Several members from area search and rescue teams, along with two local � re de-partments took part in ice rescue exercises at Yellow Lake this weekend.

The weekend course followed a similar session that took place two weeks ago at the popular ice � shing lake.

The classes were taught by instructors from Rescue Cana-da, a private compa-ny out of Chilliwack that specializes in water rescue tech-niques.

Four instructors from the company trained 19 students on the weekend during an exercise that involved three hours of classroom instruction followed by a couple of hours on the ice at Yellow

Lake on Saturday, January 19. The stu-dents returned for more practical in-struction on the lake on Sunday.

Master Rescue Instructor Michael Stegemann said that the lake had excel-lent ice conditions on the weekend, com-pared to the class two weeks ago, when the lake had just begun to freeze. On Satur-day, the ice was eight inches thick, with a well consolidated slush layer under-neath. The group c h a i n s awe d t wo roughly 10 by 10 foot holes in the ice, and the class took turns practicing self and rope rescue tech-niques on Saturday, Third party rescue training followed on Sunday.

“People who fall through the ice can survive 45 minutes to an hour in the water,” Stegemann pointed out, “the issue is in-capacitance from the cold, which can hap-pen in � ve minutes or less.” Without appro-

priate equipment, or an awareness of self rescue techniques, the inability to move once immersed in the freezing water is the greatest threat. Stegemann said that the best precaution ice � shers could take is to wear a person-al floatation device

(PFD).S tudent s were

equipped with rescue gear which included survival dry suits. Af-ter some initial trepi-dation, the class took to the two ice holes, each one taking turns jumping into the frigid water. What intitially looked like

an exercise in insan-ity quickly became a unique adventure for the students, who happily - and com-fortably, apparently - plunged into Yellow Lake over and over again.

“It takes about 15 minutes to get all the gear on,” explained

Kyle Fosset, a mem-ber of the Oliver - Osoyoos SARteam who had taken the course previously and was observing Saturday’s session. “Fire� ghters tend to be the � rst respond-ers on scene for an ice rescue. The SAR teams would gener-

ally quickly follow.”Members of the

Keremeos Volunteer Fire Department, The Penticton Fire Department, Oliver - Osoyoos Search and Rescue and Pentic-ton Search and Res-cue all sent members to participate in the weekend training.

Keremeos branch of Valley First Credit

Union celebrate food bank funding win

“To those of you who ask, ‘Where’s our community spirit?’ well, we have it in spades,” Keremeos Valley First branch manager Joan Bauman told a gathering at the credit union on January 17 as she presented a cheque for $6,500 to Cawston Food Bank Manager Ingrid Percival.

Valley First Credit Union cel-ebrated its 65th anniversary last year. In recognition of the occasion, the credit union challenged its employees to collect 6,500 pounds of food for local food banks. By the end of the year, the Keremeos branch had raised

a whopping 12,000 pounds of food, and in doing so won a $6,500 dona-tion to the Cawston Food Bank.

“I can’t thank area residents and Valley First enough for their contri-butions,” said Percival after receiving the cheque.

“If it weren’t for all of you the food bank would have closed last year.” Percival noted that she would be opening the food bank later in the day to approximately 80 people in need.

“Thanks go to Valley First for a wonderful campaign,” added Mayor

Manfred Bauer, who also attended the celebration.

“Everyone has responded well to this challenge, but especially here in the Similkameen. Our residents deserve all the credit.

Thanks also to Ingrid Percival for providing such a necessary service.”

Valley First branch Manager Joan Bauman said that even though the campaign is over, the credit union continues to accept food and cash do-nations on behalf of the food bank.

“The campaign is over,” she con-cluded, “let’s keep it going.”

Community spirit is evidenced by generous contributions by Lower Similkameen residents to program

By Steve Arstad [email protected]

The regional district board of directors agreed to a request put for-ward in December to participate in a partnership with the Interior Health Authority at the January 10 regional district board meeting.

Betty Brown, Community Health Facilitator with Interior Health, presented the Program for Healthy Communities at the December 20, 2012 meeting of the board. She asked them to adopt a resolution stating their interest in partnering with IHA to promote healthy living throughout the region.

The board approved a recommen-

dation put forward to partner with the Okanagan Similkameen Healthy Living Society (OSHLS) to increase actions that will improve the health of citizens in the regional district by reducing chronic disease and obesity.

The board also resolved to en-courage each of their member mu-nicipalities to indicate their support of this intiative by resolving to enter into the Letter of Understanding with the OSHLS.

The Healthy Communities initia-tive works with local governments to plan and implement actions to reduce chronic disease by assisting local governments with the provision of data, presentations, workshops, best practice tools and resources, plan-

ning and facilitation, support to de-velop community health pro� les, gap analysis, measuring and monitoring and joint development of a Healthy Living Strategic Plan.

The Healthy Living Coalition cur-rently has representatives from the In-terior Health Authority, the RDOS, the City of Penticton, the Penticton Indian Band, School District #67, and the Okanagan Healthy Living Society. This organizing group will is expected to develop guiding prin-ciples, followed by a workshop in the spring that will hopefully draw wider participation for other local govern-ments, First Nations, school districts, and other stakeholders.

RDOS board supports healthy communities initiativeBy Steve Arstad [email protected]

The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen is looking for feedback on its proposed 2013 operating budget.

“This is an important part of the budget process — a very important part,” said Warren Everton, Director of Finance with the RDOS. “We hold open houses, meet with local councils and look for public feedback before we � nalize the budget to hear what ratepayers have to say.”

Over the next � ve weeks, the RDOS will undertake a number of initiatives to ensure all RDOS ratepayers and con-stituents interested in reviewing and pro-viding feedback on

the 2013 budget will have an opportu-nity to do so.

“This includes public consultation sessions in various communities and meeting with local councils,” explained Everton. “We make a budget presen-tation and then take questions. The information we gather is returned to the regional board for further discussion.”

Budget information will also be made available on the RDOS website at www.rdos.bc.ca. The information is available under the Hot Topics tab.

“The budget is a complex document, so we have developed a very robust elec-tronic document that is easy to search and explore,” said Everton. “We’ve made it like an electronic binder.”

EditorialBureaucracy grows with management transfer

Keremeos Village Council spent some time debating the planned management transfer of the Infocentre readerboard operation during the January 7 regular meeting of council.

The village’s reasons for taking over manage-ment of the sign seems to be based, in large part, due to the fact that the sign was funded through a “Towns for Tomorrow” grant. The village has also reasoned that they have more staff available to operate the sign on a regular basis. They add that they are not unhappy with the present operation of the sign.

We wonder, then, why transfer management at all? The village admits there will be an expense involved, and along with the transfer of manage-ment comes a new policy with a set of nine guide-lines governing its use. The policy, covering two pages and invoking an application process which user groups will have to follow, will likely do little to improve the sign’s messaging capability.

Let’s face it - the readerboard’s present useful-ness, based on its present location, is to inform the travelling public about regional events. If its use is to be an information board used to inform village residents of municipal messages, it will likely provide little useful function because of its location in the community, since the majority of village residents live east of the sign, and tend to drive east when they leave the village.

We feel the reader board’s original purpose was to enhance tourism and communicate regional special events. In that function, its placement in front of the Infocentre made good sense. So did its operation by Similkameen Country personnel.

Adding a two page list of rules and procedures to the village’s bureaucracy, along with a man-agement swap that will unnecesarily add to staff workloads without providing any noticeable return to residents of the village or the Lower Similka-meen- are things that don’t make any sense at all.

I have mixed feel-ings about the Idle No More protests. There are growing divisions within the First Na-tions leadership, and there has always been a lack of clarity about how best to address First Nations’ poverty and unresolved rights and title claims.

However, we must be very care fu l not to judge these pro-tests too quickly or too harshly.

The freedom to pro-test is a key tenet of a healthy democracy. While we might be in-convenienced by pro-tests or even disagree with the reasons be-hind them, it’s impor-tant to remember that the freedom to protest is a fundamental dem-ocratic right we need to protect.

We must take care that our impatience with the personal in-c o nve n i e n c e p u bl i c protes ts may create does not enable our government to exercise authoritarian control over our freedom to express ourselves.

The Idle No More p ro t e s t s h ave b e e n a long time coming. They are the resu l t of increasing frustra-tion with treaty pro-cesses that are set up to fail, an Indian Act that maintains a pa-ternalistic relationship wi th Firs t Nat ions, and the development of natural resources that continue to have unresolved ownership claims.

Our federal and pro-vincial governments pay lip service to re-so lv ing these long-standing issues, but their focus on accel-erating the develop-ment of Canada’s and B.C.’s natural resourc-

es has brought the is-sue of resource title and benef i t shar ing to a head. In the ab-sence of consultation processes that work, clarity of ownership over these resources, and equitable sharing of the benefits of re-source development, First Nations’ frustra-t ions have grown to the point that they feel compelled to take to the streets.

When the treaty ta-ble doesn’t work, when the government won’t resolve long-standing legal rights issues, and when companies and the government make money from natural re s o u rc e s t o wh i c h they don’t have clear title, what is left for First Nations to do but disrupt the status quo to force action on these issues?

The courts have said these issues must be re-solved. The investment community has said

these issues must be resolved. But federal and provincial politi-cal leaders continue to address First Nations issues with little more than empty talk.

Ins tead of grum-bling about the incon-venience these pro-tests create, if we take the t ime to educate ourselves about these i s sues and jo in the call for reform, then maybe this time our political leaders will finally start doing the hard work of resolving these complex issues once and for all.

A semi trailer doesn’t quite make it through Keremeos’ famous Sev-enth and Seventh inter-section on Wednesday, January 16. Traffic was disrupted for a short period until the drivers of both ve-hicles and the police had a chance to docu-ment the incident.No injuries were re-ported.


Projects introducing new technology to the province’s tree fruit industry are receiv-ing support from the govern-ments of Canada and British Columbia, Member of Par-liament for Kelowna-Lake Country, the Honourable Ron Cannan, on behalf of federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, and B.C. Agri-culture Minister Norm Let-nick announced last week.

“B.C. has a strong rep-utation around the world for producing top- quality tree fruits, such as apples and cherries,” said Can-nan. “These projects and leading-edge technologies will increase profitability and ensure that the region’s producers remain industry leaders on the domestic and international stage.”

“The B.C. government has been working with industry to focus on innovation and

technology as we look at ways to expand their prod-uct line and markets,” said Letnick. “The investment of more than $200,000 for these six projects will enhance both our province’s tree fruit operations and ensure the ag-rifoods industry continues to be an integral part of British Columbia’s economy.”

Cawston Cold Storage is receiving the lion’s share of grant funding, receiving more than $106,000 to assist with new storage technology. The investment will enable greater efficiencies in the movement of product in and out of cold storage. The goal of the facility is to extend the B.C. organic apple marketing season by maximizing the post-harvest product storage quality.

“With this funding we are able to secure much needed long-term storage for our products, and this innova-tive facility will help the B.C. organic agriculture indus-try remain strong for fu-ture generations,” said Dan Taylor, operations manager, Cawston Cold Storage.

Cawston Cold Storage is introducing refrigeration

technology that is new to B.C., utilzing a system that does not use ammonia for heat exchange, but at the same time using geothermal sources to provide part of the energy needed for heat exchange.

CCS’ controlled atmo-sphere rooms have such highly efficient insulation that there is no need to add nitrogen once the apples are “asleep”.

“There is nothing else like it in Canada,” said Taylor, “the system allows us a lot of flexibility when we pack the fruit.”

Cawston Cold Storage serves 36 growers who farm 700 acres of organic tree fruits each year.

The remainder of the $200,000 funding went to the following projects: - Coral Beach Farms in Lake Country received $35,000

- The Jind Fruit Company received $26,000

- The Okanagan - Koote-nay Cherry Growers Associa-tion received $21,000

- BC Fruit Growers Asso-ciation Research and Devel-opment test orchard received $19,200.

To the Editor;With the recent movement “Idle No

More”, the court ruling that has identi� ed descendants of native families (Metis) as having equal rights as Indians, plus all the other rulings surrounding Indian people, we now have another movement from the non-native community to discredit First Na-tions people based on what they have heard. These come in the form of e-mails, posts on Facebook, etc.

Well, I admit we haven’t done a very good job of informing the general public on the whys and why-nots that make up the reasons for our unrest and mistrust.

Our concerns here locally are now focused on land use and environmental issues rang-ing from water to wildlife, plus many things in between.

On the national level there is this hunger strike in Ottawa, “Idle no More” across the country, and many other issues that the me-dia has � nally picked up on.

Like every other disagreement, we natives here have been trying to improve our situa-tion by voicing our concerns and supporting other First Nation movements that do now or may in the future affect us directly.

While all this is going on, our non-native neighbors, some family members, and oth-ers within the community are listening and being totally confused because they either know nothing personally, or had not been informed that there is a problem, and react to the rumors that keep popping up. Most have no idea of what the difference between reserve land and public land is except that the native land has no taxes attached, the Indians get free housing, these Indians are lazy and don’t work, and the non-native tax dollar is what is supporting all of it.

An easy solution would be to cut the In-dians off, tell them to go out and earn the required money each needs to live, and to stop being a burden on those who do pay the taxes. Problem is, what the Indians receive and can do with their lands and recourses is controlled by the Federal Government who are trying to abandon their committments and dodge the bullet by down loading it all to each province, then abstaining from any debate surrounding the issues.

Let’s look at how we got to total disagree-ment in the � rst place before we weigh in our personal opinions to either support or oppose what is being said and actually hap-pening.

Rolling the clock back a couple hundred years or so, the Indians were the only occu-pants of this area, � shing, hunting, trapping. Food sources, timber, minerals, and every-thing else belonged to our people.

Now enters the European forces who be-lieve they have found a “new world,” and by doing so gives them some right to occupy, rule, and control all others who do or wish to live here.

Not detailing any part of this the short version, most western native nations wel-comed these new people and saw no real problem living, sharing, and trading with them.

The self appointed government (federal)

who now claimed the land decided that the only way they could carry out their mandates and start building communities across this new land was to was to get the Indian people out of the way.

This government convinced the natives that if they were to move onto reserve land that had been identi� ed and located, then the federal government would support and take care of them. All natives would be exempt taxes and other such levies, in short become the native providers. (sounds like a good deal).

Fast forward to today and we have a fed-eral government who has passed laws affect-ing us that we were never consulted about, openly reneged on promises that got us onto reserves in the � rst place, and have never purchased or paid rent on all of the land base and resources they are collecting taxes from, including water, timber and minerals.

If you think seriously about this, you will have to agree that if we never sold it, never rented it, and never gave up control, then it must still belong to us and any revenue being collected from it should be ours plus the back payments over the past couple hundred years.

Looking at things using this logic you can see just why we, the First Nations people are a little bit ticked off and objecting to further such abuse and stalling by government to dealing with all of the issues.

Like many others have said, I too believe it is time to stop complaining and start act-ing in a responsible and professional manner by educating ourselves then using the tools available to � ght back. The Law Courts, the legal system, and the laws that govern what it and is not fair must now be our path to resolution and the bickering has to stop.

We are all aware that our native people are not about to give up the present way of life and move back into teepees, make our own clothing, avoid grocery stores, abstain from driving automobiles and go back to moccasin and horse power, live without electricity and inside plumbing. Could you see our youth without computers, cell phones, Ipods, radio, stereo, or any of the modern tools and gad-gets that support our communication system. “It’s time for us all to get real.”

Change must be made on reserves that prevent our youth from graduating school only to go on S/A (welfare), being responsible and going to work on a daily basis has and will never harm anyone and healthy people who don’t put in should not expect the sys-tem to keep them going because they choose not to work.

I do not offer a quick solution to the problems because there are many things not mentioned that would factor in, what I am saying is it is important that the non-native community (our neighbors) who purchased land in this area and do pay taxes should be properly informed so they to can have an opinion based on reality and truths.

I am a full member of the Lower Similka-meen Indian Band and do not live on reserve by choice. I do pay taxes and live on property that has been in my family for more than one hundred (100) years.

Regards, Darryl R. Brewer, Hedley

Eight year old Marlaina Gumpert of Keremeos examines one of the many books availableIn a contest hosted by the Keremeos Library through Similkameen Family Literacy.Book award entry forms are at the library and the deadline for en-tries is 2 p.m. Saturday, January 26.

Community Librarian, Debora Holley and As-sistant Librarian, Tracy Brightman are seen here with small part of a collection of books being offered locally through Similkameen Family Literacy. Book Award entry forms are at the library. Over 100 books titles for toddlers to early teens will be given out after 2 p.m. Saturday, January 26.

The Regional District Board of Directors took another look at the budget for 2013 on January 10.

The board agreed to set aside $10,000 for sign bylaw enforcement after board discussions surrounding the proliferation of signage in the regional district at a board meeting last fall.

A request for funding of Community Futures “Economic Gardening” initiative at $50,000 was turned down, while the board approved the expenditure of $30,000 for a seasonal trail crew and truck for work on the region’s recreational trails.

Upgrades to the region’s 911 emergency communications network at a projected cost of 1.648 million dollars will be financed at $136,000 per year over a 20 year period.

A total of $182,740 has been budgeted so far for grant in aid projects, including the fol-lowing:

Okanagan College - $100,000 (final con-tribution of $300,000 grant spread over three years to the Centre of Excellence)

SPCA - $9,000Okanagan-Si -

milkameen Healthy Living Fair - $5,000

Critteraid - $1,300Agur Lake Camp

- $35,440Okanagan Film

C o m m i s s i o n - $30,000

Directors dis-cussed the validity of funding for the

Agur Lake Camp, Critteraid and Community Futures Economic Gardening. Directors fa-vouring the Community Futures application were informed that the funding request could be reconsidered, perhaps for a lesser amount.

RDOS Finance Manager Warren Everton told the board that the tax requisition for 2013 was up while overall assessments were down. He noted that assessments were “somewhat variable.”

A question from one of the directors about whether or not a decline in assessed value meant that taxes would be increasing had Everton re-spond that tax increases tended to be “specific to a service,” part of a service that provides a direct benefit to the property owner (such as the purchase of park property by Okanagan Falls ratepayers ).

“So it would be difficult to predict individu-ally who will be hit (with an increase) and who won’t? clarifed Area “D” Director Tom Siddon, to which Everton responded that there was no simple answer - no “one size fits all” statement that could be made that would predict every resident’s tax hike.

It’s been a strange couple of weeks for politicians in the Boundary-Similkameen riding.

On Monday, January 21, NDP candidate, Marji Basso resigned her candidacy.

Basso resigned within days of Lib-eral candidate John Slater’s resigna-tion from the Liberal caucus.

It also comes after a mysterious blog post by political commentator Alex Tsakumis, who, last Thursday, published a column directed at both Slater and Basso, entitled “Please call me ASAP … I won’t wait past today.”

Tsakumis claimed to have “exceed-ingly disturbing information” about Slater and Basso that would hand the riding to Linda Larson, the new Liberal candidate, if released.

“The details of what I have are demonstrable proof that neither Basso nor Slater have the principled judgment to be in public life,” reads Tsakumis’ column, which requested both candidates call him before he decided to publish his information.

In response to an email questioning her on the subject of the Tsakumis column, Basso simply replied: “Try-ing to straighten it out now, thanks.” BC NDP Provincial secretary Jan

O’Brien said she received a letter from Basso Sunday, stating she was stepping down for personal reasons.

Tsakumis lists among his credits that he is a former provincial aide and a political advisor to former premier Bill VanderZalm during his time in office.

Basso, who was selected as candi-date just last year, has not made any public comments about her reasons for stepping away from the NDP candidacy.

“We accept Ms. Basso’s resigna-tion,” said O’Brien. “We will be work-ing with the local NDP constituency association to begin the candidate nomination process as quickly as possible.”

Tsakumis wouldn’t go on the re-cord with what his information was, though he does say he has verified it and its release would have been dam-aging both personally and politically to the two candidates. He is, however, satisfied with the outcome, now that both Basso and Slater have resigned and he has no plans to release the in-formation or continue with the story.

Slater recently reconsidered a decision he made last week to run independently in the spring election. His office has since confirmed that he will not run independently following this term.

Last week, the B.C. Liberal party would only say that they felt he has “personal issues” that would nega-tively affect his ability to represent the party, rumours came to light that Slater had issues with alcohol, something that both he and his rid-

ing president, Zach Poturica, denied.Slater endured what he called “a

brutal week” of questions about why the party had chosen not to support him.

“The past couple of weeks have been an extremely emotional roller coaster ride for me. This brutal ex-perience has shown me how tough smear- and fear-based politics can be on people and their families. It is too high a price to pay, at least for me,” said Slater, in his release. “I cannot put my family or myself through the continual barrage of innuendos and smear which have been launched against me, and which will continue until I withdraw as a candidate in the upcoming provincial election. So I say, “Enough.”

Slater said he was grateful for both the trust the people of the riding placed in him when he was elected as MLA, as well as to those who supported him over the past couple of weeks.

“Finally, I apologize to those I am letting down by dropping out of the race. I hope you can understand why I cannot continue with my campaign. It is just too much,” said Slater.

N e i t h e r Basso nor S l a t e r i s p r e s e n t l y available for c o m m e n t s r e g a r d i n g their deci-sions.

Regional district staff briefed directors about changes coming to collection of printed paper and packaging in the re-gional district curbside pickup programs at the board meeting on January 10.

Producers and manufacturers of printed paper and packaging have set up a stewar-ship group called Multi Materials British Columbia (MMBC).This organization will be responsible for the organization, funding and regulation of most paper and packaging residential recycling programs in B.C. The not for profit agency has expec-tations of recovering up to 75 per cent of all recyclable paper products, up from the current recovery rated of 50 to 57 per cent.

The province has required producers to start paying for and managing collec-tion of materials by May 19, 2014, which sets the stage for some very aggressive timelinesfor MMBC to set up processing

and collection standards, in addition to assessing and offering a lump sum to each participating local B. C. government that currently operates a recycling system. Gov-ernments will have the choice of receiving the cash and continuing to operate the system, or hand over the service to MMBC by May, 2014.

Solid Waste Coordinator Cameron Baughen informed the board that the new service would not be offered to commer-cial collection, or Princeton rural (Area “H”).

“The cost - the price the regional dis-trict will be paid for collection is still unknown,” Baughen informed the board, “there should be no decrease in the level of service offered, and the program fits in with what the RDOS is doing now.”

Baughen said they would “have to see” about pricing.

When the program begins in 2014, it will include an expanded list of materials collected, including single use cups, waxed paper milk cartons, soup tetra paks and styrofoam. It is anticipated that lower costs will be incurred by local governments as a result of the change.

Changes to recycling program discussedNew stewardship program comes into being in May of 2014

In one of my � ling cabinets I have a certificate stat-

ing that I have suc-cessfully ridden John Galt’s collection of unrideable bicycles. I got it at a conference held here at DRAO years ago. One of the conference events was a barbecue, tour of the observatory, and the challenge of taking on this very strange collection of bikes. One of them had to be pedalled backwards. On an-other each pedal was attached to a gear of different diameter, so your feet ended up going round at differ-

ent rates. Another had a castor instead of a front wheel, so the handlebars actually did noth-ing other than pro-vide somewhere to put your hands. The last had its steer-ing reversed. That one was a horror. John Galt was an amazing scientist, engineer, inventor

and practical joker. He was also one of Canada’s foremost radio astronomers and one of DRAO’s unique personalities. Sadly he died on Boxing Day.

In 1967 a group of Canadian scien-tists, one of whom was John Galt, made Canada the f irst country to success-fully demonstrate the radio astronomical technique of Very Long Baseline Inter-ferometry. Two radio telescopes, one in Al-gonquin Park, On-tario, and the other here at DRAO were used to independent-

ly collect data which could be combined later to emulate an antenna with a di-ameter equal to the distance between the antennas. This required extremely accurate clocks, a special data record-ing system and an equally special data processing facility to extract the data. The main objective was to develop an in-strument capable of imaging quasars, ob-jects that are small, very far away, and incredibly power-ful sources of radio emissions.

A couple of years after, an experiment was designed to use this technique to dig for even finer de-tail, which needed the antennas to be even further apart. In this case, on op-posite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. The Algonquin Radio Observatory was used in combina-tion with the radio

telescope operated by the UK Science Research Council at Chilbolton, in Southwest England. I was a very junior member of the UK team and got to � rst meet John when he was a member of the Canadian team that came to Chilbolton, bringing all the exot-ic equipment needed to do the project, and the expertise to operate it. This Canadian success earned John Galt and his colleagues the Rumford Medal. That joint project also established the connections that ul-timately pulled me across the Atlantic, and eventually here to DRAO. All the fun seemed to be on this side of the pond.

John was one of a generation of as-tronomers now dis-appearing. He was a combination of scientist, engineer, technologist, pro-grammer and what-

ever else was needed to get his projects done. When an oil sea l on DRAO’s 2 6 m t e l e s c o p e needed attention, he was 25m above the concrete apron, fixing it. John and I carpooled for a while, and the con-versations en route were fascinating. One day he turned up with one leg in a cast. He had been a victim of one of his unrideable bicycles.

Venus is very low in the eastern sky before dawn and Mars equally low in the Southwest, in sunset twilight. Ju-piter dominates the southern sky during the night. Saturn rises about 2 a.m. The Moon will be full on the 26th.

health

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

AND OUR THOUGHTS HAVE INCREDIBLE POWERBy Carole Fawcett, Vernon, BCPART IThe journey to get to where we want to be can be, frought with challenge so enormous that it may seem to be almost impossible. We sometimes really believe that we will not achieve what we hope to achieve. That thought has the power to stop us in our tracks. Everything begins in the mind and our thoughts have incredible power. We believe and subsequently achieve what we think. Sometimes our own minds are sabotaging us, due to the power of what we perceive to be real. This perception has been coloured by our life experience.Perhaps we have learned at the knee of a well intentioned parent who looked at life with skepticism; or perhaps we have had a run of negativity in the things that have or have not happened to us; or perhaps we unknowingly (subliminally) buy into the negative media that surrounds us. But there is a key to stopping those thoughts, brushing them aside and moving forward. Know that everything is temporary. We can influence the time that we have right now, in this moment but have no control over the future, so it is futile to worry ahead of when things will happen. ‘Temporary’ can be defined by our own personal measurement of time. Do you notice that when things are going well in your life, time seems to speed up? Then, when we are being challenged and are feeling stuck, time seems to drag like never before? A busy challenged brain moves forward with purpose, while a not so busy (and perhaps depressed) brain focuses on ”what isn’t” and this adds to the frustration and “grows” the issue that can keep us stuck on the ol’ gerbil wheel of our mind. There will always be issues in our lives that we have no control over, but the one thing that we do have con-trol over is ourselves and how we choose to respond and think about situations and events.Happiness and satisfaction come with having goals that keep life moving along in a positive direction. Whether our goal is to walk for 15 minutes daily, or to help someone else, or to stop snacking at 7:00 pm every evening, or to finally get to a project we have been procrastinating about, the payoff is the feeling of accomplishment when the goal has been achieved. It is important to have an achievable realistic goal every day if you feel yourself floundering about emotionally. Personal goals can assist us in sending positive messages to our brain putting us in the drivers seat of our thoughts. This will help us to stay focused on resolution, and keep us moving ahead with some positivity and purpose. Winston Churchill once said, “If you are going through hell, keep going”. He knew that by keeping focused on the end result (the goal) we would eventually come out the other end. Challenges in life are temporary – depending on how we think about them. If you feel there is a cloud hanging over you every step of the way, know that it is a temporary part of your life’s interesting journey. The great Churchill also said, “Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, give up. Never give up. Never give up. Never give up”.Carole’s Bio: Carole Fawcett is a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Registered Pro-fessional.

SAFER EAR CLEANINGSome people still use cotton-tipped applicator sticks to clean out their ears. Not a good idea. There’s a risk of puncturing the ear drum and pushing the wax in more deeply. Check with out pharmacists for safer ways of ear-cleaning.

GLUCOSAMINE AND OSTEOARTHRITISGlucosamine is often used at a dose of 500 mg three times daily to lessen the pain of osteoarthritis. It does help some people and is available without a prescription. Give it at least three months to see if it works. If it is not helping by that time, it probably isn’t going to.

CHICKEN SOUP REMEDYChicken soup is often used to aid in the recovery from viral conditions like colds. This idea goes back to 60 AD when the Greek physician Dioscorides recommended it for respiratory conditions. Does it work? Chicken meat contains the amino acid cysteine which is a mild decongestant. It’s worth a try.

COLD SORESCold sores are not caused by the common cold but by a virus called herpes simplex. They can be painful and unsightly and are contagious. They can be triggered by stress, sunlight, fever or menstruation. Some people get them twice yearly or oftener. As soon as you feel that tingling sensation on the lip, start treatment right away. Our pharmacists can help you choose an appropriate product.Knowledgeable, approachable, dependable...our pharmacists are all this and more. Let us fill your next prescription or advise you on the choice of a needed non-prescription product.

When retirement time rolls around, your RRSP eli-gible investments may be a significant source of your income – and you can make it even more significant by understanding – and taking full advantage of – its carry-forward potential.

Available RRSP contribution room may be carried forward to future years if the deduction is not claimed on the current year’s tax return. Add a few simple strategies and you can fill that carry-forward room in ways that will pay off for you now and later:

·Make a contribution now, take part of the deduction now Use a portion your contribution for this tax year to reduce your taxable income to the next marginal tax bracket.

·Make a contribution now, take the deduction later Make your maximum contribution to RRSP eligible investments in the current tax year but save the deduction for a later year when you know you’ll be in a higher tax bracket.

·Take an RRSP loan to fill your carry-forward room This strategy works when the interest rate is low enough and you repay the loan as quickly as possible, preferably in one year or two at the most. You can use your tax refund to repay part of the loan.

·Know your age-related options If you’re turning 71 this year and don’t have a spouse who is younger than 71, this is your last opportunity to make a con-tribution to your RRSP eligible investments, although any undeducted contributions can be carried-forward until the year of death. If you’re 72, have carry-forward room, and a spouse 71 or younger, you can make a contribution to a spousal RRSP eligible investments with your spouse as the annuitant.

·Shelter the non-eligible portion of a sever-ance/retiring allowance You can do this by using some or all of the allowance to fill RRSP contribution carry-forward room.

·Shelter a commuted pension paid out in cash If you commute your pension and have received an excess – and taxable – amount in cash, you can use your RRSP carry-forward room to shelter at least a

Understand RRSP carry-forward to pay

yourself forward

portion of the excess.·Decrease withholding tax When an employer

makes direct contributions to your RRSP eligible invest-ments, the employer need not apply withholding tax if the employee provides evidence that they have sufficient contribution room. The employee’s most recent Notice of Assessment from the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) is considered sufficient evidence of contribution room.

Make the most of your RRSP eligible investments and pay yourself forward in the most advantageous ways by talking over your life goals with your professional advisor.
