The Similkameen Sparks senior boys basketball team were crowned Okanagan Valley Champions on Saturday night when

they defeated Immac-ulata from Kelowna 73-60.

The game was played before a stand-ing room only packed house at the Similka-meen Secondary

Gym. The Valley Cham-

pionship tournament began on Thursday afternoon with eight schools participat-ing. Besides Similka-meen and Immcu-

lata, schools from St. Ann’s (Kamloops), Barriere, Chase, Os-oyoos, Lumby and Sicamous played. Our local heroes had rela-tively easy wins over Barriere and Chase

on the Thursday and Friday before a clas-sic matchup with Im-maculata on Saturday.

The boys were down by seven at the half before battling back in the second

half, led by some out-standing play from their seniors Skye Ter-basket, Jaskaran Lid-her, David Ruocco, Josh Vissia and next years returners Jesse Vissia, Brandon Hol-

ley and Braydon Klip-penstein.

The boys are now off to the Provincial Tournament March 6-10 at the University of the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford.

“Don’t forget to say over,” South Okanagan - Similkameen students instructed as they pose questions about life in space with astronaut Chris Had� eld

Five hundred of the region’s elementary school stu-dents had an experience that was out of this world on Friday, February 22 at Uplands School in Penticton.

Two grade six classes from Similkameen Elementary Secondary School attended an assembly in which 20 students asked orbiting Canadian astronaut Chris Had-� eld questions about life in space. Two students from Keremeos, Naomi Antler and Missy Vesper, were among those whose questions were put forward to the astronaut.

The outer space contact came about as part of the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program, a volunteer initiative aimed at in-spiring students worldwide to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math through amateur radio communications opportunities.

Members of the local ham (amateur) radio fraternity were on hand to explain the part their hobby played in the event. Orin Beebe, a resident of Upper Bench Road, Keremeos, has been a ham radio operator since his 15th birthday.

“I was once the youngest person in Canada ever to have a ham radio license, and if I live long enough, I’ll be the oldest,” Beebe laughed, describing his experiences with amateur radio to be some of the most rewarding in his life.

Penticton amatuer radio operator Allan Stark noted that there are 200 amateur operators in the region, and 500 Okanagan valley wide.

“Amateur radio operators are often the only com-munication available after a major natural disaster,” he said, adding that ham operators can listen to Interna-tional Space Station communications when tuned to their frequency - 145.800 - whenever astronauts operate the amateur radio on board the space station.

Amateur radio played an integral part in the event.

A phone patch from Uplands School was set up with an amateur radio operator in northwest Italy, who used his ham radio setup to communicate with the International Space Station. Had� eld was travelling 350 kilometres overhead, at 23,000 kilometres per hour, leaving a roughly ten minute window for communication between Uplands and the ISS.

Anticipation was palpable amongst the 500 plus stu-dents, media, local politicians, reserves, emergency service staff, and parents crammed into the school gymnasium as Had� eld approached the radio transmission zone of the Italian ham operator. At � rst faint and garbled, the transmission grew distinct as Had� eld travelled overhead.

The students had time to answer 20 of 23 pre-written questions. Had� eld was able to tell them the most beauti-ful spot on the planet as seen from space - “I’d like to tell you Penticton, but I think the Bahamas, with their coral reefs, are the most beautiful,” he answered.

Students also asked about playing the guitar - “it sounds the same as on Earth, but more dif� cult to play because of the weightlessness” - about failing - “I’ve made small mistakes, but through hard work I’ve avoided making big ones.”

The students had several other interesting topics that Had� eld was able to educate them on be-fore his signal began to fade. Ital-ian ham radio operator Claudio Ariottli provided the Italian link for the conversation, while Brian Edge provided coordination for the effort in Penticton. Italy was selected because of its proximity to the ISS to Earth in its orbit at 11:36 local time (19:36 UTC).

The International Space Sta-tion can be currently be seen in the Similkameen sky at 6:04 p.m., appearing in the southwest sky and moving in an east- north east direction.

The February 18 regular meet-ing of council began with the presentation of a Queen Eliza-beth II Diamond Jubilee medal to Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer.

Bauer was presented with the medal on behalf of the Federa-tion of Canadian Municipalities, who awarded 1,200 of these med-als to current heads of councils of municipalities who have been members of FCM for five years or more. The medal is presented to the head of council in rec-ognition of the important role that local governments and their elected officials play in ensuring prosperity and quality of life in their municipality.

Interior Health’s Lori Mot-luk, Interior Health Acute Care Director for the South Okana-gan, addressed council in an informational session regarding current IHA initiatives.

She also discussed the chal-lenges that lie ahead for the IHA as the population in the South Okanagan - Similkameen con-tinues to age, noting predicted increases in chronic conditions, mental illness, cancer, and frail in care patients. The health min-istry’s strategy is moving towards pro-active care in a shift from reactive care. Emphasis in the future will be geared towards patients remaining in their homes while convalescing, noting that studies have shown that patients recover more quickly and with fewer complications than when in hospital. Motluk also mentioned the 282 million dollar patient care tower at Penticton Regional Hospital as being number one on IH’s capital planning list.

Betty Brown, Community Health Facilitator for Interior Health, also spoke to council as part of her request to have Keremeos join in the Okangan Similkameen Healthy Living Coalition. Brown delivered a presentation similar to one given to the regional district board in November last year.

The Healthy Living Coalition has formed a society as a five year project to address healthy living as a regional collaborative. It

is hoped that through its status as a society it will be able to at-tract external grants from senior governments and foundations to fund its work.

Brown noted that although Mayor Bauer was the first mayor to respond with interest in join-ing the coalition, she was speak-ing to council as one of the last regional communities to agree to participate, as schedules had not allowed her an earlier opportu-nity to address council.

Brown’s request to council was:

- partner with Interior Health to increase actions that will im-prove the health of the commu-nity by reducing chronic disease and obesity.

- join the Okanagan - Similka-meen Healthy Living Coalition to create local and regional strate-gies to improve health as a means of implementing the partnership. Council agreed to partner with Interior Health in the initiative.

Council received the final re-port on the Tap by Tap program. The village office distributed 235 water and energy saving kits to Keremeos residents between May and December last year.

Healthy living returned to the agenda once again with a let-ter from the Regional District Okanagan - Similkameen encour-aging the village to enter into a letter of understanding with the Okanagan Similkameen Healthy Living Society. The letter was received for information.

Council also dealt with budget details. Apparently, things were slow in the village last year as council heard details of the bud-get variance report, which noted the following highlights:

- General tax revenues ended the year slightly below budget by $1,900.

- Cemetery, development and hall rentals have all been below budget for the year, but sale of equipment that was not budgeted resulted in this group of accounts ending the year above budget by $21,000. Development cost charges (DCC’s) generated no revenue last year.

- Legal costs related to the Info Centre resulted in an over budget of $9,500. Overall general gov-

The Review, Thursday, February 28, 2013 —

news

Keremeos firefight-ers, RCMP and BC Ambulance tend-ed to an elderly gentleman from Kyalami Place at the D and T Centre. According to eye-witnesses, strong winds blew his scooter over in the parking lot on Fri-day, February 22.The man suffered a large contusion to his forehead along with leg and shoul-der injuries. He was transported to the D and T Centre for treatment.


Lisa Scott, Coordinator of the Okanagan and Similkameen Invasive Species Society, addressed the regional board about a new threat to the region’s lakes at the regular board meeting on February 21.

Scott told the board that her society - formerly spreading the word about invasive plants - was recently rebranded to include invasive water species.

Although her presentation was mostly about potential marine threats to the local environment, she was quick to point out that regional district fund-ing for her society would continue to be directed towards invasive plant species.

Using last summer’s snakehead fish incident in Burnaby to illustrate the increasing awareness of the issue, Scott noted the potential for huge costs should the Okanagan be invaded by an invasive aquatic species.

Last year, Schuswap Lake dodged a bullet when a boat from Arizona was discovered with zebra mussels attached to it.

“They believe the mussels were all dead,” she said, “and everyone is hope-ful nothing alive got into the lake.”

Zebra and Quagga mussels, im-ported to the Great Lakes in the bal-last of European ships, have spread

throughout eastern North America. They have also been found in a few western states. They produce very sharp shells, eat the food of native species, and collect around man made items like water intakes, eventually plugging them up. Scott noted that the region’s lakes have all the right conditions for survival - leaning towards high alkalinity and therefore promoting shell growth - and not a lot is being done in B.C. at present to mitigate their arrival in our waters.

Scott detailed the State of Idaho’s efforts to keep the species out of their state. Idaho has a mandatory inspection of all boats in a self funded, $875,000 program. In 2012, 57 mussel fouled boats were discovered, five of which were ultimately destined for B.C., and three for Alberta. The program also conducted a survey that made a star-tling discovery: boaters launching into an Idahoan lake came from just about every state of the union.

“People travel vast distances with their boats,” Scott said.

So far, Okanagan-Similkameen efforts have involved the hiring of a “aquatic student” for 13 weeks at $5,000 under contract with the Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB). A hired student worked in provincial camp-grounds from Osoyoos to Vernon attempting to educate the public in a “clean, drain, dry” program to boaters. Provincially, recent legislative changes in B.C. has resulted in the prohibition of high risk species, with fines up to $250,000 for introducing an invasive species and $100,000 fines for not clean-

ing boats prior to placing them in local lakes. Scott noted that the legislation was similar to laws in effect in neigh-bouring states and Alberta.

West Bench Director Brydon ques-tioned why the OBWB, who had a milfoil program in place, wouldn’t be taking on the task of invasive species prevention, while Area “C” Director Allan Patton noted that, based on expe-rience with land based invasive species, it was “hopeless” to expect that it could be stopped.

“We’re going to need a biological species to fight it in the long run,” he said.

Area “D” Director Tom Siddon expressed the need to raise the level of public awareness, reasoning that customs inspectors could help identify contaminated watercraft. He wondered if the country’s winter conditions of-fered a mitigating factor, noting at the same time the amount of invasive aquatic species in the eastern part of the country, which had colder winter than the regional district.

Osoyoos Director Stu Wells reiter-ated the potential for huge costs in controlling and maintaining waterways should these species take hold. He advocated an invasive species permit for all boaters, as well as a resolution to be brought forward to the Southern Interior Local Government Association (SILGA) convention.

“Idaho’s got it right,” commented Penticton Director Gary Litke in con-clusion, “why do we need to invent the wheel? There’s a lot of urgency to this.”

EditorialJournalists should know better

The latest scandal to rock the Upper House - Canada’s Senate - over several senators im-properly collecting a housing allowance - strikes close to the bone as two of the highest profile “porkers” are former journalists.

It strikes us as odd that journalists should be appointed senators in the first place. As members of the fifth estate, it is their duty to scrutinize and report on the types of pork barrelling we are hearing that these senators are taking part of. They spend their careers seeking out this type of story, and to their credit; these are the types of things Canadians need to be aware of, especially when one ponders the questionable value of the upper house. Journalists, as a profession, should never be appointed to such a position of privi-lege; at the very least, any self respecting journal-ist should never accept a senate appointment.

How does it look when a sitting government and appoints a journalist to the senate?

It also doesn’t look good when former jour-nalists, who were once held in high esteem by the public for their journalistic professionalism, are in turn exposed for having no better morals than the politicians they reported on during their journalistic careers.

It must be human self interest, however, that eventually seems to taint everyone exposed to the excesses of government, for it seems like no one is immune to the prospect of easy money paid out at the expense of the taxpayer, when the opportunity arises.

If the allegations against these two former journalists turn out to be true, Canadians are presented with yet another reason for the urgen-cy for senate reform, and for the justice system to condemn this behaviour to the letter of the law.

For its one thing when a career politician pork barrels; it’s quite another when a professional who spends their career watching and reporting this disgraceful, selfish behaviour turns around and emulates it at the first privileged opportunity.

SANDI NOLANSALES

He has a white beard and a bully pulpit on CBC televi-sion, but he doesn’t use it to promote hockey fighting.

Instead he sucker punch-es the oil and gas industry at every opportunity, with increasingly flagrant disre-gard for the rules of science. Public broadcasting referees keep their whistles in their pockets, wary of offending a legend.

He’s David Suzuki, and he has evolved from ge-neticist to TV celebrity to his current role as the Don Cherry of Canadian science, an angry curmudgeon lash-ing out at his enemies.

Earlier I wrote about Suzuki’s hit piece on the Al-berta oil sands, featuring se-lective pollution studies and a celebrity turn by movie di-rector James Cameron, who toured the alleged carbon crime scene in his personal jet helicopter.

Suzuki’s latest Scud mis-sile of misinformation was launched Feb. 7 on “The Nature of Things.” It’s called

“Shattered Ground, “ and it borrows heavily from earlier shock docs that target hy-draulic fracturing for shale oil and gas.

While clearly aimed at the surging shale gas indus-try in B.C., this hour-long program offers little about B.C.’s long history of gas de-velopment. Suzuki’s voice-over refers briefly to B.C.’s Oil and Gas Commission, insinuating it was set up as a pet regulator protecting the industry from stricter oversight.

Mostly the show focuses on places like Dish, Texas and Dimock, Pennsylvania. The Texas segment talks about traces of neurotoxins in residents’ blood samples, blaming this on gas drilling and “fracking,” the new swear word of professional environmentalists.

The evidence shows some people have these traces in their blood, but others don’t, which suggests that more likely sources are cigarettes or exposure to disinfectants.

Pennsylvania and Colo-rado are key stops for the anti-fracking crowd. For

centuries there have been places known for methane dissolved in groundwater, typically from shallow coal seams.

This is where you can find a rustic fellow to shake a jug of well water and touch his Bic lighter to it, produc-ing a brief blue flame. The standard sequence moves to a sink and faucet, where a more impressive methane fireball is generated.

Suzuki’s voice-over notes that this is the scene that really gets media attention. There’s no evidence that drilling caused it, but hey, it’s TV. Science, meet “Hillbilly Handfishin’”.

Protest sequences take up much of the program. Moms rally against a gas well near a school in Erie, Pennsylvania, forcing evil Canadian corporation En-cana to back off. An elderly Quebec woman sobs on camera, convinced that a nearby gas well will trigger a relapse of her cancer.

One bit of local content is a segment on fracking-in-duced earthquakes, present-ed with sombre alarm by

Ben Parfitt, go-to researcher for the anti-industry left in B.C. These are detectable by sensitive instruments, as is the case with some mining and other industrial activi-ties, but according to the Oil and Gas Commission, they don’t do any actual harm.

It should be noted that Suzuki doesn’t do much beyond reading a script on these shows. He has people to load up the propaganda weaponry, just as his ghost-writer in Toronto cranks out the relatively innocuous weekly columns that run in some Black Press publica-tions.

In fairness, most epi-sodes of “The Nature of Things”are in the original spirit of the show. A re-cent program on an ancient Egyptian aquifer, voiced by Suzuki over “National Geographic” video footage, would be appropriate for a high school classroom.

The same cannot be said for this anti-fracking screed, which is plainly and reck-lessly calculated to twist public opinion against a crucial B.C. industry.

The Don Cherry of TV scienceBy Tom Fletcher Black Press


letters / news

To the Editor,I attended a recent meeting called by

Regional District Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) Area “D” Director Siddon. Attend-ees included RDOS staff, Area “G” Director Wood, developer Suki Sekhon, President, CRS Group, and enough Twin Lakes’ resi-dents to � ll the room.

Siddon suggested we consider how the developer feels having purchased property on which zoning allowing development may be “taken away.”

The Twin Lakes issue is not about a de-veloper’s feelings, but about the quantity and quality of ground water available in this ecosensitive area, and how many households, agricultural wells and surface water licenses it will support.

Having lived in Japan and California, I experienced the devastating effects of water shortage personally, economically, to agricul-ture, ranching and wild areas. Twin Lakes is home to species at risk (Spayed Foot Frog/Toad, Tiger Salamander, Western Painted Turtle) and migratory birds and wildlife. Five rare Lewis woodpeckers reside in our yard.

Previous hydrogeology reports concluded available water in the Twin Lakes area is already allocated or over-allocated to exist-ing households and the area’s agricultural wells, irrigation, storage and diversion water licenses. CRS is spending $250,000 on a new hydrogeology report, a fraction of the pro� t CRS expects should the development proceed.

Residents have repeatedly requested the Terms of Reference and Assignment of the current study, without response. This information should be provided to existing area residents who may be affected by the development.

CRS applied for a development vari-ance permit for a signi� cant reduction in the RDOS required water � ow/household, stating that Okanagan households use more water than do others in Canada. Twin Lakes is an arid climate outside of � re protection. We must keep plant material surrounding our homes green, which requires water, in case of � re.

Should the development be approved, will the RDOS, which will realize considerable property tax revenues; 1. Ensure provisions should ground water levels fall below accept-able levels and aquifer mining occurs? 2. Pay for monitoring and regulation of ground water use? 3. Establish with CRS, a trust fund prior to permit approval to compensate cur-rent home owners should the development drain available water?

According to a geologist in attendance, once the sand and gravel aquifer water is mined, sediment materials compact and the aquifer won’t re� ll. Water must then be hauled, requiring residents to build reservoirs, as no other water is available. Water is life - for Twin Lakes area residents and rare and threatened species which reside here.

Sincerely,Jennifer Strong

To the Council of Canadians:I will challenge people locally via email and

letters to the editor to spend six hours without turning on a tap or � ushing a toilet on March 22 or 23, which ever day they are at home.

Water will only become valuable or impor-tant when individuals are without it.

We can start on World Water Day with some experiential learning giving some increased water awareness - “No tap water for only six hours” - � ll containers, bathtub, buckets ahead of time and live for only six hours without turning on your tap when you

are at home - so Friday or Saturday. After this experience recall that you are not without water - you prepared and were just without your tap. What would happen if you were not able to � ll those containers?

I did suggest this in 2012 to Council of Ca-nadians and also to Okanagan Basin Water Board, but no one replied to me.

Please appreciate your water - both quan-tity and quality.

Coral Brown, from a recharge and ground water limited rural area of the B.C. South Okanagan. (Twin Lakes)

Issue is about water availability and quality, not development

Reader challenges people to appreciate water

My name is Sam Hancheroff and I am a long-term NDP member.

I was born and raised in Grand Forks, at-tended school there, and went to Selkirk College in Castlegar. I know the Boundary country well and understand their needs and desires. In 1971, I moved to Okanagan Falls to start my teaching career at Okanagan Falls Elementary, where I taught for 33 years. I was an active community member volunteering with the Okanagan Falls Fire Department and an elected Trustee for several terms with the Okanagan Falls Irrigation District.

I moved to Kaleden in 1993 and again was elected as trustee to the Kaleden Irrigation District. In 2004, I ran for school trustee and was elected to School District 53 as a representative for Okanagan Falls. I continue to be a member on both boards at this time.

In my capacity as school trustee, I travel throughout the district and have numerous oc-casions to meet with a number of community members. Overwhelmingly they express wishes to improve learning opportunities for children and adult learners. I also regularly hear from com-munity members about issues or concerns that are affecting their health, lifestyle, job opportunities, and political topics.

In addition to these activities, I also manage

our family vineyard here in Kaleden, enjoying the opportunity to be involved in the agriculture and viticulture industry.

My wife, Barbra Paterson (a retired school principal), and I have four adult children, and � ve grandchildren. We both continue to be actively in-volved in schools and our community, while greatly enjoying being grandparents!

I am running for this NDP nomination as I believe strongly in our NDP party and feel that it is our time to have greater representation of the NDP in our Provincial government. I am a strong supporter of the elderly, health care, education, job opportunities, agriculture and our environment.

I have participated and advocated at community levels of government for over 30 years. I understand hardships that families have when there are no jobs, seniors that are frustrated with government bureau-cracy, and families with a child that needs special care at school. I have spoken with many adult learn-ers and high school students who are frustrated because their choice of a career is hard to achieve because courses may not be available in their com-munities. I am a hard worker, problem solver, and respectful of all people and their opinions.

You can count on me for integrity, advocacy, and strong communication skills.

I Listen! I Care! I Act!

Six outstanding citizens of the South Okanagan - Similkameen were honoured on February 21 by the awarding of a Queen’s Ju-bilee medal, presented to them by BC Southern Interior MP Alex Atamanenko.

Approximately 50 people turned out to the Oliver Legion Hall for the awards ceremony last Thursday night.

Three citizens of the Similka-meen and three from the South Okanagan were given the medals, which commemorate the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne.

James Ouellette of Oliver, Kim Schur of Oliver and Brian Lobb of Osoyoos were the recipients from the South Okanagan. From the Similkameen, Charles Finch was awarded posthumously, his award received by surviving wife Hildred. Finch, who passed away last year, flew bomber missions during World War II, returning to the Similkameen to perform a lifetime of service to his com-munity in numerous ways.

“After hearing all that, you would think he was never at home,” commented Hildred wry-

ly, after hearing the long l i s t o f p l a t i -t u d e s d e l i v -e re d by M P A t a -manenko.

Beryl Wallace of Hedley was another recipient from the Si-milkameen. She was recognized for her community work in Hedley, making improvements to the OAPO hall, hosting many community dinners and acting as president of the Hedley seniors organization.

Salana Allison of Princeton was the third Similkameen recipi-ent. Atamanenko spoke of her environmental activism and her work to keep Princeton Hospital viable as part of her efforts to make the community a better place.

T h e aw a r d s c e r e m o -ny was well attended by Si-milkameen politicians Area “G” Director Angelique Wood and Area “H” Director Brad Hope.

Dr. Gerry Karr of the Healthy Living Society addressed the regional district board to describe the work of the Healthy Living Coalition at the Feb. 21 board meeting

Karr pointed out the differences be-tween the Healthy Living Coaliton and the Healthy Living Society, entities formed to promote healthy habits in the region’s communities.

The Healthy Living Society was origi-

nally conceived to found the Healthy Living Fair, but after the creation of the Healthy Living Coalition, the society will use its charitable status to help the coali-tion, which is a vehicle of implementation for the Healthy Communities Initiative.

“The society could work itself out of a job,” Karr predicted, noting that right now the society was important as a fund raising tool.

Karr reported that the coalition’s prog-

ress between January and March had been to de� ne the coalition’s mission statement and values, organize the structure and governance of the coalition and to conduct an environmental scan as one aspect of a full community baseline pro� le, with the ultimate goal of making the Okanagan - Similkameen the healthiest region in B.C.

The RDOS agreed to partner with Interior Health’s Healthy Community Initiative by joining the coalition.

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. Creatine, glutamine, and flax seed oil are all valuable additions. Remember, your workout really isn’t over when you put down that last dumbbell or step off the treadmill; it’s when you unplug and put away your blender.

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.

People who are ill have obvious patterns of addiction or low self esteem in the equation. An addiction is any-thing which has a hold on us such as: overwork, exercise, sex, food, chocolate, sugar, coffee, alcohol, ciga-rettes, illegal drugs, medications, money, worry, material possessions, relationships, negativity, overachieving, gambling etc. People can also be addicted to illness.The grapple hook of addictions can be an avoidance mechanism to take us off the path to fulfillment or to prevent us from exploring issues and subjects that expose our vulnerability. These addictive tendencies begin in childhood and our constant need for attention. Some people have had very traumatic childhoods. The comfort that their addiction provides is justifiable. Our parents or caregivers kept us quiet with food, the breast, the pacifier, the bottle, the toys, the outings, the diversions - and the minute we squawked, we were given something to keep us quiet. As adults, we rely upon these addictions to numb the pain and frustration of daily life. These items give us a sense of power and control.Coffee drinkers, for example, can describe in minute detail the feeling of their special brand of elixir as it touches every inch of their alimentary tract. And yet, you wouldn’t believe the numbers of people who are seeking optimum health while being addicted to caffeine, chocolate and sugars, not to mention illegal drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol. As soon as people stop taking these addictive substances, their health dramatically improves.I believe that life is all about learning, growing, and mastering certain behaviors, the least of which are addic-tions. On a higher spiritual level, addictions are interesting. They have great power over us and they also carry negative energies, which can be seen energetically. These negative energies or “entities” attach themselves to the physical body.When I see an addicted person, I can tell that something has a hook in them. I will see black all around them. They appear unclear or dark to me as if they have a dark cloud around them or a negative force, which is sap-ping their life force or vitality. Something has a hold on them and I know that they are addicted. From the spiritual perspective, nothing must have a hold on us - no substance, no person, no place, or posses-sion. On a spiritual level, we must be free, clear, and available to be moved by the universe. The addictions derail us and keep us from fully entering life and our true calling. Staying stuck in an addiction to any behavior means that we are not really ready to grow up and take full responsibility for the life that God has given us.Caroline’s Bio: Best-selling author (The Body ‘Knows’) and medical intuitive Caroline Sutherland.

MOST COMMON MEDICAL PROBLEMSIt’s not hard to imagine what the most common medical problems are in Canada by looking at the top ten drugs prescribed in 2012. This list includes a drug for hypothyroidism, two for lowering cholesterol, three blood pressure pills, one antibiotic, one antidepressant, one blood thinner and one to reduce stomach acid.

EXERCISE BENEFITS BRAIN AS WELLEveryone is aware of the benefits of exercise to our heart and muscles. But there are benefits to the brain as well. Tests show that regular exercise increases the oxygen to the brain. This increased blood flow to the brain can help slow cognitive decline that is associated with aging.

BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVELSBlood alcohol levels over 0.05 in Canada put drivers at risk. In some countries, the level tolerated is 0.02. These countries include China and Sweden. In Japan, the limit is 0.03.

CAUTION WHEN READING STATISTICSYou have to be cautious when reading statistics. If you read a headline that says “25% reduction in risk of death” with (some particular drug), it can be misleading. If risk of death without the drug is 4 in 1000, and with the drug it is 3 in 1000, that is a 25% reduction but in reality not quite as dramatic.

If you have questions about what you read in the media, check with out pharmacists. Part of our job is keeping up to date on what’s new in medicine and pharmacy. We can help put things in perspective for you.

ernment expenditures were below budget by $17,000.- Protective services ended the year slightly below

budget.- Public Works was below budget by $15,000.- Environmental and Parks budget was $10,000

below budget for cemetery costs, parks costs are $24,000 below budget.

- Water operating costs were over budget by

$5,000.- Sewer operating costs were below budget by

$21,000.Chief Financial Officer Rob Hagar attributed the

lower operating costs to reduced activity within the village last year, which affected wages and work loads in parks and at the cemetery. Sewer costs were reduced through wages savings and fewer lab tests.

A short discussion on budget supluses resulted in the assertion that 10 to 15 per cent annual surpluses

created a comfortable contingency fund for most municipalities. Surpluses generally go to reserves to help minimize future tax burdens. At the end of fiscal 2012, Keremeos should have an operating surplus of seven per cent, or $102,000.

Council was also updated on the 2013 Citizen Sur-vey. Village business for the evening ended with the adoption of the municipal ticket information bylaw, and a closed session of council.

Council news / continued from page 4

It was about 9:20 a.m. on a typical Friday morning in the industrial city of Chelyabinsk, Rus-sia. February 15 was shaping up to be an ordinary working day. But then things changed dramatical-ly. Thanks to many video cameras being in use at the time, what followed must

easily have been the most compre-hensively recorded meteor impact in history.

The recordings show a glowing, moving dot appear-ing in the predawn sky. The dot bright-ened and started to leave a glowing trail. It got brighter

and brighter, and the trail got longer. Finally the glare be-came brighter than the Sun, dazzling the cameras and on-lookers, then, as it faded and finally dis-appeared below the horizon, a long, com-plicated trail became visible. Soon after, a series of explosions damaged buildings,

blew out windows and sent over 1,000 people to hospital.

T h e a m a z i n g videos of the event showed the arrival of a larger-than-usu-al lump of cosmic debris. NASA esti-mates at the time of writing suggest the body weighed about 10,000 tonnes, was roughly 10 m across and moving at about 20 km/sec.

This makes it the largest object known to have hit the Earth since 1908, when someth ing came into the atmosphere over Tunguska, Si-beria and exploded, releasing an amount of energy equivalent to about 30 million

tonnes (Megatons) of TNT. Trees were flattened for many kilometres and the blast rattled glasses in Paris. If this explo-sion had happened over a densely popu-lated area, the disas-ter would have been indescribable. There was another meteoric impact in 1947, also in Russia, which was smaller than the 15 February event.

An object weigh-ing 10,000 tonnes and moving at 20km/sec possesses a lot of kinetic energy, roughly equal to the energy released in the explosion of 500,000 tonnes (500 kilotons) of TNT – 20 times the power of the Hi-

roshima bomb. All of this has to be re-leased on the way to the ground or on impact.

For an ob jec t moving that fast, more than 50 times the speed of sound, t h e a t m o s p h e r e would have seemed almost solid. Pushing through it produced enormous tempera-tures, up to 10,000 degrees, and gen-erated huge shock waves. Eventually the heat and rapid de-celeration were too much, and the ob-ject exploded. It was these shock waves and explosions that caused the damage and injuries.

It could have been

worse. This cosmic visitor came into the atmosphere at a shal-low angle, so that most of its energy was lost before its fragments reached the ground. If it had come in more steeply, more of the energy would have been re-leased at ground level or as a low-altitude, nearly 500 kiloton ex p l o s i o n . T h at would have been cat-astrophic.

We are getting bet-ter at spotting objects passing close to the Earth, such as As-teroid 2012 DA14, which passed us by at a safe distance of 28,000 kilometres the same day. However we are a long way

from detecting bodies 10m or so in diameter before they bore into the atmosphere, caus-ing the drama that happened in the skies over Russia on Fri-day. It’s not clear we will be able to prevent them from hitting us any time in the fore-seeable future.

Jupiter is high in the south after dark, moving into the west by midnight. Saturn rises around 11p.m. The Moon will reach last quarter on the 4th.

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

Continued research needed to find asteroids capable of making a cosmic impact

Yes, it’s true that investments held within a Registered Retirement Sav-ings Plan (RRSP) is the best tax-deferred, income-building way for most Canadians to save for retirement. It is similarly true that missing the RRSP deadline for mak-ing your maximum 2012 contribution can be very costly.• If you are in a high income bracket

this year but will have a lower mar-ginal tax rate in a future year, your tax benefit from that future RRSP contribu-tion will also be lower.• The additional tax refund you didn’t

get because you didn’t contribute this year is not available to make investments or pay down non-deductible debt. On the other hand, if you do make your max RRSP contribution and do get an additional refund, you should consider investments appropriate to your divers-ification requirements and tolerance for risk, rather than depositing your refund into a savings account.• The government does not allow you

to make RRSP contributions after the end of the year that you turn age 71. So, if you (or your spouse) are turning 71 in 2013, you should consider making an RRSP contribution by December 31st, 2013, or you’ll lose that tax-saving op-portunity.• If you are making a contribution to

a spousal RRSP, do it before December 31st each year to reduce the time before it can be withdrawn. Under ‘attribution rules’, a contribution to a spousal RRSP must stay in the RRSP for three calen-dar years before it is withdrawn, or the withdrawal will be attributed back to the contributor.• If you are claiming a spousal RRSP

deduction for a deceased spouse or com-

The cost of missing the RRSP deadline

mon law partner, the contribution to the spousal RRSP must be made in the year of death or during the first sixty days after the end of that year or the opportunity for this deduction will be lost. The deadline for making RRSP con-tributions for the 2012 tax year is March 1st, 2013. Don’t miss it and don’t miss out on other tax-saving, income-building oppor-tunities – talk to your professional advisor soon.
