Manager Kris Friesen of Similkameen Turkey Farm is busy � nishing the last of the 2013 � ock. The farm recently received humane certi� cation, which helps ensure the birds are raised in a healthier, more liveable environment. The � ock is even provided with “enhancements” - toys - such as balls and shiny CDs to play with.
Kris Friesen was a busy man on the afternoon of November 20, after a sudden surge of cold air enveloped the Lower Similkameen.
“I had a water line break, and I’m trying to keep my birds from freezing,” he explained, as he dis-mounted from his tractor.
Kris, along with wife Jody, are the new managers of Similkameen Turkey Farm, previously VanDie-man’s.
The business changed hands roughly a year ago, and is now owned by Brian Pauls of Abbots-ford. The Pauls family own a num-ber of turkey farms in the Lower Mainland and on the prairies.
The Friesens arrived in Kere-meos � ve months ago, and since then, Kris has been a very busy man, last Wednesday notwith-standing.
Similkameen Turkey Farm pro-cesses 660,000 kilograms of turkey annually, which translates into ap-proximately 88,000 birds.
“It takes about 13 weeks to raise a bird,” Friesen explained, “we processed � ve � ocks in 2013, and we have plans to expand.”
The farm is currently raising the � ock bound for Christmas dinner tables this year - 13,500 birds that will complete the growing cycle for the farm for this year.
Friesen said that locally, the farm sells roughly 3,000 birds over the Thanksgiving season, and another 5-6,000 over the Christmas season. The remainder of the � ock

sells under the Sunrise Poultry label.
Similkameen Turkey Farm is the only free range turkey farm of its
size in B.C. - there is one other, but it is miniscule in comparison.
New to the farm this year is its re-cently acquired humane certi� cation.
“We have spent � ve months ac-quiring the certi� cate,” Friesen said, “we have addressed such issues as the amount of square feet each bird has, measured food and water, a strict diet of vegetable feed and grains, and ac-cess to toys and exercise.”
The farm compiles letters of compliance with respect to the com-ponents required for humane certi� -cation, and there are other technical aspects of the operation that must be satis� ed in order to qualify.
“I think I bought out Keremeos Toonie’s complete supply of toy balls,” Freisen chuckled. Other en-
hancements, are provided in an effort to ensure that while the birds are alive, they are unstressed, and hopefully, happy. The better living conditions of the birds result in better � avour, and healthier meat.
Local orders for birds from Si-milkameen Turkey Farms are still welcome, and, according to Friesen, always available.
“I’m going to ensure that birds and bird parts will be available at all times,” said Friesen, who said that no one is turned away from the farm’s retail gate.
“This Thanksgiving was awesome,” he said, “we were able to supply every-one, even those who had forgotten to reserve.”
Other than having to deal with a sudden onslaught of cold air and the odd bald eagle, Friesen said that he felt the Lower Similkameen was a nearly perfect spot to locate a poultry
farm.“There are no other poultry farms
nearby, so therefore little chance of cross-contamination,” he explained. “The dry weather here is also a key factor - when birds get wet, they get sick.”
Friesen has another couple of weeks to go before the � nal � ock of the year is shipped to the Lower Mainland for slaughter. The birds are normally processed here, but a province wide dismissal of in-spectors has temporarily forced Similkameen Farms to transport the birds to larger facilities on the coast for processing.
Local consumers who are con-cerned about where their food comes from and how it is grown can continue to take heart in the knowledge that the locally grown poultry they’ve known for years will continue to be not only avail-able, but healthier and tastier.
Wayne and Donna Stolz are mourning the death of their pet Shih Tzu dog after it was mauled by a pit bull on Friday, Nov. 22, in the front yard of their Kere-meos home.
Donna had just taken 10-year-old Angel outside for a bathroom break around 4 p.m. when the attack occurred.
“Angel had arthritis in her hind legs, so I had to carry her outside to avoid her using the steps,” explained a teary-eyed Donna on Monday morning.
“I put her down on the grass right beside the steps, and the pit bull came out of nowhere. It had Angel in its mouth, tossing her around like a rag doll.”
The dog had come from a re-cently occupied across the street. A member of the household heard Donna yelling for help, and raced across the street to separate the dogs.
It only took a few seconds, but the damage to Angel was exten-sive. She had been eviscerated by the attack.
“I couldn’t do anything,” said Donna who sobbed as she re-counted the event.
Because neither party had ac-cess to a vehicle, Donna called the police, who placed Donna and Angel in the cruiser and drove the wounded animal to the nearest vet in Osoyoos. The dog was too badly wounded, however, and was put down.
“I feel really bad,” said the owner of the pit bull, who lives just across the street.
“The dog was in the house, he must have snuck out the door without anyone noticing.”
The backyard of the home where the pit bull lives is lined with a fence which has “Beware of dog” notices attached.
The tearful neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said her dog had never done anything like this before.
“I’m going to lose my dog, too,” she said Monday morning, still distraught over the incident.
“They have asked to have the dog destroyed, and I will not deny them.”
The Stolz’ wished to have the pit bull put down.
“To see that happen before my eyes, and not be able to do anything about it - I’m still very shocked.
My dear little Angel was dying in my arms on the front lawn,” Donna sobbed at the memory.
Wayne’s sorrow was tinged with anger on Monday as he ques-tioned why the pit bull was off-leash and unmuzzled.
“Angel was Donna’s peace and tranquility.
Why should we be responsible for the vet bill, when that pit bull killed our dog?” he asked.
A statement released by the Keremeos RCMP detachment said that no charges were pending as a result of the attack, noting the pit bull did not have a reputa-tion for aggressive behaviour. Po-lice subsequently turned the file over to Keremeos bylaw officer Kevin Aschhoff.
Keremeos Village Chief Ad-ministrative Officer Laurie Taylor said Monday that the Bylaw Offi-cer Aschhoff had been investigat-ing the incident.
“I understand the pit bull is being voluntarily surrendered today, and will be put down,” Taylor said late Monday morning.
“It’s a tragedy for everyone in-volved,” said acting detachment Commander Martin Trudeau.
“There was no malicious intent involved - some dogs have a highly developed prey drive, and if that’s the case here, it’s just a very unfortunate incident where everyone loses.”

EditorialSilver lining in nasty
incidentA pit bull attack in a neighbourhood in
Keremeos last week was a duel tragedy for both families involved.
We are a nation of dog lovers, and closer to home, Keremeos is a community of residents who share great affection for man’s best friend.
When something like this happens, it hits all of us close to the heart.
In the case of last week’s attack in Keremeos, two families became victims. There was no mali-cious intent involved; the dog who attacked had no history of aggressive behaviour, and had been leashed or fenced in - but anyone who has a pet knows how quickly an animal can slip away, even under the most attentive care.
As a result of the attack, both families have lost their pets.
Misery and sorrow was palpable on the street where the attack occurred, even days after the attack. But even in the most sorrowful of cir-cumstances, we noticed some good things that have come out of this nasty incident.
Keremeos RCMP showed compassion, con-ciliatory skills and a strong sense of service to the community in their handling of the incident, from the transporting of the injured animal to the vet (no one involved had access to a vehicle) to the defusing of neighbourly emotions run-ning high over last weekend.
The two families involved also deserve praise for the restraint they showed in the midst of their sorrow, grief and anger. Their civility towards each other kept a bad situation from escalating into something even worse.
We hope both families can eventually come to terms with the incident, and find some peace in the common ground that exists between them - both victims of an unfortunate set of circum-stances, both of whom have lost significantly, but at the same time, both of whom must also continue to live as neighbours.

Two days after Energy Minister Bill Bennett an-nounced the demise of the Pacific Carbon Trust, the public accounts committee convened at the legislature to pound a few more nails into its carbon-sequestering coffin.
Assistant Auditor Gener-al Morris Sydor was there to defend his report from last March that concluded the B.C. government was not “carbon neutral” in 2010, because the trust paid $6 million for hastily arranged offset projects that were not valid.
An Encana Corp. gas flaring reduction project at Fort Nelson and a forest preserve in the Kootenays would have proceeded with-out assistance from $25 a tonne carbon fee imposed on hospitals, universities, colleges and until last year, school districts. In fact they did proceed without this subsidy. The government continues to deny this, but not many people outside the international carbon offset sales racket believe them.
The Pacific Carbon Trust’s functions will con-tinue, Bennett said. Instead of a board of directors and 18 staff, five people headed by an assistant deputy min-ister will evaluate projects and bestow millions taken from college, university and health authority budgets each year.
B.C.’s school districts are still paying $5 million a year to offset such ne-farious activities as heating their schools. But now the money goes into a “Carbon Neutral Capital Program,” and districts have to apply to get their money back for emission-reducing projects.
This is going so well, according to Bennett, that post-secondary institutions and health authorities will be converted to a similar program in the years ahead.
How is that school pro-gram going? Here are some examples.
The Coast Mountains School District around Ter-race paid $66,452 for carbon offsets last year. It got back most of its three years of offset payments as a grant to complete a boiler upgrade
for its Kitimat high school.Abbotsford and Nanai-
mo school districts each have to pay about $100,000 a year. They got money back for school boiler upgrades as well, although local school officials say that would not likely have been the top priority for spending, if it hadn’t been for the program that forces districts to spend grants immediately on emis-sion reduction.
Surrey school district paid out $585,000 last year, and also upgraded boilers. Vancouver’s pitch this year was for three electric cars.
Leaving aside the distor-tion of spending priorities caused by this restrictive tax-and-spend scheme, what happens when they run out of boilers to upgrade? And has it occurred to the government’s “carbon neu-tral” braintrust that those new boilers are still burning natural gas?
This program is about to be foisted onto universities and hospitals. Does anyone actually believe that heat-ing hospitals and college classrooms is a key driver of global warming? Pre-
sumably our carbon czars know that 40 per cent of B.C.’s human-generated greenhouse gas emissions are from transportation, and a few electric cars for school district staff aren’t going to change that.
And what happens when colleges and hospitals run out of boilers to modernize and insulation to upgrade? It won’t be long at this rate.
In hindsight, this “car-bon neutral government” scheme is perhaps the worst single idea implemented in 12 years of B.C. Lib-eral government. Gordon Campbell’s grand vision of a province where govern-ment sets the green stan-dard and the private sector economy follows has simply not worked.
The NDP presented a motion in April 2012 to re-lieve hospitals, colleges and universities of their carbon offset obligation. The idea was supported by a B.C. Liberal backbencher, who argued that B.C. should also scrap the carbon tax and quit pretending it can change the climate.
His name? Bill Bennett.
Carbon neutral scheme is sinking in B.C.

On Friday, November 22, Keremeos Museum volunteers noticed a broken window at the museum. Upon entry to the building, they discovered the roller blind behind the window was scorched.
The police investigated and found dead leaves inside the museum below the window. The blind and the cur-tain were scorched but no other damaged ensued.
This may appear to be a case of minor vandalism, but the damage is costly, as the muntons, the wood pieces between the panes of glass, were broken out, so it is not a simple matter of replacing a pane of glass.
A whole new window will have to be bought and it
will have to be custom made.Vandalism like this is a disgrace to the community.
Should the museum have burned, years of history and stories would have been lost.
Thankfully the computer with most of the photos scanned into it was safe as it is removed from the mu-seum during the winter months.
Keremeos has been victim to a number of unusual vandalism sprees in the past few weeks. Residents are urged to be vigiliant about unusual activity in the vil-lage during the night time hours.
Police (250-499-5511) or Crime Stoppers (1-800-222-8477) are interested in hearing any details you might have regarding this or other vandalism that has taken place recently in the village.
Keremeos Museum vol-unteer Judy Chisholm lifts the window shade at the Keremeos Mu-seum to show burns sustained after van-dalism and attempted arson appeared to have taken place at the building late last week. Chisholm noticed the broken window Friday, November 22.

Cawston Players present a de� nitely different take on events occurring in the Hotel Bethlehem.
The shady innkeeper, Joshua, looks like he is going to get cruci-� ed being caught making out with his maid named Mary.
Two Roman soldiers are ready to put him on the cross unless he can bribe and lie his way out of the predicament.
The whole affair is complicated by the arrival of Joseph with his pregnant wife, Mary, and two shepherds wanting to give their lamb (also named Mary) a natural water birth.
Throw in the arrival of the three “Wise Men” and a Roman census taker, charmed by the alluring maid Mary and convinced Joshua is hiding rooms, thus avoiding taxes and you have the

Or your heart can be full of the love you sharedYou can turn your back on tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember him and only that he’s goneOr you can cherish his memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your backOr you can do what he would want;
Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

To the Editor:After reading the article written by
Clancy Madden regarding legalizing the use of none prescription drugs, I am completely blown away that our govern-ment would engage someone who is so opinionated and vocal to canvass our towns while attempting to sway those canvassed on his yes or no ballet.
Can this be real or is this just another kook stoked on what ever using our local media to sound off ?
If we were to resolve this issue in a sensible and logical way it would be necessary to seriously look at control us-ing the systems that are now in place for drug use, that being our pharmacies.
Would it not make sense to have those who require pain medication receive it through prescription and regulated sources? Government certified farms could then be the only legal suppliers of marijuana or derivatives and all other sources be deemed illegal.
Do the pharmaceutical companies
have such a choke hold on our govern-ment that drug stores will not be allowed to dispense drugs that do not come from their factories?
For those mentioned as pot users (grandmas / grandpas), yes it is sad a few have now turned to become part of the problem.
Police, lawyers, doctors, judges, etc., etc., who have sworn oath to work re-sponsibly within the law that are found to be illegal drugs users should be se-verely punished and forever banned from practices or law enforcement. The sen-tences and punishment for each offence should be preset and the only question answered through trials would be inno-cent or guilty.
Its time to get real, just because it is your kid, grandchild, sibling, parent, or good friend it makes no difference. Right is right, and wrong is wrong and the only way to be helpful is to be honest offering help based on real values.
Regards, Darryl Brewer, Hedley
To the Editor: I agree with Mr. Henshaw as he writes
in the November 21 Review that BCUC should be making Fortis read our meters, but they don’t seem to care.
On September 21, I wrote to the BCUC to complain that our meters had not been read since May and that Fortis overesti-mated my June bill by enough that I was charged some useage at the tier two rate that shouldn’t have been, and that all my bills since then have been overestimated. I received a reply from BCUC dated Octo-ber 1 telling me that they could not tell a company how to run its business, and that any complaints regarding how Fortis runs its business should be directed to Fortis. Their reply also said that Fortis has advised BCUC that they will correct and credit all overcharges after the labour dispute has ended.
You may have noticed the following
statement on your Fortis bills: “During labour action your meter won’t be read as usual, but that as a Fortis BC customer, you have the right to read your own meter.”
On September 9, I sent a letter to Fortis with my June, July and August meter read-ings so they could correct the overbilling on my account. Fortis informed me that dur-ing this labour dispute they are not allowed to input any readings. How does this make any sense whatsoever? Interestingly, my last Fortis bill did not include the statement that we are allowed to read our own meters.
I’m not sure how Fortis thinks they will be able to correct our bills, six or more months after the fact, but I would advise everyone to start keeping some sort of record of their power consumption. If not, you may get a very unpleasant surprise once the labour dispute ends.

To the Editor:Regional District North Okanagan and
South Okanagan Similkameen National Park Network....what part of no don’t you people understand?
RDNO, if you want and feel you deserve a national park, find some place in your re-gional district to put it, and take note SOS national park network does not represent
the people most affected by this. Take a drive through our valley and look at/count “No National Park” signs.
Anyone who has done their research knows it will not increase tourism, new business or create jobs, not in our area and definitely not in the North Okanagan.

To the Editor: As a recent arrival in Keremeos I was a
little appalled at the town’s and the credit union’s lack of response to the disaster in the Phillipines.
When I went into the credit union to donate money to cyclone relief, the best
they could (come) up with was a domestic worker who was collecting cash.
My question is this: how does this reflect on the character of the town (or lack of it) and the credit union? Bill Reaume, Keremeos
An alternative view of marijuana legislation
No means to contibute to Phillipine typhoon relief in Keremeos
Fortis’ estimated bills continue to raise customer’s ire

First Nations students from Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, Shoal Lake Ontario, and Beausoliel Island on Georgian Bay arrived in the Similka-meen earlier this week to participate in the second of four water conferences.
Four Similkameen students are also
participating in the studies, hosted by Amanda Karst, Program Facilitator for the Centre for Indegenous Environ-mental Resources, developers of the program.
“The students have a busy schedule,” Karst said Monday morning as stu-dents prepared for opening ceremony exercises, which included a “smudging” ceremony just outside Similkameen
Elementary Secondary School.“The idea is for the students to
identify water action priorities in each community they visit,” said Karst. “They work out details of a water plan, � nd out who to partner with and create a budget. They will also be developing a digital story to run on the centre’s website.”
Karst said the group, which consists
of four students from the four water regions of Canada, will also take a one day � eld trip to the Okanagan to ex-plore water issues in that valley between Osoyoos and Penticton.
The groups’ � rst study area was with the Beausoliel First Nations in Ontario. By the third session, the groups will begin to implement their water action plans to their communities.
The students will spend a week studying water issues in the Similka-meen.

Okanagan and Si-milkameen Invasive Species Society Co-ordinator Lisa Scott spoke to Keremeos Village Council about the society’s work in 2013 during the November 18 regular meeting of council.
The Christmas Hamper Fund Committee sent a request to coun-cil for free use of the Community Kitchen and Vic-tory Hall. Council agreed to provide a donation up to $515 to the Hamper Fund to assist them in offsetting the cost for the use of the two venues. Council has moved away from the practice of allowing free use of Victory Hall, instead providing qualifying charities
with a donation to offset the cost.
Council con-� rmed to staff their 2014 convention schedule.
Three and possi-bly four councillors made requests to attend the Southern Interior Local Gov-ernment Association convention being held in Penticton, April 30 - May 2.
Estimated cost for each member to attend is $630.
No one will be attending the Fed-eration of Canadian Municipalities con-vention being held in Niagara Falls, Ontario, in 2014.
Mayor Bauer and Councillor Thielmann request-ed attendance at the 2014 Union of BC Municipalities convention, to be held in Whistler, at a cost of $2,705 per attendee.
Mayor Bauer is
considering atten-dance to the Local Government Lead-ership Academy, to be held at the Vancouver airport Radisson Hotel. Cost of attendance is estimated at $1,074.
A request from several Keremeos strata residents to have trees located in the riparian area behind 815 11th Av-enue trimmed back in order to pro-vide sightlines for residents’ satellite dishes was turned down by council.
A staff report noted that removal or trimming of trees in a riparian area were subject to strict regula-tion, none of which could be applied in this case. Oppor-tunities within the strata complex to relocate the satel-lite antennas were available, but would
require a change in strata rules.
Councillor Thiel-mann was singularly opposed to the mo-tion to deny.
The Ministry of Transpor-tation and Infrastructure and the Regional District Okana-gan Similkameen are about to embark on a regional road-side signage clean up.
Jeff Wiseman, District Operations Manager, told the regional board November 21 that phase one of a three part clean up of roadside signage along Highways 97, 3, and 3A would be getting under-way in the next few weeks.
The � rst phase will con-centrate on the southern por-tion of Highway 97, from Oli-ver south to the border. The action comes as a result of a board discussion a year ago that concluded with a resolu-tion to enforce the regional district signage bylaw.
Working in conjunction with the ministry, an inven-tory of signage has since been compiled. All illegally placed
signage will be targeted, and the owners of illegally placed signage will be noti� ed of their infraction and asked to remove the sign. Subsequent action, if needed, will be more heavy-handed.
Wiseman made it clear to the board that the ministry’s road side signage policy was simple and clear: “No private signs without a permit on highway right of way.” He also explained to the board that the ministry rarely grant-ed permits. He also noted that the ministry had no jurisdic-tion on federal lands, includ-ing native reserves.
Signage on private proper-ty subject to RDOS electoral area or municipal bylaws will also be enforced according to local legislation. The regional district has size restrictions, does not allow third party signage or off premises signs.
Area “B” Director George Bush asked whether large signs that were not in compli-ance would be grandfathered, noting that many farmers and fruit stands in the Lower Similkameen may not be in compliance. Wiseman replied that the ministry did not have a grandfather clause, al-though large signs such as the Cawston entrance sign was a permitted use.
The placement of mag-netic signs along regional highways was also discussed. Wiseman noted that mag-netic sign owners had been “chased” by the ministry until their recent location on reserve land. Letters sent to the band by the ministry had not yet been answered.
Signage enforcement in the Lower Similkameen should begin early in 2014.

Every year del-egates from all municipalities and regional districts in British Colum-bia meet to discuss issues of common concern. Resolu-tions are brought forward and their merits debated before being passed on to the provincial government for fur-ther consideration. This year 156 reso-lutions from all over the province were introduced. Work-shops are offered to educate local politi-cians on a variety of issues and updates on new rules and regulations are pro-vided.
This year’s theme of the conference was “Navigating the local landscape”, an attempt to steer through the count-less programs and the myriad of chal-lenges local govern-ments are facing.
Sunday I attend-ed the “Mayor’s for Highway 3” meet-ing. Priorities were confirmed to pro-mote the comple-tion of the Princ-eton-Hope project and secondary goals were established. Resurfacing the stretch of Highway 3 between Sumac Road and Cawston was one of the sug-gestions in prepara-tion for the meeting with the Premier and the Minister of transportation the next day.
Monday, Sep-tember 16, the “BC Mayor’s Caucus”, an all day confer-ence, gave opportu-nity for mayors from around the province to talk about emer-gent issues.
Tuesday, Septem-ber 17, networking activities and the “Small Talk Forum” provided a chance to talk with repre-sentatives from oth-er small communi-
ties about common problems. Some of the leading concerns included health care, water, sewer, public transportation and sustainability of ser-vices. I contributed to the convention and the promotion of the Similkameen Valley by organizing a Community Desti-nation Development Presentation that explored the value of tourism to B.C. communities and the benefits of de-veloping a compre-hensive multi-year tourism plan. This was presented in collaboration with representatives from TOTA, the Similka-meen Valley Plan-ning Society (SVPS) and the Ministry of Tourism. The presentation also showcased our new website “Similka-meenvalley.com”. Subsequently, the Similkameen Valley Planning Society, through the chair
(Mayor Bauer), was recognized for its contribution to the conference and awarded a dona-tion to the Stephen Lewis grandmoth-ers fund in the fight against aids.
We met with Minister Pimm (Agriculture) to talk about the lack of regulations in regards to basic amenities for tran-sient farm workers and urged him to introduce new regu-lations prohibiting recreational activi-ties in riparian ar-eas. I also spoke to the minister about the organic farming institute in Cawston and the challenges it faces.
Following up on our resolution regarding the Fortis BC two tier rate system and partici-pating in numerous meetings with min-isters on issues of regional importance concluded the day.
Wednesday and Thursday, the con-ference commenced with reports, work-shops and clinics as well as the resolu-tion process and the election of the new UBCM board of directors. A panel of cabinet ministers was also available for direct dialogue.
A full program of the conference, clinics, workshops as well as policy pa-pers and resolutions is available on the UBCM website.
The conference concluded on Fri-day with the instal-lation of the presi-dent elect and the premier addressing the delegates.
These conferenc-es have proven to be an effective tool for communicating our challenges to minis-ters and their staff and to help build a network of resource contacts.
Delegate costs Convention cost
for two delegates from Keremeos to the 2013 Union of BC Municipali-
ties convention held in Vancouver was $5,023.93.

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.

What are the Symptoms of Prostate Cancer:Typical symptoms of prostate cancer include difficulty urinating, frequent urination or blood in the urine. Early detection is the key to beating prostate cancer, so even if these symptoms are not present, it is crucial for men to have regular prostate screenings to ensure that all prostate cells are healthy. Some men have no symptoms and the only sign is a sudden rise in PSA levels. For this reason starting to have a yearly PSA test around 45 will give you a base-line.Tests for Determine Prostate Cancer:There are two tests to check for prostate cancer, the prostate specific antigen test (PSA) and the digital rectal exam (DRE). The PSA is a simple blood test that can be ordered by any doctor. The test measures the amount of prostate specific antigen present in the blood. PSA is a protein that is naturally produced by the prostate. Prostate cancer glands will release a higher amount of PSA than healthy glands, and as such, a high PSA level may be a warning sign of prostate cancer. The digital rectal exam involves a doctor inserting a gloved finger into the rectum to in an effort to feel for any abnormalities on the prostate. Combining the two tests provides the most accurate results.Preventing Prostate Cancer:The best way for men to prevent prostate cancer is to ensure regular testing. If the disease is caught early the chances of overcoming it are very large. There are a variety of treatments for early stage prostate cancer that are effective at containing the disease. Men can also maintain a diet low in saturated fats and high in fibre and incor-porate exercise into their daily routines.

With their “Mo’s”, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and male mental health initiatives.On Movember 1st, guys register at Movember.com with a clean-shaven face. For the rest of the month, these self-less and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. Through their actions and words, they raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.At the end of the month, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas celebrate their gallantry and valour by either throwing their own Movember party or attending one of the infamous Gala Partés held around the world by Movember, for Movember. www.ca.movember.com/This article is of the copyright of OK in Health and the author; any reproduction, duplication and transmission of the article are to have prior written approval by OK in Health or the authorThese articles are provided by OK In Health eMagazine.

New Winter Hours: Closed Sundays
COLD WEATHER AND RUNNY NOSESThe cold weather of Canadian winters often causes our noses to run. They do this because the little hairs in our noses work best in warm temperatures inside our noses to do their job of moving fluid up to the sinuses. In cold weather, these hairs become a bit paralysed so the secretions go downwards and seep out the nose.
SORE THROATSAt least 70% of sore throats are caused by cold or flu viruses. Other causes can be bacteria like streptococcus (“strep throat”) or fungal infections like Candida (“thrush”). Other causes can be smoking, overuse of the voice (singers, teachers), drugs (some inhalers containing cortisone-like drugs can cause thrush). If a sore throat lingers for weeks, it is best to get it checked by your family doctor.
DO YOU NEED MORE IRONIron is found in multivitamin preparations in small amounts however if your doctor suggests you take an iron supplement, you need more than the amount in the multivitamin. Some iron preparations are labelled ferrous fumerate, gluconate or sulphate. The labels all say 300 mg but each product contains a different amount of iron.
Our knowledgeable pharmacists can help you through the maze of iron preparations on the market. They will be happy to share this knowledge with you and all matters pertaining to your medications and your health.
