Alice Wiman, Aliya Bickner, Chelsea Matzick and Kalyx Malek appear to be expressing varying emotions as they approach Similkameen Elementary Secondary School for the start of the 2013-24 school year. A number of staf� ng changes highlight the resumption of studies at SESS this fall.

It was another hectic � rst day of school for students and staff at Similkameen Elementary Secondary School September 3 as the doors swung open for the start of another year of studies in Keremeos and the Lower Similkameen.

Students and teachers appeared to be enthusiastic and ready to go early Monday. Halls were fi lled with many students getting reacquainted with each other after a summer apart, while others scanned posted messages in the foyer to fi nd out where home room would be this year.

This year’s session begins at Similkameen Elementary Secondary School with a few staf� ng changes.

- Heather Lessard returns to SESS after several years absence to teach science and biology.

- Sarah Chobotar has taken a full time position to teach English and social studies.

- Ceilia Brower will be teaching grade six, � lling in for Chantel Richmond who is on maternity leave.

- Nina Ruck comes to SESS from the Boundary region, teaching French.

- Graeme Baerg comes to SESS from Oliver to teach English and drama classes.

- Ryan Baptiste, student teacher, will teach math and phys ed. He was a student teacher with SESS last year, and is a fully quali� ed teacher now.

- Two student teachers will be working with elementary school staff. A new program to SESS this year is “Jupiter grades,” an online program that allows parents to log in to teachers’ grade books through their email accounts, pro-viding parents with the opportunity to check for students missing assignments, teachers disciplinary comments, etc.

Things were also busy at Cawston Primary Monday morning as staff dealt with a higher than projected en-rollment.

“It’s good news for us,” said Cawston Primary Principal Linda Thiel. “We are excited to be starting another year at the ‘sun� ower school.’”

New teaching staff include Mrs. Church, Mrs. Snow, and Mrs. Lange. Mrs. Hunt will be taking over secretarial duties formerly � lled by Mrs. Schneider, who retired this year after long service at Cawston Primary.

news

Police report further vandalism following August 23 weekend

A rash of thefts from vehicles and general mischief took place in the downtown resi-dential area of Keremeos.

“There was a group of several youths who were up to no good late Sunday night, early Monday morning” reported Keremeos De-tachment Commander Corporal Trudeau.

Police received several calls Monday morning report-ing that their vehicles had been ri� ed through over-night.

A group of youths were hanging around the down-town residential area between Seventh and Eleventh Avenues, from the 400 to the 900 block.

They went through people’s yards and ri� ed through vehicles, stealing what they could � nd from glove boxes. They also set � re to two newspaper boxes and one resident actually caught a few kids jumping on their trampoline in the back yard.

“It does not appear that any vehicles were damaged, as everyone who reported the thefts also said they had left their vehicles unlocked” reported Trudeau.

“These are often crimes of opportunity and a lot can be done to help prevent them, like ensuring your doors are locked and perhaps installing motion lights. People often feel their neighborhoods are safe and secure enough to leave their vehicle doors unlocked, but it is often the deciding factor whether someone with bad intentions will actually search your vehicle or move on to seek another,” Trudeau cautioned village residents.

Trudeau also encouraged people to keep an eye out for suspicious persons or activity in their neighbor-hood and report it to police immediately.

“We can’t be everywhere at the same time and we all need to look after one another,” he said.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Keremeos RCMP at 250-499-5511, or Crime Stop-pers at: 1-800-222-TIPS

The Regional District Okanagan Similkameen’s new three man Trails Crew were in Keremeos on Wednesday, August 21, installing bollards at the entrance to the Similkameen trail on Seventh Street. In photo, Braydon and Ryan prepare the bollard holes for concrete.New trail markers and signage has also been installed at trail intersec-tions with Keremeos streets.

David Dubois, Project Coordina-tor for the Wood Waste to Rural Heat project, addressed committee members of the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen’s Environ-ment and Infrastructure Committee on August 15.

Dubois was invited to speak to the committee by Area “G” Director Angelique Wood, who was exploring potential opportunities to use the technology in rural communities such

as Hedley or Olalla.Dubois described the Wood Waste

to Rural Heat project as bio mass heating, using waste wood chips that could be easily sourced locally.

“Wood chips are half the price of natural gas and a local energy source,” Dubois told the committee, adding that the process was 90 per cent ef-� cient, supported wild� re mitigation in small communities and resulted in greenhouse gas emissions. Dubois said his organization provided techni-cal assistance, information and could help to determine a business model.

“Unfortunately, the technology doesn’t lend itself to residential use,” Wood said after the presentation, “but it is something that institutions, such as schools or recreation centres might be able to use.

I thought it might be a way of utilizing waste from community forest projects, rather than slash burning,” she added, “it’s a system that doesn’t require much to do a lot, and there are plenty of small fuel sources readily available in the Similkameen.”

EditorialValley residents could use a river reporting system

A recent discussion at a meeting of the Similka-meen Valley Planning Society centred around the need for an “early warning system” to alert officials and the public to events affecting the quality of water in the Similkameen River watershed.

The discussion was prompted by two events in August that resulted in downstream residents puzzled by changes in river clarity.

In the first instance, heavy rain and a subsequent landslide into the river resulted in the Similkameen taking on a greenish like hue for a few days. The appearance of the river had several Keremeos residents wondering what had happened further upstream.

In the other, a coal mine tailings spill turned the Tulameen jet-black, raising local concerns amongst those who had no knowledge of what had hap-pened.

Society members are correct in their assessment that warnings and information about Similka-meen water quality could be improved. (At least one member hadn’t even heard of the coal tailings breach - as no doubt, had many Similkameen residents).

Monitoring the river to the degree discussed by the SVPS could be a challenge, however. Because of the size and remoteness of the Similkameen, it would seem that a strong reliance on riverside residents and those with the potential to introduce material into the valley’s river system will be neces-sary for a warning and / or detection system to work.

Rather than using a system that has a prior-ity approach to notification, relying on expensive regional district personnel, perhaps a dedicated “Similkameen River” telephone line might work. The line could be set up to allow the public to report or receive the latest river information.

Whatever system is considered, it would need to be easy to access by the public, inexpensive and well publicized in order to be successful.

We spent the Labour Day weekend like a lot of other parents, help-ing get the kids back to school.

In our case, we drove to Victoria to assist our youngest daughter in her return to school. She changed her accommodations this year, having found a refurbished two storey house that had originally been con-structed in 1906. She was sharing the rent with two other friends - the place had recently been remodelled, with an up to date kitchen that even had granite countertops.

This is ‘way too nice for students, I thought to myself upon seeing it for the first time.

But, good for them. Located about a 40 minute walk from Vic-toria Harbour, it was also well located to the university, on a popular bus route.

At any rate, we headed for Vancouver Friday morning, getting there in plenty of time to sit on this side of the Richmond Tunnel.

It took over an hour to get roughly three kilometres - things slow down when four lanes of heavy traffic are con-verging into one.

I suddenly realized how glad I am that I don’t have to do this everyday.

Note to self: stop getting ansty next time you have to wait two minutes to get onto the Channel Parkway in Penticton.

We spent Friday night with our older daughter in her small apartment in Rich-mond. She found com-fortable accommoda-tions a short walk away from Richmond Centre, in a leafy, quiet, con-dominium lined street. We were pleasantly surprised to encounter many friendly people in her neighbourhood - belying at least one stereotype of big city

life.A mistake in reser-

vation dates meant we did not have confirmed bookings on the ferry, or a hotel in Victoria.

It was no big deal on the ferry, as we arrived at Tsawwassen termi-nal with plenty of time before the next ferry.

It was a bigger deal in Victoria with room accomodations, how-ever. “Your best bet, I would suggest, would be to drive to Duncan,” sug-gested one hotel keeper.

“It’s not that far away, and you’ll prob-ably find something there.”

We chose to head the other direction, and lucked out in Sydney.

Victoria is a city that I find I enjoy more with each visit.

I took a little hike downtown from my daughter’s place one afternoon, trying get a read on city streets that seemed to twist and turn in every direction - actually not so different from Kaleden streets.

The neighbourhood was filled with heritage houses in various states of repair. The tempera-ture was comfortable, the air still - a perfect late summer day for a stroll.

Victoria looks like a cyclist’s mecca as well - every time I glanced at the street it seemed like someone was cruising past me on a bike. The area has a number of paths, including a con-nection with the ferry terminal in Swartz Bay, and the terrain isn’t beyond the range of a mountain bike.

We beat the Monday holiday rush off the island, getting back to the mainland Sunday afternoon, and headed back home the follow-ing morning.

Our daughters were settled, comfortable and apparently getting along okay. School, or a return to work was just around the corner; our work on the coast was done, until next spring at least.

Rate complaints results in

early review

Nearly 150 complaints about FortisBC’s new two-tiered elec-tricity prices have prompted the B.C. Utilities Commission to or-der an evaluation of the new rate structure sooner than planned.

FortisBC was scheduled to report on its conservation rate by the end of April 2014, but the commission has now bumped up the deadline for a preliminary study to Oct. 31.

In the one year that followed the July 2012 approval of the new rate structure, the BCUC received 149 complaints, a number it deemed “signi� cant,” according to an order paper issued Aug. 22.

The order compels FortisBC to prepare a report that includes information about how much energy has been saved by the new rate structure, how it has affected company revenue, and its impact on customers who don’t have access to natural gas to heat their homes.

“They’ve been listening to me, I guess, because I was the biggest complainer,” said Robby Kilborn, an Olalla resident who saw his power bill quadruple to $2,100 for a four-month period last winter.

The conservation rate reduced the price for energy use below 1,600 kilowatt-hours in each bill-ing cycle, but increased the cost for consumption over that mark.

While FortisBC expected 75 per cent of its customers would pay less under the new structure, people like Kilborn, who have no choice but to heat with electricity, have seemingly paid much more.

“I’m glad they ordered the report on it,” he said.

Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer has previously called on the BCUC to increase the lower threshold and is trying to arrange a meeting with the B.C. energy minister to discuss the matter.

He thinks the 149 complaints are just the tip of the iceberg.

“Not everybody wrote directly

to the BCUC, so there’s a lot more. A lot of people wrote to their MLAs or they sent it to the government,” Bauer said.

“I think the number is actually quite a bit higher.”

FortisBC spokesperson Neal Pobran said the company volun-teered to complete the prelimi-nary study.

“We were sensing that some of our customers we’re paying more from this rate, so I think they spoke out and that’s part of why we want to speed up this report, is because we were hearing from our customers,” he said.

Pobran said the volume of complaints to the BCUC “is probably more than they (usu-ally) receive,” but he noted it represents just a fraction of the company’s 130,000 customers in the Southern Interior.

It’s expected the report will provide recommendations, plus “evaluate if the conservation rate’s impact is consistent with ex-pectations and discuss any other lessons that have been learned” since implementation, BCUC acting director of customer rela-tions Kristine Bienert said in a statement.

“The BCUC will determine what actions, if any, should be taken once the report has been received and the data has been reviewed in full,” she said.

In its original January 2012 decision on the two-tiered rate structure, the BCUC noted it is “be� tting an era where the provincial legislation encourages conservation.”

Three resolutions regarding the issue are on the agenda for the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention later this month in Vancouver.

The Wine Route Riders’ recent Pig Out and Poker Run raised $545 to go towards the Kobau Park bandshell.This year’s fundraising effort has the group realizing a total of $5,733.26 in funds raised for local community projects over the past four years.

Organic Farming Institute of B.C. Chair Denise Blashko and George Hanson, Vice-Chair, brought members of the Similkameen Valley Planning Society up to date on the institute’s activities at the SVPS meeting held August 28.

The institute was seeking the society’s bless-ing to use the SVPS domain name referring to Cawston as the “Organic capital of Canada.” The OFIBC would like to use the trademark “more aggressively” in promoting the insti-tute’s agenda and educational products.

The OFIBC is also seeking a long term lease on 10 to 20 acres in order to establish a base for the institute’s operations.

Members of the SVPS discussed several potential options and locations in the Lower Similkameen that might be suitable for the institute to locate on.

SVPS Chair Manfred Bauer provided the society with an update on the Tourist Advisory Council. He told the group that a partnership proposal with Black Press for publication of a valley wide tourist guide was being finalized.

Lower Similkameen Indian Band Chief Rob Edwards noted an historical error in the present guide that defined the word Keremeos in native language as meaning “windy cross-ing place.”

“The word actually involves a creek cutting

across a bench,” he explained. LSIB band member Tracy Lawlor further

noted that had the band been approached, there could have been an accurate write up.

The article in question made its first ap-pearance in the tourist guide in 2004.

A draft copy of the Similkameen Valley Watershed Plan was presented for review, but several members of the society had not had an opportunity to look the document over. Phase one of the study has been completed and the draft copy will be presented to the regional district board during the first meet-ing of October. As members’ reviews were not complete, there was no discussion regarding direction of the study in phase two.

The furore and confusion over a recent Fortis newspaper ad claiming a notice of disposition was discussed. Fortis representa-tive Roger Mayer told members that Fortis was “as shocked as everyone else was” about the ad, which appeared in three Similkameen newspapers.

“It wouldn’t be a disposition, it would be a Crown land lease,” Mayer said, noting that what Fortis was requesting did not require public input. He added that the advertising error appeared to originate at the provincial ministry level.

A recent spill of coal tailings into the Tulameen River was also discussed. Members agreed that there was a need for a better noti-fication process regarding issues with the val-ley’s river systems. Discussion centred on the development of an early detection and alert system that could activate emergency services and inform local politicians of changes to the Similkameen watershed’s water quality and status. The society agreed that any initiative

Scott Tremblay was busy last week at Si-milkameen Elementary Secondary School, getting ready for the new school year as well as getting acquainted with his new role as Vice Principal at the school.

“It’s a huge learning curve,” he admitted, but I’m happy to be here, supporting the school this way.”

Tremblay has been on SESS staff since 1999, and has become very familiar with the school and the Lower Similkameen.

“I’m looking forward to this school year,” Tremblay said, “Kate and I work well together, and I know most of the staff.” Tremblay, who is an accomplished triathlete in his own right, plans to take on additional responsibilities as Athletic Director for the school.

“We have so many good athletes here,” he said, “the volleyball, basketball and cross coun-try teams all made the provincials last year. The school has a lot of athletic talent.”

Governor General’s Award recipientJesse Hitchen is Similkameen Elemen-

tary Secondary School’s Governor General Award recipient. Jesse � nished her studies at SESS with an average of her grade 11 and 12 courses at 90.4 per cent and is off toUBC Okanagan this fall.

Presenting the the award to Jesse is SESS Principal Cate Turner and SESS Vice Prin-cipal Scott Tremblay.

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.

The start of a new school year presents new challenges, as well as opportunities. Parents want to give their children all the help they can to make each year a success. Some of the most important decisions that parents make in caring for their children concern their health. Kids are notorious for never-ending supplies of energy. They need the proper foods to keep those energy levels up so that they can run, play, learn, and grow strong, healthy bodies to carry them into adulthood.Every minute, 200 million cells are being renewed or reformed inside a child’s body. Cells need vitamins, minerals, fats, protein, carbohydrates, and water to keep the body functioning smoothly. Fresh fruits and vegetables are the best way to get these nutrients. Kids love the taste and crunchiness of raw veggies. A container of cut up veggies and dip in the fridge is a quick, healthy snack.Everyone needs several glasses of clean water daily, and children are no exception. Ensure that your child is drinking enough water, not just pop or juice. The Canadian Pediatric Association has suggested limiting children’s juice intake to no more then 5-7 ounces a day. Even 100% fruit juices are basically empty calories, providing few of the nutrients, and none of the fiber, of the original fruit. Kids are forming taste preferences at this age that will follow them into adulthood, and large amounts of sweet drinks are linked to weight problems and diabetes later on in life.Essential fatty acids, better known as omega-3 or omega-6 oils are necessary for proper brain functioning, and are help-ful for every system in the body. Incorporating these good fats into the diet can significantly reduce ADHD symptoms. Good sources of EFAs are nuts, seeds, avocados, and fish. You can also use flax or hemp oils on food in place of butter or chemical-laden salad dressings.Avoid processed foods. Processing reduces the nutritional value of food, particularly vitamin and mineral content, leav-ing foods high in calories and low in nutrients. Processed foods also tend to be high in sugar and salt. These foods cause blood-sugar levels to spike, creating hyperactive, or irritable children; and then drop, causing children to become tired or cranky. The closer a food is to its natural state, the better. Follow the old rule, and if you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it.For a delicious and healthy snack, try homemade smoothies. Smoothies are kid-friendly, colourful, nutritious, and easy to prepare. Kids old enough to operate the blender can use this time to experiment, and will probably come up with interest-ing recipes of their own.Basic smoothie recipe:1 frozen banana, cut into chunks1-cup plain (or vanilla) yogurt2 cups orange juiceBlend for 30 seconds to a minute on medium speed.To this basic recipe you can add any fresh, frozen or canned fruit or berries that you have on hand – blueberries, strawber-ries, pineapple, peaches, and mangoes work particularly well. Other extras to try are peanut (or other nut) butters, green food powder, and soy, rice, hemp, or whey protein powders.Above all else, be a good role model. Children learn by imitation. If they see their parents eating and enjoying a variety of healthy foods, then good nutrition will be an easy habit to get into.

The Lower Similkameen Com-munity Services Society has been operating its “Meals on Wheels” program since 2001.

The service provides a noon meal delivery service to Keremeos residents three times per week.

Meals on Wheels are available Monday, Wednesday and Friday, currently serving 18 clients in the Keremeos area.

The meals are prepared by Interior Health kitchen staff at the Keremeos Health Centre, packed in individual styrofoam meal containers by volunteer kitchen assistants and then delivered by vol-unteer drivers.

Residents who use the service include people recovering from a hospital stay and seniors who need some assistance meeting their nutri-tional needs while continuing to live in their own homes.

Cost of the ser-vice is � ve dollars per meal.

“It’s a substan-tial serving,” Keller added, “usually con-

sisting of an entree, soup, salad, dessert and a bun.”

The service area for Meals on Wheels includes Keremeos, Cawston and Olalla.

A number of long time dedi-cated volunteers have assisted with the program for many years, but there is always room for more.

“We are always looking for volunteers,” said Volunteer Co-ordinator for the Lower Similka-meen Community Services Soci-ety’s Susan Keller.

Those wishing to volunteer with Meals on Wheels should contact Susan Keller at the Lower Similkameen Community Ser-vices Society: 250-499-2352.

Marilyn and Larry Culos are busy preparing for their third annual pilgrimage to the Mexican Baja.

The Keremeos couple, who reside in the Sunkatchers RV Park for six months of the year, have used their annual sojourn to deliver school supplies collected through donations for distribu-tion to Mexican school students.

“The Bargain Store in Kere-meos has been one of our main suppliers locally,” Larry said recently. “Last year we gathered basic school supplies - pencils, paper, pens and notebooks.”

A box of coloured chalk was a big hit with Mexican teachers last year, Larry noted.

The Culos’ efforts provided enough school supplies for two schools in the village of Los Bar-riles, a community roughly the size of Keremeos located halfway

between La Paz and Los Cabos on the southern tip of the Baja.

Twenty-four boxes of supplies made up last year’s effort.

“We also had some toys, and other items that were donated,” Larry said, “it’s not just one per-son or one company that provides the donations.” A donation of 3,800 pencils, for instance, came from as far away as Vernon.

The Culos’ enlisted the aid of two friends who were also head-ing south in a van and a motor home, to help transport the goods to Mexico.

They are currently collecting donations as they prepare for this years’ journey.

“Anything that a young stu-dent might be able to use, except clothing,” Marilyn said, “clothing doesn’t seem to be an issue down there.”

Those interested in providing a donation can reach the Culos at: 250-499-2065, ext. 126.

Larry and Marilyn Culos pose beside the van which they use to make annual trips to Mexico. The Culos’ also take boxes of school supplies for distribution to Mexican elementary school students.

news

A tailings spill from the Basin Coal Mine near Tulameen has resulted in an ad-visory from Interior Health regarding the river’s water quality.

Interior Health advised area resi-dents on Wednesday, August 28 that there would be little or no impact to drinking water sources in the Coalmont and Tula-meen areas as a result of the tailings spill.

“There are no reg-ulated water systems in the Coalmont or Tulameen area that draw from surface wa-ter. All the water sys-tems draw from well

water and well water is unaffected by this spill. Information ob-tained from the Min-istry of Environment water license database indicates that there are no surface water intakes until two to three kilometres up-stream of Princeton,” stated the bulletin.

Interior Health further advised that the river should now be flushed clear for residents drinking

water directly from the Tulameen River. If, however, water ap-pears discoloured, it is recommended that residents use bottled water until the water runs clear.

For people swim-ming on the river, In-terior Health recom-mends that they take routine precaution-ary measures: Do not drink untreated sur-face water, keep eyes closed under water

and vigorously towel dry off after swim-ming. If the water is turbid or discoloured, Interior Health rec-ommends avoiding swimming.

Ministry of En-vironment is con-ducting sampling of the Tulameen River around Coalmont and Princeton to fur-ther con� rm there are no impacts on water quality.

Several Keremeos

residents noticed a discoloured Similka-meen River two weeks ago. It was deter-mined then that the discolouration was the result of isolated heavy rain in the up-per Similkameen wa-tershed.

Lannea Parfitt, Communicat ions Of� cer with Interior Health told the Re-view in an email that “There has been no indication that the

spill impacted water in the Similkameen River. In fact there is no evidence that the product made it to Princeton on the Tulameen River.

Therefore, Kere-meos will not have any impacts.”

If residents have questions related to their drinking water quality, they can call IH Health Protec-tion’s Penticton of� ce at 250-770-5540.

Tailings spill into Tulameen River will not affect Similkameen River, says health authorityAlarm raised over water quality for the second time in as many weeks

FREEMANSISTER DEBRA FRANCES, SSA: Sister Debra Frances Freeman, SSA. Born April 13, 1957 in Cold Lake, Alberta; died August 27, 2013 at Hospice in Victoria, B.C. Beloved daughter,

the eldest of three children of George and Norma Freeman (Harris), Debra entered The Sisters of St. Ann in 1986. She pronounced her vows on August 16, 1988. During her childhood years, Debra lived in Europe, Ontario and Quebec due to her father’s service with the RCAF. The family later settled in British Columbia and Debra graduated from Similkameen Secondary School, Keremeos in 1975 and from St. Joseph’s School of Nursing, Victoria in 1979. Prior to entering The Sisters of St. Ann, Debra ministered as a registered nurse at Prince George Regional Hospital and Cowichan District Hospital; after entering she nursed at Victoria Hospice. Following clinical pastoral training, Debra served as Chaplain and Coordinator of Volunteers at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver on the palliative care unit (1990-1993). She was awarded a Certi cate of Recognition from the nursing program at New Caledonia College in gratitude for her support and contribution to the program. In 1997, Debra changed ministry paths and obtained a Master’s Degree in Ministry and Spirituality from Regis College, Toronto and a Diploma in Spiritual Direction from Mercy Centre in California. After her studies, Debra returned to minister at Queenswood Spirituality Centre in Victoria as Program Coordinator, Spiritual Director and Retreat Director. She also served her Community as a member of the Provincial Council.In 2005, Debra chose, for a short time, to embrace the life of The Poor Clares Community in Duncan. When she returned to Victoria and The Sisters of St. Ann, Debra assisted our senior Sisters at St. Ann’s Residence until she herself needed care. From her earliest years, Debra’s creativity ourished through her art and while at St. Ann’s Residence and Camelot she gave herself increasingly to the ministry of art. Especially during these last two years she strove to live life fully, graciously and sensitively, inspiring many as she faced the challenges of aggressive cancer. Predeceased by her brother, James (“Jimmy”) (1988) and her father, George (2002), Sister Debra is survived by her mother, Norma; sister, Colleen Hackenberg (Steve); nieces, Celeste and Erin; aunts, uncles, cousins, many friends and her religious community of The Sisters of St. Ann.The Sisters express profound gratitude to Debra’s very close friend, Joy Zwicker and her family; to the James Bay Home Care staff; Doctors Truong, MacPherson and Battershill; and the amazing staff and volunteers at Victoria Hospice.Prayers will be held on Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at 7 p.m. in Sands Funeral Home Chapel 1803 Quadra Street, Victoria. Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, September 4, 2013 at Holy Cross Parish, 4049 Gordon Head Road, Saanich, BC. Interment following at Hatley Memorial Gardens.
