Megan Reichl gets a high � ve from Regional Superintendent Kevin Hewco at DARE grad ceremonies held at Similkameen Elementary Secondary School on March 12.

Similkameen Elementary’s grade 5 classes of 2014 celebrated their Drug Abuse Resis-tance Education graduation on Tuesday, March 12.

More than 40 students participated in the proceedings, which was also well attended by family members, local politicians and RCMP.

This year, a special note of appreciation was made to local auxiliary RCMP Troyce

Beglaw and Constable Pam Scheidl for their annual efforts and time put into the program.

Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer pre-sented Beglaw with a framed certificate in appreciation and acknowledgement of his work over several years in the DARE program.

Principal Cate Turner told the gathering DARE was about teaching students how to make good decision, using the program’s decision making model. She acknowledged the outstanding support of parents to the program.

Regional detachment commander, Su-

perintendent Kevin Hewco was also pres-ent for the cermony. He told the audience he always found it a pleasure to attend a DARE grad, noting this was the � rst one he had been able to attend since becoming regional commander.

Hewco said this year’s grads represented role models for younger children, thanking parents and care givers for their support of the program.

Several students read “letters to their future selves” outlining the strength of their commitment. The graduates then received their diplomas, which was followed by cel-ebratory cake.

The Review, Thursday, March 20, 2014 —

news

Zoey and Cadence Perei ra enjoy an afternoon stop at Memorial Park with their mother, Terri, on March 12. The three were enjoying some early spring weather in the village last week. Keremeos and the Lower Similkameen can expect temper-atures five or 10 degrees below last week’s springlike day-time highs, with a mix of sun, clouds and rain over the next week.


The province re-cently declared Bill 13, the Off Road Vehicle Act intro-duced in late Febru-ary would provide certainty, safety and regulatory structure for thousands of off-road enthusi-asts.

The proposed Off Road Vehicle - or ORV - Act replac-es the 40-year-old Motor Vehicle (All Terrain) Act with a modern manage-ment structure, de-signed to align with existing regulatory regimes at minimal cost.

Use of quads, snowmobiles and o ther ORVs has helped residents of the Simi lkameen get out and enjoy the beauty of the region’s backcoun-try, and it is hoped the legislation will help ensure these vehicles are driven in a safe and envi-

ronmentally respon-sible manner.

The act, if passed and brought into force, will:

- Establish a one-t ime registrat ion system specifically designed to inte-grate with the pre-existing structure of the Insurance Cor-poration of British Columbia’s vehicle registry, reducing i m p l e m e n t a t i o n costs. ORVs will have to be registered and display a clearly visible number plate before they can be operated on Crown or other public land.

- Allow the devel-opment of regula-tions on the rules of operation (such as wearing helmets), safe ty s tandards and conditions of use for a wide range of modern ORVs, including snowmo-biles, all-terrain ve-hicles or “quads”, dirt bikes and utility terrain vehicles.

- Assist in iden-t i fy ing stolen or

abandoned ORVs, by requiring ORVs to be registered in a database that is accessible to peace officers at all times.

- Provide officers with more effective enforcement tools to target the small number of irrespon-s i b l e O RV ow n -ers that endanger others or damage sensit ive habitat. This includes the ability to stop and inspect ORVs for violations, seize an ORV for safety or evidence purposes, and increase the maximum fine for offences from $500 to $5,000.

Included in the p r o p o s e d O RV leg i s lat ion i s an amendment to the Special Accounts Appropriation and Control Act estab-l i sh ing the ORV Trail Management Sub-account. This will ease the process of providing future investments directly into developing and

maintaining trails, delivering lasting benefits to the ORV tourism industry in rural communities.

T h e p ro p o s e d O RV A c t i s t h e re s u l t o f ex t e n -sive consultation, and represents a fa i r compromise for all user groups. Implementat ion , including registra-tion provisions, is anticipated in the fall of 2014. Er-nie Marven, owner o f S i m i l k a m e e n Agencies in Kere-meos, and a back country enthusiast himself, said that he was in favour of the upcoming legislation.

“People who use their ORVs respon-sibly don’t wish to be cast in the same s h a d ow a s m u d boggers and those w h o a b u s e t h e privilege,” Marvin said. “There is no enforcement now, so it would be good if the funding went towards more en-

forcement.” Marvin said off

road vehicle own-ers should expect to pay around $48 dollars to register their vehicle, but added there may be an unexpected cost for some, not ing tax impl i cat ions exist for those who own pre-owned ve-hicles.

“There wi l l be sales tax to pay on vehicles purchased used,” he said, add-ing the registration of such equipment might aid the police in recovery of stolen off road vehicles.

Quick Facts- An estimated

200,000 ORVs are used in the province.

- Snowmobiles have been registered in British Columbia since the 1970s.

- British Colum-bia is currently one of the last provinces in Canada that does not require registra-t ion of o ff - road vehicles.

EditorialMore consultation needed

for recycling program Changes in the provincial recycling program,

through the introduction of Multi Materials BC, slated to take place May 19, faced new opposi-tion last week.

Rethink ItBC, a coaltion formed by BC business is protesting the regulatory changes proposed by the MMBC program. They want the legislation delayed until more discussion can take place between business and government over the proposed changes.

The issue is a complex one that the province appears to have tried to resolve in too short a time frame.

We think the program is too ambitious, trying to bring too many industries under the MMBC regulation without enough consideration for what might work best for the specific industry.

Take this newspaper office, in the Village of Keremeos, for example.

There is currently no curbside program for industrial or commercial recyclables in the regional district, or in the Village of Kermeos. Most of the recyclable material produced and distributed by this office finds its way to resi-dents’ recycle bins, or possibly as firestarter for those using wood heat.

A substantial amount of recyclable material, however, collects in the office over the course of a year, however - and with no program to collect it, it would be sent to the landfill if it weren’t to the environmental efforts of staff to ensure the waste is recycled.

We wonder why a program, whose goal is to recycle an additional 25 per cent of printed paper and packaging materials would continue to ignore recycling in the commercial and in-dustrial sector as part of a curbside program.

It seems to us that these sectors are areas ripe for development of a recycling program, one that should augment the MMBC’s goals.

Failure to consider it is perhaps another rea-son to suspend the program for further review.

Of the thousands of comments the B.C. government received during its three-month consul tat ion on in -creasing opportunities for disabled people, one of the last ones sums up the difficulty faced by job seekers.

“ I ’ m q u i t e c ap a -ble of working, and what holds me back is the discrimination of employers within the community,” wrote M i c h a e l f r o m t h e Thompson Okanagan on the government’s consultation website.

L i ke m a ny o t h e r participants, Michael said his $906-a-month disability benefit isn’t e n o u g h t o l i ve o n . WorkBC, the prov -ince’s agency for job seekers, puts its em-phasis on helping ap-pl icants prepare for job interviews, rather

than convincing em-ployers to give them a chance.

I n h e r c o m m e n t , Lisa agreed, not ing that employers and co-workers may see ac-commodation as “spe-cial treatment” for dis-abled people like her.

That’s where Wynne Powell comes in. The recently retired CEO of London Drugs is co-chair of the “presi-dents group” appoint-ed by the B.C. govern-ment to reach out to employers.

Powell said his store chain has hired many disabled people, and he became accustomed to seeing sign-language interpreters and other ass i s ts at corporate events.

“ T h e y m ay h av e challenges in certain areas, but I can tell you as an employer, they are the most loya l , hard-working, caring people, and they help build your trust with

the publ i c ,” Powe l l said.

Don McRae, B.C.’s minister of social de-velopment and social innovation, has been instructed by Premier Christy Clark to make B.C. “the most pro-gressive place in Can-ada for people with disabilities.” He knows disabled people have heard the rhetoric be-fore.

“Some people ex-pressed exhaustion,” McRae said. “Some don’t have the ne t -works of support that can make a posit ive difference. Some are excluded from oppor-tun i t i e s they want , they need and they deserve.”

The province-wide consultation has cre-ated expectations that McRae has to deliver improvements as the ministry prepares for a policy conference in June.

Speaking at an event

at the B.C. legislature to mark the end of the consultation tour, Powell agreed.

“I know minister, this consultation is a step in the right di-rection,” Powell said. “But words have to be backed up by action, a n d I k n ow yo u ’re committed to that.”

Sean Donovan and his wife Sta-cey are selling off their stock and closing shop after two years in vil-lage’s downtown business section.

The two are proprietors of Kere-meos Toonie, located on the corner of Seventh Avenue and Seventh Street at the building formerly housing Keremeos Hardware.

The Donovans took over the hardware store in 2011 and over the course of the last three years changed the stock in response

to local consumer’s desires. The change to dollar store items last year helped sales, Sean said, but unfortunately sales volumes weren’t enough to make the business sus-tainable.

“If you worked out the average (hourly wage), winter to summer, it worked out to about three dollars an hour,” Sean said.

Asked if he had any advice for potential entrepreneurs in Kere-meos, Sean said, “It’s a difficult

community to sell to. People need to buy things, but not in quantity enough to keep a business going.”

The Donovans are currently selling off their remaining stock, and the business will close when the sale ends. Sean has applied to Okanagan College to take a chef ’s program, hoping to build on a for-mer career.

The Donovans plan to remain in the community with their four children.

The Keremeos Youth Ambas-sador Program officially launched last week with the introduction of the three candidates vying for the title of the village’s first Ambassador.

Jamie Forner has embraced the Keremeos Ambassador Program because she wanted to be more involved in the community.

“My grandpar-ents have always played a big role in the community and its something I would like to involve myself in,” Jamie said.

The 16 year old Similkameen Elementary Secondary School stu-dent has lived in Keremeos all her

life. In addition to school activi-ties, Jamie enjoys he new kick-boxing classes at the recently opened Main Event Boxing and Mixed and Maritial Arts Studio.

Jamie is looking forward to the opportunity to participate in the Ambassa-dor program.

Selena Nug-teren wanted to

participate in the Am-bassador program in order

to engage more fully in the

community. She is looking forward to the opportunity it presents her to represent the vil-

lage, as well. Selena, 14, has also

been a resident of Kere-meos all her life. She cur-rently enjoys her studies at

Similkameen Elementary Secondary School.

TéaHartfield is also a candidated par-ticipating in the pro-gram in order to do

something for the community. She hopes the experience will

build her interview skills, in addi-tion to speaking in public. She keeps busy with school work and also volunteers with the Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire Department.

Selection of the 2014 Keremeos Ambassador will take place

during the weekend of May 10-11, the weekend prior to Victoria Day and the Keremeos Rodeo.

The Review, Thursday, March 20, 2014 — news

Increasing concerns sur-rounding aspects of the Multi-Material BC (MMBC) pro-gram is resulting in a growing protest against the implemen-tation of the plan on May 19.

RethinkItBC, an advertis-ing campaign launched by small business stakeholders in B.C. last week, wants to stop the province in its tracks, and delay the May 19 implemen-tation of the legislation until more thorough consultation of small business can be un-dertaken.

The stakeholders include members of the agriculture, landscaping and nursery in-dustry, newspaper and the recycling industry.

Concerns are growing that MMBC will come to mo-nopolize the recycling industry in the province, sacrificing an industry that has been doing well without them. There are also concerns that MMBC is governed by a board of eastern big business interests, which won’t necessarily be compat-ible with those of the B.C. consumer.

As recently as October, 2013, a Canadian Federation of Independent Business sur-vey asked small business own-ers if they understood their obligations with respect to new paper and packaging waste disposal regulations. Seventy-three per cent responded they knew little or nothing about MMBC’s program.

Mike Klassen, Canadian Federation of Independent Business Director of Provin-cial Affairs for B.C. said the MMBC plan was approved prior to the last provincial election, and slipped under the radar of most of the prov-ince’s small business during the campaign.

“Last summer, thousands of small business owners in B.C. suddenly received a letter from MMBC requesting them to register or face the prospect of a $200,000 fine,” Klassen said.

“That’s when we began receiving calls from B.C. busi-ness., and that’s when we be-gan to get involved.”

Klassen said the pro-gram is not designed for small business, nor was enough consultation done. “The observations of people I

have talked to say the program is predicated on fine revenues, and as a business model is not sustainable,” Klassen said.

Under the MMBC plan, business and collection agen-cies would be subject to heavy fines for such things as con-tamination of recycle loads. (Contaminated loads con-taining more than three per cent by weight of non printed paper or packaged material, for example, would incite fines of up to $5,000 per weigh-scale ticketed load).

Business late fees would be subject to four per cent plus prime penalties.

Regional districts and local governments have been forced to jump on board, because no alternatives exist to the MMBC plan.

“Business doesn’t have to sign up to the MMBC plan, but under legislation they are still required to collect back 75 per cent of the recycleable ma-terial they sell, and the option for business to create their own stewardship plan would be too costly,” Klassen explained.

Klassen also noted MMBC would essentially be driven by retail interests originating in Ontario, with few tools by which the government could hold them accountable.

“It’s a supreme kick in the teeth for business,” Klassen said, “bad public policy can have unforseen consequences. Is the plan sustainable? We’re not sure it is - and predictions are it’s going to cost 80 to 100 million dollars just to set up and run.”

Questions regarding a lack of consultation and design flaws of the program with respect to small business were put to Ministry of Environ-ment Communications Officer Suntanu Dalal by Review the earlier this week. He referred to a press release issued by the MOE on February 4, 2014. The news release described a number of initia-tives imple-mented by the province to exempt all but roughly 3,000 busi-nesses in B.C. from t h e p ro -gram.

The press release de-scribed new regulations, t h r o u g h which gov-e r n m e n t would ex-empt busi-nesses:

- under one million dollars in annual revenues.

- those producing less than one tonne of packaging or printed paper supplied to B.C. residents annually.

- businesses operating as a single point of retail sale not supplied by or operated as part of a franchise, chain or banner.

Q u e s t i o n e d ab o u t MMBC’s board makeup, Allen Langdon, Managing Director for MMBC told the Review, “MMBC’s board is comprised of companies that are paying members of our organization. The board is currently in the process of be-ing expanded to 15 with that process to be complete by June.

“Like today, this board will be representative of companies with operations in B.C. that are paying into the program and will be representative of differ-ent sectors and geographies.”

With respect to MMBC’s business model, Langdon said in an email MMBC’s program plan is financed by fees paid by producers based on the amount of packaging and printed paper they supply to the residential marketplace.

“Programs like MMBC’s have been in existence for over 10 years in jurisdictions such as Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba, so we are confident that the model of producer responsibility has been proven to work during this time,” Langdon said in an email.

Cameron Baughen, Solid Waste Management Coordi-nator for the Regional Dis-trict Okanagan Similkameen, said the incentives offered by MMBC for curbside collec-tion in the regional district ended up being higher than expected, at roughly $40 per 12 month period per home in all areas serviced.

“There were no negotia-tions. Every local government providing the service was of-fered the same incentives with

some modifications based on geographic area served,” Baughen explained.

The regional district’s con-tract term with MMBC is for five years but the RDOS can remove themselves from the contract with six months notice.

“We will be able to adjust the number of homes as they are built or demolished every three months. The $40 fee will not change, only the number of homes serviced over the contract,” Baughen added.

The regional district’s pres-ent contract with BFI Canada - for curbside residential col-lection - expires July 2016. Baughen said they will revisit the MMBC contract in the summer of 2015 to see whether they wish to continue the MMBC contract, or require MMBC to provide recycling collection services to regional district residents.

When the MMBC pro-gram is implemented on May 19, the entire province will have the same materials collected. In the regional district, plastic bags, styrofoam and glass will be brought to depots, located at local landfills and some bottle depots.

At the curbside, plastic bags such as grocery bags will be removed, but new items such as clean and dry paper cups, tetrapaks, frozen juice con-centrate containers and milk cartons will be added.

The regional district will be sending out more informa-tion closer to the date in order to reduce confusion over the start date for recycling of the new items.

Curbside collection fee changes for the 2014 budget reflect financial factors be-

yond the implementation of MMBC, said Cameron Baughen, Solid Waste Coordi-nator for the regional distric. Curbside

collection costs appear to be on their way down for the next two budgets at least.

Keremeos RCMP Constable Pam Scheidl spent some time with Cawston Primary’s Kindergarten and Grade 1 classes on March 13.

The visit was part of an ongo-ing program that works in con-junction with the DARE program to connect with school kids and provide instruction on living safe, respectful lives.

Scheidl’s visit last Thursday was also aimed at introducing the students to the work handled by police. Scheidl gave Mrs. Church’s class a tour of her police cruiser,

much to the delight of the � ve and six year old students.

They piled into the back seat and took turns operating the cruiser’s emergency siren. Student curiosity was rampant when Scheidl opened the trunk to reveal other equipment used in the course of her duties.

One student noted that his video game provided him the op-portunity to use spike belts like Scheidl’s, only his were called “spike straps.”

Scheidl made a video presenta-tion to the grade 3 class following her orientation with the younger students. Elodie Pender and Livia Antler enjoy the opportunity to operate the siren on Constable Pam Schieldl’s

cruiser during an orientation visit to Cawston Primary last week.

The BC Government is proposing to offl oad the province’s world-class recycling programs, run by local municipalities, to an association led by big multi-national corporations. The idea is that we’ll get a better, more effi cient program that costs taxpayers less.

Unfortunately, what we’ll really end up with is anyone’s guess.

The association isn’t guaranteeing that we’ll get a better program, or even one as good as the current Blue Box program already in place. Since the association is led by big businesses outside of BC, many of whom are not even headquartered in Canada, one could presume that profi ts will come before environmental stewardship. They usually do. They also won’t guarantee that there won’t be any job cuts here in BC.

And how is this supposed to make things better for BC?

Currently, BC homeowners only pay, on average, $35 a year for curbside recycling. Under the proposed regime, you’ll pay more. Every time you bring home a pizza, buy toilet paper,

or pretty much anything else that comes in a package, businesses will be passing their increased costs on to you.

How much more? Well, nobody’s saying.

Here’s the only thing anyone does know: we already have a Blue Box program that works, is effi cient, managed locally and puts the BC environment fi rst. So why is the BC government fl ipping a coin, bringing in a questionable recycling program that some of our local elected offi cials are already calling a “scam?”

It’s time to contact Premier Clark and ask her.

What’s going on here?

The status of the regional district’s climate action plan was discussed at the February 20 regional district planning and development committee meeting.

The regional district has focussed on reducing greenhouse gas emis-sions, mostly through its corporate climate action plan, since implemen-tation of the BC Climate Action Charter in 2007.

Vehicles account for 22 per cent of RDOS emissions, while buildings ac-count for 78 per cent. Ongoing activi-ties of the regional district includes implementing recommendations of a “walk through audit” of the RDOS main office, in addition to analyzing the regional district’s historic energy use in order to assist in the priority of energy audits for other RDOS facili-ties.

Energy audits of 40 RDOS fa-cilities in the region are also nearly complete. The RDOS has also been working with its contractors to miti-gate carbon emissions.

Climate Action Advisor Zoe Kirk told the board that although the province’s carbon offset purchasing strategy was currently in disarray, carbon offsets “were not going away.”

Gas tax funding amounting to ap-proximately $90,000 had been applied to the implementation of the regional district’s corporate climate action plan to date, but that funding is com-ing to an end with no new funds in sight, she reported to the committee.

The regional district has been receiving grants from the province’s Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program (CARIP) for annual report-ing of energy use, totalling $30,000, since 2008. A reserve fund was set up in 2013 to accumulate further grants from the program, to be applied to future carbon offset opportunities.

Under the terms of the climate ac-tion charter, the regional district was expected to reach carbon neutrality by 2012, or face the prospect of pay-ing carbon offsets. To date, the RDOS is not carbon neutral nor has it been requested to make payments - yet.

Anne Hargrave, RDOS Planning Technician, noted the province’s climate action plan was undergoing “quiet scrutiny” right now, working potentially towards a clearer and simpler set of rules surrounding the purchase of carbon offsets. She noted certain aspects of the program did not support small governments.

“We feel the province is looking to be supportive,” she said, adding that the current opportunities to purchase carbon offsets were not beneficial to

regional district interests.“A number of local projects involve

large capital and certification ex-penses,” she said, “at this point we’re unsure where to go with this.”

Hargrave said small governments would like to see their car-bon offset payments go towards local, afford-able benefits.

The regional district will continue to report their annual emissions, accounting for carbon reduction initiatives and “doing what we can corporately.” Money will continue to be set aside for future carbon reducing intia-tives.

Several directors saw the problem as a leadership issue with the province, with Area “D” Director Tom Sid-don noting that munici-palities are hamstrung in their efforts to move forward on the climate action program.West-bench Director Michael Brydon also added the regional district “needs to see some leadership” on the issue.

During budget discussions, the board voted in favour of provid-ing an additional $15,655 in climate action funding, in order for work to continue administratively on carbon reduction initiatives.

DON’T LET SLEEP SLIP AWAY

Sleep is a determinant in health, especially in today’s stressful lifestyle. Many practitioners believe that all dis-eases stem from one type of stress or another. Physical stresses can be just as devastating as emotional and when the two are combined it is not surprising that people have difficulty in sleeping. The body is so agitated that it will not slow down and relax enough to allow sleep to arrive…or at least, remain for very long.Once we determine that stress is playing at least a part in our sleeplessness, we can decide which route to take to help alleviate it.Often, people come to me, asking for melatonin. While it can be very beneficial for some people, it is definitely not the sub-stance of choice for others. I’ll explain.Since hormones such as melatonin are so easily thrown off balance, I generally do not suggest taking some to encourage sleep. Besides, if it is not melatonin that one lacks, then taking it orally will not show much improvement – if any. We need to first look at lifestyle and stress levels before jumping the proverbial gun. Once we have better dealt with the stresses of the day, we are usually better able to relax enough to drift off to sleep…and remain asleep until morning.Adrenal fatigue usually sets in with an abundance of stresses and needs to be addressed before the person can expect a good, sound sleep. What helps to nourish the adrenals? I knew you’d ask. Specifically, Vitamin B-5 (a.k.a. Pantothenic acid) is highly beneficial in reducing adrenal fatigue, as are Siberian Ginseng, Licorice and the B-Complex Vitamins. They all help to better nourish the adrenal glands (little guys that sit atop the kidneys).One way to determine whether the adrenals are fatigued (aside from a lack of sleep) is to see if a person jumps – literally – and is instantly startled whenever there is a sudden, loud noise. Awakening each morning, feeling as though sleep never took place is yet another way to determine the adrenals require a little…shall we say encouragement.When the hormonal balance is considerably off, as is the case with teens and those going through other life changes, sleep tends to stay far away and remains very elusive. Those tiny little hormones can throw most everything off-kilter, including moods, weight, sleep, etc.So, you have determined that your life has become filled with various stresses yet don’t know where to begin to tone them down or where you should even begin. I suggest – first and foremost – that you consider taking the B-Vitamins. A word of caution, however: Whenever B-Vitamins are taken, it is strongly advised that this be done with food. Taking the B-Vitamins on an empty stomach can be physically upsetting, even produc-ing nausea. (This could tend to make matters even worse, especially if you are already feeling stressed.) The B-Vitamins are helpful when it comes to metabolizing our foods as well, so for that reason alone, it is a good idea to consume them with meals.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.

COLDS AND IMMUNITYDid you know that 40% of the time we don’t get the colds we are exposed to? We do have a bit of immunity to these viruses. When we do get a cold, it turns up our immune system and makes it stronger to fend off a future cold.

POISON AWARENESSThis is the time of year we focus on poison awareness in the home. With our aging population, more people are taking � ve or more medications. This is one of the reasons why the incidence of child poisoning is going up. Store your medications in a place where curious children can’t reach them.

GETTING ENOUGH FIBRE?Evidently, we Canadians don’t eat enough � bre. Because adequate � bre has positive effects on heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer, it’s important to get enough. Men aged 19 - 50 need 38 grams per day. Older men need at least 30 grams. Women aged 19 - 50 need at least 25 grams per day while older women need at least 21 grams. Read those food labels to see how much you are getting.

DRY MOUTHWe make from 750 ml to 1500 ml of saliva each day. You really wonder how we can ever have a dry mouth. Dry mouth can be caused by some medications. In fact, dry mouth (medically called “xerostomia”) is one of the more common side effects of medications. If this is a problem for you, check with our pharmacists. We may be able to help alleviate the situation for you.

All drugs have side effects but the user does not experience most of them. If it’s important to your quality of life, we’ll tell you about it. It’s one of our roles as your professional pharmacist.

Kobau Park in Cawston will once again be home to competitive baseball for young Similkameen ball players.

A group of local coaches have been working towards forming minor baseball teams to join the Penticton Minor Baseball League.

“We have put our entry into the Penticton Minor Baseball Executive and they have been very recep-tive to us fielding teams to join their spring league.”

said Team Manager Marc LePage. “We will have two teams made up of local kids

so that we can practice at Kobau Park in Cawston, but play games in Penticton against other teams in that league. Of course we would host games here too!”

There will be one Mosquito division team and one Pee Wee Division team.

Coaches are looking for kids to register now as the deadline for joining the Penticton Minor Base-ball League is March 28.

Any player born in 2001/2002 (Peewee) or 2003/2004 (Mosquito) are invited to join. There are only a few spots remaining on each team so parents are being asked to register their kids as soon as possible to ensure a spot on the team.

There is opportunity for financial help to cover registration and equipment if needed.

For more information on the Similkameen spring baseball teams call Marc Lepage at (250) - 499 - 4235.

SCHNEIDERLEO ALBERT

February 25, 1932 - March 6, 2014:On Thursday March 6th, 2014, Mr. Leo Albert Schneider of Osoyoos passed away at the South Okanagan General

Hospital after a short battle with cancer at the age of 82 years.He was predeceased by his parents David and Hilda Schneider of Keremeos; sisters Idella (Robert) Spoonemore and Margaret Bauer; sister-in-law Noreen Schneider and brother-in-law Michael Ferko.Leo will be fondly remembered by his loving family including wife Ilona (nee Anderson) of 41 years; children David (Maggie) of Calgary; Leonie Lawrence (Gordon) of Campbell River; Mark (Shara Lee) of Lethbridge; step-son Wayne Gardener (Nancy) of Mount Vernon, WA; and all of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Leo’s is survived by siblings Wilmer Schneider of Keremeos; Betty Schwager (Ken) of Penticton; Gordon Schneider of Granisle; Shirley (Jim) Lea of New Westminster; Violet Ferko of West Kelowna; Jean Byer (Jim) of Cawston; Clarence Schneider (Sharon) of Cawston and Kenny Schneider (Gwen) of Grand Forks as well as Brother-in-law Gordon Bauer of West Kelowna and the many nieces and nephews.Leo worked in various mines in the Similkameen, Merritt and Northern parts of BC for seventeen years before joining Interior Contracting in Penticton as a pipe layer and driller. He and wife Ilona then farmed for twenty years in Falkland, raising cattle and growing hay. In the latter twelve years, they built and operated a Broiler Chicken farm. After the sale of the broiler farm in 1993, Leo and Ilona retired and enjoyed travelling with his siblings and nephews to Reno and places for a little fun and relaxation. He also had time to go shing and hunting for the elusive moose with the family “guys”. He was a great lover of nature and felt his spiritual beliefs revolved around nature.For one term, he was the Falkland area representative for the Salmon Arm-Shuswap Regional District and a member/grower of the Interior Broiler (chickens) Association.Curling was a hobby in which he engaged, helping his Falkland Men’s Team win a number of local trophies. Later he played in the Seniors Fun League in Penticton. Leo and Ilona recently relocated to Osoyoos, ever moving southward since retirement.He was a quiet, sensitive, caring individual who was well loved by his family and respected by many friends.Donations are gratefully accepted to the Canadian Cancer Society for continued research in prostate and bone cancer or to a charity of choice.Thank you to Drs. Crofts, and Entwistle and in particular the staff at South Okanagan General Hospital for their attentive and empathetic care of Leo.A graveside service will be held at 1:00 P.M. Saturday March 29, 2014 at the Keremeos Cemetery followed by a memorial service at 2:00 P.M. at the Cawston Hall.Condolences may be directed to Ilona. Tributes may be directed to the family by visiting www.nunes-pottinger.comArrangements entrusted to Nunes-Pottinger Funeral Service & Crematorium, Oliver & Osoyoos.

JONESDIANNE

(nee Westre):Our beloved wife and mother passed away suddenly at

Penticton Regional Hospital on March 12, 2014 at the age of 66. Dianne was born on Feb. 27, 1948 in Calgary and came to the Similkameen Valley in 1973. She was known for her quick wit, straight talk and her huge, loving heart. Dianne was an energetic woman who started her career as an early childhood educa-tor. After her marriage to Harry, she be-came his partner at Iceberg Meats and nally in her “retirement” she built her

dream home and ran a successful bed and breakfast where she met many new friends. Dianne is survived by her ador-ing husband, Harry, and her children, Erin, Lonn and daughter in law, Tara. She will be deeply missed by her grand-daughters, Sage, Mieke, Elliot, Deanna; and great granddaughter, Amayah, as well as her cherished dogs, Emma, Bent-ley and Sarah. Dianne was predeceased by her brother, Greig, whom she loved dearly. The family would like to thank the staff at Penticton Regional Hospital for their care and compassion. If friends so desire memorial donations may be made to their local SPCA. Condolences may be shared by visiting
