Jo Stacey, daughter of Keremeos resident Marge Stacey, was in the village this week visiting from Edmonton. She introduced her mother’s Yorkshire Terrier, Zipper, to the new Keremeos dog park where he soon found one of the two hydrants installed by the village’s maintenance department. He knew exactly what to do with it, too.

Conservation conversation

South Okanagan Similkameen Conservation Program Man-ager Bryn White continued her conversation with the regional district board regarding the establishment of a conservation fund at the July 17 Planning and Development Committee meet-ing.

White, who was last before the board on May 8, was seeking further support for the requisi-tion of funding through taxation to support land conservation projects within the regional district.

Telling the board “Timing is why we are here,” White offered an update to the board regard-ing the establishment of a service area in the regional district to provide funding for conservation projects throughout the regional district. She noted that a deci-sion to hold a referendum on the subject in conjunction with the upcoming fall municipal elections would have to be made immi-nently in order to get the ques-tion on the ballot in time for the election.

White said the goal of a regional conservation fund would “need to be signi� cant’ in order to attract leveraged contributions from outside the public sector. She suggested $500,000 annually in regional district support would provide adequate funding.

“Eighty-six per cent of residents have said they would support a dedicated conservation

fund,” she said, noting there was strong public support morally, but not to make voluntary con-tributions. She added there was “soft support” for a tax levy.

White further stated her research indicated public support for a levy of between $10-$25 per household. At $13.50 per house-hold throughout the regional district, the SOSCP could achieve their $500,000 target, White said.

Chief Administrative Of� cer Bill Newell said the new service would represent a “signi� cant departure from the RDOS parks program, but one that � ts with the regional district’s strategic plan. Although he acknowledged other regional districts in the province were already involved in similar programs, he said the establishment of such a service would be “leading edge,” not-ing there were other groups that could be leveraged for additional funds.

White suggested an initial project for the conservation fund could be related to water and water quality, in response to a question by Penticton Director Gary Litke.

Area “D” Director Tom Sid-don advised the board to do its homework before making a deci-sion on funding, while Cawston Director George Bush said he preferred to see a referendum on the subject.

“We need to talk to the tax-payers about this,” he said, “if not this year, then next,” adding such a fund would “beat a national park.”

news

A motorist in Keremeos hopefully learned a les-son on the morning of July 9 after police were noti� ed of a dog left in a vehicle on Seventh Avenue. Police were called and were able to rescue the dog without damaging the vehicle, leaving the motorist / dog owner with some explaining to do and, hopefully, learning a lesson in the process. Temperatures are pre-dicted to continue soaring over the next week or so, citizens are asked to be particularly aware of hazards to pets and people when temperatures get dan-gerously hot outside.

High water consumption in Olalla during the recent hot spell is a concern to regional district of-� cials.

Regional District Okanagan Si-milkammen Public Works Manager Doug French said over the weekend of July 12-13, more than 1.1 million gallons of water was pumped to the Olalla reservoir.

“Everybody is watering,” French

said, “the increased useage is in-creasing pumping costs.”

RDOS Water Conservation Am-bassador Zoe Kirk said pumping ef� ciencies aren’t being maintained during the skyrocketing water use-age.

“Maintaining reservoir capacity at 90 per cent is an ideal volume,” she said, “but with current useage lower ef� ciencies are taking place.” Kirk said there is a concern that operating at lower capacity could affect the amount of water available in the reservoir to the community

in the event of a power outage or a � re.

“With the number of � res break-ing out around us, it is important to try to maintain the reservoir at optimum levels,” she said.”Twenty-six per cent of our water useage is for outdoor landscaping - people are encouraged to be conscientious about their water useage, and ad-here to their water allotments and restrictions, to ensure we have our water at optimum levels in the event of an emergency.”

Keremeos’ biggest downtown business was back to normal on Wednesday July 16, following Monday’s devastating � re.

Valu Plus Foods suffered smoke damage as a result of the Keremeos Hotel � re on July 14. The store was closed the day of the � re as well as on Tuesday as staff and Interior Health combed through the store to assess the damage.

“Most of the damage occurred upstairs” said Man-ager Shannon Forner, who said the last couple of days had been exhausting.

“The whole store was covered in smoke during the � re. We’ve been through everything with Interior Health. I’ve got a huge dumpster out back - anything that might be suspect as a result of the smoke has been thrown out.”

The store was busy, as local shoppers and visitors got caught up on their grocery shopping.

Right next door, the pile of rubble that remains of the 108 year old Keremeos Hotel sat, a security fence erected around the perimeter of the property. The odour of smoke was strong in the area for several days following the � re.

Police continued their investigation into the � re last week.

Wrong Turn Tavern application The Wrong Turn Tavern’s request for a patron

participation endorsement on their liquor license was

approved after the board received a petition and com-ments from the gallery. Mayor Bauer noted there were only two dissentling comments on the petition, after hearing from several in favour of the request from those in the gallery.

Parks bylaw amendment Council adopted the amended parks regulation by-

law to allow activity at the village’s new dog park.Village Chief Administrative Officer Laurie Taylor

told council the village’s maintenance department was planning to install two decommissioned fire hydrants in the dog park for the canines to enjoy.

Community forestsThe mayor reported the Lower Similkameen Com-

munity Forest harvested only 6,000 cubic metres last year. He said harvesting was limited this year as high elevation logging in the Ashnola required cable log-ging, with workers in short supply these days. He said 30,000 cubic metres are available this year.


The Transit Future Bus came back to the South Similka-meen for a second round of community consultations on Wednesday, July 22.

The Transit Future Team travelled with the bus, seeking feedback on the proposed transit network that was developed following phase one consultations. The team was also available to answer questions.

The Transit Future Bus first toured the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys last fall, seeking public opinion in order to develop the region’s 25-year Transit Future Plan. During the first phase more than 1100 people shared their vision for the future of transit.

The Transit Future Bus is a 40-foot decommissioned

bus that has been transformed in to an interactive public consultation tool. It was set up in the parking lot of the Keremeos Infocentre on July 23 from 1 - 3 p.m.

The bus will also visit Okanagan Falls, arriving in the com-munity on Saturday, July 26 from 1 - 4 p.m.

news

Laurel Dierdorf salvaged some business items from the wreckage of the Keremeos Hotel on Friday, July 18. A portion of her liquor store was left relatively untouched by the July 14 fire.A police investigation of the fire took place on July 17.Fire examiners attended the scene and exam-ined the site. The preliminary investigation has not established the exact cause of the fire, however it does not appear to be an arson.

Waterfront land swap expected to restore trail access in Kaleden

Referring to it as having “a long history,” Area “D” Director Tom Siddon recommended regional district board approval for a proposed land exchange on the Kaleden waterfront at the July 17 Regional District Okanagan Similkameen board meeting.

FrontCounter BC referred the Crown land applica-tion for a land exchange / Crown Grant at the northern end of Alder Avenue. The land exchange is taking place to formalize public access to a portion of the KVR trail that has been in dispute with a local landowner over the past three years.

The agreement would also facilitate environmental remediation of a controversial shoreline road that was built in the early 1990s.

“This (agreement) seems to resolve a problem that sometimes seemed unresolvable,” Siddon said to his fellow board members. “It allows for a permanent con-nection between Alder Street and the KVR trail to the north.”

Siddon said the agreement would also mean the controversial marsh road would no longer be used to access the nearby Sickle Point property. He said the matter involved a dispute over who owned the water-front property.

“The province is just trying to get this nasty issue put to bed,” he said.

Siddon also noted the local Advisory Planning Committee’s approval to the land swap came in a split 50-50 vote.

A Crown owned piece of property at the end of Alder Street that is currently under private party lease

was not part of the land swap, Siddon said.

The agreement also suggests access to Sickle Point will be creat-ed along the KVR trail as a single vehicle driveway, with no additional rights of access to Sickle Point, thereby restricting the property from further subdivi-sion.

news tip! Let us know!

EditorialFire season is

anything but overThere has been a bit of relief for BC Forest

Service wildfire crews this week as tempera-tures cooled, along with predictions of rain.

This year has seen a number of fires break-ing out in the region - fortunately, none of any significance has occurred yet in the Similkameen.

Last week, while most of the village was preoccupied with the Keremeos Hotel fire, forestry crews were dousing a lightning strike near the Ashnola valley. Later in the week, the KDVFD was called to the former Farm-workers Campground to finish extinguishing a campfire that was getting away from some campers on the river flats.

It’s important for residents not to let their guard down. Traditionally, the worst month of the fire season in the Similkameen is August, and so far, longer term forecasts are predicting a return to warm sunny conditions by the weekend.

This fire season is reminiscent of the 2003 and 1994 seasons in the South Okanagan and Similkameen.

On July 20, 1994, the Garnet fire began in Penticton. That fire took two weeks to bring under control, and resulted in one of the larg-est Emergency Social Services responses in British Columbia history at the time.

Most of us still remember the 2003 fire sea-son and the Okanagan Mountain Park fire, which began on August 16, followed by the Vaseux Lake fire which ignited on August 22.

The rain expected earlier this week won’t be enough to quench the tinder dry condi-tions prevalent in our region, especially if the weather turns hot and dry once again.

So far, this region has been very lucky this year; it’s important to remember the worst of the season may not yet be upon us.

Let’s all be aware - and be careful out there.

When the audited public accounts confirmed a $353 million surplus for the last fiscal year, B.C. Liberal political staff were quick to remind reporters of the NDP’s main theme from last year’s election campaign.

Pages of election quotes from almost every NDP MLA were waiting to be distributed. It was a “bogus budget,” one of the more polite tags applied to the government’s pre-election fiscal plan.

“It underestimates the costs in a whole bunch of ministries and we’re going to have to review that because all of the decisions that we propose in our platform will have to be implemented,” said then-leader Adrian Dix, describ-ing the NDP’s plans to tax and spend more.

Skeena MLA Robin Austin targeted health care in the budget debate: “Bearing in mind that our population is actu-

ally increasing, bearing in mind that our population is aging, I think it’s very unrealistic to think we can actually limit health care expenditures to 2.7 per cent.”

As it turned out, health care spending grew by just over two per cent. It still went up by $360 million from the previous year, but after annual increases of six or seven per cent had become the norm, this is quite an achievement. New agreements remain to be negotiated with doc-tors and nurses, so we’re unlikely to see the same cost control results for the current year.

Ottawa’s health care transfer payment formula has changed, and increases are to be capped at three per cent a year by 2016, so this is the kind of spending restraint all provinces are expected to produce.

Education was the only other ministry to receive significant extra funding last year, up $299 million despite continuing enrol-ment decline. Like health,

the education budget goes up every year, and these increases, along with strong student performance re-sults, expose the rhetoric of the B.C. Teachers’ Federa-tion about a cash-starved system for what it is.

But the biggest fabrica-tion of last year’s election was the “debt free B.C.” slogan emblazoned on the side of Premier Christy Clark’s campaign bus.

The public accounts confirm that the province’s total debt rose to just over $60 billion, the latest of a series of increases since 2008. The much-touted balanced budget is on the operating side, while the province continues to pile up debt to pay for the Port Mann mega-project, hospi-tals, schools and other big infrastructure.

“We’re borrowing to build as opposed to paying for the groceries,” said. Finance Minister Mike de Jong.

“Debt free B.C.” was not an outright misrepre-sentation, merely one of the most far-fetched prom-

ises ever delivered in the history of B.C. politics. The legislature is to convene in October so the B.C. Liber-als can pass a taxation framework for the nascent liquefied natural gas indus-try, which the government hopes will generate the revenues to ultimately pay off the province’s $60-bil-lion mortgage.

The cabinet is expected to green-light the Site C dam on the Peace River this fall, a decade-long project estimated to cost $8 billion.

Along with the pub-lic accounts, the finance ministry released a list of surplus land sales. The sale of 50-odd properties, some of them closed schools, netted the provincial trea-sury about $310 million, which accounts for most of the surplus.

Was this “selling off the family silverware to try and balance the books,” as now-NDP leader John Horgan termed it before the election? It’s certainly not a revenue source to be matched next year.

B.C. back in black and deep in debtBy Tom Fletcher Black Press

The Review, Thursday, July 24, 2014—

opinion

It’s happened to all of us at some point. You go to a store, pre-order something, pay for the purchase and wait for it to arrive. But what happens when the order never comes in? What if you don’t get what you paid for?

The remedy is simple: you demand a refund.

This summer, British Columbians have been put in that exact situation, thanks to the ongoing labour dispute between the pro-vincial government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF).

Taxpayers paid more than $200 million in taxes for educational services which were not delivered in June. Therefore, we should get a refund.

The teachers’ dispute started with three weeks of rotating strikes, which saved gov-ernment $18.5 million per week. When they went to a full strike, the savings grew to $80 million for each of the last two weeks of June. More has been saved with the cancella-tion of summer school.

Government has a responsibility to refund that money, at least $200 million, to the people who paid for the educational service but didn’t receive it. That works out to roughly $40 for every man, woman and child in B.C. For a family of four, that would be $160 – certainly a welcome amount for households who burned through vacation days or had to hire unexpected childcare during the strike.

When the Canadian Taxpayers Federa-tion first suggested a refund, the BCTF’s social media horde lashed back, claiming

that the money “belonged” to education. But tax dollars actually belong to taxpayers – not to government, not to “the system,” and certainly not to labour unions.

Refunding this money would be a great way to support local communities. Taxpay-ers would have a few extra dollars to put into their local economies, rather than seeing it languish in Victoria.

More importantly, it would also keep up the pressure on the provincial government that comes with fiscal restraint. The last thing taxpayers should want to see after this protracted labour disruption is the govern-ment buckling to the BCTF’s demands and rewarding teachers for striking by handing them the $200 million.

The BCTF believes itself to be a “so-cial movement,” which makes it virtually impossible to negotiate a deal with. While each and every other government union has settled two or three reasonable contracts with the province over the past six years, the BCTF has engaged in bitter personal attacks and strayed far beyond a mandate to pro-mote education, instead fighting every major economic development in the province.

For those who believe public education is underfunded in B.C., they could take their $40 refund cheque and donate it to a local school district foundation. Others could use the money how they see fit.

Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender have been suspi-ciously tightlipped about how the strike sav-ings will be spent. If you believe that money should be refunded to taxpayers, please sign our petition at www.taxpayer.com.

Time to refund taxpayers for school disputeBy Jordan Bateman Canadian Taxpayers Federation

Recent conversations with constituents who are just starting their application process for Canada Pension and Old Age Security ben-efits are bringing to light issues that younger members of the Canadian workforce should keep in mind sooner rather than later, in order to avoid unpleasant surprises when retirement time comes.

Mr. and Ms. Boomer have always been well regarded wherever they have lived. They even spent some time working in another country for Canadian and foreign employers before they decided to come back home and settle down. When the Boomers applied for their Canada Pension and Old Age Security benefits they had many obstacles to overcome before they saw their first cheque or direct deposit.

Suddenly they had to start a frantic search for the old documents that proved when they left Canada, where they worked, for how long and when they returned. They wished they kept their old passports stamped with all the necessary dates. It would have been helpful if they had kept those old airplane tickets or other documents that showed the dates they entered the foreign country and when they returned to Canada. Keeping old pay stubs or staying in touch with their foreign employer would have been helpful, too. Now it is crunch time—trying to retrieve any useful documents from 35 to 40 years ago, especially from a foreign country, before their savings run out (if they still have some left).

This scenario should come as a warning to all Canadians who are travelling abroad for work and still plan to retire in Canada in some distant future. Predicting what regulations will

be in force 30 years from now is impossible but it is always better to plan ahead. If you immi-grated to Canada as a child on your parents’ passport or visa, you might want to start look-ing for that old passport. Even if you obtained Canadian citizenship in the meantime, you will still be required to submit the document show-ing when you first landed in Canada with your pension applications. If you do not have your original landing document, you will need to request a Verification of Entry from Citizen-ship and Immigration Canada. It might take some time to get the document, especially if Immigration is required to do a manual search through its records—if you arrived to Canada before computers were put to official use for record keeping.

Service Canada advises people to apply for their Old Age Security benefits and the Guar-anteed Income Supplement up to 11 months before they turn 65. In April 2013 Service Canada implemented a process to automati-cally enroll seniors who are eligible to receive the OAS pension. If you can be automati-cally enrolled, Service Canada will send you a notification letter the month after you turn 64. If you do not receive this letter, you must apply for your OAS. If you have always lived in Canada and have kept your personal records in a safe place, no prob-lem. Otherwise, you might want to start looking for those old immigration docu-ments and get a head start on what can be a lengthy process.

Applying for a pension can be a lengthy process if you’ve worked overseas By Alex Atamanenko MP, BC Southern Interior

history

The late historian Bill Barlee wrote in his book “The Guide to the Similkameen” the following history about the beginnings of the Kere-meos Hotel:“In 1900, Upper Keremeos and Keremeos Centre, two other town-sites on the arid � ats to the north-east were the only two, and rival towns in the district. But soon Mr. George Kirby, the astute postmas-ter in Upper Keremeos realized that when the Victoria, Vancouver and Eastern Railway was pushed through from Oroville to Hedley the line would be built on the level ground close to the Similkameen River.

He moved quickly and purchased a tract of land from the Keremeos Land Company. By 1906 he had moved his hotel down to the � ats and Keremeos came into being.”

The V.V. and E. arrived the fol-lowing year, assuring the success of the Keremeos Hotel, which ended up being a stone’s throw away from the Keremeos train station - in actu-ality, just across the street.

George Kirby died in 1913, but his wife continued to run the hotel for many years afterwards. Long time resident and former Kermeos Mayor Francis Peck remembers having tea at the hotel many times.

“I remember Mrs. Kirby, walk-ing down the street in high boots and old fashioned clothing, with her dogs,” Peck said, “my mother and I had many teas with Mrs. Kirby.” Pecks recollections are from the era when the hotel’s main entrance was at the corner of Seventh Street and Veterans Avenue.

“I have a lot of memories of that place,” she said.

It appears that throughout most of its life, the Keremeos Hotel provided food and beverages. In a photo of the building, taken in the late ‘20s or early ‘30s, signage adver-tised a restaurant, liquor store and lunches as being available.

The Keremeos Hotel had a chameleon-like existence through the years, its facade changing many times. By the 1950s, it had changed from a railway hotel to a motor ho-tel, catering to those in automobiles. The building had shed its original clapboard siding by this time for a stucco � nish. The entrances were now located mid-building, with separate entrances for “gentlemen” and “ladies and escorts.”

Walter McGee was the proprietor in 1966, when Cawston resident Ken Helm arrived in the valley.

“It was the sense of community the hotel had, that I most remem-ber,” Helm recalled earlier this week. Ken arrived in Keremeos in October of 1966, only to � nd the motels in town still booked with summer farm labourers.

“I got a room at the Keremeos Hotel for $10 a week, and when the McGees realized I was staying for some time, they dropped that to $30 a month,” he said.

Ken stayed on the third � oor, which was taken off the hotel sev-eral years ago.

“I think it was removed over � re regulations,” Helm said, “they would have had to make expensive renovations, and I guess it was just easier to remove it.”

Ken recalls two bathrooms at one end of the hallway, for male and fe-male use, and two bathtubs located at the other end of the hall, again gender-speci� c.

“There was a general feeling amongst the residents, a sense of community,” Ken recalled, “ if you wanted privacy, you closed your door, but otherwise it was open, and people were free to drop in for a visit.”

Several of those inhabiting the hotel were of a more permanent nature.

“We’d often go downstairs to the pub in our sock or slippered feet,” Helm said.

The hotel had a rooming house type setup that allowed Ken to get his lunches made and breakfast served daily by an elderly female cook who had a “heart of gold.” He paid 80 cents for breakfast, and one dollar for lunch.

“There used to be an old garage in the back, where myself and the owner’s son used to work on cars,” he said. “I was in Vancouver the day the packinghouse across the street burned. They managed to save the hotel, and the owner’s son got my car out of the garage.” Ken returned home to � nd his room had been subjected to some of the � re’s intense heat - his record collection had melted.

Ken also remembers the bar hav-ing separate entrances for men and ladies and escorts.

“There was talk of building a telescope on Mount Kobau at the time,” Helm further recalled, “the hotel had a cocktail room they called the Kobau Room.”

Ken stayed in the hotel for two years.

By 1984, the building sported a painted stucco exterior, modern signage and a patio across the front of the building.

In 2005, the liquor store began operating. The third � oor was gone by now, and the exterior of the hotel was pretty much what the hotel looked like on July 14, 2014, when the building burned to the ground.

A community icon, the Keremeos Hotel was an integral part of the village for over a century. To one resident it was the village’s social hub, while another remembers it as home

Temperatures reached a daily record of 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahren-heit) on July 13 at the town of Osoyoos in the South Okanagan, and the tem-perature there has been over 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit) for five days in the past week.

At these high temperatures, orchard operations are impacted, and the follow-ing adjustments are made:

- The fruit growth at hot temperatures will slow or stop, then resume when tem-peratures drop to normal temperatures for the season.

- Picking of fruit (cherry season has opened) is done before noon, when tem-peratures are cooler.

- Fruit is chilled as quickly as possible after picking.

- Fruit ripens more quickly as tem-peratures rise. The amount of time avail-able to harvest the fruit is shorter, which makes getting the crop off the trees more time sensitive.

“The summer heat will add an extra challenge to getting crops off in good shape, but we want to assure our loyal customers that there is adequate supply of cherries from now through to August and even into September” said Fred Steele, President of the BC Fruit Grow-ers’ Association. The Okanagan is the only commercial apricot growing area in Canada, with apricot availability now for the next few weeks. The various varieties of peaches start now and will be avail-able into September.

“We are looking for local fruit pickers to get the crop off the trees faster than usual. Interested people may call Ron Forrest, the facilitator of the BCFGA Labour Project, at 250-859-7503. Right now, we have one order for 50 pickers that is unfilled and by next week the tree fruit industry will need more workers,” said Steele. The BCFGA is also asking workers who are camping to be aware of campfire bans.

Keremeos firefighters were called to the vicinity of the former Farmworkers Campground site on Thurs-day afternoon, July 17, to deal with a campfire that got away.

Keremeos Chief Jordy Bosscha reported firefighters were quickly able to contain a fire, roughly five by 10 metres, burning in scattered river debris on the flood-

plain beyond the dike, east of the cement plant. “Campers were working to contain the fire using

bottles, cans, whatever they could find to carry water,” Bosscha said. He also noted at least two other loca-tions where firepits had been recently used.

The fire department was called to the campground a second time on July 21 on a burning complaint, and once again found three campfires burning.

A burning ban has been in place within the regional district since Wednesday.

Four members of the Keremeos and District Vol-unteer Fire Department were sent to West Kelowna on Friday, July 18 to provide assistance with the Smith Creek fire. They returned to Keremeos early Friday evening.

High fire danger ratings in the regional district result-ed in a temporary fire ban to be issued by the Regional District Okanagan Similkameen that went into effect on Wednesday, July 16.

The ban continues until further notice, meaning all open burning, including campfires, fireworks, will be prohibited in the RDOS in conjunction with the mu-nicipalities of Penticton, Summerland, Oliver, Osoyoos, Princeton, Village of Keremeos, Hedley Improvement District and the Ministry of Forest and Range, BC For-est Service – Kamloops Fire Centre.

Public safety and limiting the risk of person-caused wildfires are the main reasons behind the ban’s imple-mentation. This ban does not restrict fires in cooking stoves using gas, propane or briquettes, or to a portable campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rating (provid-ing the flame height does not exceed 15 centimeters) but does restrict fires in portable wood burning fireplaces and campfires.

Tickets for up to $345 per incident could be issued to anyone in contraven-tion of the fire ban. Additionally, anyone who causes a wild-fire through arson or recklessness may also be fined up to $1 million, spend up to three years in prison and be held account-able for associated firefighting costs.

For further infor-

mation please contact Dale Kronebusch – Emergency Services Supervisor at (250) 490-4139 or go to www.bcwildfire.ca

As of Monday morning, July 21, three fires burning in the regional district were reported as follows:

Apex Mountain Fire - Calculated at 344 hectares, ap-proximately 60 per cent contained. The threat to public safety has not changed due to the erratic behaviour of the fire at night forecasts of strong winds. Even though the guards have held the fire, the evacuation alert needs to remain in place for 13 previously identified properties.

Jura Fire - Measured at 460 hectares, forestry crews, air and ground support were able to make good progress over the weekend and continue to call the fire 70 per cent contained. As a precautionary safeguard, the evacuation alert remains for 606 previously identified properties as the situation continues to be re-assessed.

Boot Hill Fire (aka Nickleplate) No significant change from July 20. Measuring 100 hectares in size (down from 138 hectares, it is considered 50 per cent contained. No evacuation alerts associated with this incident.

While Keremeos fought the Keremeos Hotel fire last Monday, July 14, fire crews were busy working a light-ning - ignited fire near the Ashnola Valley. For-estry crews were able to extinguish the fire.Residents are remind-ed that fire danger is high in spite of the recent cooler weather.

9 WAYS TO IMPROVE CURB APPEAL

Homeowners who want their homes to make strong first impressions must prioritize curb appeal. Homes with strong curb appeal sell well and can impart a welcoming feel to all visitors. Improving curb appeal need not be expensive, and the following are a handful of ways to improve the appearance of your home.1. Install a bold-looking door in a vibrant color or one with a custom design. This helps the home stand out from other properties in the neighborhood.2. Edge the driveway to create a distinct border between the driveway and the lawn or other landscaping features. This helps homes appear neat and well kept.3. Use outdoor lighting to make a home more inviting. Outdoor lighting also makes prop-erties safer to traverse at night.4. Clean a home’s exterior to remove mildew or discolorations from the siding, driveway, patio, and other outdoor elements.5. Improve landscapes with fresh plants and seasonal color. Homeowners without the time to plant can consider container gardens, which don’t take much time to assemble but still add appeal to a home’s exterior.6. Prune planting beds and add new mulch to restore color.7. Add shutters and accent trim to a home’s exterior to improve on the beauty of the house.8. Install new fencing or give a fresh coat of paint or stain to an existing fence.9. Replace concrete paths with tile or stone walkways to make entryways more impres-sive and inviting. * The average lawn releases enough oxygen to sustain four families of four.


news

Keremeos Irrigation District is reminding residents of watering regulations in light of the recent hot weather, which has resulted in high water usage in recent weeks. A quick summary of the regula-tions are as follows:

Sprinkling is permitted during irrigation season only April 15 to October 15.

Even numbered residences may water on even numbered calen-dar days.

Odd numbered residences may water on odd numbered calen-dar days.

No watering is permitted between the hours of 10 a.m. To 7 p.m.daily.

The number of sprinklers during the permitted hours is as fol-lows based on your lot size: .00 - .25 acre - One sprinkler.26 -. 50 acre - Two sprinklers.51 - .75 acre - Three sprinklers .76 - 1.0 acre - Four sprinklers

Automatic underground irrigation systems should be set to wa-ter on the appropriate even/odd days between the hours of 12 a.m. to 6 a.m. only.

The KID sincerely appreciates residents co-operation in the water conservation program. If anyone has any questions please contact the district office on Tuesday or Friday at: 250-499-5651.

The district reservoir is nearing completion; it is scheduled to be commissioned and in service by the end of the month once it is leak tested, backfilled and the installation of the electrical con-nections and controls are completed. The reservoir is required to provide storage to meet the peak water demands of the community on a daily basis including a fire protection component. Had the recent fire at the Red Bridge Pub been at a high peak demand time of day, and/or there had been a pump failure at the same time, there would have been a water shortage. The district is looking for-ward to completion of this project, and the benefits to the opera-tion of the water system.

Members of the KID hope everyone enjoys the rest of the sum-mer !

A LOVE FOR LAVENDER

Buying: Now having said that, as with anything on the market, you have lots of choices on purchasing lavender because it does have a great reputation for its beautiful smell and deeply relaxing quality, however, not all lavender products are real lavender. You want to stay away from synthetic lavender candles, detergents, soaps and so on. If the product is organic, you can read the label to ensure the lavender is pure and not synthetic. Your best bet is to find a good quality lavender essential oil and add it yourself to baths, burns, washing machine. The lavender should meet the ISO standard and if possible, find out where the supplier gets their oils from. There is also the option of muscle testing your oils if you’re familiar with that, or tap into your intuition and FEEL the oil, go with that gut instinct.Growing: Even though lavender prefers the Mediterranean climate, it does grow most places easily, as we all know, the Brits love lavender in their English gardens and its anything but dry there. The main thing is to avoid dampness with lavender, it doesn’t need much room to spare in its pot, an inch or two outside the bulb is perfect. It thrives out of the wind, so up against a brick wall is ideal. The soil should be well drained and have plenty of sun and if you live in a colder climate, bring your lavender in for the winter months. Pluck the lavender flowers off regularly and avoid pruning in the winter until you see some new green growth at the base.The Many Magical Uses:Headaches-gently massage just a few drops around head, neck and shoulder.add a few drops to your favorite face cream(preferably organic)add to carrier oil (jojoba, grape seed)and massage into scarred area or stretch marksadd undiluted lavender to burnt area or wounds/cutsinsect repellant:add a few drops to a little sunflower oil and rub on skinmoths:keep lavender sachets in closet to keep moths awayacne, eczema and other skin problems, just a few drops or add to organic face creamssleep: add drop to pillow, warm bath or cloth and inhaleadd to washer, as well as water bottles to freshen house, furniture...even pets.A few drops goes along way, be careful not to over do it!! As you can see, lavender is a must have around the house, the uses are limitless and simple.There are many search engines on the internet that provide recipes, uses and dilution instructions. With all essential oils, less is MORE.

SUN PROTECTION FOR ALLOne of the myths concerning sun exposure is that dark-skinned people don’t need sunscreen protection. In the U.S., rates of skin cancers are on the rise in Aftican American and Hispanics so skin of all colours needs protection from the sun.

STEROIDS IN NATURAL FORM TOOThe word steroid often conjures up a negative image. But this class of chemicals is � owing through our bodies naturally. Cholesterol is a building block for hormones. Cortisol comes from the kidneys and regulates energy and immune function. Sex hormones like testosterone and estrogens regulate sexual function.

STEROIDS ALSO FOUND IN MEDICATIONSSteroids are also found in medications that help many conditions. Prednisone is a powerful oral steroid which is an antiin� ammatory to treat many conditions like severe rheumatoid arthritis. Steroids are also found in inhalers, enemas and skin creams. These products are very helpful in patients with asthma, in� ammatory bowel conditions like Crohn’s disease, and severe skin rashes.Prescribed steroids can be extremely effective. Part of our job as your pharmacist is to ensure you know about the drugs you are taking...what they will do for you and any side effects to watch out for. Make our pharmacist, your pharmacist.

Every year, on the night of August 12-13 the Earth passes through a stream of debris left behind by a comet. The Earth and debris are moving in differ-ent directions at many kilometres a second, so this debris hits our atmosphere

at very high speed. The friction vaporizes it, leaving glowing trails in the sky, which are often wrongly referred to as “shooting stars.” “Meteors” is a more precise term. The Earth is always running into pieces of orbiting grit and dust left over from the for-mation of the Solar System, so we can see meteors most dark, clear nights. However, when we pass through one of these debris streams, we can see many more meteors per hour.

Comets are lumps of ice, dust, grit and petrochemicals up to a few kilometres across. There are many of these objects orbiting the Sun out in the cold, dark outer reaches of the Solar System. However, pe-riodically an impact, close encounter with something or some other process de� ects one onto a path taking it into the inner Solar System. The object is now doomed.

As it approaches the Sun it starts to warm up, and the volatile chemicals and the ice holding it all together start to evapo-rate. Since such a small object has only weak gravity, once the glue goes there is not much else holding the object together, and it starts to lose material. This gets pushed out by the solar wind and the pressure of solar radiation into glowing tails which get bigger as the Sun gets closer and the heat builds up.

The chance of seeing a dark, cold lump of dirty ice is negligible, but once a tail starts to develop, the object becomes increasingly visible. It is now a comet. The presence of glowing tails, which get bigger and brighter as the comet gets closer to the Sun makes it increasingly likely to be spot-ted by satellite telescopes, observatories or

the many amateur astronomers who spend hours searching for new objects in the sky. If we’re lucky we might get to see a real spectacle, like Comet Hale-Bopp, which vis-ited us a few years ago.

Unless the comet passes so close to the Sun that it is completely evaporated, its orbit takes it back into the outer reaches of the Solar System again. However its years are numbered, because it is destined to keep making visits to the inner Solar Sys-tem, providing a spectacle for us to enjoy but losing a bit more of its substance each time. After a few passes close to the Sun its orbit becomes � lled with debris released by the comet. This is the situation with Comet Swift-Tuttle. An additional factor is that the Earth ploughs through this stream every August, producing a meteor shower called the Perseids. This is usually one of the best meteor events of the year.

Our observatory is located at a really dark site, and for some years we have been having a public star party to enjoy the Perseids. In addition to meteor spotting, there are telescopes brought out by local amateur astronomers for looking at planets and other objects in the sky, and we lay on some astronomy talks and a demonstration or two.

We will be doing that this year. Of course Mother Nature has pitched us a curve ball this year. We will have the Moon to contend with. It will be just past full and its brightness will obliterate the fainter meteors. However, it also means the Moon can be a telescope target. There are two bright planets, Mars and Saturn, to look at too, in the southern and southwestern sky. Saturn is possibly the most beautiful object in the Solar System and a must-see. Actu-ally, there is another way to detect meteors, which is unaffected by the Moon, cloud, or even whether it is day or night. It uses radio waves; we will demonstrate.

Mars and Saturn are still well placed to enjoy. Saturn, a moderately bright object in the south, is magni� cent, even through small telescopes. Venus and Mercury lie low in the predawn twilight. The Moon will be new on the 26th.

Ken Tapping is an astronomer with the National Research Council’s Dominion Ra-dio Astrophysical Observatory, Penticton.

Regional district board members discussed the future of Regional District Okanagan Similka-meen corporate headquarters during the Corpo-rate Services Committee meeting on July 17.

Chris Allen, Architect with Allen and Maurer Architects, presented a report to the directors that looked at upgrades to the existing facilities at 101 Main Street in Penticton, as opposed to constructing new facilities elsewhere.

Allen said the present location contained enough space for present RDOS staff numbers. His report centred on renovations that would provide a more comfortable workplace environ-ment, at the same time addressing some energy ef� ciency issues.

Describing the present status of the regional district building as having evolved over 30 years without much direction, he said the building, constructed in 1981, was built to house a “new and untested form of government - not built to last.”

Present structural issues include a requirement for seismic upgrading and a slight settling of one corner of the building that is resulting in water ponding on the roof.

Describing the building as having “little curb appeal” Allen’s report divided the building into three sections, recommending large scale chang-es to the interior layout of the building. He also made recommendations to increase greenspace outside the building, including energy upgrades that could save up to $15,000 a year.

Allen’s report concluded by comparing replacement costs for a new facility versus present value of regional district assets. He concluded replacement values of a new regional district building at an alternate location at between 2.5 and three million dollars, whereas the existing facility’s present value is assessed at between 1.6 and 1.9 million dollars, “making the business case for relocation very weak.”

Following Allen’s report, the board voted on a staff recommendation to approve a $56,000 budget for a structural report and design of the municipal of� ce. The motion carried, with Direc-tors Bush and Siddon opposed.
