Rockslide fix on way
Stef Laramie
Memorial Park was turned into an oasis of collector cars Saturday afternoon when participants of the Collector Car day cruise of the South Okanagan stopped for lunch. Drivers and passengers in about 37 vehicles involved enjoyed a lunch prepared by the Keremeos Elks. The group then went on to a garage tour in Cawston then to Osoyoos, Oliver and back to Summerland. A proclamation was given across BC to mark July 11 as Collector Car Appreciation Day and the month of July as Collector Car Appreciation Month.
Work will soon start so rocks will roll into a wider ditch instead of across a stretch of road on Hwy. 3 about 12 kilometres west of Keremeos. About 700 metres of the slope adjacent to highway will be excavated to create a wider ditch to allow for a rock fall catchment. The kilometre of road has been the site of at least three major rockslides in the last 18 months. In two cases the rockslides closed the highway overnight and left many drivers stranded. In March 2015 a couple from the Lower Mainland had their vehicle destroyed when a 35-pound rock fell on their car. The couple was checked over by paramedics but neither was seriously injured. The work is expected to start in August and should be completed by November. This is the second-phase of the rock fall stabilization project. The first phase saw a three-metre high catchment wall constructed last fall. The $418,000 contract to complete excavation work was awarded to Timbro Contracting.
Restaurant ownership dispute heats up Review Staff
A disagreement over payments has led to the closure of a longtime Keremeos restaurant and a pending civil lawsuit. On July 1, Shane Dayman from Nelson took over operation of the Branding Iron. But just 21 days after he planned to walk away from the business. Several months ago Dayman found a listing to lease the Keremeos restaurant on the internet. He visited the Branding Iron several times before entering into a contractual agreement to purchase the business and hopefully eventually the building. One of the former owners Karl Schorb and his partner Suzanne Seimens were to continue working at the restaurant, which Schorb opened 17 years ago. The two were no longer
employed at the restaurant at the time of its closure. In seperate interviews, Dayman and Schorb both agreed there had been several unresolvable conflicts that had arisen since new ownership took over. Dayman said he had contacted a lawyer and planned to file a civil suit against Schorb for slander, defamation and to recoup any losses. He admitted he had not paid the owners since taking over. Although he says he attempted to but he was unsuccesful as one cheque did not clear because of a banking error on his part, and another he later stopped payment on as conflicts became heated. The RCMP has been to the Branding Iron several times in the last week. At press time no charges had been laid.
In late 2013, Dayman and a business partner were to re-open a well-known restaurant and night club called The Royal in Nelson, B.C. The Royal only opened a handful of times in December 2013. In an interview with the Nelson Star, Luke Menkes, owner of the building at the time, would not reveal the specifics of why the business deal ended so quickly, but did say, “We were so excited with his initial enthusiasm that, admittedly, we did not research this individual as thoroughly as we probably could have, in hindsight.” Dayman said he was closing the Branding Iron at the end of business Tuesday evening and that ownership would return to previous owners. He planned to return to Nelson.
The RCMP attended the Branding Iron Tuesday afternoon.

Area teen arrested in break and enter duo Review Staff
A phone call to police about a suspicious van downtown last week led to numerous charges against a 40-yearold Princeton man and his 17-year-old female companion from Cawston. RCMP Sergeant Barry Kennedy said police were called in the early hours of Thursday July 16 about a van “that just didn’t seem right.” Officers located and seized the van, as it was uninsured. They released a man and girl to a campsite on Crown land along the Similkameen River after the couple removed several personal items from the vehicle. Later in the morning police received four phone calls from residents in the Billiter Avenue and Lime Street area reporting break and enters that occurred the previous night. The property reported missing included electronics, power tools and jerry cans.
“It wasn’t until everyone woke up Thursday morning and they started calling in that we realized we had caught the people who had all this stuff.” After securing a search warrant for a tent police recovered the items reported stolen, as well as stolen property associated with other break and enters in the area. The man was charged with breaking and entering and possession of stolen property over $5,000. The teenage girl – who was released to her parents – faces identical charges, as well as one charge of resisting arrest. Kennedy said the story emphasizes the importance of residents being vigilant and willing to call police. “Look at what we generated out of this. We’ve probably solved seven files just from people calling. Kudos to the people for phoning in.”
Lightening sparks two new fires in area Review Staff
Despite all the lightening over the last week only two new fires were discovered recently in the Lower Similkameen. Both fires are small in size recorded as about 0.9 hectares at press time and were discovered July 20. One is at Showdy Creek near the Snowy Protected Area and another is listed as above Chopaka. Although the Lower Similkameen went mostly unscathed during recent weather patterns, 50 new fires since July 19 have been started. The majority, 43, were caused by lightening while the other seven were human caused. Although the majority of these fires are in the initial attack stage and are not threatening any infrastructure or values, four of these fires have grown significantly due to hot, dry conditions and strong winds. The Westside Road fire is burning west of Okanagan Lake. This fire is now estimated at 430 hectares in size and is zero per cent contained. Nineteen firefighters and airtankers are currently working on this fire alongside the local fire department and growth is occurring upslope, away from homes. The Coldstream Creek fire is burning 15 kilometres southeast of Ashcroft, north of Highway 97C. This fire is approximately 250 hectares in
size and is zero per cent contained. Forty firefighters and 13 pieces of heavy equipment are working to contain this fire and airtankers are being used as needed. The Bolean Lake wildfire is burning five kilometres northwest of Falkland and 22 kilometres southwest of Salmon Arm. Thirty-two firefighters are on site and are being supported by heavy machinery and a helicopter. Structural Protection Units have also been requested. An Evacuation Alert has been issued by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District for 24 properties affected by this wildfire. An Evacuation Order has also been issued for the Bolean Lake Resort. The Willowbrook fire is burning five kilometres northwest of Oliver. It is 82 hectares in size and is 80 per cent contained. Firefighters, helicopters and heavy machinery are continuing to make good progress on this fire. Hot and dry weather conditions have once again elevated the fire danger rating throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre and many areas are currently experiencing “high” to “extreme” ratings. This danger rating is expected to increase significantly over the next few days as the drying trend continues. Wind plays a major role in fire advancement and spotting, strong wind activity over the last few days has directly affected fire control tactics.

Conservation needs to be cultural It would be interesting to learn how many people changed their water consumption habits after the province declared the area a Level 3 drought zone a week and a half ago. In addition to banning fishing in the Similkameen and its tributaries, the government asked for municipal, industrial and agricultural users to voluntarily reduce their water use by 20 per cent. There was no hue and cry. Municipal councils in the region said they are monitoring water levels. The RDOS said the same thing, and added it is the job of local government to help educate water consumers about ways they can economize. A few cooler-than-usual days and some muchwelcomed rain seem to have dampened serious fears about water shortages. Indeed, it’s unlikely anyone in the valley will actually “run out” of water this summer. Well, except the fish. At the risk of over simplifying the issue, however, the point of water conservation is to conserve water. It’s not so much a matter of putting some water aside so we have enough to drink a week from now. It’s about learning and implementing environmentally friendly practices that will support a healthy water supply for years to come. Never forget the climate has become as unpredictable as an interview with Donald Trump. Perhaps ask Metro Vancouver about that. With reserve levels at 73 per cent and dropping, the city is introducing near Draconian water restrictions this week– no lawn watering, car washing or filling of pools and hot tubs. Water conservation should be no different than recycling, or composting. It needs to be part of family and community culture. On average Bristish Columbians use 490 litres of water a day. Each person, every day. Surely we can do more – or rather less – than that. Consider these suggestions for reducing water use in your own home. It’s trite but true: every little bit helps. Adhere to municipal watering restrictions religiously. Squeal on your neighbors. If you see someone contravening watering restrictions call the municipality and complain. Become the water police. Take shorter showers. Every minute in the shower uses approximately 19 litres of water. If you are really concerned about conserving water shower with a friend. (But keep it short.) Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth or shaving. When washing fruits and vegetables, use water in a bucket and then use the waste around the garden. Turn off your garburator and compost kitchen scraps. Limit the number of times you mow the lawn. Long grass shades roots and demands less watering. While adhering to municipal water restrictions remember not to water when it’s windy as water will blow off target and evaporate more quickly. Give your lawn limits, even when you are watering within the allowed time frames. Place an empty tuna can on the lawn and when it’s full turn off your sprinklers. Change your tap washers. That can save up to 300 litres of water each week. Always make sure the washing machine is full. One load of wash uses 190 litres of water. BC accounts for 25 per cent of Canada’s fresh running water – and it would be absolutely irresponsible to treat that abundance with anything but the greatest care. - AD

Creative car restoration keeps Cawston man feeling young Art Martens livingsignificantly.ca
For someone who doesn’t consider himself a collector of cars, Ken Helm of rural Cawston, BC certainly has a lot of them. When I asked “how many?” he replied, “I don’t know. Besides, what is a car? I have bodies of cars and plenty of parts. Just haven’t had time to put them all together.” A congenial man with a snow white beard, Ken is eager to share his encyclopedic knowledge of vintage automobiles and their genius creators. We were treated to a virtual seminar as he took us on a tour through several sturdy, weather beaten structures, some of which he had moved to his farm from places like Hedley, Princeton and Manning Park. “I married the farmer’s daughter,” he said to explain how he had come to own this 15 acre property with a phenomenal view. Ken bought his first car, a 1929 Model A coupe, when he was 16. After restoring it, at age 20 he was interviewed for a job by a B.C. Tel (now Telus) foreman. “He realized I knew something about electronics and liked the fact I’d rebuilt a car. They needed someone to fix equipment in remote areas.” He was assigned to the Hedley Microwave site and travelled to this area in the Model A. He drove the car to work every day for at least 20 years. An incomplete (“approximately 1916”) McLaughlin awaited us in his work place. “I had only the 6 cylinder motor when I started this one,“ he said. “I’ve put electric lights on it. In the early years, cars had coal oil lamps for headlights. The fuel tank is a small barrel held in place with brackets from school desks. The throttle is on the steering wheel. It will be a 2 seater, with motor and driver exposed to the elements.” For Ken, much of the joy comes from being unorthodox and innovative. “I’m trying to be a bit creative,” he told us. “I have a picking pile. When I need a part I look until I find one that interests me. Sometimes I make a part.” In a long narrow building I counted 20 motors lined up on sturdy shelving, ready for him to pick one that interests him. In another structure numerous headlamps and steering wheels were hanging from the ceiling. “Finding the right part is like a treasure hunt,” he said. “It’s a big part of the fun. I’m excited when I come up with something totally unique.” For most of us, driving these elderly vehicles would be a nightmare. Not for Ken,

although he admits “you’re pretty much on your own for figuring out how to fix them.” He has vivid memories of a trip to Horsefly in a 1927 Model T. “The car went through 15 quarts of oil and 7 tires. When my last tire went flat, a waitress in a café said her exboyfriend had tires. He did.” This trip provided another significant challenge when one of the wooden wheels broke going around a corner. “Luckily, I was able to get a wire wheel from a farmer,” Ken said. “I welded it on and we continued.” Some of Ken’s cars offer unusual features,
like a tiny BMW with a single door at the front. The steering wheel is attached to the door and swings out with the door. This little gem cost him $800 to buy and fix. There is also a Czech built 2 cylinder model with a canvas body. To put it in reverse the motor must be shut off. The same to go forward. Not likely it was ever a big seller. Some of the concepts incorporated into early automobiles would baffle today’s young drivers accustomed to high levels of technology. Looking at a Model T, I said, “you’d have to crank to start it?”
“Yes,” Ken responded. “They don’t have a starter.” In retirement, Ken is still blessed with the enthusiasm of a 20 year old. As we were preparing to leave, I asked what inspires him to continue accumulating and creating what I think of as cars with unique character and sparkling personality. He considered for a moment, stroking the snow white beard, then said, “I think a guy likes to feel he’s part of something. It’s deeply rewarding when you can figure out how to fix a tough problem. It’s a way of expressing who I am.”
There is more than one way to experience growing pains How was work honey? DON’T call me honey. Did you sleep well sweetie? DON’T call me sweetie. Babe, can you grab the milk out of the fridge?

Art in the Garden to bloom this weekend Tara Bowie Review Staff
For five years artists in Keremeos, Cawston and Osoyoos have been pairing beautiful art with the inspiring backdrops of gardens. The 5th annual Art in the Garden is poised to take place at four locations July 25 and 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “What I love about it is the diversity of local art being introduced to the tourists in the area. I find that there is amazingly talented people in our valley and close to our valley,” said Kim Brind’Amour, one of the Cawston area artists involved. “It gives all of us artists a chance to hold hands together and showcase our stuff and show that art is very much alive and is an industry itself.” Brind’Amour an acrylic painter who focusses her work primarily on fruit is showing at Forbidden Fruit Winery along with three other artists. Gabrielle Villecourt is an oil painter working mostly with scenery. Nathan Venables and Allyssa Allison will also be showing their oak barrel art including candle holders, bottle racks and tables.
“Of course wine goes well with art,” Brind’Amour said. “I encourage everyone to get out there and see what we have here.” Also holding a showing is Bonny Roberts at 423 Vanderline Drive in Keremeos. Roberts, an experienced artist has painted in many techniques over the years but is currently drawn to abstracts in a variety of mediums. Roberts is well-known for her use of colour in her work. She will be showing along local artists Myra Hammond, also an abstract artist, Bev Smith, acrylic painter, Wendy Provins, acrylic painter, and Allie Arnst, abstract artist working in acrylic and mixed media. The Art in the Garden tour also includes a passport component. Those who get the passport stamped can enter into a draw to win a prize. Locations of the Art in the Garden; Bonny Roberts House at 423 Vanderlinde Drive, Keremeos Forbidden Fruit Winery at 620 Sumac Road, Cawston 8705 22nd Ave, Osoyoos 4405 37 Street, Osoyoos
Kars Under the K still shines after 14 years Review Staff
Calling all collector car owners and enthusiasts, it’s time to rev your engines for the Kars Under the K annual car show. “Some years we’ve had more than 200 but the last few years we’ve had 150 or 160 cars. We never know till the day of who’s going to be there. There’s only about 25 that pre-register. Between the rain some years and that this year is so hot we don’t know how it’s going to be. It’s fun to find out,” Marcel Morin, one of the event’s organizers said. This year mark’s the 14th year for the well-known and beloved car show. “We have a lot of people from the coast and the Okanagan Valley, Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton and Osoyoos. Penticton has a car show the day before and a lot of people come over from that. It’s smaller show but people seem to really like that because
there’s less people,” he said. The event kicks off in Memorial Park at 8 a.m. with registration and parking. A pancake breakfast starts at 8 a.m. as well and is put on by the Elks. At about 10 a.m. the car show officially starts. The pool will be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. A vendors alley will be setup and music will be played throughout the day. The beverage garden opens at 11 a.m. and is run by the Keremeos Legion. A 50/50 is drawn at 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. sharp. Voting closes at 1:30 p.m. sharp. Just after 3 p.m. awards will be given out. There are about 25 awards at the car show including Mayor’s Choice, Best Engine Display, Longest Distance Travelled, and category awards.

STAYCATION LIFESTYLES
Advertisements extol the virtues of various vacation destinations across Canada and beyond.
But before you are lured away from our beautiful valley, you should think about “staycationing” — at least for part of the summer. In recent years staycation has become a new buzzword. People found creative ways to enjoy their holidays at home to save money. Staycations feature green benefits as well as financial benefits. Staying close to home reduces your carbon footprint by avoiding planes, trains and automobiles. No doubt there are other ways to count environmental savings, too. But the big, big benefit of all this, in case you’ve taken it for granted is that we already live in a beautiful place. Whether or not you are staying in the Similkameen area for your whole vacation, you should take the opportunity to discover something of your own backyard — your own backyard literally, the many parks and hiking trails nearby. Staycations become even more exciting when you have family and friends visiting, and you get a chance Shop locally at these participating businesses for your chance to win!

Letters to the Editor
Event cruises to success To the Editor: Our Collector Car day cruise of the South Okanagan went very well. It started in Summerland and stopped in Keremeos for lunch and a garage tour. We had 37 vehicles parked on the grass in Memorial Park in Keremeos. Valley First Credit union gave away free bottled water and collected food for the food bank. They did very well. Thank You to everyone who dropped off food items.
The Keremeos Elks did a wonderful job feeding everyone with burgers and smokies . Our Mayor Manfred Bauer welcomed everyone on the tour. Linda Larson, Liberal MLA, read the proclamation. After the garage tour, the group cruised to Osoyoos, then to Oliver for a BBQ andback to Summerland . Marcel Morin Kars under the K Vintage Car Club of Canada .

Two transport trucks collided on Highway 3 just west of Hedley early Saturday morning. The collision occurred around 5:20 a.m. First responders from Hedley attended the scene. The drivers of the trucks were treated for injury but it’s unknown how serious the injuries were. The trucks were still at the site of the crash early Saturday afternoon. The cause of the collision is being investigated.
Agriculture group yields results during cherry season
To the Editor: Months ago, I have taken advice from a few farmers and farm labourers of the Similkameen Valley, under the address of Western Harvest, on what to do, and which direction to start in, in regards to progressing our community, to a standard where we can ensure farmers, that we can supply to them, reliable workers. One piece of advice given to us, is to establishing good relations with farmers. As a community of up to eight to 10 solid members, we have been able to make some rounds with hobby farmers, organic farmers, conventional farmers. Living under one household, and being able to represent Western Harvest, we have supported each other with this, as the small core sum of us, have earned our right
to be reliable, quality workers, that communicate well and are interested in furthering the personal bond with farmers. As far as piece work goes, how can some farmers expect and take advantage of first years/foreign workers, to work at a pace where they are still making far below minimum wage. Perhaps farmers that have not the best crop, to bite the bullet and pay their workers by the hour, as working at a fair pace would be complimentary. Other issues, is to how heated can the day get, before it may be too dangerous to work. Normally, it is possible that one could work under such hot temperatures, providing a person drinks an abundance of water, wears proper clothing/hat, sunscreen/protection,
and more importantly are willing and are asked to do so. If one is demanded he or she works under such conditions, the fear is that refusing would conclude in one losing his or her job. To farmers who use compassion with their workers on such conditions and the willingness to make work fair, comfortable and clean, a Harvest Bun Salute in thy honour. As to the farmers that do not, how serious is this as an issue, and what steps do folk need to take into making it an official government work issue? As to our experiences here at Western Harvest, we’ve had our struggles here and there, but are proud to share that we’ve complete some of our goals as to managing crew’s for the cherry season, providing transportation to and from
work, waking folk up in the morning and supplying coffee as well as other needs, communicating with farmers as to quality of work being done, bringing on folk and friends in whom we know closely on to our crew, as we can trust their ability to work, training, with ladder placement and picking techniques, and to the best of our ability, motivating solid speed and focus. A trial run we had this year, taking a break for the time being as the cherry season in the Similkameen has come to an end. We plan to start right back up again as the apple and grape season is right around the corner. Still nothing too official here at Western Harvest. We do what we can/what we are capable of. There is potential for us to become political on labour laws, involve
ourselves in the direction of organic farming, provide a camping location with proper amenities, train and inspire those who are willing to give a shot/start a career in farm labour, and expand in the further years to opening up and taking in new applicants, under the Western Harvest Bun. We are slow going, but going, as we prepare the next seasonal bun. Thanks to all who have supported/helped us, our most harvested appreciation goes to you. The Harvest Bun story continues, as the crew’s split up and move north, to chase the rest of the cherry season. There is also a bun in the oven. Matthew Winlaw Keremeos
JAYESH PATEL
BOATING WITH PETS
By Dr. Moira Drosdovech PART II DOGS: CATS: Does your dog respond to commands (come, stay, heel)? Does your cat respond to commands (come, down, up)? Is your dog prone to barking, or nipping at strangers? Is your cat a fussy eater? Will your dog use newspapers if there is no “land”? Is your cat an “indoor” cat? Of primary concern is that your dog or cat does not create a situation that could endanger the lives of anyone on board. Restraint may be necessary in some situtions, but more cumbersome in others. Life jackets… May or may not prove useful. Apparently, for some they can be more of a nuisance, but for others, they have been life-saving. Cold water, fast currents, and fatigue can get to dogs just as they can get to people. Your use of life jackets will depend on your dog’s swimming ability, age, health, and the type of boating you are doing. I just bought one for my little dog for this summer’s boating, but my Irish Water Spaniel definitely will not be wearing one, as she can swim for 2 hours straight! Garbage... Plan what to do with pet poop if you are in a location where garbage disposal is either not available or expensive. On a long-distance cruise, you may have to carry your garbage for weeks at a time. A litter box will be necessary for Kitty on long term trips and should be located near the centre of motion of the boat, out of traffic, and in a corner if possible. Secure it well (shock cord) so it doesn’t move. Be forewarned – clumping litter will create a disaster if mixed with your bilge pump! Docking…Arriving at new docks is a perfect example of when a pet needs to be shut in the cabin or tied up in a manner that does not restrict the crew. This is a perfect opportunity for a pet to sneak off without being noticed, so secure them to something out of the way before you get close so you don’t forget in all the commotion. While it may seem to be an easy task to put Rover in the dinghy and row him ashore, that isn’t always possible. Aside from private property issues, you could find yourself anchored in mangrove swamps where there simply isn’t any terra firma upon which to set Rover. Anything you can do train him to use facilities on the boat will obviously be worthwhile. If you can’t re-train your dog, marinas are an option. Don’t declaw your cat! His life may depend on being able to climb out of the water! The thought of bringing some sort of scratching post should be entertained for their general scratching pleasure. Whatever you use, fasten it securely, or your cat won’t use it. Should you take your Pet? For short day outings here in the Okanagan, why not? They are fun to have along and most really seem to get a kick out of it. If you have a really (and I mean really well-adjusted) cat, you could take them too. Try to be sure that you have plenty of water for them, shade if they are not going to be going in the water and that the day looks like it will be calm from start to finish. Don’t load them up with food and water just before you go! And if they do get onshore with you, be responsible, pick up after them and dispose of the waste properly. Your pet will alter your boating experience, mostly for the better, but it will also impose some restrictions on destinations, heavy weather sailing, choices about going to marinas or anchoring out. Housekeeping chores will double. Some pets just don’t adapt to travelling on any kind of boat or react badly to the stress of wild motion. On the other hand, a pet is better than valium for the crew! Jjust remember, once you make the decision, it’s pretty much cast in stone if you are going on a long distance cruise.

HOT FLASHES Hot flashes affect three out of four women going through menopause. One method that may be effective in reducing the number of hot spells is to practice deep breathing. This involves inhaling slowly through your nose for 5 seconds then exhaling slowly for 5 seconds. Doing this twice daily for 15 minutes for prevention or while you are having a hot flash can minimize its severity. EXTREME HEAT CONDITIONS Extreme heat conditions can sometimes occur in these summer months. Extreme heat is when temperatures rise 10 degrees or more above normal. During these times it is important to drink plenty of fluids, wear loose, lightweight clothing, use sunscreen and limit your outdoor activities to mornings and evenings. SKIN CANCER AND AGEING Our skin ages as we age. We can choose to speed up this ageing through smoking and unprotected exposure to the sun. Skin cancer will affect 20% of North Americans in their lifetime. Skin ageing and skin cancer...two skin problems we can control by choosing the right lifestyles. AROMAS & POSITIVE MENTAL EFFECT Certain aromas can have a positive mental effect on some people. People suffering from dementia and agitation were calmed by the aroma of lemon balm. The nice thing about this treatment is that there were no side effects. We are always expanding our knowledge about the research going on in the world of medicine and pharmacy. If you hear something interesting you’d like verified, we’d be happy to help.

Robert Mellalieu, a Green Party organizer and IT professional with F1 Computer Services in West Kelowna, was chosen as the riding’s Green candidate for the Oct. 19 election. “There were two candidates: Silverado Socrates from the west side and then there was Robert Mellalieu,” said Dave Cursons, fundraiser for the Green Party riding association. Mellalieu said he is taking a realistic approach to running against incumbent Conservative candidate Dan Albas, NDP challenger Angelique Wood and Liberal Karley Scott. While the Green Party has little chance of gaining more than a few seats nationwide in the next election, Mellalieu said his drive is to give people a choice. “We are not in a sprint, we are in a marathon,” said Mellalieu. “During that marathon, we want to stick to our long-term goals and to our principles. That is one of the big goals.” Then there is the popular vote when the election is over. More people voting Green across the country, showing their support, the more influence Green policies can have on the parties in power. “Although we will not be in power, the pundits at the different parties will see the support,” said Mellalieu. “The Liberals now have pasted some of our policies into their platform.” W ATM NO LE!

For himself, Mellalieu said the environment and corruption in the existing political environment are the big issues, and how other parties change their direction. “They are always looking at the wind vane of the polls and saying, oh yeah, now we agree with that, whereas the Green Party is pretty steadfast in their values and structure,” he said. Mellalieu admits the election is more likely to revolve around issues like jobs and the economy. “The Conservatives seem to have that tied up. They say the oil patch is the final goal, that is our big saviour, is to get as much oil out of the ground as possible when all the statistics say differently,” said Mellalieu. “It’s not that big a part of the economy. Tourism is and we spent no money on tourism advertising in the U.S. last year.” In the South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding, the Greens have yet to declare a candidate. Though he can’t say when they will have an announcement, riding organizer Dan Bouchard said they are planning to field a candidate. “We are actively on the search,” said Bouchard, noting that the new riding boundaries encompass a large area, making the search more difficult. Bouchard, who ran for the Green party in 2008 and 2011, said he remains committed to the party, but won’t be running in this election due to his young family and growing business. Declared candidates for South OkanaganWest Kootenay are Dick Cannings, NDP; Connie Denesiuk, Liberal and Marshall Neufeld, Conservative.

Council discusses topics for UBCM Addictions counselling, riverbed camping and water main grant programs are top of mind for Keremeos Council heading into the annual UBCM conference this September. Councillors briefly discussed their shortlist of BC government minister’s or aids they would like 15-minutes with to discuss topics relative to the community. “The RDOS is also booking meetings and we don’t want to double up. We only have 15 minutes,” Mayor Manfred Bauer said. Bauer thought the Regional District Okanagan Similkameen would speak to minister’s regarding doctor shortages, dikes and other topics. Keremeos council members in attendance at the conference will speak to minister’s regarding the future of The Crossing, a former teen addiction recovery facility located just outside Keremeos. The facility closed in March when it’s operator Portage pulled out of

it’s agreement with the province. It’s unclear at this time if the facility will reopen under another operator. A meeting with the Ministry of Environment will hopefully push forward a movement to deem the riverbed where overnight campers frequent an ecologically sensitive area. With that designation no overnight camping would be allowed at the riverbed. A meeting with the Ministry of Community Sport and Cultural Development about the downtown water main replacement grant program will help staff manoeuvre their way through the process easier. Council has to the end of the month to put forward more suggestions about topics they would like more information about at the conference. The conference is being held September 21 to 25 at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

In Loving Memory of Allen Gallant (1961-2014) Feel no guilt in laughter, he’d know how much you care. Feel no sorrow in a smile, that he is not here to share. You cannot grieve forever; he would not want you to. He’d hope that you could carry on the way you always do. So, talk about the good times and the way you showed you cared, The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared. Let memories surround you, a word someone may say Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day, That brings him back as clearly as though he were still here, And fills you with the feeling that he is always near. For if you keep those moments, you will never be apart And he will live forever locked safe within your heart.
