnosed, diabetes is very controllable. See your doctor if you are feeling these symptoms and particu-larly if there is a diabetes history in your family.

Our pharmacy has a complete selection of diabetic supplies. Combine that with all the diabetic knowledge possessed by our pharmacists, we are your Diabetes Centre.

By Nina Boski, Positively PositivePART II2. Acknowledge Your FeelingsKnow that if your doubts, fears, and uncertainty arise, it’s ok. Some people don’t like to acknowledge these qualities when they are feeling them because they think that the feeling is going to overtake their lives. Know that feelings are like the weather-always changing. Ride the wave of the feeling and acknowledge it (you may need to write, cry, etc.) but feel it and move on without changing course.3. Give Yourself CreditIf you have lived on this planet for any length of time, remember this is not the only time you have ventured into the unknown; you have already gone through life’s new beginnings and tough times, so you can do it again. Reflect back on how you made it through a past event when you thought you were never going to see it to the other side. By giving yourself credit and acknowledging that you have done it before, it will give you confidence that this too shall pass and the unfamiliar will become easier with time.4. Create Safe Havens for YourselfPart of the unknown is scary-we don’t know where we are going yet. It’s new. So find people, experi-ences, and situations that make you feel safe. Create a great circle of positive support-friends, men-tors, and loved ones-and remember to avoid toxic people who can cause you to sabotage your new beginning.For me, my protecting and nurturing area is my home, a wonderful place to restore and renew my spirit and my connection to God. Find what works for you and create those safe havens.

5. Prepare for the PositiveUse this time to redirect your energies toward your goals and desires. Focus on what you do want versus what you don’t want or what is not happening now. This is a time to understand and connect to the why of your unknown. If it is viewed as an unexpected loss or negative turn of events, find the lesson. Don’t ask yourself, “Why me?” Ask yourself, “What can I learn?” or “What is this turn of events showing me?” Whether it is expected or not, find the positive. Prepare for the positive. Prepare for the new. Allow the unknown to take you to fresh and unforeseen areas in yourself.

I say, “rock on with your fabulous new self and rise like a phoenix from the ashes,” which can enrich and enliven your mind, body, heart, and spirit!

SENSOR CHIP - SOUNDS INTERESTINGTo make it easier for diabetics to check their blood glucose levels, a firm in Germany is developing a small sensor chip that will be implanted near the lower eye lash. It measures glucose levels of the tears or sweat and transmits the results to a special receiver. It’s a few years away from general use but sounds promising.

GRAPEFRUIT JUICE CAN AFFECT MEDICINEDrinking grapefruit juice sometimes can affect the action of certain drugs. Often the effect is to change how drugs are broken down in the body and may cause an increase in the concentration of the drug. Our pharmacists will let you know when it would be wise not to drink grapefruit juice.

SPLITTING TABLETSSplitting tablets in half is sometimes needed to get the correct dose. We’ll let you know when this is appropriate. Some drug companies design their tablets to split in half easily by simply pressing on the ends of the tablet. We’ll inform you is this is the case with your prescription.

NATIONAL NON-SMOKING WEEKNational Non-Smoking Week is next week from Jan. 20 to 26 and smack in the middle is “Weedless Wednesday” which is an idea to promote a “one day at a time” approach to quitting smoking. It’s a way of giving smokers a start on a smoke-free life.

Our pharmacists are familiar with smoking cessation methods. We’d be happy to chat with you about them.

OBITUARYBEAUGRANDE L I Z A B E T H (BETTY): It is with enormous sadness that we announce that Betty passed away at the age of 85 years, January 6th, 2013 in her new home at Orchard Haven in Keremeos. Her passing was peaceful but at the end of a long

struggle with many health challenges. Betty is survived by her daughter, Mary-Ellen (Alan) Wingrove (England); sons, Brendan (Beth) Flynn (Kelowna) and Vincent(Audrey)Flynn(Keremeos); grandchildren, Christina (Scotland), Franco (China), Emily (Kamloops), Erica (Keremeos), Adam (Nanaimo), Alec (Kelowna) and her great grandchildren, Devon, Riley, Elyssa (Kamloops), and Cosmas, Sera na, Anona (Scotland). Betty was predeceased by her husband, John Beaugrand in 2000 and her son, Joseph James in 1952.We would like to thank all the staff at Or-chard Haven for their tremendous caring and kindness during her stay. In lieu of ow-ers, donations can be made to Betty’s favor-ite charity: BCSPCA.A Memorial Service will be arranged for the spring. Betty will be missed by many. Her strength and tenacity in the face of many challenges throughout her life are truly in-spirational. Her kindness and love will al-ways be remembered. We love you mom, gramma.Condolences may be shared with the family by visiting www.everdenrust.com

If you’re like most Canadians, your RRSP eligible investments will likely be a vital source of retirement income. However, like most Canadians, you’re prob-ably not making the most of your contribution room. According to Statistics Canada, in 2010, almost 93% of taxfilers were eligible to contribute to RRSP eligible investments but only 26% actually made contributions, adding up to $33.9 billion in total contributions – but representing only 5.1% of the total room available.*

If you’re having trouble coming up with enough money to fill your available RRSP eligible investments contribution room this year or if you’ve got unused room from previous years, an RRSP loan may be a smart strategy.

RRSP eligible investments can provide solid tax savings along with tax-deferred, compound growth so the short-term interest costs of an RRSP loan can be outweighed by the long-term benefits. Here’s an example **:

◘You’re entitled to make a maximum contribution to your RRSP eligible investments of $10,000 for the 2012 tax year but you have only $5,000 of cash on hand. So you borrow the additional $5,000 (at 7% interest) and – here’s the important part – pay it back in a year.

◘If your marginal tax rate is 35%, your additional $5,000 contribution gets you an immediate tax refund of $1,750 and (at an annual return of 8%) your $5,000 top-up loan earns an additional $400 at an interest cost of $190 for the loan.

◘If you leave the additional $5,000 in your RRSP eligible investments for 25 years, that top-up contri-bution will grow to more than $34,000 (at an average rate of 8%).

The keys to the success of a top-up RRSP loan strategy include:

◘Get a low interest rate that does not eat up your potential tax savings and investment returns.

◘Repay the loan as quickly as possible – prefer-ably one year but, in most circumstances, no longer than two years.

◘Use your RRSP-related tax return to pay down your loan.

Smart strategies for top-up RRSP loans

◘Consider using the cashflow from a Pre-Authorized Contribution (PAC) program to fund your RRSP loan payments. Depending on the interest rates using PAC income can help you by, for example, avoiding cash crunches that might prevent loan payments.

An RRSP loan is not the right strategy for everyone. You professional advisor can help you make that deci-sion as well as how to make the most of your investment savings for retirement.
