Missing hikers found safe in Cathedral Lakes Tara Bowie

Review Staff The cost of the search and rescue

of a Northern Ontario couple lost in the Cathedral Lakes area could be in excess of $100,000.

Lynne Carmody and Rick Moynan from North Bay, Ontario went missing Sunday, June 21 when they failed to return to the lodge where they were staying after what was supposed to be just a day hike.

The couple was found a week later relatively unscathed with just bug bites, cuts and bruises from walking through underbrush and dehydrated. They received medical attention at Penticton hospital and were released.

After a week of searching, Carmody and Moynan surfaced not far from the lodge.

“What we believe is Saturday they had seen us pulling search teams out of the forrest,” Paul Barry, one of the search manager’s said during an interview Monday. “They could see the rescuers. They were in such close proximity they

could see the colour of the rope. They tried to yell but at that point couldn’t be heard. They knew they were too far down the hill to be seen. They determined they needed to make themselves more visible to be found.”

The pair left the lodge with just a bagged lunch, which was gone within the first 24 hours. It’s unknown at this point what if any-thing they ate while they were miss-ing.

When the couple realized they were disoriented they made a lean-to shelter near a creek so they had access to fresh water.

During the search teams from 19 search and rescue organizations throughout the province helped scour more than 200 kilometres of forrest.

The crews at times included ground crews, RCMP K-9 units and five helicopters.

Although Barry was unable to provide a definite dollar figure he acknowledged the search for the hikers was a costly one.

“Just for an idea, a helicopter is

$1,500 an hour. If you consider on Saturday we had four civilian heli-copters and one RCMP helicopter in the air and each one was going from dawn till dusk... just that day alone was a big ticket item,” he said.

In addition to helicopters, more than 40 search and rescue personnel worked to find the couple with tools including infra red devices.

Despite the amount of resources dedicated to the search, hope was dwindling in the day and hours before the couple reappeared.

Family members had arrived to the area at the start of this past weekend and the harsh reality was explained.

“We had met with the family Saturday initially to begin talking about the realities.... They were told the scope of the search and that at that point no clues had been discov-ered. It was agreed with everyone that if nothing further was found by the end of day Sunday that the search would be suspended and

Four wild� res breakout in Lower Similkameen Review Staff

Wet weather Monday offered little relief to crews battling out of control fires in the area and through-out the province.

“We have rain in the forecast for today (Monday) or tomorrow. Any amount of precipitation helps but we are headed right into another period of hot and dry so this is just a short reprieve,” Kelsey Winter, fire information officer for Kamloops BC Wildfire Service. said.

Over the weekend 19 fires broke out in the Penticton zone, which includes Hedley, Keremeos and Cawston and encompasses every-thing from Lake Country, Kelowna, Penticton down to the US border.

It was the busiest fire zone in the province for a 48-hour period.

Friday night Hedley residents were alerted to fire as airplanes buzzed by the area to dump retar-dant on a 0.7 hectare fire on the mountainside above the little vil-lage.

“We’re trying to deal with fires as quick as possible so we’re getting out there as fast and soon as we can so they don’t get a chance to spread and draw on resources,” she said.

By Monday morning the small fire was categorized as in mop-up status meaning firefighters have contained it and are working to ensure it is extinguished.

The fire is believed to be human caused but is still under investiga-tion.

Residents in Cawston might have had their Saturday night lit up as

lightening caused three fires to catch starting around 7 p.m.

The largest occurred near Hunter Creek and has grown to about 70 hectares in size. Two unit crews and a helicopter worked to put out the large fire into Monday afternoon.

Two other fires classified as spot fires as they were less than a hect-are in size occurred near Cawston Creek. The fires were responded to by crews and extinguished.

“We want to remind people that we are headed into a period where the number of lightening fires increase so we really need to see the number of human caused fires decrease,” Winter said.

Anyone who sees wild fire should call 5555 on their cell phone or 1-800-663-5555.

Tara Bowie With short notice Anna-Marie Friesen found a new location for her business Canadianna Spicery.

Business owner spices it up with new downtown Keremeos location

Heat wave leads to more power use The sustained heat wave province wide is hav-

ing an impact on electricity demand. On Saturday evening, hydro companies recorded an increase of 15 per cent in the peak hourly load over Saturday last week. The peak hourly load – the highest hourly demand observed throughout the day – was 861 megawatts higher than the previous Saturday. On Sunday, there was an increase of 10 per cent, or 617 megawatts, in the peak hourly load over the previ-ous Sunday.

The increases are more than the equivalent of running an additional generating unit at the Mica dam and generating station – one of the largest gen-erating stations in the province.

Hydro companies expect the higher than normal electricity demand to continue throughout the week as temperatures in the province climb. Although there is a significant increase in provincial electricity load during a sustained heat wave, hydro companies

still record the highest demand in the winter. This is in contrast to utilities in California and Ontario, where the highest peaks are experienced in the summer months due to the widespread use of air conditioning.

There are a number of ways British Columbians can save money during the heat wave.

· Keep the blinds down: shade your windows and block up to 65 per cent of the heat.

· Use a ceiling fan: ceiling fans are the most effi-cient option for cooling. Ensure the fan is rotating counter-clockwise.

· Keep the clothes dryer off: hang your laundry to dry and avoid the clothes dryer to keep unnecessary heat out of your house.

· Cook outside: use the barbeque to cook outside to reduce the use of your stove or oven.

· Take shorter, cooler showers.

The move is on for Canadianna Spicery. It was just 13 months ago that Canadianna

Spicery owner Anna-Marie Friesen opened her doors at her 7th Avenue shop, and she’s being forced to move.

She was told June 19 that the previous owner had sold the building and that the new owner want-ed the space she was renting for her own business.

With a July 31 move-out date she was left with just over 30 days to find a new place, renovate, pack up and move.

“I have no ill feelings. I totally understood the rental was month-to-month but I couldn’t find anything else in this town that would lease longer or that was a decent price. There are several empty buildings that have sat empty over the last year and they wouldn’t do a longer lease. I don’t under-stand,” she said. “When you give a business just 30 days you put a lot of stress on the person.”

Thankfully Friesen was able to quickly find a longterm rental. Starting immediately she is leasing the little house at the former Lower Similkameen Indian Band office site. The new store will just be down the street about four blocks.

The LSIB happily gave Friesen a five-year lease with an option to renew for another five years.

“This is the busiest time of year for me so this couldn’t be worse timing. I’ll have the store open where it is two days a week and I’ll be renovating the other location to bring it up to code so I have a commercial kitchen. I’ll also be making as much

in this kitchen as I can because it’s a commercial kitchen,” she said.

Friesen guessed she had stock to fill orders for the next 30 days but that she needs to make more this month than normal because she isn’t sure how long it will take to have Interior Health inspect and approve the new kitchen.

She only keeps about 30 days worth of stock to ensure her product is as fresh as possible for customers.

Friesen originally started the company 16 years ago when she decided to start selling her signature product Country Pepper. She now has several dis-tributors of her spices throughout the province. A variety of restaurants in the interior and on the coast use her spices and she’s grown a customer base of locals and tourists in Keremeos.

Before choosing to move to Keremeos, she spent about 15 years running Canadianna Spicery out of Rock Creek.

“You pour yourself into your business and just like that when you don’t own the building it can be taken away from you. It would have been heart-breaking. I’m so grateful for everything how it’s worked out,” she said.

From now until the end of July Canadianna Spicery will be open Fridays and Saturdays only. Customers can contact the business line if they need something when she isn’t open.

Her new business at 517-7th Avenue will be open by August 1.

Members of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 of Keremeos welcomed first responders including the paramedics (pictured), fire fighters, police and search and rescue members to a special dinner last week.

VICTORIA – The man behind “HarperPAC” says it lived and died in a few days to make a point about third-party advertising in Canadian politics.

When it launched, I wondered why he would choose such a deliberately provocative name. No, not “Harper,” but the acronym for “Political Action Committee,” which has come to symbolize the financial excesses of U.S. politics.

HarperPAC ran one radio ad, accusing Liberal leader Justin Trudeau of blaming voters for his declining popularity, and suggesting that Trudeau’s “months of mistakes” are a likelier cause. No kid-ding.

HarperPAC spokesman Stephen Taylor, who like Stephen Harper before him has worked for the National Citizens’ Coalition, announced the end of the project last week.

“We have contributed to a new discussion about political financing in a fixed election era that is critical to our democracy,” Taylor said. “We note that this discussion only occurred once a right-wing analog of the left’s PAC-style efforts emerged on the scene.”

Indeed, it was when HarperPAC emerged that muttering began about “dark money” in Canadian politics. Unifor, Anti-Conservative front LeadNow and the many faces of the Tides Foundation somehow failed to ignite much discussion in the Canadian media.

Taylor launched the bid in response to the emergence of “Engage Canada,” a union-financed action committee that he said was part of a broader effort by the left to oust the Conservatives. Engage Canada portrays itself as a brave alternative to shadowy right-wing groups such as Working Canadians, which has also run pro-Conservative ads.

Engage Canada’s latest ad plays on the union movement’s cher-ished “inequality” theme, selecting statistics to portray the wealthy as making out far better than the rest of us in Harper’s Canada.

(The notion that “inequality” can and should be fixed by ever-higher taxes on “the rich” staggers on, zombie-like, as if capitalism was the cause of poverty.)

Two recent developments have led to all this. Scheduled elections every four years have finally taken effect at the federal level, after a series of minority governments. And courts have repeatedly struck down efforts to restrict third-party spending in the so-called “pre-campaign” period as an unwar-ranted restriction on free speech.

The B.C. Liberal government tried and failed several times to restrict third party spending, largely in response to the million-dollar tirades of the teach-ers’ union. Former attorney general Wally Oppal

used to warn about American-style influence by wealthy interest groups targeting scheduled elections.

Their strategy was not so much to keep corporate money out of B.C. politics as to keep it flowing through the B.C. Liberal Party.

This spring the B.C. Liberal majority passed Bill 20, the Election Amendment Act. Not only did this recognize the free-dom of outsiders to weigh in on elections, it also did away with pre-campaign restrictions on registered political parties and can-didates.

NDP MLA Leonard Krog warned that this sets the stage for “some mad Wild West show,” with politicians so desperate to raise money they start looking for the B.C. equivalent of renting out the Lincoln bedroom in the White House.

The big difference between the pre-campaign ads for this fall’s federal election and the next provincial vote in 2017 is that cor-porate and union donations to parties and candidates have been eliminated at the federal level. That means more money available for third-party campaigns, but it seems to be fairly well distributed between the two sides, the Conservatives and everybody else.

Here in the Wild West, nothing’s going to change as long as the B.C. Liberals are in the saddle.

B.C. still the Wild West for elections

Human rights were much on the minds of North Americans last week, with the US Supreme Court deci-sion that gays have a constitutional right to marry in all 50 states.

Closer to home, a different battle over human rights begins this week in New Westminster as the BC Supreme Court entertains a challenge of municipal bylaws in the community of Abbotsford, which make it illegal for homeless people to camp in public places.

The complainant, the BC/Yukon Association of Drug War Survivors, argues the city violates the basic human right to a safe place to sleep, and that it wrongly evicted homeless people from a camp in Jubilee Park in 2013. The court has upheld similar challenges in the past, for example in 2009 requiring the city of Victoria to rewrite laws that prohibited overnight camping in parks.

The plight of the homeless in BCs urban centres, and local governments’ inability to address it, is often in head-lines. Two months ago the city of Vancouver reluctantly admitted it failed in its promise to eradicate homelessness by 2015. Efforts made since that lofty goal was set in 2008 appear to have stemmed an increase in the city’s homeless population, but have done little to reduce the numbers.

In November 2104 a report produced by a homeless advocacy group underlined the seriousness of the issue when it revealed the median age of death for a homeless person in BC is between 40 and 49, compared to an aver-age life expectancy of 83 for the general population.

The report also indicated – not surprisingly – that the two main causes of homelessness in Vancouver are lack of income and cost of housing, although it could not discount the contribution of many health related issues associated with being homeless, mental health issues, addiction and sexually-transmitted infection.

Experts agree that municipalities are not equipped to battle homelessness on their own. This is also suggested by past practice – for example when the city of Abbotsford ill advisedly dumped a load of chicken manure at a home-less camp in an attempt to discourage its residents.

Ultimately the situation demands greater federal and provincial investment in affordable housing – to keep individuals and families off the street in the first place – increased eligibility for assistance and improved access to mental health care services, addiction counseling, legal services and job training.

Homeless in rural areas like the Similkameen presents unique challenges for local governments. Each summer in Keremeos, for example, the village’s population balloons with individuals who habitat the parks surrounding the river. While in the village these people are often referred to as “transients’ as opposed to “the homeless” there is little to choose between the two labels. They both describe people living in makeshift shelters, who can create dis-comfort and controversy for those around them.

Knee jerk reactions – for example chicken manure – are clearly not the solution in rural areas anymore than they are in downtown city parks. Any attempt to address a homeless situation must involve dignity.

Level-headed consultation and assistance from multi-levels of government both in funding and policy setting are indicated.

The Charter holds a safe place to sleep as a basic human right. It must follow that everyone’s definition of “safe place” is different. For some that might be a park bench, or a shady spot by the Similkameen.

Homelessness is a reality that is not going to end, not for people living on sidewalks and in make shifts camps, and not for the people who live in high-rise apartment buildings or two-story houses with picket fences, and also have to “live with it.” - AD

A safe sleep – also a human

right

The Review Thursday, July 2, 2015 www.keremeosreview.com A 5

One of the things that struck our family about the BC Interior upon arriving here from southwestern Ontario almost a year ago is the lack of backyard swimming pools.

Now in no way did the DeMeer family live in a moneyed neighbourhood back in the navel of universe, yet there was a high pool per capita ratio.

Ever the logical one, Mr. DeMeer points out that in-ground pools are so named because they are dug into the ground and that’s much harder to do if not down right impossible when the ground is so much rock.

Most of the pools on our street – and the one in the backyard – were working class oases, above ground pools, much cheaper and easier to install and maintain.

Google does not provide a satisfactory answer when asked how many private pools exist in British Columbia. A 2012 article from the Globe and Mail claims that Quebec is decked out with the most pools in Canada, at least 300,000 which is more than Ontario even though the navel has 5 million more people.

Quebec has more pools per capita than

California, 26 Quebeckers for each pool, compared to 31 peo-ple per pool in the Golden State. No one knows why.

Saturday afternoon, while panting like mutts in the shade and trying not to move too much Mr. DeMeer sighed. “I miss our pool.”

I hit him with a rock.Over the years pool own-

ership was not without its stresses. As in many other areas of our life I was manic about safety and would sometimes lie in bed and just worry about the chances of someone drowning in the four feet of water in the backyard. (You know you are over-the-top safety conscious when you catch yourself yelling at the kids: “Make sure you wear your helmet in the pool!”)

When the kids were very young, and after voluminous reading on the importance of establishing multiple barriers to open water, I created a virtual obstacle course between the back door and the pool. There were enough

doors and locks and bolts and gates and even chains that Mr. DeMeer opined it was like try-ing to swim in Fort Knox.

I went so far as to order a pool alarm from a company in one of the southern states. There were no pool alarm sell-ers north of the border at the time, not even in Quebec – and the conversation with the sales clerk on the line was memo-rable.

“Whatyall mean you don’t have pool alarms in Canada? What kind of country do you live in? We all got laws down here about pool alarms. We surely do.”

Interest in water safety notwithstanding it was ironic that the man aghast at Canada’s lack of pool legislation no doubt kept a hand-gun in his desk drawer.

The alarm, when it finally made it through customs, was a disappointment. It consisted of a probe, which was inserted in the water to measure displacement. We tested it by tossing in one of the kids and sure enough the alarm

emitted an ear- piercing shriek that could be heard for blocks. This also occurred when the wind blew, or if a leaf or a bug landed on the water’s surface. Most people with back yard pools find themselves pretty popular with the neighbours. The DeMeers were unique.

Where and how we swim is certainly cultural. On my first summer weekend in the valley I was shocked at being invited down to the river for a swim.

Despite the fact that for several years in the navel we lived in a community that was proud to be the meeting place of two major rivers, nobody ever swam in them. It simply wasn’t done.

That might be because those rivers were brown and somewhat brackish, also heav-ily populated by large carp. Still it took a 42-degree June afternoon to motivate me out of the shade and down to the Similkameen. The water wasn’t deep enough for actual swimming, but there was a nice roomy spot to anchor my posterior in front of a rock. It was certainly cool. Sipping a drink and look-ing up at the mountains I thought:

Yeah, this is a pretty cool backyard.

Cool beats pool as region experiences record highs

O Canada, We Stand on Guard for Thee Art Martens

livingsignificantly.caThis week, when we sing “O

Canada, we stand on guard for thee,” will it be with a comprehen-sion that at times we must defend our system of government against those we have elected?

I fear we have become overly complacent about our democracy, at every level of government. We seem not to consider that early reformers worked unstintingly to attain what we have today. And we give little thought to the possibility it can be eroded by insidious forces if we become too preoccupied to observe what is happening.

If my perspective seems nega-tive at a time when we celebrate our nation, I suggest we take a careful look at what I believe is a too cozy relationship between the BC gov-ernment and the giant pharmaceuti-cal companies.

The provincial government’s arbitrary firing of eight Ministry of Health researchers is strikingly similar to the manner in which this land was ruled before it became a nation. At that time the Governor and his appointed Council deter-mined who received land and timber rights. Usually it was the wealthy friends of the oligarchy. The Governor and Council made all financial decisions, without permission from the people. Even after the Constitutional Act of 1791, any laws passed by the Elected Assembly could be vetoed.

When Canada was granted a Senate in 1867, its original purpose was to allow Canada’s wealthy elite to veto any legislation passed by the politicians representing the common people. Almost without exception, those in power at every level want to retain the privileges of power for their inner group. This enables them to reward those who help them hold on to their positions of influence.

The provincial government’s decisions concerning research in the pharmaceutical industry are reminiscent of a time when sig-nificant favours went to wealthy,

influential speculators.In 2012, when the government

fired the researchers, it appar-ently didn’t occur to anyone that Roderick MacIsaac, one of the eight, would commit suicide and bring huge media scrutiny. With pointed questions, reporters began dredging up embarrassing, highly disconcerting facts concerning the possible motivation behind this decision.

In thetyee.ca, Andrew MacLeod revealed that “the researcher who committed suicide was developing a way to evaluate a project that was one of Premier Christy Clark’s pet initiatives.” It entailed the uti-lization of Champix, a smoking cessation drug. The Tyee reported that both Health Canada and the American FDA had issued warn-ings about Champix. Also, accord-

ing to Colleen Fuller, Chair of PharmaWatch, other countries were removing Champix from the mar-ket at the time the B.C. government decided to list it under PharmaCare.

The Vancouver Sun learned through a Freedom of Information request that “police were never given evidence by the govern-ment to investigate the wrongdoing which was used to justify the fir-ings, despite the government tell-ing the public an investigation was ongoing.”

The police actually closed the file due to lack of information.

Just as in the early years of our nation when the Governor and Council favoured wealthy friends, the provincial government appears to be favouring large cor-porations, from which they have received huge infusions of cash.

Media reports indicate major phar-maceutical companies have given the Liberals tens of thousands of dollars in recent years.

The fired researchers had been delving into areas that were trou-bling for the pharmaceutical com-panies. Were the ill conceived fir-ings the government’s manner of appeasing the multinational phar-maceuticals and thanking them for their substantial campaign contri-butions?

And what was the motivation behind the government’s 2012 suspension of funding for UBC’s Therapeutics Initiative research contracts? TI provides practical, evidence based prescription drug information to physicians and phar-macists. The program has saved Canada hundreds of millions and prevented many deaths from inap-

propriate prescriptions.Only a massive media storm and

public outcry persuaded the gov-ernment to restore 50 per cent of the funding. Was our government so desperate to endear itself to the drug companies that it was willing to penalize its own citizens?

In “The March of Folly”, Barbara Tuchman suggests “the problem may not be so much a mat-ter of educating officials of govern-ment, as educating the electorate to recognize and reward integrity of character.”

Retaining power has become a primary motivation of some in government. This makes them sus-ceptible to the allurements of large corporate contributions.

“O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.”

Accommodation market grows with Klippers Guest SuitesTara Bowie

Review Staff As a family of six the Klippensteins know how

hard it is to find accommodations while travelling. So after a chimney fire destroyed a rental house

they owned in December 2013 they decided to build three bedroom guest suites in its place.

“We kept hearing there’s no place for bigger groups whether it’s friends or families young or older to stay together. We’re trying to give people an option to stay in the Similkameen when they come,” Kevin Klippenstein said.

Klippenstein operates Klippers Organics a 40-acre organic farm in Cawston with wife Annamarie. The couple has four young children.

Klippers Guest Suites is located on the farm just steps away from one of the orchards.

Construction on the building started May 2014 and finishing touches were completed last week.

The guest suites include three units with three bedrooms each. The suites are named Ambrosia, Fairhaven and Coronation.

Over this past winter the couple completed almost all the work inside minus the plumbing and electric.

“It was a busy winter. We did everything. The painting, the cabinets, the bathrooms, even the head-boards were custom made by Annamarie. It’s a little more higher end,” he said.

Each suite includes three spacious, modern and elegant bedrooms including a king-size bed in the master. The two second-floor suites include an en suite in the master as well.

The colour pallet and fixtures in each suite dif-fers, but the amazing view of the orchard and the mountainside are almost identical.

And if the views outside aren’t beautiful enough for guests the walls inside are decorated with origi-nal abstract portrait and landscape paintings by local artist Dwayne Woloshyn.

“Once we got Dwayne’s art in here everything started to look like it was coming together. We couldn’t believe how nice it looked,” he said.

Full fridge and stove are available for the con-venience of guests along with a pantry that the Klippenstein’s hope to stock if regulations allow. The preserved fruit and vegetables made on the farm would be for sale for guests similar to mini-bars in other accommodations. A gas barbecue is also avail-able.

A washer and dryer is located in every suite. The grand opening of Klippers Guest Suites was

held last week and the first guests arrived on the weekend.

At $350 a night plus tax for the two upper floor suites and $300 for the downstairs it’s no wonder people are already booking as far ahead as Christmas.

“We’re hoping to run it all year round, maybe attract the skiing crowd that go to Apex. We want people to have an enjoyable place to stay so they can really get out and enjoy the valley,” he said.

For more information about Klippers Guest Suites check them out on Facebook or www.klip-persorganics.com.

The family was then taken to one of the most beautiful views in the park to say their goodbyes.

“At that point the call had come in that they were found safe,” he said. “They are very lucky.”

Barry said this particular incident isn’t the longest someone has been missing in the backcountry but it is considered lengthy.

“Certainly people have survived longer but the reality is many people lost in the backcountry suc-

cumb within the first 24 to 48 hours,” he said. The number of people that go missing in BC per

year is greater than all other provinces combined. Barry said about 1,800 searches take place each year.

“BC is beautiful and we have vast wilderness areas that we want people to travel in and explore parks but we want them to do so wisely with proper training. People need to file a trip plan and stick to it. Unless you are highly skilled with a map and com-pass and GPS just stick to the trails. Most impor-tantly they should always go prepared for something to go wrong. They should always take the essentials for at least 24 hours.

Almost time to crown king/queen of the grill

Ladies and gentlemen, start your grills. The Similkameen is about to name a new

Similkameen BBQ King. The annual Similkameen BBQ King event will

be held on Saturday, July 11th from 5-9 p.m. at the historic Grist Mill & Gardens in Keremeos. This truly unique Similkameen wine and food experi-ence is a competition where featured chefs from the Okanagan and Similkameen compete for the coveted title of Similkameen BBQ King or Queen.

Caroline Cottrill, President of the Similkameen Wineries Association explained, “We invite you to enjoy an extraordinary evening with award-winning Similkameen wines and ciders and the distinguished chefs who are vying for the title of Similkameen BBQ King 2015. This truly unique Similkameen wine and food experience is a competition where our featured chefs will create unique dishes using organic ingredients from local farmers in the heart of Canada’s organic capital. Each chef receives an identical basket of ingredients, yet each chef pre-pares those ingredients into remarkably different dishes.”

The first hour of the event, from 5-6 p.m., will feature tastings from our Similkameen wineries and cidery. And then the competition will begin at 6 p.m.

Cottrill continued, “this year, we wanted to really showcase our local restaurants as well, so we added a second competition – a small bites competition. Each local chef competing in our small bites com-petition will also have a winery or cidery paired with them.”

Similkameen BBQ King competing chefs are:Chris Boehm, Burger 55Aden Clarke, Private ChefKevin Cooper, The Patio at NK’Mip CellarsJacob Gunn, Wrong Turn TavernShayna Merritt, Shayna & Shulman Culinary

AdventuresNatasha Schooten, The Grist MillAdair Scott, Watermark Beach ResortJeff Van Geest, Miradoro Restaurant at Tinhorn

tunity to cast your vote for the best wine and food pairing of the night for both the Similkameen BBQ King competing chefs and the small bites competing

chefs! The event will feature two live entertainment

areas. The main entertainment will be John Rousseau and Paul Henbury from The River Line. Hailing from Summerland, John and Paul play all original music. There will also be a second entertainment stage this year featuring local entertainers They Them Theirs and Wild Organic Humans.

“We have made some other great changes this year too. Something Blue Photography will be at the event with a fun photo booth featuring chef hats, BBQ gear and historic clothing from the Grist Mill so that our guests can create a special memory of the evening. We are also excited to feature the addi-tion of local art at our Similkameen BBQ King. Our local Similkameen-based artists and members of the South Similkameen Arts Society add so much flavour and culture to our region and we are excited that a number of artists will have their art on display in a Similkameen art walk at the Grist Mill. Prepare to be amazed at their fabulous original creations,” remarked Cottrill.

There will also be a silent auction that is a partial fundraiser for the Grist Mill, which is a Heritage BC site. Cottrill expanded, “We are starting to get in some absolutely amazing prizes for our silent auc-tion. We are thrilled to help raise funds and aware-ness for this beautiful facility in Keremeos.”

Tickets are $90 and can be purchased at any of our member wineries, at the Keremeos Visitor Centre, the Grist Mill, Tree to Me or online at www.SimilkameenWine.com/events. Complimentary shuttles are available from throughout the Okanagan/Similkameen. Keremeos Taxi has also been hired to do continuous taxi runs to get local guests home safely.

A beautiful sunny day, 11 amazing chefs, award-winning wines and ciders from the members of the Similkameen Wineries Association, live entertain-ment, a fun photo booth, an art walk, a gorgeous venue and a silent auction with fantastic prizes. Sounds like a delightful way to spend a beautiful Similkameen summer evening.

The Similkameen is one of the hot spots for grape and fruit wine and cider in British Columbia, Canada. It was named by enRoute Magazine as one of the world’s 5 Best Wine Regions You’ve Never Heard Of! The Similkameen Wineries Association is a collective of 11 wineries and a cidery located in Cawston and Keremeos in the Similkameen Valley.

Candidates for a council seat in a small community should be able to spend no more than $10,000 to run for mayor and $5,000 for a council or school board seat, says a legislature committee on local election financing.For larger communities, a population-based for-mula would limit a mayoral campaign for a city of 150,000 residents to just under $90,000, with other municipal candidates limited to half that. The for-mula would limit a candidate for mayor of Victoria, population 80,000, to about $50,000, while Surrey’s population of 470,000 would mean a cap of $180,000 to run for mayor.The small-town limits apply to communities up to 10,000 residents. For larger ones, mayoral candi-dates would be limited to $1 per capita for the first 15,000 people, 55 cents per capita up to 150,000, 60 cents per capita for 150,000 to 200,000 and only

15 cents for communities larger than that.Fraser-Nicola MLA Jackie Tegart, who chaired the committee as it toured the province, said the limits are aimed to make running for local government “accessible and affordable,” while recognizing the vast difference between political campaigns in large cities and those in small communities.The spending limits still have to be endorsed by the legislature, but the B.C. Liberal and NDP members of the committee endorsed them unanimously. They are part of a series of local election reforms that included extending terms to four years.The committee wants third-party advertisers lim-ited to five per cent of what a mayoral candidate is allowed to spend. The spending limits would be in effect starting on Jan. 1 of each election year.B.C. is joining Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador in placing spending limits on at least some of their local elections.

Shirley Hardy was given her first diagnosis of cancer 15 years ago. Presently she is battling it for the third time. She has endured both chemotherapy and radiation.

“I don’t want any more of that,” she said.

Her doctor has told her it is inoperable and would like to give her his estimate of the time she has left. Shirley is a fighter, though, and is focusing her thoughts on staying alive and becoming healthy again.

Talking about this significant health challenge she smiled and said, “I’ve tried what doctors have to offer. Now I’m putting my hope in homeopathic medicine.”

On Sunday the Hedley Community Club served a deli-cious brunch as part of a fund-raiser to help Shirley pay for the homeopathic approach. Anyone looking for a good cause to sup-port can contact T.J. Bratt at the Hedley Country Market at 250-292-8600.

Cache Creek begins to recover from flood Work continues more than one month after a flash

flood that caused considerable damage in the Village of Cache Creek.

Village of Cache Creek mayor John Ranta said teams of volunteers from around B.C. and Alberta came to the community after the May 23 flood to help out.

Some people lost their homes and their possessions and are struggling to recover.

More than $130,000 was raised through BlackPress4Good, a crowdfunding platform run by Black Press. Ranta said a committee will be formed to help decide who will receive funds, and how much. The

committee will not include any politicians. Money raised will go to helping residents.

The community will also host CacheAid, a concert event to raise money for the Village of Cache Creek disaster relief fund.

The two-night event on July 3 and 4 will feature Dreams, a tribute to Fleetwood Mac; Arrival, a tribute to ABBA; Aerosmith Rocks, a tribute to Aerosmith; Who Made Who, a tribute to AC/DC: and more.

There are only 250 tickets available and tickets are $75 for each evening.

HOW IMPORTANT ARE BEES

We are all familiar with honey bees but do you really know how important they are for sustaining life of human beings?Honey bees are one of the most important domesticated animals in the world. Billions of dollars of fruits and vegetables depend on pollination. Most beekeepers move their beehives around so the bees can gather the nector of a variety of flowers around mountains and here in the Lower Mainland in British Columbia, Canada bees are pollonating blueberries, raspber-ries and from natural wildflowers, fruit trees, vegetables ec. All these different flowers produce honey with unique flavors. Bees make alo propolis, pollen and royal jelly.Honey FactsIt takes the nector from 1 million flowers to make 500 grams of honey and the bees travel 45.000 km to harvest it. The average bee worker produces ¼ of a teaspoon of honey during her lifetime.Sweet Inside and OutHoney has been a medicine since ancient times. Sumerian clay tablets and Egyptian papyri indicate honey was used in most treatments and was especially effective for dressing wounds and sores. Those prehistoric physicians knew what they were doing. Modern research verifies honey’s healing benefits.Honey has three important wound healing capabilities. Antimicrobial activity sterilizes the wound, and prevent wound con-tamination. Anti-inflammatory activity reduces swelling, pain, and scarring potential and honey stimulates rapid healing through decreased phagocytosis and cell proliferation. The physical and chemical characteristics of honey contribute to is antimicrobials activity. The low water content in combination with the high osmolarity has the effect of limitting the growth of bacteria, while the natural acidity helps to prevent bacterial growth. Bees use enzymes to convert nectar into honey. The resulting compounds preserve and sterilize the honey. There are a number of other compounds present which also contribute to antibacterial activity. Several researchers have shown that honey helps heal burns, wounds and sore throats. In addition honey has found to help digestion. What would be a good herbal tea without quality honey?Honey is soft on skinHoney has been used as a beauty product since the days of Cleopatra and it continues to be used today in products for skin and hair care. Honey acts as a natural humecant, which means it has the ability to attract and retain moisture. The skin’s ability to stay moist (or hydrated) is an important factor in its ability to maintain softness, suppleness and elasticity. As skin ages, or as it is exposed to environmental stresses and chemical agents, it loses its ability to retain water; it becomes dry and appears wrinkled. Honey’s natural hydrating poperties make it ideal for use in moisturizing products. Because it is all natural and does not irritate the skin, honey is also suitable for sensitive skin products.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.

VERMONT HEALTHIEST IN U.S.A story out of the U.S. cites Vermont as the healthiest state in the country. This distinction is partially due to the high rate of high school graduation and a low incidence of infectious disease. The other reason was the considerable gains in the number of people who stopped smoking. Incidently, Mississippi was least healthiest in this study.

AUTISM AND THE GIWith the numbers of autism cases rising in Canada (up 600% in the past 20 years), research is starting to focus on the gastrointestinal (gi) symptoms of the disorder. Since 70% of autistic children have severe GI sypmtoms, there is a theory that the causes of autism might start in the gut. Autism causes much stress in families and it will be a great day when the cause and effective treatments are discovered.

NAILS AND YOUR HEALTHIt takes 6 months to grow complete finger nail and 18 months for a toe nail. The appearance of the finger nail can sometimes indicate a health problem. Brittle, concave nails could indicate lack of iron. Nails that are separating from the nail bed could mean a hyperactive thyroid gland.

It’s a good idea to build a relationship with your pharmacist just as you do with your doctor. We’d like to be your pharmacist. Drop in soon.

Busy summer ahead in Boundary-Similkameen Linda Larson

MLA, Boundary-Similkameen This time of year gets hotter and

busier for all of us, but good things continue to happen despite the heat.

The ALS fundraiser at Fairview Golf Club in Oliver was a suc-cess again thanks to the golfing marathon of Thierry Martin and Rob Tadey. More than $10,000 was raised, which would not have been possible without the support of the golf club, the donors, volunteers and these dedicated golfers.

Thanks to volunteers and staff at N’Kmip Cellars and Silver Sage Winery who made our government guests welcome and provided excel-lent service to all. To those who came to the reception at N’Kmip and the Chamber lunch to visit with Premier Christy Clark and cabi-net ministers to further only one cause – a national park – I am sure you eloquently made your case. To those who came to find out more about what government is doing and discuss issues of all stripes, thank you for your participation. It is not often that Premier and cabinet are all in one place for individuals to talk to in an informal setting.

June is filled with special events

for those who are graduating from traditional high schools in the Boundary/Similkameen. I attended the graduation at You Learn and I am always encouraged by the will-ingness of those who have fallen out of the “regular” system to go back to either graduate or upgrade their education through non-tradi-tional learning. The teachers should also be commended for encourag-ing these individuals to step up their education and build better futures for themselves and their families.

My husband and I watched our three daughters graduate from SOSS in the 1990s and had the pleasure of attending our grand-daughter’s graduation from the same school this June. The oppor-tunities for our young graduates today were unimaginable when we graduated in the ‘60s – careers no one had heard of in the field of technology or environmental stud-ies among many others.

Young people just starting out can go online to “Find Your Fit” and match their skill set with job opportunities all over the province. There will be no shortage of jobs in British Columbia over the next 10

to 20 years but there is an iden-tifiable short-age of people to fill those jobs as people move out of the workforce and into retirement.

I will con-tinue to work on getting the access ibi l i ty message out to communit ies and small busi-ness. I attend-ed the Sechelt Accessibility Awareness Day and had a tour of their commu-nity to show me how they had made sidewalks and streets safer for those with disabili-ties. Bill Conway is chairman of the District of Sechelt Accessibility Advisory Committee. Bill is blind, but he and his dog Lady Slick did a wonderful job of showing me the work they had done. My hope is to see these special advisory commit-

tees of volun-teers become a part of every local govern-ment through-out the prov-ince.

July brings many special events and celebra-tions into the riding. Canadians are traditionally a bit quiet about their love of Canada but I believe that pride is deep

inside all of us and the small but powerful

celebrations we do have demon-strate that pride. I will celebrate with pancakes in Oliver, parades in Osoyoos and the ribbon-cutting on the new walkway in Kaleden. I hope all of you will find time to show your red and white on July 1.

Congratulations to the Dubh Glass Distillery on its official open-

ing. Another small business using local fruit in a unique way, and another stop for our tourists and locals.

Founders Day in Greenwood

is on July 11 as is the Sunshine Festival in Oliver. I will attend both and I encourage you to participate if you can in one of these great com-munity events and enjoy the best in local food and entertainment.

Throughout the summer, most of the communities in the South Okanagan, Boundary and Similkameen will showcase the best of everything that has drawn tourists to these areas for many years but they are not just for tour-ists; they are your celebrations too, so welcome our visitors and get out and enjoy all the great events with them.

I will be returning to the Legislature on July 13 to be part of the debate on LNG legislation and regulation. My staff will continue to offer any assistance you need, as they always do. Be safe, drink lots of water and wear sunscreen. Cheers.

CAPRICORN: You may be feeling bored and pressured to make some changes, Capricorn. Before you make any changes, be sure you are making them for the right reasons.

AQUARIUS: Aquarius, this week you may be challenged by circumstances that prevent you from straying too far from home. You might desire a vacation, but it’s on hold for now.

PISCES: A new project at work excites you, Pisces. This may open up more opportunities in the weeks ahead, so give your best effort.

ARIES: Aries, changes on the horizon have you excited. Something may come up that appears to compromise your plans, but keep an open mind and everything will work out.

TAURUS: Taurus, give into your feelings and throw caution to the wind this week. You might shock someone by doing something risky. Explore this boldness if it suits you.

GEMINI: You are a born leader, Gemini. You are normally comfortable designating tasks and overseeing their completion, but you may have to get your hands dirty this week.

CANCER: You may experience a breakthrough this week, Cancer. You have been toiling over something for some time now, and you finally have the information you need.

LEO: Leo, you have a lot of enthusiasm and are ready to share it with others. Devote your time to a worthy project or host a social event to bring friends together.

VIRGO: Virgo, you normally like to take things step-by-step, but excitement this week may find you taking a less careful approach. Ask a friend to keep you in check.

LIBRA: Libra, an important decision is awaiting you. Weigh all of your options before making a final decision. Giving yourself more time is the more prudent move.

SCORPIO: Scorpio, many career opportunities are available to you. Decide if you want to stay where you are or if change will serve you better over the long haul.

SAGITTARIUS: This can be a good week for you, Sagittarius. Many things are going your way, and you needn’t worry about plans falling apart. Friends will help out as needed.
