KEREMEOS’ MEXICAN EDUCATION CONNECTION
Schools in the Lower Similkameen buzz with activity Monday as new school year begins By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com It was another hectic first 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 filled with many students getting reacquainted with each other after a summer apart, while others scanned posted messages in the foyer to find out where home room would be this year.

This year’s session begins at Similkameen Elementary Secondary School with a few staffing 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, filling 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 qualified 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, providing 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 enrollment. “It’s good news for us,” said Cawston Primary Principal Linda Thiel. “We are excited to be starting another year at the ‘sunflower school.’” New teaching staff include Mrs. Church, Mrs. Snow, and Mrs. Lange. Mrs. Hunt will be taking over secretarial duties formerly filled by Mrs. Schneider, who retired this year after long service at Cawston Primary.

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 intersections with Keremeos streets.
A rash of thefts from vehicles and general mischief took place in the downtown residential area of Keremeos. “There was a group of several youths who were up to no good late Sunday night, early Monday morning” reported Keremeos Detachment Commander Corporal Trudeau. Police received several calls Monday morning reporting that their vehicles had been rifled through overnight. A group of youths were hanging around the downtown residential area between Seventh and Eleventh Avenues, from the 400 to the 900 block. They went through people’s yards and rifled through vehicles, stealing what they could find from glove boxes. They also set fire 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 neighborhood 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 Stoppers at: 1-800-222-TIPS

Area “G” Director explores bio mass heating opportunities By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
SUBSCRIPTION OPPORTUNITY
David Dubois, Project Coordinator for the Wood Waste to Rural Heat project, addressed committee members of the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen’s Environment 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 efficient, supported wildfire mitigation in small communities and resulted in greenhouse gas emissions. Dubois said his organization provided technical 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.” More information can be found at: http://www.woodwaste2ruralheat.ca

Editorial Valley residents could use a river reporting system A recent discussion at a meeting of the Similkameen 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 happened. Society members are correct in their assessment that warnings and information about Similkameen 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 necessary for a warning and / or detection system to work. Rather than using a system that has a priority 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.

Labour Day weekend’s labours are about moving the kids By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com We spent the Labour Day weekend like a lot of other parents, helping 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 constructed 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 Victoria 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 converging 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 Richmond. She found comfortable accommodations a short walk away from Richmond Centre, in a leafy, quiet, condominium 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 reservation 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 terminal with plenty of time before the next ferry. It was a bigger deal in Victoria with room accomodations, however. “Your best bet, I would suggest, would be to drive to Duncan,” suggested one hotel keeper. “It’s not that far away, and you’ll probably 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 temperature 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 connection 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 following 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.

Nearly 150 complaints about FortisBC’s new two-tiered electricity prices have prompted the B.C. Utilities Commission to order 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 “significant,” 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 billing 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

Phase one draft of watershed study under review Planning society members discuss early warning system for the Similkameen By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Organic Farming Institute of B.C. Chair Denise Blashko and George Hanson, ViceChair, 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 blessing 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 institute’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 crossing 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 appearance 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 meeting 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 representative 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 notification process regarding issues with the valley’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

New V-P busy last week preparing for start of school year By Steve Arstad Scott Tremblay was busy last week at Similkameen 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 country teams all made the provincials last year. The school has a lot of athletic talent.”

Keremeos Mexican education connection By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
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 distribution to Mexican school students. “The Bargain Store in Keremeos 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 Barriles, 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 person 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 heading 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 student 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.

The Lower Similkameen Community 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 volunteer drivers. Residents who use the service include people recovering from a hospital stay and seniors who need some assistance meeting their nutritional needs while continuing to live in their own homes. Cost of the service is five dollars per meal.

Tailings spill into Tulameen River will not affect Similkameen River, says health authority Alarm raised over water quality for the second time in as many weeks By Steve Arstad A tailings spill from the Basin Coal Mine near Tulameen has resulted in an advisory from Interior Health regarding the river’s water quality.
Interior Health advised area residents on Wednesday, August 28 that there would be little or no impact to drinking water sources in the Coalmont and Tulameen areas as a result of the tailings spill. “There are no regulated water systems in the Coalmont or Tulameen area that draw from surface water. All the water systems draw from well
water and well water is unaffected by this spill. Information obtained from the Ministry of Environment water license database indicates that there are no surface water intakes until two to three kilometres upstream 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 appears discoloured, it is recommended that residents use bottled water until the water runs clear. For people swimming on the river, Interior Health recommends that they take routine precautionary measures: Do not drink untreated surface water, keep eyes closed under water
and vigorously towel dry off after swimming. If the water is turbid or discoloured, Interior Health recommends avoiding swimming. Ministry of Environment is conducting sampling of the Tulameen River around Coalmont and Princeton to further confirm there are no impacts on water quality. Several Keremeos
residents noticed a discoloured Similkameen River two weeks ago. It was determined then that the discolouration was the result of isolated heavy rain in the upper Similkameen watershed. Lannea Parfitt, C o m mu n i c at i o n s Officer with Interior Health told the Review 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, Keremeos will not have any impacts.” If residents have questions related to their drinking water quality, they can call IH Health Protection’s Penticton office at 250-770-5540.

SISTER 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 (19901993). 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 Àourished 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.
