Keremeos Ambassadors Selena Nugteren, Téa Hart� eld and Jamie Forner take part in of� cial ceremonies during Canada Day celebrations in Kere-meos. Also present were Boundary - Similkameen MLA Linda Larsen, Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer, and Cawston Regional District Director George Bush. The events at Memorial Park and at the Grist Mill were well attended this year. For more photos and story, please see pages 10-11.

Oliver, Keremeos, Osoyoos and the Okanagan-Similkameen Regional Dis-trict are receiving over $900,000 from the Strategic Community Investment Fund to invest in local policing and community safety, services and projects, MLA Linda Larson announced July 7.

It is part of almost $74 million being invested through the Fund into commu-nities across B.C. this year. Local com-munities have discretion and flexibility to use this unconditional funding to meet their needs in various ways in-

cluding more policing, new equipment, increased community safety initiatives, infrastructure, administration and ser-vice delivery priorities.

“These grants given to our small communities from the provincial gov-ernment help ensure that public safety services are adequately funded,” said Larson, MLA for Boundary - Similka-meen. “With our government’s com-mitment to sharing these funds we will continue to see a better quality of life developed in our communities.”

Communities receiving Small Com-munity Grants:

$236,470 – Keremeos$317,847 – Osoyoos

$328,515 – Oliver Regional District Grant:$109,195 – Okanagan-Similkameen Village Chief Administrative Officer

Laurie Taylor said the annual funding is placed in the operating funds budget, used to fund various projects in the community.

The Strategic Community Investment Fund includes the Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing Program, Small Community Grant and Regional District Grant Pro-grams. Small Community Grants apply to communities with less than 20,000 and are used for infrastructure, to en-sure stable administration and service delivery priorities.

New fuel facilities at Twin Lakes

Market

Ken and Heidi Horncastle saw the frui-tion of a 14 year plan for their business this week as the finishing touches of a modern-ization project took place at Twin Lakes Market.

“We are certainly thankful to our customers who continued to support us through last month’s construc-tion,” Ken said. Upgrades to the business’s fueling facilities had been part of the couple’s long term plans for the operation for more than a decade.

Major renovations were done to the operation’s parking lot and gas pumps, which resulted in construc-tion interuptions and a temporary loss of fuel sales through June.

The Horncastles removed the business’s under-ground fuel tanks and upgraded their gas pumps, upgrades that also provided some piece of mind.

“The tanks had been in the ground for a long time.” Ken said, “fortunately, we had no issues, no signs of leakage after all those years.”

Above ground tanks have been installed, along with

four modern new pumps that will carry regular, mid-grade, premium and diesel. Marked premium gas will also soon be available.

Issues with wireless technology in the Twin Lakes area made the pay at the pump method uneconomical at this time, but an upside to that is, as Heidi pointed out, “that we will still get to see our customers.”

AFD, which partnered with the Horncastles to com-plete their upgrades, is a relatively new retail petroleum outlet in B.C. Twin Lakes Market is only the third outlet in the province, but the company is expanding quickly in B.C.

“Our fuels ship out of the Kamloops tank farm,” Ken said, “just like everyone else’s.”

Twin Lakes Market’s hours for the summer are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, 7 a.m. - 8 p.m., Wednesday to Friday, Saturday 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Bob Castleman draws the first fillup from Twin Lakes Market’s new fuel facility.

The Village of Keremeos, in conjunction with Similka-meen Country recently reviewed responses from local business following the April 29 business walk.

Part of the village’s efforts to help local business include a steady reduction in the ratio between business and resi-dential tax rates since 2004. The ratio now stands at 1.86, down from 2.36 a decade ago.

There has been a tax incentive available for business improvements in Keremeos since 2005, under the revital-ization tax exemption program, something many business owners may not be aware of.

Other initiatives and liasons between local government and the business community were also noted in the vil-lage’s review. They include:

- Keremeos and electoral areas “G” and “B” have a ser-vice agreement to provide secure funding for the infocentre

- a council representative attends all Sim Country meet-ings.

- a map next to the infocentre locates local businesses that purchased space on the map.

- the Similkameen Valley Planning Society is a col-lection of governments in the Similkameen that recently developed a regional tourism strategy. A communications plan is in the works to connect business with new tools with which to advertise their products and services.

- this year, the SVPS participated in a “Buy fresh - buy local” program that includes maps and social media ap-plications for the whole valley.

The village insists its tendering process, which came un-der fire from a local merchant earlier this year, is as open as possible so local suppliers and service providers “have every opportunity to make local or out of town contrac-tors aware of the products or services they have to offer. Keremeos also collaborates with the Ministry of Jobs, Skills, Training and Tourism to ensure current informa-tion is available to buisness. The review also revealed the fact that only 85 of the 141 businesses registered with the village are members of Similkameen Country.

Princeton rural Director Brad Hope continued to express his concerns about the Fortis dam proposal upriver of Princ-eton at the Thursday, July 3 board of directors meeting for the Regional District Okanagan Similkameen.

Oliver rural Director Allan Patton requested support for a motion to have the committee come up with a position on the dam.

Both Patton and Hope suggested now was the time for the Environment and Infrastructure Committee to take a stand on the proposal. Other directors indicated a willingness to wait until more facts were known.

Hope’s concerns stem from reports Fortis is negotiating for a deal to sell downstream water rights to American interests in order to make the dam financially viable.

“What are the benefits to Canadian interests?” he asked, noting that as far as flood control, a dam that far upstream on

the Similkameen would have limited benefit, as it was located upstream of the Similkameen’s major tributary, the Tulameen.

“They are talking about turning 20 kilometres of the river into a narrow lake, and selling off downstream uses before settling upstream responsibilities. There are a lot of questions that need to be answered.

“We need to see a lot more on the table as to what’s going to happen in Canada first.”

Hope was also concerned about the province’s lack of participation in the debate at this point in time, noting that negotiations appeared to be private, with no input from the province.

That sentiment was also articulated in a recent article in the July 2 edition of the Commonsense Canadian’s online edition in an article titled, “Fortis, U.S. mull massive Similkameen dam; Where is B.C. government?”

Author Ken Farquharson suggested the B.C. government was “sitting on the sidelines” and “derelect in duty” in not involving itself in the proposal at this point.

Walkway unveiled for Kaleden’s Lakehill Road

From left, Minister of Tranportation and Infra-structure Todd Stone, Kaleden resident Kim Denis, Boundary - Si-milkameen MLA Linda Larson and RDOS Area “D” Director Tom Sid-don perform the cer-emonial sod turning at the July 4 official announcement of immi-nent construction of a $500,000 walkway run-ning the length of Lake-hill Road in Kaleden. The multi purpose walkway is expected to be completed by fall.

Residents of Kaleden are looking forward to a new pedestrian walk-way running the length of Lakehill Road after an official announcement was made at a small ceremony in Kaleden on July 4.

The $500,000 project is a 50-50 shared cost partnership between the Regional District Okanagan Similka-meen and the Ministry of Transpor-tation and Infrastructure.

A two kilometre long, paved pathway will be constructed from Lakehill Road and Highway 97 to Lakehill Road and Ponderosa Drive along the Kaleden waterfront. Plans call for the pathway to be built along the south side of the roadway from Highway 97 to Pineview Drive, where it will cross the road and run down the north side to the water-front.

At a small ceremony which took place on the Ross’ property on Fri-day, Transportation Minister Todd Stone credited Kaleden resident Kim Denis for bringing the project to the regional district’s and the province’s attention. She forwarded a petition containing just shy of 200 signatures to the regional district and the min-istry three years ago to get the ball rolling.

Minister Stone cited safety issues as the underlying need for the walk-way, stating the project should make a “big difference to the quality of life in Kaleden.”

Stone said the project should get underway later this summer, to be completed sometime in the fall.

RDOS Area “D” Director Tom Siddon assured the handful of Kaleden residents at the announce-

ment that the cost “would not be charged to Kaleden taxpayers.” The regional district’s portion of fund-ing will come from the Commu-nity Infrastructure Projects fund, a category of Gas Tax funding. Siddon acknowledged the community’s and Denis’ involvement in the project, adding he hoped to extend a “side branch” of the sidewalk up Linden Avenue to the school after the Lake-hill section was completed.

Kaleden resident Dennis Gaudry, who resides on the upper portion of Lakehill Drive, and whose driveway will be impacted by walkway con-struction, said he was in favour of the project.

“I’m encouraged, after discus-sions with the regional district, as a land owner along the right of way, that there will be ongo-ing, on site reviews as to how it’s going to impact my driveway,” he said.

“It’a particularly needed from the community centre down to the lake.”

Kaleden Fire Chief Darlene Bailey also favoured the project, noting the department has had to respond to pedestrian acci-dents along the road in the past.

Kaleden resident Rita Vieau said she thought it was a good idea, too.

“Tons of people walk and run up and down Lakehill,” she said, “this should make it much safer. Our roads in Kaleden are scary,” sentiments also echoed by Birch Avenue resident Julie Frostad.

“I don’t know how it’s going to affect parking, but we think it’s wonderful,” said Betty Mc-Donald, whose son Dave owns Lakeview General store.

“Everyone who comes in here is posi-tive about it.”

Prior to the meeting, Siddon took the minister on a tour of the com-munity to point out the condition of some of the streets, including Lake-hill Road. When asked afterwards about future work on Lakehill Road itself, Minister Stone noted Lakehill’s deteriorating condition, saying the multi - use path was the ministry’s first priority.

“There is a case for focus on pav-ing (Lakehill)” he said, “we’ll take a look at it, but we have no imminent plans - the multi - use path comes first.”

On a sweltering hot afternoon last week in Keremeos, a small number of transient farm labourers are relaxing under some shade thrown by an immature cottonwood at the east end of the Burlington Northern rail trail.

It’s not only the temperatures heat-ing up under mostly clear, sunny skies in Keremeos these days. In what can best be described as an annual event, a number of residents are objecting to the transient farm labourers - and other transients - that make temporary homes for themselves in Keremeos every summer.

This year, resident’s reactions are similar to those of years past - with one excep-tion. Recent attempts to control access to the former Farmworkers Campground on the Similkameen River flats has made the transients’ presence on the village side of the dike far more visible, and that seems to be a major reason behind a 125 -plus signature petition that was presented to Keremeos Village Council on July 7 that sought to have the transients evicted.

At the end of Veterans Avenue on this afternoon, a half dozen vehicles sit in the hot sun in an impromptu parking lot. The vehicles, older models for the most part that look like they’ve seen a lot of hard use, but are still viable, are a reflection of their owners, some of whom are at rest under the tree.

The five labourers relaxing in the shade this Thursday afternoon (they do not wish to be named or photographed out of fear of reprisal) are upset about the petition. Most of the group are from Quebec; one man in particular has some opinions he is more than willing to express on the subject.

“We’ll show up en masse to the council meeting on Monday,” he promises in easily understood English. “We may not pay taxes in the village, but we invest here. Seventy-five per cent of what we make as pickers goes back into the community, because we buy every-thing we need to live here.

“They say we are lazy people who don’t do anything - well, maybe they should go ask the farmer whose orchard we worked in all morning, what we do.”

In speaking to the garbage issue, he said village business should devote a portion of their charitable goodwill towards the placement of a dumpster near the dike, as most of the garbage that accumulates comes from local retailers.

“When I’m down at Pine Park I’m constantly telling others to move away from the playground and the east side of the park,” he continued. “We’re as respectful as we can be, yet we still have people who see us on the street and yell at us to ‘go home.’

“This is my home.”The man went on to say he had been coming to

Keremeos for 39 years.“Treatment is the same here as it was in 1976,” he

said, “when they closed Froggy Beach in Cawston. The difference is, we’ve changed a bit. There’s no need to show disrespect to us.”

He said he wanted to talk to petitioner Ted Doug-las, but Douglas refused to speak to him.

“We saw them building the enclosure for the dog park,” he continued, gesturing towards the new fencing across from the sewage treatment plant.

“We thought they were building that to put us in. “We were going to name it the Manfred Bauer

Campsite.”“I’d like to have a debate,” the farmworker said,

adding he doubted he would have an opportunity to present his arguments at the council meeting on Mon-day.

“I will be there,” he promised, nonetheless, “this is getting us nervous and excited.”

EditorialTransient issue mostly

about rightsSummer tempers appear to be heating up along

with summer temperatures in the Similkameen.Last week’s petition delivered to Keremeos

council on Monday night, which largely spoke against transients in the village, elicited a response from a long time transient of the village, who raised some interesting points that don’t often get heard in the debate that is an annual rite in Keremeos.

Local politicians and police have come to realize the difficulties of “forcibly removing” people from the village. It’s a simplistic solution that doesn’t take into account the many other issues that surround the challenge of dealing with an annual transient population in a small community.

In a free and open society, it’s not an option, anyway.

We don’t expect the petition or any discussions in its aftermath to find a solution to the issue. Most people familiar with it realize there has been a tran-sient issue in the community for longer than many who currently reside here; that point was brought home, ironically, by a transient, who has, from his point of view at least, been a part of this commu-nity as long as many who live here permanently.

We have had several discussions with itinerant labourers in the community. We have found them to be approachable and civil, and each time have come away with a modified view of who these people are, what they represent, and how they ben-efit the village. To those in the village who object to the transient’s presence in the community, we would respectfully suggest the road to a more peaceful existence with the transient population might start with an open view to dialogue.

A civilized, honest and open discussion might not change the way things are, but may very well go a long way towards changing the negative reactions to a situation that may not have a solution - not if one respects the rights of others, at least.

I recently picked up a used university textbook that looked like a handy reference.

“Geography in British Columbia: People and Landscapes in Transition”, by Brett McGillivray is a good reference, except where it strays from geog-raphy into politics.

This 2005 edition came out not long before the B.C. Treaty Commission started producing agree-ments, notably with the Tsawwassen First Nation. It recounts the establish-ment of the Ministry of Native Affairs by the Bill Vander Zalm government in 1990, and the election the next year of Mike Har-court’s NDP, who reversed the province’s historical legal position and tried to accept the existence of aboriginal title.

At this point the text-book departs from the facts and leads its fresh-man pupils into left-wing dogma.

McGillivray writes:

“When the Liberal Party won the 2001 election (with all but two seats), it launched a province-wide referendum on treaty negotiations, prompting commentators to suggest the government was ‘trying to impose 19th century ideas on a 21st century problem’.”

“Commentators” in the above quote is of course only one commentator, veteran lefty Vancouver columnist Stephen Hume.

This quote was indeed representative of the media consensus at the time. On TV, aboriginal lead-ers burned their ballots while denouncing the referendum as racist and divisive. The public, and later university students, were taught that Gordon Campbell’s government was exploiting racism for political gain.

In fact, this referendum was one of a long series of efforts to untangle the legal knot left by Canada and B.C.’s failure to complete historical treaties after 1900.

Seven of the eight

questions in the 2002 referendum were simply to confirm the existing posi-tion of B.C. treaty negotia-tors. The purpose, then as now, was to settle treaties.

The first question asked if private land should be exempt from expropria-tion for treaty settlements. Private property rights are not so much a 19th century idea as a 17th century one, defined in 1690 by John Locke.

What remains true today is that no society has made significant social and environmental progress without individual prop-erty rights.

The Tsilhqot’in dropped claims of property held by non-aboriginal residents from their appeal to the highest court, a wise move considering that pushing people from their homes would lead to violent con-frontations.

The only new question asked if aboriginal self-government “should have the characteristics of local government, with powers delegated from Canada and British Columbia.”

Arguably, that’s what has emerged from the Tsilhqot’in case, which upholds provincial juris-diction over public forest policy on environmental and fire protection on aboriginal title lands.

By 2009, frustrated with a lack of progress, due to Ottawa’s inaction as well as inconsistent leadership from aboriginal communi-ties, the Campbell govern-ment tried to cut the knot. Its proposed Recognition Act would have accepted a form of aboriginal title across the province, based on 30 historical “indig-enous nations.”

That idea originated not with the province but with the First Nations Leadership Council. It was rejected by a broader group of aboriginal leaders later that year.

The best way forward, also endorsed in the 2002 referendum, is sharing land use planning. B.C. has also begun sharing resource revenues.

The most likely path, however, is back to court for years to come.

To the Editor: Hedley Farmers Market - awe-

some!What a wonderful morning I

had on Saturday at the Hedley Farmers Market.

The acoustic music and song gently draws you into the park where the vendors and wares were displayed. I am always surprised with the talent that people have and how what they create, says so much about who they are. The treasures I gathered were items I could not pass by, as each gift was as if it was especially made for the person I chose it for. I am so eager

to deliver them.After I had purchased a box of

incredible lambert cherries I sat down for an amazing tarot read-ing. It was as if she knew my every dilemma and shared wise, thought-ful advice about the direction my life is going. I was invigorated, empowered, resolved. This was my first reading and it will definitely not be my last.

As I strolled by “Shen” acu-puncture table which was offering treatments by donation my tired, sore arm that had been giving me trouble, called out for help. After a relaxing session with pins in my

head, my arm and my leg I had to admit that I could feel a “release” of sorts and it does feel much bet-ter this morning. One more treat-ment and I think my arm will be fine.

Market Manager, Jodel, kept the vendors and guests happy and the flow of the market running smoothly. It was a smaller market this week but each and every one of the vendors was worth stop-ping by and I am looking forward to next Sunday. Hope to see you there, every Sunday.

TJ Bratt, Hedley

To the Editor: I would like to talk about seniors and “bad apples.”I have been going to the Seniors Centre for years,

and have met some very fine people. I have attended many functions and have really enjoyed myself, there are some very wonderful, delightful people I have come to know.

However, there are a few bad apples as well.Now, what I mean by bad apples, there are a few

seniors who go to the centre quite frequently who just can’t seem to get along with anyone. They just seem to criticize, gossip and name call and generally complain about a lot of things. These same people never smile and are negative about every little thing someone does, but never do you see them lift a finger to help out; no harmony here.

I find you cannot please these people no matter how hard you try. It makes a rather unpleasant atmosphere with all the fighting and bickering they seem to initiate.

I have never in all my years seen seniors act this way. The foul language some senior say to others is terrible - and we are much older poeple, too. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Whatever happened to people’s morals and values in life?

We can’t blame our youth for the way they act in to-day’s society when they see seniors acting this way - we are supposed to set an example for youth to follow.

I think the senior’s centre should have some rules about people’s conduct with respect to the way they act around their fellow man. It leaves me with a real bad taste in my mouth, to say the least.

I hope in the near future these rules will come about, for we are losing so many fine people because of the lack of laws in place. A few bad apples really spoil it for everyone else. I think we can all learn from this - less criticiz-ing, and just try to get along together. My great grandparents would say, “If you can’t say some-thing nice about someone, don’t say anything at all.”

Wendy Cordel, Keremeos

Sour grapes to the individual, or individuals, using side alleys of Seventh Avenue as bathrooms. Simply put, it’s crude and loutish behaviour.

Sweet grapes to a collector car show in Memorial Park on July 19 at noon . Mayor Manfred Bauer and MLA Linda Larson will welcome the tour to Keremeos in a special event for the village.

Sweet grapes to parents and administrative staff at Similka-meen Elementary Secondary School, for putting together a great grad ceremony.Sweet grapes to all the grads, - best of luck in your future

endeavours.

Further negotiations between the BC teachers union and the province do not appear to be on the horizon after an an-nouncement on July 2 that the mediator chosen by both parties declined the job. The statement read:

In a joint statement issued on Wednes-

day, it was stated: “The BC Public School Employers Association and the BC Teachers Federation agreed that Mr. Justice Kelleher would be an acceptable mediator.

He had some exploratory discussions with the parties and determined that me-diation is not indicated at this time. The parties appreciate the Supreme Court making him available.”

Canada Day in Keremeos

Sunny skies and soaring temperatures made for an enjoyable morning in Kere-meos as several hundred residents met in Memorial Park to celebrate Canada Day.

This year’s perfect summer weather com-bined with a nearly ideal combination of vendors, children’s games and other activi-ties that kept citizens entertained through-out the morning.

Keremeos Elks began the day with their pancake breakfast, with the inimitable style of the Corner Turtles providing entertain-ment until the 10 a.m. Canada Day cer-emonies. Children had several activities to play, including the always popular bouncy castle, provided by the Elim Tabernacle,

who also provided volunteer help. The Summerland ATV Club hosted a kid’s train ride running along the Great North-ern right of way. Members of the group from Cawston and Keremeos assisted in the event, which proved to be very popular with the kids.

Face painting, ball games and some boxing and martial arts activities provided by Main Event Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts of Keremeos rounded out entertain-ment for the morning.

Opening ceremonies were attended by the Keremeos Legion honour guard, local politicians Mayor Manfred Bauer, MLA Linda Larson, and Cawston Area Director George Bush, all of whom delivered brief speeches.

Vendors included the Similkameen Arts Society, Tree To Me, Valley First Credit

Strong turnout for Canada Day activities

“I think atten-dance is up from previous years,” commented In-focentre Man-ager Collleen Chris-tensen. She noted an increase in vendors participating over last year as well.“I’m pleased with the turnout,” she said.

Activities in the park wound up around 2:30 in the afternoon, after cutting of the cake, scheduled for 12:30 p.m., and a free swim, which was scheduled from 1 to 2:30 p.m.

Perfect summer weather followed Canada Day cel-ebrations through-out the day, which began again in the afternoon and evening, following a shift to the Grist Mill. Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer manned the barbeque during the afternoon, while visitors watched performances from the Cawston Play-ers, The Mootowns and the Heritage Players. Musicians at the mill included Rob Robertson, James Duperron, Skye Eriksen, Doug Vincent and Nata-sha Wiggelsworth.

Fifteen year old Jetson Gibbs is off to Sweden this week to partici-pate in the world’s largest soccer tournament.

The Cawston youth, who is also a student at Similkameen Elemen-tary Secondary School, left July 5 for Gothenberg, Sweden, where the Gothia Cup tournament be-gins July 13. Jetson regularly plays in the BC Soccer Premier League in Kamloops on the Thompson - Okanagan Football Club. He was invited to join a special team (the Thompson Valley Football Club) made up for the Gothia Cup..

There will be more than a few

competitors in Jetson’s age group in the tournament, as 189 teams are compete in his age group (U-16).

Jetson has been playing soc-cer ever since he began organiz-ing noon hour soccer games at Cawston Primary. He plays midfield, a few years ago winning Most Valuable Player while playing for the Penticton Pinnacles. He also played in the BC Games in 2012, and through that experience got to know several of this year’s fellow team mates.

This trip won’t be the first international one for Jetson, either. He played in Madrid, Spain, two years ago, participating in training sessions there.

FortisBC expects to have its Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project completed in all regions by the end of 2015.

The scheduled timeline for meter exchanges in the South Okanagan is from May 2015 to July 2015, and in the Similkameen and Boundary regions from August to October, 2015.

The meter exchange program will

begin in the Trail Salmo area in Au-gust of this year. The Kelowna area will follow, with the South Okana-gan (which includes Keremeos and Cawston, as well as Kaleden, Twin Lakes and Okanagan Falls) to fol-low next year.

Advanced Metering Infrastructure project will start in the Similkameen in 2015By Steve Arstad [email protected]

BEAUTIFUL NAILS AND A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN - YES, YOU CAN HAVE BOTH!

Every year at this time I see people who are saddened that they have destroyed their fingernails for the sake of their gardens, and they think it has to be this way. But it truly doesn’t, here is an easy plan to be able to have the best of both worlds.These tips will help if you have already ruined your nails or are about to launch into serious weeding or planting. The main objective is to keep nourishment in and water out.First of all and you know this, use gardening gloves, there are very good ones that will give you the ability to feel and pull out really small weeds.Next purchase a high quality cuticle cream, preferably one with lots of Shea butter, mango butter or hemp oil. Ideally it should be thick enough to not spill out of the jar, cuticle oil is good if you cannot find a rich cream. Keep this beside the bed where you can see it to remind you to put it on, until the habit is established (about three weeks) then you can put in a less obvious place but still handy to the bed. Use a small but adequate amount (don’t be stingy) and rub it into your cuticles and nails and you can go over dry nail polish or hardener. This should only take about five minutes and is best done at night just before you turn out the light, as then it will remain on the nails until morning.Have on hand a good nail file and use it at least twice a week for maintenance to keep the edges of your nails smooth and when a break-age occurs. If you have nails that are thin and peeling, a glass nail file will be your best option.Use a good quality nail hardener or base coat and a top coat. The base coat will keep out dirt and water out of your nails, a hardener will provide even more protection so that they will not break as easily either. The top coat will give a final seal to keep the nail edges protect-ed. Do this twice a week after a quick file and removing old base/hardener and top coats, this should take only ten minutes or so.Hint – store these items where they are convenient like a basket or a cupboard in the living room if you plan to do it while watching TV or close to the patio door if you will be outside enjoying a cup of tea or coffee.Have a professional manicure once in a while to address specific concerns and to learn if there is anything else that would help in your particular case. These little tips will give long lasting results if you make them a part of your routine.To make it easier here they are again in 3 easy steps:

• Use gardening gloves wherever possible• Apply a cuticle cream or oil every night at bed time• Apply a base or hardener depending on the condition of your nails and a top coat to seal the elements out twice a week (e.g.

Sunday and Wednesday)If you have fallen behind in good nail habits and you are heading out to the yard for some extensive work, here is what to do instead of sacrificing your finger nails. Quickly slap on a coat of top coat or base coat or whatever is handy and allow it to dry for five minutes before going and doing your worst in the garden. At least you will have protected them a bit and will minimize the damage; afterwards you can remove it and get back to your routine again.Follow this advice and you should find great improvement in the appearance of your nails and for years to come, you can be enjoying the beauty of both your plants and hands.This article is of the copyright of OK in Health and the author; any reproduction, duplication and transmission of the article are to have prior written approval by OK in Health or the authorThese articles are provided by OK In Health eMagazine.

LOW-DOSE A.S.A. - TALK TO YOUR DOCTORThere has been a lot written about low-dose A.S.A. (Aspirin®) lately. There is evidence it does help people who have had a heart attack but new research has shown it has minimal effect on those with no history of heart disease. A.S.A. is a drug with side effects. Don’t start on this drug without your doctor’s consent.

MOSQUITOS BUGGING YOU?Mosquitos can be a nuisance. Everyone has their favourite way of discouraging bites. B vitamins (B-1, B-12) don’t work. Wear light-coloured clothing and use insect repellants that contain DEET. Check with our pharmacists for advice.

MAKE SURE WATER IS SAFE TO DRINKWhen camping, be cautious drinking water from mountain streams and creeks. Two water-borne parasitic diseases, giardia and cryptosparidiosis are caused by parasites sometimes found in water in rural areas. To be safe, bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute (3 minutes at altitudes above 2000 meters).

MACULAR DEGENERATIONAge-related macular degeneration is an eye disease that can affect people above the age of 60 and can lead to retinal damage and blindness. There is evidence that eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids can signi� cantly lower the risk of this disease. Cold water � sh like sardines, anchovies, mackerel, herring and salmon are good sources. If you aren’t a � sh-eater, capsule supplements are available.Take charge of your own health. Let our pharmacists be part of your health team. We would be happy to be your pharmacist.

DID YOU KNOW?Ecoscaping is a growing trend among home-owners who want to take care of their lawns and landscapes but want to do so in a way that’s environmentally friendly. Integrating both landscape architecture and spatial plan-ning with environmental science, ecoscaping is meant to help homeowners create a sus-tainable and eco-friendly landscape design. It’s natural to assume that ecoscaping includes looking for ways to reduce reliance on chem-ical pesticides, but there are many additional ways homeowners can embrace ecoscaping. This includes removing or refusing to plant invasive plants that are difficult to control be-cause they are from different ecosystems and can threaten local wildlife and existing plants. Instead of choosing exotic plants that aren’t native to the area, choose native plants that are accustomed to the local climate. Anoth-er way to embrace ecoscaping is to develop a planting strategy wherein plants are plant-ed in beneficial growing conditions that can eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers and excessive watering.


news

RCMP media relations issued a press release out of Kelowna early July 3 regarding an accident that shut down High-way 3 for several hours Wednesday night, July 2.

Emergency crews dealt with a fiery, two-vehicle crash that occurred on July 2, at 4:53 p.m.

The Osoyoos RCMP responded to a collision between two transport trucks on Highway 3 near Spotted Lake lo-cated approximately nine kilometres west of Osoyoos. A transport truck impacted a loaded logging truck, igniting on impact. The fire spread to the logging truck and then to the surrounding

grassland, briefly threat-ening one residence. Lo-cal and forestry fire crews were able to extinguish the blaze before it could spread beyond control.

The transport truck driver, a 46-year-old Kelowna man, suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries and was taken by air ambu-lance to Kelowna Gener-al Hospital for treatment. No other injuries were reported.

Analysis of the scene continued into Thursday to determine the causal factors in the crash, but alcohol is not suspected.

The highway was closed for several hours as emergency crews miti-gated the fire and cleared the wreckage. Highway 3 has since reopened.

The Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire Department dealt with two grass fires during the last week of June and the first week of July.

Both fires were small and quickly contained, but Fire Chief Jordy Boss-cha warned residents of potentially high fire danger in the valley as the weather settles into a summer pattern.

“We answered a call to Upper Bench Road on Wednesday, July 2 for a grass fire,”Bosscha said, “ apparently started by a

ricochetting bullet from the Keremeos - Cawston Sportsmen’s Club.”

Bosscha said the fire department quickly contained the fire, which measured roughly 10 by 20 metres. The fire department also re-sponded to a wildfire just off Tenth Avenue, west of Boundary Road, on Sunday, June 20. That fire, believed to have been sparked by an abandoned campfire, measured roughly 10 by 10 metres.

Summer is here and throughout the riding there are many community events to enjoy. I will attend as many as possible over the coming months and want to thank all of you for your efforts to include me in your local celebrations.

The Legislature’s Spring Session was a busy one for all of us in Victoria. In addition to balancing the bud-get, more than two dozen pieces of legislation were debated and passed.

Some were minor housekeeping changes, some were complete rewrites of outdated legislation (liquor laws), and some were contro-versial (ALR Bill 24). As a government we can do nothing, keep our heads down and thereby not offend anyone – or we can work hard as we did and shoulder the responsibility.

My personal portfolios include chairing the Select Standing Committee on Health (for-mally chaired by Kelowna’s Norm Letnick), member of the Cabinet Committee on Secure Tomorrow, Deputy Whip, and –my newest challenge – Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Social Development and Social Innovation for Accessibility (not going to fit on a business card). All MLAs have extra commit-tees in addition to their constituency work.

In the past year many groups and organi-zations in the Boundary/Similkameen have received grants through lotteries, BC Arts Council and other government programs. These grants support the great volunteer work you do in your communities. Please let my office know if you are working on projects so that we can direct you to the best source of financial assistance.

At the beginning of my time as your MLA I made a list of priorities for each community in the riding, a wish list of things needing govern-ment attention. After a year there has been progress on a number of them, though much slower than I would have hoped.

Lakehill Road in Kaleden will have their safety concerns for pedestrians addressed; the people of Hedley will be able to take ownership of the Hedley Cemetery and give it the care and respect the pioneers deserve; and the Rock Creek area will have fire protection options they’ve never had before. Those are only a few of the local projects we have been working on this past year.

The process tends to be slower at the bu-reaucratic level as even the smallest change can have province wide implications as it may fix a problem in one area but can cause problems in other areas to surface.

Over the summer please safely enjoy our beautiful area. Drowning is an ever present danger, fire can be particularly devastating and highway traffic accidents too numerous as we all get out and active.

Of particular concern for the entire riding are the invasive quagga and zebra mussels. Stay vigilant, informed and help to protect our valu-able water systems.

Thank you for your support and patience while we set up temporary office space. Person-ally I’d like to thank Colleen and Patt in the Oliver office and Marissa in Victoria for carry-ing on with a smile through it all.

Have a great summer!

The Grist Mill concert series returns this month with a great line up of events - perfect en-tertainment after a hot summer day in the Similkameen.

This year’s series features:July 16 - 100 Mile HouseAn exceptional indie/folk

group from Edmonton who’ve won of tons of regional music awards for their beautiful har-monies, rich arrangements and

captivating lyrics.July 20 - Mae MooreA singer-songwriter from

the Gulf Islands with a string of Canadian top-20’s and several Juno nominations in the last two decades.

Aug 9 - Rakish AnglesA talented quartet from the

Sunshine Coast with fiddle, mandolin, upright bass and guitar. Everything old is new again.

Aug 15 - Jeff Warner

A true legend in American traditional music from New Hampshire that we’re lucky enough to snag before he goes to the Princeton Traditional Music Festival.

Aug 30 - ValdyA Canadian folk legend

with two Junos wins and seven more nominations, what else needs be said?

Sept 5 - Scott Cook and the Second Chances

Our favourite prairie ballad-eer is back for a second season after traveling the world, this time with his band.

More information on each artist is available on the Grist Mill website.

Again this year, the wineries of the Similkameen Wineries Association will be selling their wines by the glass and bottle at each show. Also, the Grist Mill’s Executive Chef, Natasha Shooten, will be preparing delicious picnic-style dinners beginning at 5:30 p.m. for each show, while doors open for non-dinner patrons at 6:30 p.m. and concerts start at 7 p.m.

Patrons are encouraged to bring their own blankets and

low-rise beach chairs; higher lawn chairs are also welcome, but they may be asked to sit in the back to avoid obstructing the view of others.

Tickets for all shows are available for sale at the Grist Mill front desk, on the website atwww.oldgristmill.ca or by phone at 250-499-2888 during business hours (daily 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.). Some tickets may also be available at the door for each show, depending on availabil-ity, but a small surcharge will apply.
