Keremeos RCMP calls up in second quarter Keremeos RCMP reports activities for second quarter to village council By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Students like Shantell also like it See page 4
Keremeos crime statistics for the second quarter of 2013 indicate a 16 per cent increase in calls to the RCMP. Break and enters doubled from three to six compared to the same period last year. Two of those break ins occurred to village restaurants on the nights of April 8 and
9. No suspects have yet been identified in those instances. The Citizens on Patrol program continued to be very active during the second quarter of 2013, conducting regular weekend patrols through the village. Six drug offenses were investigated during the quarter. A search warrant issued under the Excise Act revealed 6,000 cigarettes which were destined for illegal sale. Seventy-seven warnings, 25 tickets and 15 alcohol related motor vehicle offences were recorded during the quarter, with eight 90 day Immediate Roadside Suspensions,
one 30 day IRP and three three day IRPs. The Restorative Justice Program has not yet launched in Keremeos. A training opportunity for Keremeos community members is scheduled for October 18 - 20. Currently there are no chronic offenders in the Keremeos detachment area. The detachment did not receive any tips relating to events in Keremeos during the second quarter. The rash of incidents that took place in Keremeos last week will be reflected in statistics for the third quarter.

Keremeos firefighters douse a blaze in a newspaper box on 11th Avenue that was deliberately set ablaze on Monday morning, August 26.
Downtown Keremeos fell victim to two more senseless break ins in the business block this week. The owner and operator of the Crowsnest Bakery, Sascha Heincke, and Mark Mudahy were surprised and frustrated by an early morning break in at the bakery on Wednesday, August 21. The front door had been smashed and a small quantity of cash taken. “Mark lost about $100, from the till,” said Heincke, “he left the shop about 4:30 a.m. and was back within the half hour. He’s convinced he knows who is responsible.” Thursday morning, neighbouring business owners discovered the door to Me ‘n Bokboks Pizza had also been smashed. Trevor Milton, operator of Bokboks, was cleaning up the pieces of broken door midway through Thursday morning. “I have an alarm, but there was no call to my house,” he said. “They didn’t take anything but a can of Red Bull, but they did leave some evidence, which I hope police will be able to use.” Milton figures the break in occurred around the same time as the bakery.
“It seems like the same pattern,” he reasoned. The two senseless acts netted thieves very little in the way of cash, but have resulted in big bills for the businessmen.The bakery door was replaced at a cost of $400, but the Bokboks door requires custom work and will likely be a couple of hundred dollars more. The break ins bear a similarity in method to two previous occurrences earlier this year in the business section. In early April, the Branding Iron and K Cafe were broken into over two consecutive mornings. In both cases, the front doors were smashed in order to gain entrance. More senseless destruction took place Monday morning when Keremeos firefighters answered two calls for fires in newspaper boxes. At 3:30 a.m. August 26, a plastic Western News paper box between Pharmasave and the Benja Thai Restaurant disappeared due to fire. The Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire Department were then called out once again around 6:30 a.m. to extinguish the contents of a metal Southern Exposure news paper box on 11th Avenue.
Second accident at Yellow Lake in less than a week By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview. com Another accident occurred in the Yellow Lake area, less than five days apart. At approximately 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, August 21, a single vehicle MVA just south of Twin Lakes Road sent two people to hospital and shut down Highway 3A for over an hour. Police, Kaleden fire department personnel, and BC Ambulance attended the scene. Two people were transported to hospital, and later released. Traffic was backed up in both

Portage school bucks budget trend By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview. com When it comes to public education, it seems like the only news that makes headlines these days are stories about budget cutbacks. That presumably, was the intent behind six interior school board representatives who visited the Portage Keremeos youth rehabilitation centre last March. They were looking for ways to cut the budget, but after a tour of the facility they had a change of heart. The cuts weren’t made - as a matter of fact, they actually increased the budget to Portage. “The teachers who work here work for the local school board,” explained Portage Director Diane Power-Jeans. “Any funding comes from School District 53.” Portage runs four classrooms at their Crossings facility, located six kilometres west of Keremeos. Teachers instruct three days each week through the school year and two days each week during the summer. There is an additional part time art teacher, in addition to a Teaching Assistant. “They said, ‘Wow, what a wicked program,’” PowerJeans added. “They couldn’t understand why our beds weren’t full.” “Six retired school superintendents toured the facility in March,” explained School Liason Officer Steve Pozzobon, “as part of a provincial audit team. They were very impressed with what they saw at Portage. As a result, funding to provide increased programming is being made available.” There are currently 12 residents undertaking the Portage program. During an average six month
stay at the facility, residents have the opportunity to get as many as two years academic credits some can actually achieve their high school graduation. Math, science and English is taught at Portage. Art instruction, woodworking and personal development are on the books, and a cafeteria program is now underway. “I think it’s one of the things that keeps kids here,” said Power-Jeans. “Kids grab onto it they can actually do something with it.” That’s the way Portage resident Shantell feels. The 18 year old is currently taking phys Ed and math courses, and intends to become a Registered Nurse. “I’m planning to go to Thompson Rivers University after my outward grad studies,” she said. “I won’t be quite finished my grade 12 when I leave here, but I will finish my courses at home and graduate in 2014. “ Shantell has completed half of her program at Portage. “This is the best place, school wise,” she said enthusiastically, noting the benefits of small classes and the one to one relationships in learning that is available at Portage. “Most of us don’t know how to study. Naomi and Cody (Portage teachers) give us the skills and they don’t give up. I like the setup. Older students assist the younger ones, there’s lots of personal help. I’m really grateful for that, and I really respect the teachers here.” Portage gets its teachers through the You Learn program, which has learning centres in Oliver, Osoyoos and Keremeos. In addition to providing instructors to the Portage program, You Learn also caters to home
schooled and adult students. “The majority of students at Portage do better - but the educational training goes hand in hand with the therapy,” said Cody, a three year teacher at Portage. “The problems that turn them to their addictions are the same ones that don’t allow them to succeed in school,”
he added, “as they get organized, learn to structure their lives and deal with stress, their abilities in school also improve. The access to professional therapy gives them an opportunity to get the social, emotional and educational focus they need. Kids suddenly discover they can do this, they can get an education.
It’s a pretty amazing experience, to watch these kids put in the effort, come clean, and have them realize, ‘I can learn.’ I feel strongly that there is a need for this system in more places than Portage,” Cody concluded, “there should be a set up in every elementary and high school in the province - Portage could be used as a model.”

Tim Cottrill of Robin Ridge Winery. This year’s summer weather was generally good to Similkameen vineyards, creating conditions for a vintage year. The winery was picking table grapes last week.
Good growing year for grapes - so far Growers cross fingers in anticipation of a great harvest as season enters final stage By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com “I got up this morning, ready to spray, stepped outside and felt a few raindrops,” said Robin Ridge Winery’s Tim Cottrill last Friday, August 23. “I began cutting grass, then realized it wasn’t raining. I managed to get one section sprayed before a wind suddenly came up and the rain really started.” Fighting soggy weather has been the exception for growers in the Similkameen this year, however. “We had a great winter, no significant temperature spikes - it looks good. We’re on target for a fine vintage this year,” Cottrill said. “That hot week we had in May advanced the crop, with perfect weather at bud break.” The Lower Similkameen has largely escaped extreme or freakish weather this year, other than for a band of hail that covered Puddinghead Mountain on August 1. “The mountain was white with hail, but I don’t think any growers were hit,” Cottrill said. July and August saw a large number of days with 30 degree Celsius - plus heat,
but Cottrill doesn’t believe it was extreme enough to have shut down the plants. Robin Ridge grows Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Gamay and Coronation grapes on 10 acres along Middle Bench Road. Cottrill began picking the Coronation (table grapes) this week - two weeks earlier than normal. “We’ve experienced a strong and consistent market for the table grapes,” Cottrill said, adding that most of the grapes are sold in Vancouver. Robin Ridge most recently received a gold medal for their Chardonnay at the All Canadian spring wine championships. They also picked up a best varietal award for their Gamay at the spring Wine Festival. Sooke Harbourhouse on the Lower Mainland features the winery’s Gamay. “We are introducing a new wine this fall,” Cottrill noted, “ a Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Savignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. In spite of last Friday’s wet weather, predictions for the remainder of the growing season don’t anticipate any major variances in the weather, good news for a harvest that looks like it could have excellent quality. “The groundwork has been laid for a good harvest,” Cottrill concluded, “barring any massive weather changes, we could be looking at an early harvest in addition to being a great vintage. Everyone’s excited about that.”

The Review
Publisher: Don Kendall 605 7th Avenue, Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0
Editorial Someone knows something It was a relatively calm and crime free summer in Keremeos - up until last week, at least. Two break ins on Seventh Avenue, that appeared to mirror very similar events last April, left two Keremeos business owners shaking their heads in frustration. The damage done to gain entrance to both businesses far exceeded the criminal’s take from the crime . One of the businesses even had a sign on the door that stated there was no cash on the premises, but the criminals broke the door any way. Perhaps reading is an issue to these people. Similar break ins along Seventh Avenue in years past have resulted in similar outcomes damage far exceeding the amount taken from the business. Earlier this week, police and fire department members answered calls to burning newspaper boxes in the village. In one case in particular, the proximity of the box to other flammable objects was such that this simple act of stupidity could have resulted in a much greater loss of property, or a threat to someone’s life. The crimes appear to be happening during the early morning hours. As Keremeos detachment commander Martin Trudeau puts it, “There are people out there who definitely know what happened and we want to hear from them.” The people committing these acts haven’t shown a large degree of intelligence so far, so it would appear they have just been lucky not to have been caught yet. Hopefully, there’s an early bird in Keremeos who looked out the window or happened on the street at the right time, who can provide the police with the information they need to get this loutish, destructive behaviour off the streets, before serious damage or harm is done.

There doesn’t seem to be any stopping this “holy terrier” By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com My wife became interested in Welsh Terriers after our Newfy Pyrenees cross died last year, but we were having a hard time finding one. The breeders that we spoke to all had waiting lists. We finally found a breeder within driving distance and drove down south of the line one weekend to pick up Angus. He seemed like a quiet dog, falling asleep in his kennel on the ride home. Eight months later, we’ve gotten to know the real Angus. He’s pretty much full grown now - about 20 inches high, 25 pounds of pure craziness. I call him “Crazy dog” as often as I do Angus. He listens equally well to both monikers. We were not all that familiar with terriers, as neither of us had ever owned one. The best descriptors I can think of for this little beast is “mischievous,” “ impish” and “incor-
rigible.” Last year, I spent most of the spring building fences to keep the deer in our neighbourhood out. I spent most of this spring building more fences to keep Angus in. If Angus gets it in his mind that he wants to go somewhere, or chase something, there doesn’t seem to be anything humanly possible that can be done to stop him. I began installing three foot high fence to keep him in; I finished with four foot fence, and I’m doubtful whether that will be enough to stop him. Angus delights in stealing whatever it is you might be working with, or whatever happens to be lying around - shoes, brooms, gloves, tools (my wife found a pair of pliers that had gone missing, buried in the yard) and running around the yard, hoping someone will give chase - a blissfully happy 25 pound bundle of curly fur and pure joy, his back feet kicking sideways ever so slightly in cheekiness. His favourite pastime is
ball chasing. He can fetch for hours, then bring the ball into the house to toss it around by himself, if he has too, using his mouth. He reminds me of a gambling addict who can’t put the dice down. My wife has always seen the need for discipline, but Angus usually makes me laugh, even when he’s at his precocious worst. I find his boundless energy and “sworn to fun, loyal to none” attitude too endearing to ever discipline him for. That changed last week, however. We went camping up at Jewel Lake and took Angus out for a kayak. We stopped at a boat launch midway up the lake to give him a break from swimming, and somehow, he managed to wriggle out of his life jacket, and his leash. As soon as he realized what he had done, it was like he’d broken out of prison. He gave us a look that said, “I’m free at last! I’ll send you a postcard!” And he was gone. Well, actually, he began to make ever increasing

exploratory circles of the area, making sure we were still nearby, but not allowing himself to be caught, and getting bolder with each free minute. Attempts to entice him to within our grasp were ignored. With visions of him disappearing into the forest, totally at the mercy of any animal out there, we were fortunate that he was attracted to some people at a nearby cottage. Ever the social dog, he managed to get through their fence, where, luckily, the cottage owner was able to grab hold of him for us. I realize now that, somehow, this impetuous little pooch needs to understand and obey his master’s commands. I’m sure we’ll eventually get through to him - I can see we are making progress, but it is slow. And I guess I’ll have to do my part and provide Angus with some back up discipline, rather than leave it all in my wife’s hands. Tomorrow, for sure. Today, he’s just too cute.

Auntie Doll’s Olalla
Part three Residents of Olalla are discovering a new found pride in their community, spearheaded by a local group of concerned citizens known as the “Friends of Olalla.” The group is dedicated to improving the public’s perception of the community by subtle improvements to tidiness of the community, and recently by the construction and placement of identifying signs at either entrance to the hamlet. In a further effort to improve public perception of the community and provide residents with a link to Olalla’s colourful past, the Review will be running a series of articles in the coming weeks that describe Olalla’s proud links to the past, as well as its significance to the development of the Lower Similkameen. Auntie Doll is a 95 year old resident of Olalla, and has graciously shared her view of Olalla through the years. She was born in 1918 and her first memories were of school, and the school building was Photo by Steve Arstad in what is now known as “Lower Olalla” which is the portion below the highway.

Police seeking help from the community in two investigations By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Police are requesting the public’s assistance in providing information which may help in the following investigations : First, police are investigating the report of a hit and run motor vehicle incident which took place on Saturday, August 17 at approximately 11 p.m. on Hwy 3 by Schneider Road, just around the corner from the police detachment. The victim was driving a red car and was struck from behind by another vehicle who was likely travelling too fast. The suspect vehicle was described as being a black or dark sport utility vehicle, possibly a Toyota, and simply drove past the red car and sped away after the collision. This dark SUV should have significant damage to the front bumper area, possibly with red paint marks on it. No one was seriously injured but the occupants of the red
car did suffer from whiplash. “This could be a case where someone may try to explain recent unusual damage or marks to their vehicle or to a vehicle they borrowed from someone” reported Coporal Trudeau. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Keremeos RCMP Detachment or Crime Stoppers. Police are also seeking the public’s assistance in solving the break and enter of two Keremeos businesses on Seventh Avenue, which took place approximately 24 hours apart. Wednesday morning at approximately 4 a.m. (August 21) someone smashed the glass front door of the Crowsnest Bakery, broke into the till and stole an undisclosed amount of money before running away. Then at approximately the same time the next morning, someone smashed the front door of Me ‘n
BokBok’s Pizza across the street, causing the same type of damage before rifling through the till which had been left empty as a preventative measure by the owner. “There is a sign on the front door which clearly stated that no money was being left on the premises but evidently, the culprits couldn’t read.” said Corporal Trudeau. “We contacted members of the Forensic Identification Section to have the scenes examined for forensic evidence which may help solve this crime but the evidence which often helps the most comes from the eye and ears of people from the community,” he added. “There are people out there who definitely know what happened and we want to hear from them, either directly, or anonymously through Crimes Stoppers.” Keremeos RCMP can be contacted at: 250-499-5511. Crime Stoppers may be reached at: 2501800-222-8477

The door of Bokboks Pizza was one of two businesses vandalized last week in downtown Keremeos. Damage far exceeded valuables taken in both incidents.
South Okanagan Victim Assistance Society (SOVAS) receives Community Foundation grant Contributed The South Okanagan Victim Assistance Society (SOVAS) recently received a grant of $3,500 from

Keremeos’ oldest resident turns 106 Madeline Chapple celebrates with family and fellow Orchard Haven residents By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com

Madeline Chapple celebrated her birthday at Orchard Haven last week.
Madeline Chapple celebrated her 106th birthday at Orchard Haven in Keremeos on Friday, August 23. The year Madeline was born - 1907Henry Ford sold 2,500 Model R’s, the Kenora Thistles won the Stanley Cup, and Oklahoma became the 46th state. Surrounded by family and fellow residents, the centagenarian appeared much younger than her physical age would indicate, resplendent in sparkling jewellery and
a small tiara. Madeline spent much of her life in Chatham, Ontario. She moved west to Williams Lake when she was 80, living independently until she was 98 years old. She was one of the first residents of Kyalami Place when it opened in 1998, moving to the Orchard Haven wing six years ago. Madeline celebrated her big day with a noon hour birthday party, with son Ralph and daughter in law Susan at her side.

Regional district fails to renew safety certification This year, the regional district failed to achieve COR status following an April audit. Chief Administrative Officer Bill Newell told the board at the August 15 board meeting that program guidelines that outlined how corporations are recognized were changed, resulting in a lower audit. “Peripheral organizations are now reviewed separately,” Newell told the board, noting that fire departments and recreation committees had previously been audited as part of the core organization. The new guidelines required them to be audited as stand alone departments, which resulted in deficiencies having a bigger effect on the overall score. The regional district achieved a score of 55 per cent on the April audit, against an overall passing requirement of 80 per cent. (In 2010, the regional district scored 81 per cent.) One particular criticism in an executive summary of the audit report, released on August 21, noted that “Few recommendations from the 2010 audit were implemented, particualarly where peripheral operations are involved. Many recommendations made in 2010 were made again in this audit.” Another recommendation called for the RDOS to “consider providing a dedicated safety resource person to the fire departments to be responsible for developing standards, operating procedures and overall safety management.” The released copy was also edited to remove references to the specific peripheral departments selected for audit. Newell advised the board that the Health and Safety Committee was working on the peripheral departments. “We have work to do with volunteer fire and recreation departments,” he said. COR certification was worth $15,000 to the regional district in WCB premium rebates. The COR program requires an external audit every fourth year. In 2016, to recertify, the regional district would require the services of a contracted consultant to Wendy and Stephen Hunt were on a recent trip to Europe to visit their administer the audit, Just ask daughter, Ashley Hunt, who is living there as a nanny.

By Steve Arstad The regional district will be paying more in Workers Compensation premiums this year after failing to achieve Certificate of Recognition (COR) status. The Regional District Okanagan Similkameen has participated in the COR program (a provincial program that rewards employers who develop and implement safety management systems based on industry standards) since 2010. The RDOS achieved COR status for its workplace safety program and its return to work program in 2010 and successfully completed internal audits in each of the subsequent two years.

Policy change requested to boulevard maintenance at council meeting By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Corporal Martin Trudeau provided council with a quarterly update at the Monday, August 19 meeting of Keremeos council. He presented two quarterly reports to council, the second one describing police activities since Trudeau took over duties as acting area commander after Area Commander Mike Gallagher was temporarily reasigned to Princeton. Trudeau told council that the first quarter of this year resulted in 60 more calls for service from the RCMP over last year, including a doubling of break and enters from three to six. Trudeau also noted that farmworkers issues were a focus for the RCMP over the summer. “We can’t resolve these issues, but they are manageable,” he told council, adding that he had taken on a zero tolerance policy with respect to transient misbehaviour. Corporal Gallagher will be returning to Keremeos in a month or two, as the position in Princeton has now been filled. Another member of the local detachment has been transferred to a special unit, and Trudeau said that he, too, would soon be returning to his previous posting in Penticton.
“You’ve done a really good job. Congratulations on your efforts with local business,” Mayor Manfred Bauer told Trudeau. Peter Robinson and Carol Suhan, on behalf of Fortis BC, presented the Community Energy Association’s South Okanagan Similkameen Energy Diet to council. The program, which involves enhanced opportunities to take part in residential energy efficient upgrades, was introduced to regional district directors on Aug.15.

How to improve test-taking skills Students are periodically tested to gauge their progress on a variety of subjects. Although testing can be an effective way to determine a student’s understanding of a given subject, not every student performs well on tests. Test-taking comes easily for some but not so for others. Nerves or trouble concentrating can foil the best students. However, there are ways for students to improve their test-taking skills. Preparation Most tests are given with prior notice, enabling students to prepare for them well in advance. Sometimes teachers and professors will surprise students with a quiz. These pop quizzes are used to judge how well students are absorbing the information and if they have been paying attention. When in class, continually jot down notes and create an outline of important information. The teacher may provide hints about the upcoming test, including emphasizing specific areas of focus or even revealing the format of the test. Contrary to what some students believe, teachers want their students to succeed. Therefore, your teacher may offer a review session the day before or be open for questions prior to the test if further clarification is needed. Studying with others can shed new light on a subject. Studying difficult subject matter with peers may help students grasp the materials better than they did in class. Classmates may have some tricks they’ve developed, including pneumonic devices for putting facts together. The day before and the day of the test Prior to a test, make sure you eat and get enough rest. While it may be tempting to pull an “all-nighter,” you will not perform well on the test if you are tired from having studied all night. Review the material and put the main ideas or formulas onto a sheet that can be quickly re-
viewed. Review it many times and then put it away. Have a good meal, relax and try to get at least eight hours of sleep. On the day of the test, wake up and arrive on time or even a few minutes early for your class. This can help to calm your nerves and enable you to squeeze in some last-second studying. The test itself Make sure you have the supplies needed for the test. This may include pens or pencils, a calculator, a textbook if you are allowed to reference, or any other supplies the teacher allows. Have a watch available so that you can pace yourself during the test. Avoid using a mobile phone during the test, as the teacher may misinterpret that as cheating. Try to remain positive through the test. If you feel yourself getting nervous, take a few deep breaths and regroup. In addition to these tips, there are other ways to approach the test. * Do the easiest problems first. If you do not know a question, skip it and move on. There may be clues later on in the test that help you go back and answer skipped questions. * Always read the entire question. Skimming could find you missing important instructions. * Look for words that may help you determine the answer, such as “all,”“never” or “none.” They may present clues to the answer. * Pay attention to your work and only your work. Do not be distracted if others finish before you. * If there is time, go back and look over the test. Make sure that all the questions have been answered and check for any careless mistakes. Proofread any essays and short answer questions. Preparing well for a test, remaining calm and checking over your work can help students who struggle with test-taking do their best.

Great Year!
Building a strong parent-teacher relationship you’re available for discussion any time during the school year and that you look forward to the coming school year and working with the teacher as the year progresses. * Attend “Back to School Night.” School events like an open house or a “Back to School Night” are a great way to help kids grow acclimated to their school. But such events also make great opportunities for parents to learn more about their kids’ teachers than they might have learned during their introductory meeting. Such events may allow teachers to explain the curriculum for the upcoming year, and teachers may feel encouraged when parents show an active interest in such events. * Prioritize parent-teacher conferences. Parent-teacher conferences are a great opportunity for parents to speak to their children’s teacher one-on-one. Unlike an introductory meeting or an open house at the beginning of the school year, a parent-teacher conference allows parents and teachers to specifically discuss students in private. Teachers may provide insight into how a child is performing and behaving in the classroom, offering advice as to how to improve that performance or suggestions as to how to encourage kids to keep up the good work. Such conferences may be your only opportunity for a one-onone, in-person discussion about your child, so make sure you’re on time and that you don’t miss these conferences. Your child’s teacher will appreciate it, and you can use this as an opportunity to ask any questions you have about your child. * Keep the channels of communication open. If it’s been awhile since you’ve spoken to your child’s teacher, don’t be afraid to e-mail the teacher to check in or see if you can lend a helping hand. In addition, if your child really enjoys a teacher’s class, don’t be hesitant to share that with the teacher. Teachers appreciate compliments just like other professionals, and parents should express their gratitude to those teachers who are working hard to make learning fun for their youngsters. Establishing a strong relationship with a child’s teacher can help parents ensure students are making the most of their time in the classroom.
Once a school year begins, many students spend more time in the classroom with their teachers than they do at home with their parents. That’s especially true in dual-income households where both parents work outside of the home. Though many parents would love to spend more time with their children, doing so can be difficult when both parents must go to work every day. Because kids spend so much time with their teachers, it’s important for parents to work toward building a strong parent-teacher relationship. Such a relationship fosters communication, which can help a young student do his or her best in and out of the classroom, something that’s a goal for parents and teachers alike. Parents interested in developing a strong relationship with their kids’ teachers can take several steps to make that happen. * Meet your child’s teacher at the beginning of the year. Teachers have many students come in and out of their classroom on any given day, so it can be hard for teachers to initiate a relationship with parents. Parents have significantly fewer children to look after, so they should take the first step toward building a relationship with Motorists: teachers.

Hospital board elects new chair, discuss hospital funding By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Judy Sentes was elected, by acclamation, vice chair of the Okanagan Similkameen Regional Hospital Board at the August 15 regular hospital board meeting. Regional District Okanagan Similkameen Chief Administrative Officer Bill Newell updated the board on the progress of capital projects for 2013. In the Similkameen, a $290,000 electrical upgrade of the Similkameen Health Centre is nearly complete.
Newell also noted that contractors had been selected for the Penticton Regional Hospital Patient Care Tower business plan study. The companies selected to provide consulting services are: · Architectural services: IBI Group · Electrical services and IMIT services: Genivar Inc. · Mechanical services: Genivar Inc. The hospital board also approved a recommendation endorsing the Patient Care Tower project by requesting letters of support from all RDOS member municipalities, electoral areas and Indian bands within the OSRHD.
The board also discussed the desire to have the business case study completed earlier, rather than later in 2014. Some discussion also took place with respect to how the remaining funding for the regional district’s share of the hospital project would be acquired, whether the remaining financing would come from reserves or future debt. CAO Newell noted that the discussion would be one for budget talks. He further noted that the regional district currently raises five million dollars each year for health funding, but two to three million of that is required for capital budget expenditures.

DUANE PHILLIP: Beloved son of Mona Gair, left us too soon at the age of 47 on August 24, 2013 in Olalla, BC. Duane was born in Comox, BC on April 6, 1966. He spent his life enjoying the outdoors with a great love of life. He was a “driver extraordinaire” in both his personal and professional life. From building Chevy cars and trucks and his Peterbuilt to driving the same with the same natural born ability. His love of nature and the beauty of the world around him led him to enjoy and spend his time exploring it in his cars, trucks, quads and 4x4’s as well as he never missed an opportunity to share his experience with all those around him. Duane is survived by his daughter Sienna of Kaleden, BC; mother Mona Gair (Neil) of Olalla, BC; brother Raymond Bevz (Terry) of OK Falls, BC; sister Shelley Bevz (Mario) of Prince George, BC, and sister Tanya Bevz of Spillimacheen, BC. Duane will also be missed by many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and remaining family and close friends. Memorial service will be held at 11:00 am, Saturday, August 31, 2013 at the Keremeos Elks Hall, 502 Veterans Avenue, Keremeos, BC followed by interment at Marsel Family Cemetary, Hwy 3, Olalla. In lieu of flowers, a memorial contribution may be made to The United Way in Duane’s name.
