The Province of B.C. recently issued a Request for Proposal to lease the Grist Mill properties.

In an effort to make provincially owned heritage properties self-sufficient, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Resource Operations developed the RFP for the purpose of selecting a succsssful proponent with whom to negotiate a lease agreement. The ministry hopes to attract “local gov-ernments, First Nations, School Districts, individuals, businesses, organizations or a combination of the above” with a proposal for use of the Grist Mill property.

The site is presently operated as a mu-seum under the management of Chris Ma-thieson, under a general services contract which ends in March 2015.

The RFP does not stipulate the property be used as a historic site, only that the “new use will be economically viable, will have a public bene� t component, will not depend on the government � nancially, or will sig-ni� cantly reduce � nancial dependence on the government.”

Deadline for proposals is September 26.Present operator Chris Mathieson would

not comment on the RFP .

Regional District Okanagan Similkameen Directors dis-cussed the Fortis Similkameen dam proposal during commit-tee meetings on August 7.

Princeton Director Frank Armitage, West Bench Di-rector Michael Brydon and Princeton rural Director Brad Hope insisted the board meet regularly with Fortis o� cials in order to be kept up to date with respect to the company’s inten-tions with the dam proposal.

“We need to know where we’re at, and where we intend to go,” said Armitage. He in-sisted the board, as represen-tatives of the region, needed to be fully informed about the project.

“We should be talking to Fortis about this on a regular

basis,” he said, “we need to get our homework done, and, let’s talk about revenue sharing, too.”

Brydon agreed, noting the dam proposal was being con-sidered by private sharehold-ers and “their rationale”. He questioned the apparent policy of the provincial government to get out of the dam building business, describing the situa-tion as one where the province, providing regulatory control, should be responsible for do-ing a cost bene� t analysis for the residents of B.C.

“Let me hear from Fortis, but let me also hear from the Governement of British Columbia, that they’re on the job. I don’t want to hear, ‘oh, we’re doing budget cuts, we haven’t looked at it, we don’t have sta� , we haven’t had time to look at what the long term

consequences are.’”Director Hope expressed his

concerns regarding regulatory control, alluding to the recent Imperial Metals dam breech at its Mount Polley Mine near Williams Lake.

“As board directors, we need to know as much as we can about a project like this,” he added. “I’ve been trying for three years to � nd out from Fortis where the revenue was going to be generated from, and this last meeting was vir-tually the � rst time that was mentioned.”

Board Chair Mark Pend-ergraft advised the board of Fortis’ intention to speak to the issue in the coming weeks. He recommended the board wait until that time before requiring an o� cial status update on the

project.Fortis Inc. propos-

es to build a 165 me-tre high dam roughly 15 kilometres south-west of Princeton on the Similkameen Riv-er. The dam would provide 154,000 acre feet of water storage in a reservoir 20 ki-lometres long. Fortis claims the dam will benefit the Similka-meen valley by pro-viding flood mitiga-tion and increased water flows during late summer months.

The ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig’s Disease) Cycle of Hope ride arrived at its final destination in Keremeos Wednesday, August 13.

The riders congregated in front of the Infocentre sign upon their arrival in Keremeos, sharing an emotional few minutes with each other as they ended their eight day journey.

The ride’s mission, to raise ALS awareness and inspire hope for fami-lies living with ALS, appears to be achieving its goal. In just three years the ride has gone from $5,000 raised in the first year to over $55,000 this year. Ride co- founder Cindy Lister was pleased and excited about this year’s success.

“We have 12 riders this year, a few of whom rode with us last year,” Lister said shortly after her arrival in Keremeos around 10:30 a.m.

“Each rider has been affected by ALS to some degree. Everyone here has a story to tell.”

Lister said the group cycled 520

kilometres from Kamloops to Kere-meos, as well as participating in two community rides in Kelowna of 30 and 70 kilometres respectively. She traced the success of the tour’s fund-raising, noting the first year the ride raised $5,000.

“Last year, our goal was $20,000, and we raised $42,000,” she explained. “This year, we hoped to raise $50,000, and so far we’ve raised $55,000.

The ALS Cycle of Hope decided last year to make Keremeos the terminus of the ride. The group was greeted by Acting Mayor Charlene Cowling, in addition to Lower Main-land resident Neil McComb, his wife, Shannon, and their son, Carter. Neil’s family raised $20,000 on their own this year.

“My brother has ALS,” Neil explained, “he was diag-nosed a year and a half ago. “We participated in the Kelowna ride last year, with 13 family members turning out.

“This year 25 of us took part in the 30 kilometre ride. My son Carter also partici-pated in the 30 kilometre ride and raised $6,000.

“Our goal is to support my brother - this event gives our family something to rally around.”

ALS is also referred to

as motor neurone disease (MND), Charcot disease, and, in the United States, Lou Gehrig’s disease.

It is a neurodegenerative disease with various causes. It is characterised by muscle spasticity, rapidly progres-sive weakness due to muscle atrophy, difficulty in speaking (dysarthria), swallowing (dysphagia), and breath-ing (dyspnea).

Funds raised through the Cycle of Hope will help fund breakthrough re-search into treatments and ultimately a cure for ALS and will go towards the purchase of a powered wheelchair for ALS Society of British Columbia. - See more at: http://www.cycleof-hope.ca/#sthash.EktsblJf.dpuf

EditorialElectorate paying a high price for “spin doctors”

Anyone thinking that facts and truthful state-ments are flowing more freely from federal offices would be shocked to read a recent report from Gregory Thomas of the Canadian Taxpayers Fed-eration regarding Ottawa’s “spin doctor” salaries.

Thomas claims information services staff on the federal payroll cost taxpayers 263 million last year.

“Canadians are seeing their money – a quarter billion dollars’ worth – used against them: not to provide them with information, but rather to delay, conceal and spin the information, so as to enhance the image of the party in power,” Thomas says.

Many working in the media would probably have a hard time disagreeing with Thomas’ com-ments.

The provincial government has set themselves up, media - wise, in a fashion similar to the federal government by forcing all enquiries of a goverment agent or department to a communications officer.

Most of the time these media relations people know little about the issue in question. They have to contact those involved, find out the facts and then “spin the gospel” back to the person making the inquiry.

It’s more often than not a pointless exercise, as information is santized, neutralized and made so generic as to be mostly useless.

Every government office, in every community, that has permanent staff should have someone qualified to speak to the public and answer ques-tions pertaining to their business., someone who can do so honestly and directly.

It’s ridiculous to think that farming questions off to a media figure within an organization is going to provide citizens with better or more truthful information regarding local issues. The policy has nothing to do with clarity or openess; it’s an expensive burden on the taxpayer, providing bafflegab but little else.

PuBliSHED THuRSDAYS BY

STEVE ARSTADEditor

TAMMY HARTFiElDProduction

SANDi NOlANSales

It’s with a heavy heart that I’m watching August wind down, and with it, for all intents and purposes, our sum-mer season.

Sure, we can usu-ally count on some nice weather in September, but August, to me, is the month that breaks the back of summer.

I can see our daylight declining on an almost daily basis now - some nights it’s dark well be-fore 9 p.m., and it is now a dusky dawn at 6 a.m., instead of the full day-light of a month ago.

For the past several weeks, it has been ‘way too hot to tackle many yard chores; now they’re looming in front of me when I get home, and now that it is cooling off, I have no more ex-cuses not to do them.

It’s a drag.With a change in the

weather this week, it re-

ally looks like the super hot weather is done for the year. Time to start putting away the water toys, I guess.

The garden is start-ing to look like late stage summer as well. I planted squash, can-telope, cucumbers and zucchini this spring, but for some strange rea-son, only the zucchini grew. It grew very well. I have zucchini coming out of places zucchini shouldn’t even be.

I’ve taken a couple of bags in to give to my fellow co-workers, and to make things interest-ing, asked them each a mildly skill testing question, without letting them know what they could win.

“Congratulations,” I told each of them as they easily answered the question put to them. “You’ve won a zuc-chini!”

I found myself think-ing I should have asked harder questions. If they

answered incorrectly, they’d have to take two zucchini.

At any rate, the veg-etable is piling up in the office. They need to take their winnings home.

Other than for my zucchini, I don’t have a lot of extra vegetables to offer. That’s gener-ally the case; I’m usually lucky if enough comes up to feed my wife and myself for a few meals. I like the idea of grow-ing a garden; I don’t much care for gardening itself.

You’re bent over most of the time, fight-ing weeds that grow far more easily than your vegetables, and constantly having to monitor for pests and diseases. It’s a full time job, and generally by mid summer the weeds have taken over, leaving only the hardiest of my plantings to survive.

The end of summer also comes with it a feel-ing of impending doom.

I think that might be a carry over from my school days, when I would begin to dread the prospect of return-ing for another school year. This year must be even more stressful on those still going to public school, as we’ve heard no word on how the negotiations with the province and the teachers are going.

Finally, as the month winds down, I’m seeing less and less activity on Seventh Avenue. It’s as though people’s atten-tion has turned away from relaxing, and kill-ing time with a cup of coffee at Emmy’s, a hot dog at Rob’s or a beer at the Branding Iron or the Wrong Turn Tavern. As summer comes to an end, it looks like we’re turning to more seri-ous matters than just hanging out. And that’s probably the number one thing that makes this part of the year such a bummer.

Random thoughts on the end of summerBy Steve Arstad [email protected]


news

Eight months after a major rock slide temporarily closed Highway 3 between Hedley and Keremeos, work to construct a concrete barrier at the slide area is scheduled to begin in September.

In response to recent inquiries by the Review to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, a media spokesperson said Monday that a long term safety im-provement plan was being formulated to prevent rockfall from reaching the highway, in addition to eventually restor-ing the road to four lanes.

Information released through Freedom of Infor-mation requests by the Keremeos Re-view and Penticton Western also chron-icled the history of rockfalls in the slide

area, in addition to the ministry’s risk assessment of the slide zone.

In the days fol-lowing the January 27, 2014 rockslide nine kilometres west of Keremeos, highway officials an-ticipated the earthen berm placed in the highway’s west-bound slow lane would remain in place at least until a warm weather event occurred.

An email sent on January 30, 2014, by Jeff Wiseman, Penticton Opera-tions Manager for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, to Argo Road Mainte-nance outlined the traffic protocols to be initiated prior to the highway open-ing that evening af-ter being closed for four days due to the original rockslide.

Originally, the criteria outlined for keeping the highway open involved the the establishment of a light plant to supply lighting to the area, in addition to flaggers and a spotter who would “close monitor” the slide area.

In the case of a rockfall event of up to two cubic metres, all traffic through the area would be

stopped and the area monitored for further events for 30 minutes. If no more rock fell, the high-way would reopen.

If more than two cubic metres fell, all traffic would be stopped and the highway closed until a geotechnical as-sessment could be carried out.

If no activity was reported during the first weekend fol-lowing the Friday evening opening, an enhanced patrol, consisting of a pa-trol once every four hours. The light plants and a loader would remain in place to remove any rockfall material.

The ministry then waited for a warm cycle to occur, anti-cpating if the slope remained stable, a normal patrol of the road (once every 24 hours) would be reinstated.

“Once a warm weather event has occurred and the slope remains inac-tive for rock fall, the ministry will then advise Argo that the protective berm can be removed and work can begin to restore the highway to its previous four lane capacity, re-pairing all damage caused by the rock fall incident at that

time,” the email con-cluded. Subsequent rock slides quickly negated those plans, however.

On February 19, March 5 and again on April 16, minor rock slides occurred at the site. No other significant events occurred at the slide area until the evening of May 4, when, during a heavy rainfall, a couple of boulders tumbled down the mountainside, damaging a trac-tor trailer. Another rockslide occurred on Friday, June 13 again following heavy rains, this time damaging two more vehicles.

An engineering report, issued in April, described the slide area as one of “low frequency, high volume rock fall events which have had high consequences.” It noted that prior to

The Ministry of Trans-portation and Infra-structure recently awarded a contract to Lock-BLock Limited of Richmond, B.C. to supply $113,467.2 worth of concrete retaining blocks to a pullout near the location of the Janu-ary 27 slide area be-tween Keremeos and Hedley. In photo, contract worker Norm Swerd-feger monitors traffic as retaining blocks are stockpiled near the slide site in late July.

To the Editor: I wish to say thank you to the person or

persons who took their time and cleaned up the garbage at Ripley, Madden and Sawmill Lakes.

It really looks 100 per cent better than the last time we were there.

The ducks are swimming, the turtles are

sunning themselves on logs and the mother bear and cubs are nowhere to be seen, and nature is getting back to normal.

Let’s keep the lakes and back woods clean of people’s garbage.

Thank you once again, there are still some caring people out there after all.

Wendy Cordel, Keremeos

If you have a local issue you’d like to vent about, why not send us a Rotten, sour grape? On the other hand, if you have a compliment, or would like to offer some praise, send us a Sweet, Similkameen grape?

We will publish your anonymous submission, as long as attacks on specific businesses and people are not made. Editor’s discretion will be exercised at all times.

Please send your submissions to:[email protected]

Rotten sour grapes Sweet Similkameen Grapes.....

Sour grapes To the changing weather that began last week. Summer is on the wane.

Sour grapesTo the uncertainty surrounding the start of this year’s school year.

Sweet grapes To the efforts of the merchants on Seventh Avenue this summer. Their

hard work and effort is paying off. Downtown Keremeos feels and looks busy these days. Sweet grapes

One good thing about the coming of fall is locals can get out camping again, now the weather has cooled a bit and the tourists have gone for the summer.

Thanks for taking time to clean up lakes

Sweet and Sour grapes

Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department and B.C. Forest Service firefighters spent several hours fighting a wild fire on White Lake Road.

The fire broke out at approximately 3:30 p.m., and was located about one and a half kilometres south of the junction of Highway 97 and White Lake Road.

Kaleden was not initially called to the fire, as dispatch originally contacted Willowbrook Volunteer Fire Department, based on their determination of the location of the blaze. Several minutes passed prior to Kaleden being dispatched, who were on scene in six minutes.

The blaze began on the shoulder of White Lake Road and quickly spread into an adja-

cent forested area. Ground crews were aided by two helicopters, each of which made two drops on the fire.

Kaleden firefighter Dennis Gaudry, who is also a retired Forest Service firefighter, said the area was fuel modified - trees thinned and underbrush cleaned up - in the late 1980s or early 1990s.

“Even though the work was done that long ago, it was evident from the fire behaviour that this fire could still be effectively handled by ground personnel using fire hose,” he said, ranking the fire as a “two and a half, with at-titude.” In spite of the fire’s aggressive behav-iour, there was little in the way of fuels on the forest floor to allow it to “ladder” into the trees.

The fire was contained at approximately 0.15 hectares, with the nearest structures at least several hundred metres away.

Investigators were brought in to help de-termine the exact cause of the fire, which is considered to be person caused.

There has been several wildfires in the area around White Lake in the past three years, all believed to have been person caused.

Fire broke out in an wooded area that had been fuel modified by the Forest Service more than twenty years ago

Another wildfire on White Lake RoadKaleden and forestry firefighters responded quickly to a wild fire on White Lake Road on August 13.

The Keremeos swim club held their wrap up party on Friday, August 15. This year was the first for the Similkameen Steel-heads swim team.The group participated in five “away” meets and raised $2,500 in a swimathon this sum-mer. The pool’s final day of operation is this Friday, August 22.

Lifeguards Olivia Law-rence (left) and Jesse Hitchen were fixtures at the Keremeos pool this summer. It’s the second season in a row working at the pool for the two univer-sity students, who are both studying human kinetics.

Clean up of Keremeos Hotel site underway

“It’s a mess,” said project manager for Peak Environ-mental’s Doug Gillett, sur-veying the Keremeos Hotel property on August 12.

Peak Environmental began the onerous job of clean up of the Keremeos Hotel property this week.

The 108 year old Kere-meos landmark went up in flames on July 14.

The company had an excavator and five employees working the site on Tuesday, separating contaminated materials from non-contaminated materials.

Gillett said a portion of the Red Bridge Pub had been identified as having hazard-ous materials - asbestos - in the drywall mud and in flooring materials. Monitors and pumps had been set up at the work site and across the road at MyTown Re-alty to gauge asbestos particles in the air. The burned material was being kept in a dampened state as the excavator pulled the materials apart.

“The air quality results are analyzed and a daily report summary prepared,” Gillett said, “It’s all about safety.”

Workers, wearing white coveralls and us-ing replaceable filter masks, were disposing of contaminated materials into two dump-sters fitted with a plastic lining. Other materials - concrete, metals, dry, unburned wood and burned wood were separated and placed in separate piles along the east side of the property.

Peak Environmental expects to be on site for 10 days to two weeks to complete the cleanup.

Workers make preparations to d i spose of asbestos products from the wreckage of the Kere-meos Hotel fire last week.

REMODELING INSURANCE CAN PROTECT HOMEOWNERS

Many steps are involved in a successful home remodeling project. A common mistake made by homeowners is fail-ing to consult with a homeowners’ insurance agent before beginning a major home overhaul. The National Associa-tion of Insurance Commissioners advises reviewing your home insurance policy before any significant work is done on your home. The right amount of coverage will protect your assets both during construction and afterward when your home is worth more. According to the independent consumer insurance Web site Insure.com, one in four remodeling projects will increase the value of a home by more than 25 percent, so there’s a good chance you will need to increase your coverage to compensate for renovations done on the home. Many insurance companies require you to insure your home for at least 80 percent of its replacement value. If you have added an extension or installed an inground pool, you may have raised the value of your property enough to necessitate an insurance policy change.Begin by talking with your insurance company and explain the scope of the planned renovations. Inquire whether you will need to update or amend your current insurance policy to protect yourself financially during the renovation. This is particularly important for those who will be doing the work themselves or asking a friend or family member for help. While many contractors have business and gener-al liability insurance to protect themselves if a worker is in-jured, homeowners may need sufficient liability protection in the event a non-contractor gets hurt working on your home. Your insurance company may have other types of insurance to protect you further if you are planning a very large project. Failure to ask about coverage before starting the renovations puts you at risk.If you will be using contractors and subcontractors, be sure that they are insured and bonded. Should they damage your home or be injured during the renovation, their in-surance will cover any resulting expenses. However, if they are not insured or bonded, you may be held liable through your own insurance policy or you may have to pay out of pocket.Keep all receipts and document the progress of the reno-vation. You may need this information to present to your insurance carrier after the renovation is complete. This way you can request a new appraisal of the property and secure adequate insurance coverage.Certain improvements may make you eligible for dis-counts. For example, a new heating system, energy efficient appliances or an alarm system may qualify you for rebates or lower premiums.Homeowners may think they have covered all of their bases when preparing for a home renovation project. How-ever, it also is essential to consider insurance needs before you begin work and then again when the project has been completed and the value of the home has increased.

news

the January 27, 2014 inci-dent, a slide on December 6, 2003 totalling four cubic metres also damaged four vehicles.

“A total of eight recorded rock fall events have occurred with potentially serious con-sequences,” the report said, adding since the January 27, 2014 event there has been an increase in rock fall activity in this area. It also noted the rock was originating from 400 to 500 metres above the highway.

The ministry told the Review in late May “The temporary berm has been successful at reducing rock fall on the road. The minis-try’s geotechnical engineers are reviewing whether or not further modifications at

this site are required while observing the site through the spring thaw.

“Until that assessment is completed, we will leave the temporary berm in place and continue our monitoring process.”

Eight months later, the earthen berm remains while the ministry finalizes plans to complete long term safety improvements to the slide area in two phases:

- Phase one involve the construction of a three me-tre high concrete wall in the westbound slow lane where the earthen berm now sits. The work is expected to be-gin in mid-September.

-Phase two involves the excavation of the upper slope to create a wider ditch, a

large rock catchment area and to re-establish the high-way to four lanes.

The ministry looked at several potential options at widely varying costs, before selecting the two phased ap-proach above.

“Public safety is the min-istry’s top priority,” said the m i n i s -try in its commu-nication. “A num-b e r o f steps are n e c e s -sary be-fore long t e r m s a f e t y improve-m e n t s

are made at this location. including such things as a geotechnical assessment, engineering design work, and materials acquisition.”

The communication did not say how long the project would take to fully complete.

A LOVE FOR LAVENDER

Lavender, mostly known for its beautiful relaxing scent, often seen in sachets and spas, is so much more that a pretty smell. This purple scented flower, native to the Mediterranean, has countless unknown healing properties. I have spent years enjoying the scent of lavender- diffusing it, adding it to the bath for relaxation, however, it wasn’t till recently that I learned how useful this little miracle really is.

In the early 1900’s a French scientist, Rene Gattefosse burned his hand in a libratory, having nothing else around to put out the flame, he immersed his hand in a container of lavender, only to find that the pain dissipated immediately. He then put lavender on it daily and within a short time, it healed free of scarring. Amazed, he went on to study the beautiful plant and found it had chemical constituents, or chemical properties, it was Gattefosse that coined the phrase ‘aromatherpie’ in 1920.

Out on our first camping trip, I spent a little too much time soaking up the sun, only to waken the next morning with quite a burn on my nose and lips. I kept applying chap stick over and over as I had never quite felt my lips so sore. Upon taking a closer look in the mirror, I discovered my lips were actually blistering from the burn-- taking a quick peek in my aroma-therapy bible, I saw that lavender was the best solution so I dabbed it on, undiluted, and instantly felt relief after 3 days of suffering. Later on, I dabbed a bit more on and by suppertime, blisters were gone and lips were fine. Excited at my new dis-covery, I had a client come in who had just had laser surgery on a birthmark, this was her second surgery in the last year to remove the mark. She had a small map of burns across her cheek and was applying a over the counter brand to help it. I quickly blended her a mixture of lavender with a small amount of grape seed oil, she dabbed it on and was also surprised how quickly the burning sensation dissipated. The following day, I received and email from her saying that she woke up to find the laser marks almost half healed, contrary to the weeks it took on her last surgery.

There are many amazing healing properties of all essential oils but in this time of ‘quick fixes’ and ‘prescriptions’ being our first instinct, a lot of the value of essential oils go unnoticed, or what I find when talking to people, is that they just didn’t know about it, didn’t think it was possible that a natural product from Mother Earth could work as well as a manufactured one. What I am finding on my essential oil journey is that more often than not, these little blessings, essential oils, work faster and more effectively.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.

ECSTASYThe drug ecstasy is an illegal recreational drug used by some young people. Even one or two doses of this drug can result in long-term sleep problems. Over 70% of users report having disturbed sleep because the drug, being a stimulant, resets the body’s clock which often resets at the wrong time. Mood disorders can also occur.

ORIGINATED FROM NATUREMany of the drugs we use today originated from nature. It’s always interesting when a common product like thyme, formulated into a tincture, is gound to have antibacterial effects that may make it useful in treating acne. It’s far from being available on our shelves for that purpose but it does show promise.

ANTIBIOTICS HAVE SAVED MILLIONSAntibiotics have saved millions of lives since the discovery of penicillin in the 1940s. In 1900, the three main causes of death were tuberculosis, pneumonia and enteritis (intestinal infections). Antibiotics have reduced the threat of these medical problems immensely.When you receive an antibiotic prescription, our pharmacists will ensure you know how to make it work best for you. We help you understand how it works for you.
