Two of three vehicles caught in a rock slide on Highway 3 remain at the scene on January 27. The slide took out power lines, cutting power to many Similkameen residents for up to an hour around noon Monday. Highway crews began clearing the debris Tuesday, but were forced to stop after addiditonal slides made the area too dangerous.

Highway 3 was closed inde� nitely af-ter a rockslide covered four lanes of the road with debris around noon Monday, January 27.

Police, Argo Road Maintenance, Fortis and Telus of� cials attended the scene, located about one kilometre west of the Crossings youth addiction treatment facility, approximately 11 kilometres west of Keremeos.

Boulders the size of pickup trucks presently cover four lanes of Highway 3. Several large boulders also crossed the highway into the river, damaging high voltage power lines on both sides of the highway.

RCMP on scene said the highway will remain closed until a geotechnical inspection of the mountain slope above the road is completed.

Moving rock high above the roadway

raised dust plumes on the mountain Monday afternoon, as the unstable, steep slope continued to make the area extremely dangerous.

Two of three vehicles caught in the slide remained on scene, as police cordoned off several hundred metres of roadway on either side of the slide, which is itself approximately 150 metres wide.

One woman was reported to have been taken to hospital with non life threatening injuries after driving her car through the slide as it was coming down.

Several Upper Similkameen residents working in Keremeos - as well as Lower Similkameen residents working in Princ-eton - said they would detour up Nickle Plate Road to Apex and Green Moun-tain Road in order to return to their homes while the road remains closed.

A rockfall on June 24, 2013, which occurred about two kilometres east of Monday’s slide, brought down power

lines and caused a grass � re, in addition to littering the highway with boulders.

Residents of the Similkameen were also without power for up to an hour Monday, afternoon after the slide damaged power lines between Hedley and Keremeos.

Student seating had to be hastily rearranged at Similkameen Elemen-tary Secondary School after the se-nior gym was plunged into darkness on the � rst day of exam week.

Principal Cate Turner said stu-dents were moved into classrooms to complete their exams before power was restored about 20 minutes later.

Downtown businesses in Kere-meos had to temporarily close their doors, without access to debit or credit card services. The power out-age was apparently widespread, as reports of power out was received from as far west as Princeton, north to Apex and east to Oliver.

Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation Regional Economics Operations Manager Myles Bruns (second from left) met with Mayor Bauer (far right) and Similkameen Country members Chris Mathieson (far left) and Tracie Russell on January 24 to discuss the local economy.


Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer met with Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation Regional Economics Operations Manager Myles Bruns following a “Coffee with the Mayor” session on Friday, January 24.

Along with representatives of Similkameen Country - Chris Mathieson and Traci Russell - the four toured Keremeos’ Seventh Avenue, where Bruns expressed surprise at the recent reversal of fortune on the village’s main street.

“It’s really encouraging, and rather unusual, espe-cially this time of year, to see so many new businesses on the main street,” he said.

“It presents an opportunity for the village to build some momentum.”

Bruns said that he and Bauer were discussing ways, the village could take advantage of that momentum, and get some economic-building leverage out of it.

“What’s particularly good about the new business is the fact that these are services the local population can use,” Bruns added.

In the past couple of months, Keremeos has seen the opening of Emmy’s Bake Shop, the Main Events Box-ing and Mixed Martial Arts Studio, K Mountain Mas-sage Therapy, and The Paw Spa pet grooming centre.

Bruns said the province has a number of initiatives available to help small business in small communities, and he and Bauer were currently discussing which one would best suit Keremeos.

“It’s great that Keremeos has a mayor who is inter-ested in pursuing business growth, “ Bruns said, “he keeps in constant touch with my office, seeking op-portunities to get the business community together, and working with the regional tourism strategy - to get everyone on the same page in an economic strategy for the village.”

Local economy highlight of main street walkaboutProvincial official impressed with Keremeos’ rebounding downtown core


Kyla Mathieson is the latest Kere-meos entrepreneur to open up shop on Seventh Avenue.

Mathieson recently open K Moun-tain Massage Therapy, located at 618A 7th Avenue.

With two and a half years experi-ence in the field, this is Mathieson’s first practice of her own. She is trained in therapeutic, (broken bones, activity related issues) rehabilitation (skeletal, muscular or nervous systerm) and systemic (multiple sclerosis, fibromy-

algia, arthritis related issues) massage therapies, so can help patients with a wide variety of health issues.

“It’s better if people focus on preventive therapy,” Mathieson said, “for example, an office work-er would benefit from a monthly session, just to get all the kinks out after days spent sitting at a desk.”

Mathieson said that she also provides patients with “homework”- extra exer-cises they can do at home to help reduce their symp-toms. She added that she has training in various styles of massage, including Swedish massage.

Mathieson’s clinic is ap-proved by most extended medical plans. She will be

open Wednesday and Thursday from 1 to 8 p.m., and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. She can be reached at 250-499-9029. A website should be up and active in the next few days.

New business provides another service in the downtown core

Kyla Mathieson opened up recently in downtown Keremeos.

EditorialIssue avoided

As budget time - and elections approach for all levels of government, there is a debate curiously missing from political forefronts - that being the rising ecomonic threat posed by unfunded public pension funds.

Any recent discussion about the issue has focussed on Canada Post’s unfunded pension liablity, currently 6.5 billion dollars.

But that is only the tip of the iceberg, as years of generous wage agreements in the public sector have resulted in an unfunded shortfall for public pension plans across the country likely in excess of $300 billion. That works out to $9,000 for every man, woman and child in Canada.

These taxpayer liabilities rarely make headlines, but the time is rapidly approach-ing when billions of dollars must be added to government budgets to pay the annual pension payouts of a retiring baby boomer generation.

That will get the attention of the vast ma-jority of those saddled with that $300 billion public service pension liability- the private sector workers, two-thirds of whom don’t have any kind of employer pension plan.

It’s time our politicians - and those on both sides of the pension equation - began serious discussions about conversion of these gold plated pensions into a form of the private sec-tor’s average pension plan - the “defined con-tribution” plans that determine payout based on accumulated value of invested funds.

It’s not going to be easy - or popular - for governments to move in this direction, but the status quo hasn’t been an option for many years.

We simply can’t afford to move increasing amounts of tax dollars from social programs like health care, to benefit pension plans that long ago lost any connection to financial real-ity.

The B.C. Supreme Court has rejected the provincial government’s effort to keep class size and special needs sup-port off the bargaining table with teachers, and ordered the government to pay $2 million in damages to the B.C. Teachers’ Federation.

In a ruling released Monday, Justice Susan Griffin said the B.C. government’s replace-ment legislation, passed in 2011, is as uncon-stitutional as the 2002 law called Bill 28 that removed class size and special needs support from union working conditions.

“The court concluded that the government did not negotiate in good faith with the union af-ter the Bill 28 decision,” Griffin wrote. “One of the problems was that the government repre-

sentatives were preoccu-pied with another strat-egy. Their strategy was to put such pressure on the union that it would provoke a strike by the union. The government representatives thought this would give govern-ment the opportunity to gain political support for imposing legislation on the union.”

The ruling strikes down the portions of the new legislation that have not already ex-pired.

BCTF president Jim Iker said the ruling re-turns contract language that was in place in 2002, and he expects that the province’s 60 school distr icts wil l have to rehire teachers and special needs as-sistants to reduce class size.

He said there were 1,200 education special-ists affected by the 2002 legislation, including teacher-librarians and counsellors.

“It’s good for us, it’s good for public educa-tion, it’s good for Brit-ish Columbia and for our students,” Iker said of Monday’s ruling.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said he is “disappointed” by the ruling, and ministry staff will study it before deciding on a possible appeal.

Fa s s b e n d e r s a i d he disagrees with the judge’s conclusion that the government tried to provoke a strike, and his focus is on reaching a new agreement.

“What we need to do is to review the judge’s ruling in detail to see what the implications are, but clearly my mes-sage to school districts, to parents, is it’s busi-ness as usual in our schools,” Fassbender said.

NDP education critic Rob Fleming called the ruling “real blow to the B.C. Liberals’ cred-ibility,” adding it traces

back to Premier Christy Clark’s time as educa-tion minister in 2002.

Keremeos RCMP are seeking the public’s help in identifying three young males who are accused of assault-ing a 14 year old Keremeos female in the back alley near the Keremeos library at ap-

proximately 6 p.m. on Janu-ary 16.

The victim told police that three young males in dark hoodies approached her from behind, pushed her down and attempted to grope her.

She was able to break away and run home.

The victim is reported to have suffered bruises to her back and face in the incident.

Police are continuing their investigation and attempt-ing to identify the attackers involved in this incident.

RCMP responding to a motor vehicle accident in the Nighthawk Junction area ended up in an acci-dent themselves.

An RCMP cruiser was sideswiped late Thursday morning, January 23, while investigating a previous incident involving a vehicle rollover a half kilometre east of Nighthawk Junc-tion.

A 2003 Volkswagen Jetta was rounding a curve of freshly sanded highway when it lost control and struck the police cruiser.

Two occupants in the Jetta, in addition to the police officer and the driver of the vehicle involved in the original accident, were taken to hospital for treat-ment of minor injuries.

All victims have since been released from hospital.

Police continue to investi-gate the incident.

A 60 year old Keremeos female driver failed to nego-tiate a curve on Highway 3 Sunday evening, January 26, ending up in the ditch. The woman was taken to hospi-tal with non life threatening injuries. No charges are pend-ing, as the driver suffered a medical condition at the time of the accident.

Keremeos man re-arrestedKeremeos resident Mike

Minchau, recently released from custody, is again behind bars, this time facing more than 20 criminal charges.

On January 23, Keremeos RCMP arrested Minchau, aged 30) at a local residence for bail violations and prop-

erty crime offences. He had just been released from custody January 17 on $4,000 bail after facing more than 10 property crime charges.

His release was also con-ditional in that he was to stay away from the Keremeos area.

Minchau was charged Jan-uary 24 with four counts of breach of recognizance and six property crime offences, bringing the total charges against him to 21.

Keremeos mayor attends Highway 3 mayor’s conference in CastlegarKeremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer attended a

Highway 3 Coalition meeting held in Castlegar earlier this week.

Following the meeting, the mayor was pleased to announce that the province is making plans to re-surface the section of Highway 3 between Barcello Road in Cawston and Nighthawk Junction.

The mayor has been lobbying for improvements to this portion of Highway 3 for some time. Nu-merous cracks in the pavement make for a rough ride for motorists along this stretch of highway.

The resurfacing is expected to be completed this year.

Rough section of Highway 3 between Cawston and U.S. border will be resurfaced this year

Citizens right to challenge and question pipeline proposals

To the Editor: Wow, what an amazing community!This past holiday season the BC SPCA’s South Okana-

gan Similkameen branch in Penticton was overwhelmed with an outpouring of generosity from this amazing community.

Not only did we receive donations of food, blankets and toys around the Christmas tree for our shelter animals but thousands of dollars in donations, many in-kind dona-tions and unbelievable support for the shelter.

As the new manager of this fantastic branch, it is indeed

very heartwarming to be part of this community and know that there are so many incredibly caring “animal” people out there.

So, I would like to thank everyone for their ongoing commitment to the branch and invite the public to come and see the facility and think of choosing us for any future adoptions.

We are open to the public from 12-5 p.m. daily and closed on Sunday.

Corinne Ross, Branch Manager,BC SPCA South Okanagan Similkameen Branch

Not enough money to pay for everything the village needs To the Editor:I just read in the Review how the infrastructure in the

village is aging and in need of repair; surprise surprise. When the KID extorted a positive vote from the rate-

payers they said it was because the engineers said that we needed a reservoir - they neglected to say that they (the engineers) said that the infrastructure had to be fixed first. All of those who had voted no, twice, knew that the village infrastructure needed work, yet the powers that be insisted on doing it their way and put the cart before the horse.

Now there will be a huge cry from the village office that

they need more money to fix the problem.The village and the KID had better look long and

hard at what they are about to do because the next thing you know we will be like Detroit and the village will be bankrupt.

It is time that the people who continue to use the tax-payers as their own personal bank be kicked to the curb. Elections are coming.

Can’t pay no more, Dawn Thurston, Keremeos

To the Editor:Thank your, Tom Isherwood, for a timely and

insightful letter of Thursday, January 3. This person, Gwyn Morgan, is confusing the care

of our environment, and the caring for our peoples and animals that occupy the areas, that will be affected by proposed pipeline, is in contrast to the fanatic necessity of corporate greed. I am glad to say that there has been no extremist actions made by those voicing concerns, regarding this possible Northern Gateway Pipeline.

Tom Isherwood points out how corporate greed in the past caused loss of fish on the East Coast by over fishing. As well, we have ongoing oil spills and leaks. It is our right to protest - it is our land!

In my opinion, the oil corporations advertisements only remind me of the greedy determination to control our bountiful productive lands. They, my dear Gwyn Morgan, are the zealots. They care only for the money to be made - not for the land, not for the environment; and certainly not for the people involved. We have lost habitat and valuable resources in the past.

So these expensive proposals have got to be ques-tioned, and examined. Certainly, we can not depend upon those elected persons, alone, to make our deci-sions.

It is time for everyone to stand up for what we hold dear to us. Speak up. The time has come to use people power.

Food for thought: Why can’t this bitumen be refined

prior to transorting it by pipeline? Why can’t the Chi-nese develop their own oil industry?

An old pipe liner told me that most of these pipe lines are fifty years old, and may be dangerously thin. This may be the pressing need for new pipelines. Also, aging railway lines and oil tank cars are dangerously outdated. Perhaps, it is time for the federal and pro-vincial governments and corporate oil to step back, and consider that in their haste to make that ever loving profit, that they have managed to put “the cart in front of the horse” and therefore can go nowhere.

Flo Winfrey, Olalla

Keremeos council presented with 2013 year end public works report

Council heard a summary of work performed by Kere-meos Village Public Works in 2013.

Staff shortages provided a challenge for public works in 2013 as one staff member took four months parental leave and two others lost 34 days due to illness and short term disability.

Training for certification in wastewater treatment con-tinues as only the village foreman has acquired wastewater treatment 2 certification at this time.

The village’s trees have been inspected and found to be in reasonable health, while a keyless entry program initiated for the village’s public works buildings continues.

There were no major road repair projects undertaken in the village in 2013, although there were a number of large patching jobs done.

Issues surrounding an obstuction near an isolation valve in one of the village’s sludge pumps continue, as last year’s efforts to reduce or eliminate the blockage have failed to resolve the problem. The issue has resulted in costs in excess of $4,000 so far, and efforts continue to resolve the blockage.

A new sludge pump will be ordered this year, at a cost of $12,000.

The village’s readerboard, located in front of the tour-ist Infocentre, has been inoperative since a thunderstorm in August took out some circuitry. Electrical interference with an underground cable continues to impede the opera-tion of the board. The village and Fortis are working on a resolution to the issue.

Capital projects update- The public works wash bay pad and drain system is

on hold pending resolution of issues surrounding freezing

of the oil separator / floor drain. There are also concerns surrounding the new building’s height that needs to be addressed.

- The Upper Bench sewer extension has a prelimi-nary estimated cost of $2,000,000. Final design will be completed when grant funding becomes available.

- Public works purchased a 2014 F550 truck from Skaha Ford in Penticton. The truck is currently having crane, plow and dumping flatdeck components installed, and should be delivered to the village by the end of the month.

- Victory Hall washroom ac-cessibility upgrade will be under-taken, pending receipt of federal government grant funding.

- Memorial and Pine Park washroom replacements will be undertaken this spring. The proj-ects will be re-tendered by the end of this month.

- Final report on the dike inspection is due in February. No major concerns were found regarding the dike.

- A plan to reduce the number of light heads on the village’s street lights is in the works. The plan would amount to a consid-erable capital cost saving as no rewiring would be necessary.

Grade six and seven classes at Similka-meen Elementary Secondary School par-ticipated in Trades Exploration Week on January 27.

Trades people, including Chef J.C. Richter from Seventh Street Diner, Valu Plus Foods butcher Randy Watson and Valu Plus Foods Baker Theo Walta were on hand to provide their expertise during a day long session at SESS. The initiative was a joint effort between School District 53, the Industry Training Authority, local trades people, and local business.

Known as YES 2 IT Trades Exploration Day, the purpose of the program is to allow students to experience trades, said SESS Tech Ed instructor Boyd Turnbull.

Last year, members of the local con-struction trade came to the school to give students a sampling of construction trades.

Turnbull said the trade selections are based on survey results from students and from an assessment of “what we have going on here, the tourist industry,” said Turnbull.

“These high school programs are de-signed to provide a jump start to students looking for a career in trades,” Turnbull added.

Students were busy learning roast tying, food plate arranging and pastry glazing during the SESS event.

Schools in Oliver and Osoyoos will also experience Trades Day this week.

On February 1, Cawston Hall will be rocking with two dance bands,

There will be a silent auction in the WI Room consisting of artistic interpreta-tions of the hall’s old wooden chairs.

There will also be door prizes, 50/50, and much more.

Refreshments along with home baked goodies will be available by do-

nation in the hall’s kitchen.

This is sure to be a winter break out as the hall will be decorated as a tropical theme, so

wear your Hawai-ian/tropical attire. There will be a corner that will be set up in the WI room to have your picture taken in

this theme. This fundraiser

will help us main-tain the building especially the roof which is in need of repair. The

Cawston Hall is an integral part of our community so come out and have some fun while supporting it.

Keremeos Village Council heard Sherry Philpott-Adhikary discuss a proposal for a Keremeos Ambassador Program at the Janu-ary 20 meeting of council.

Council also received letters from the Southern Interior Local Government Association (SIL-GA) requesting nominations and

resolutions for the upcoming con-vention taking place in late April in Penticton.

Staff presented year end bylaw enforcement statistics to council. Complaints were up 20 per cent in 2013 over the previous year, from 59 to 71. Property maintenance complaints headed the list, fol-

lowed by dog complaints. Costs for bylaw enforcement

were up from $17,870.18 in 2012 to $19,246.96 in 2013.

Building inspection costsStaff also discussed building

inspection services revenues and expenditures.

New residential permits were up in 2013, from four to six, with one new commercial building ap-plication. There was a significant decline in renovation permits, from

28 to eight in 2013.Revenues from building permit

fees were down approximately $1,200, while expenditures rose approximately $2,900.

Building inpsectors (contracted from the regional district) worked in the village two half days each week

Staff introduced a proposed building bylaw to council contain-ing minor amendments designed to standardize risk undertaken

by municipalities when regulating construction in their jurisdiction. A section pertaining to the con-struction of swimming pools that provides guidelines for security and drainage was also added to Keremeos’ building bylaw.

Council completed the eve-ning’s work by passing a number of bylaws pertaining to the build-ing bylaw, sewer rates, and munici-pal ticket information

HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR SEASONAL ALLERGIES

It happens to millions of people every year. The stuffy head, watery eyes, runny nose and sneezing that signals seasonal allergies. The good news is that there are numerous mind, body, spirit remedies that can help you feel better. International studies show that natural approaches are highly effective in improving allergies. So before you decide to get prescription or over-counter drugs please consider the natural way of approaching the symptoms of allergies.There are a few factors that you should consider if suffering from allergies.Diet: About 20 % of our immune system cells are in the intestines, so diet plays a big role in immune function. Fruits and vegetables with the deepest hues, such as berries, spinach and red grapes, are highest in antioxidants, which help prevent the free radical damage to cells that weakens immunity. Vitamins C and E and beta-carotene (also found in brightly coloured produce) have anti-inflamma-tory properties that may help decrease the swelling in the airways that causes congestion.Stay away from sugar, food additives and avoid excessive dairy and wheat intake! These are known to produce excess mucus, which causes congestion and nasal irritation.Eat spicy foods, they can increase blood flow, which brings oxygen to the nasal passages and helps thin and eliminate mucus.Drink lots of water, fluids help clear airways by hydrating mucous membranes. The wetter the membrane, the thinner the mucus and the more easily it can drain.Body: Exercise on a regular basis! When your body is exposed to an allergen it releases histamine, a substance that causes inflamma-tion and irritation in the airways and eyes. Moderate aerobic exercise strengthens you immune system, making it less sensitive to al-lergens. Exercise also helps organs affected-such as the nasal passages, lungs and sinuses-function optimally by improving blood flow.Relaxation and breathing exercises help to relax muscles and thus open up airways. Lowering you stress levels enables your immune system to function better and reduce the production of histamines.If you are really stuffed up, steam your face over steaming hot water, covering your head with a towel, or in a hot shower.Homeopathic Remedies for AllergiesAllium Cepa (Red Onion): Reactions similar to the reaction when cutting raw onions. Burning in eyes with light sensitivity. Runny, watery nose with sneez-ing.Ambrosia (Hogweed): Watery runny nose with stuffed up feeling in nose and head. Irritation of airways with asthmatic cough and wheezing. Burning and intolerable itching of eyelids.Euphrasia (Eye-Bright): Eye symptoms with constant watering, irritation, burning and swelling; pressure in eyes with full feeling, inflammation with dis-charge. Catarrh with violent cough.Sabadilla (Cevadilla Seed): Spasmodic, violent sneezing with itchy, watery nose. Catarrh with frontal pain in sinuses and eyes. Person is chilly and very sensitive to cold.Katharina’s Bio: Katharina started practicing full time in 1999 in Red Deer Alberta and had a busy family practice until October 2004. With her husband they decided to move to the beautiful Okanagan and now has setup her practice in Osoyoos. The philosophy of her practice is to be a family practitioner that can be approached by all family members, including pets, for any kind of ailments at any time.

GINGER FOR TREATING NAUSEA

A natural method of treating nausea could be using capsules containing ginger. They usually come in 500 mg capsules and a dose of one or two capsules every four hours is sometimes helpful. If used for motion-sickness the dose should be taken about 2 hours before traveling.

LIGHT SMOKER STILL AT RISK

If you think of yourself as a “light smoker” ... only 1 - 4 cigarettes a day, you are still more at risk to die more from ischemic heart disease than a non-smoker. Lung cancer is still a much higher risk also. Recommendation? Quit altogether.

VACCINATIONS TEACH IMMUNE SYSTEM

A good way to look upon vaccination is that it teaches the immune system to defend itself from disease. Immunization has saved millions of lives and has prevented so much suffering and disability since the concept was � rst discovered by Edward Jenner back in 1796 for the treatment of smallpox.

If you have any concerns about immunization and it’s bene� ts, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. We’d be happy to discuss any concerns you may have about this very important subject.
