Solution still far off for riverbed

Tara Bowie Review Staff

The river continues to flow, the seasons change but at this point there’s little movement by the prov-ince to help in detracting individuals from camping along the Similkameen River near the village.

Village councillors were “disappointed” by the lack of response by the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations Monday night at a regularly scheduled meeting.

“We worked very hard to get a meeting with the Ministry at UBCM (Union of British Columbia Municipalities conference) and it seems by this letter we’ve been kicked back to the start again,” council-lor Jeremy Evans said during discussion about the letter.

Discussions have been ongoing with the ministry for more than a year. The goal from the village’s perspective is to make riverbed lands, often used by farm workers as makeshift accommodations while working in the area, off limits for overnight camp-ing.

At this point overnight camping is allowed but Mayor Manfred Bauer has stated several times that he thinks the riverbed is an ecologically sensitive

Village tactic lights � re under bistro cleanup Review Staff

A little bit of pressure applied by the Village on the owner of the River Bed Bistro has resulted in a demolition date of Nov. 16.

About two weeks ago it was announced that the owner had received notice that if the property wasn’t cleaned up by Oct. 26 the village would take action and send an invoice.

Cathy Cowan, Keremeos CAO said there have been several conversations with the owners over the last several weeks and throughout the process.

Cowan told councillors at Monday night’s meeting that the owner and a hired contractor had been to the village office that day and applied for a demoli-

tion permit. “Work should start on November

16,” she said. The bistro was destroyed by fire

in mid-June of this year. The fire was called in at about 3:30 a.m. and although the fire hall is located just across the street, by the time firefighters arrived on scene the fire was already in advanced stages.

“Within minutes after we arrived on scene the second floor exploded into flames. About a half hour after first arriving the roof and the second floor collapsed,” Jordy Bosscha, the Keremeos fire chief said a day after the fire.

The fire was immediately deemed

suspicious by the RCMP. After a several month investigation

it was determined no charges would be laid against the owner.

The property is listed under a num-bered company 0961380 BC Ltd. on the Keremeos tax roll.

Over the last few years several other fires have broken out at the building ,which housed a restaurant and several guest suites.

A fire in 2011 resulted in arson charges for the owner at the time Inderjit Chema for pouring gasoline on the walls and threatening to light it up.

In 2014 a fire ripped through the top floor of the building. The cause is not known and no charges were laid.

File Art The owner of the Riverbed Bistro is expected to start demolition and cleanup of the site on Nov. 16.

School board enrollment slightly down

Review Staff Enrolment numbers are slightly down for School

District 53, but school closures are not on the hori-zon.

As of October 2, the school district is down about 16 full time equivalent (FTE) elementary students and 42.3 FTE in the secondary level. The YouLearn program is also seeing a decrease of 9.1 FTE.

The overall decrease from last year is 67.44 FTE. Village councillor Sherry Philpott-Adhikary

attended the school board’s regular meeting Oct. 28 to check on enrolment and possible ramifications.

“They are down not quite 2.5 classes so that will have some effect but there is no discussion at this time about any school closures,”Philpott-Adhikary reported to council.

The school board stated in a recent administra-tion report that about $106,000 from the Teacher Education Fund reserve was allocated to offset funds lost by having less students.

Locally from the numbers taken on the snapshot date of October 2, recognizing those numbers will fluctuate throughout the year, Cawston Primary School is down in attendance by about 14 students while Similkameen Elementary Secondary School has remained par with the same number of students as last year.

Pub owners moving closer to rebuildingReview Staff

Final details are being worked out on a building permit application for the site of the former Red Bridge Pub, village staff say.

The pub was destroyed by fire in July 2014.

The lot beside Valu-Plus Foods has sat empty since the devastating fire that not only burned down the well-known pub but also destroyed the Keremeos Hotel Liquor Store and the Seventh Street Diner.

“We are anticipating receiving a build-ing permit application within the next two weeks for construction of the pub, which will increase the BP (building permit) rev-enues,” a report on building inspection ser-vices stated under the title CAO comments.

No other details were known at press time as to what the new building might look like or include.

The former pub was built in 1906 by postmaster of Upper Keremeos George Kirby. It was originally built as a three-floor hotel.

Building permits are down by almost a third over last year’s numbers covering the

same time period. So far this year 19 permits have been

issued, including six for new residential and 3 for other repairs or renovations. In the same period last year 29 had been issued, six for new residential and 23 for repairs or renovations.

Because of the decline hours for the building inspector will be reduced.

From the fall of 2011 the building

inspectors worked two half days per week because there had been a drop in demand. In June of 2015 building inpsectors started working 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. as their work-load increased.

Now that building permits needs have decreased again the new building inspec-tion hours will be 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday.

Village decides against fence maintenance request Review Staff

There’s two sides to the fence, but coun-cil won’t be funding the staining of either.

At council Monday night councillors voted to file and receive a letter from the Lower Similkameen Community Services Society requesting $125 for the staining of the fence between Tumbleweed Terrace Senior’s Housing and the Village’s office.

Although the fence does face the village office it is entirely on LSCSS property.

The idea of contributing to the fence maintenance was first brought up several months ago by chair of LSCSS, Walter Despot.

At the time council was concerned it might start precedence with other property owners adjacent to the village requesting for a portion of their fence maintenance to be paid.

Staff was to look into how many other properties might be considered in the same situation.

That report did not appear at council before the LSCSS requested $125 to help pay for the maintenance. The cost of materials and labour was $555.08.

Councillor Jeremy Evans said he was never in favour of giving any money for the fence.

“They have a much bigger budget compared to ours,” he said.

Councillor Arlene Arlow sug-gested a stipulations could be put in that the village would only help non-profit groups but was told that could not be legally

written in the bylaw. In the end council decided unanimously

to file and receive the request essentially turning it down.

File Art A building permit application for the highly anticipated former Red Bridge Pub, which was burned down in 2014, is expected at the village office in the next two weeks.

Put your money where your

remembrance is

Here’s something to remember, as you pause to

drop a Loonie in the poppy box outside the grocery store.

The money the Legion earns from donations to its poppy campaign is often used to help veterans in our community, men and women living in near poverty, by funding the basic necessities of life.

In other words, you might want to make that a Toonie.

Over the years the Keremeos Legion has accessed its poppy account to pay for many much needed ser-vices for local vets and even those passing through.

It’s shameful and horrifying that men and women who have performed such service for their country must rely on benevolence for health care, or to pay rent, or afford heat.

The previous Conservative government chose an unfortunate field of battle when it cut funding to Veterans Affairs as part of an overall effort to bal-ance the budget.

In the past year that department’s spending was reduced by 2 per cent – to a total of $3.5 billion – with cuts hitting disability and death compensation, health care, and programs for veterans to find jobs. Several Veterans Affairs offices were shuttered.

At the same time funding for the Canada Remembers program increased 21 per cent to $50 million. That initiative includes the promotion of Canadian history and pride, the celebration of military successes and the construction of a visitor’s centre at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France.

What are little things like food, shelter and coun-seling for veterans when you can have nice statues?

Much is expected of the new Liberal government from the communities that support veterans. Justin Trudeau promised to make Canada a world leader in veteran care. He pledged to expand mental health services for vets, re-open offices and re-introduce the monthly pension option as part of a new benefits package that includes new dollars for education and retraining for ex-military personal, and significant support for service families.

Let’s hope he doesn’t forget.At the same time, local communities must con-

tinue to be vigilant in protecting dignity and care on their home fronts.

The Keremeos Legion has many members and does an admirable job extending financial support to vets in need as well as providing a strong social network for all residents.

Over the next week, put your money where your remembrance is. - AD

BC ViewsTOM FLETCHER

VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark’s government has been steadily backed into a corner on its apparent deletion of emails involving sensitive government topics.

A week-long barrage of accusations by the NDP oppo-sition peaked with their most damning evidence of a cover-up, in the long-running case of eight health researchers suspended or fired from drug approval studies.

Most have been paid settle-ments or reinstated after the biggest personnel management blunder in memory. One com-mitted suicide.

We are now into a second independent review of this trag-ic case, after an independent lawyer was unable to determine what went wrong, because she couldn’t compel testimony or demand records. It is now in the hands of B.C.’s new Ombudsperson, Jay Chalke, who has that authority.

Everyone agrees that the deputy health minister of the day, Graham Whitmarsh, was legally responsible for the deci-sions and records. Yet some-how the only record released to the NDP for the two-year period of the firings and subse-

quent investiga-tion was a heav-ily blanked-out update from his successor, Stephen Brown, to the premier’s deputy, John Dyble.

It refers to an “update on liti-gation resolu-tion from inves-tigation,” the substance of which is blanked out, and offers to discuss the situation by phone.

Here’s an exchange between NDP MLA Adrian Dix and Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk:

Dix: “Can the minister explain why the Office of the Premier, the Deputy Minister to the Premier, has no records and why the successive Deputy Minister of Health had one record over two years?”

Virk: “The suggestion from the member opposite that there are no documents is false…. There are more documents now that the Ombudsperson has conduct of the matter and is undertaking a comprehensive review. I fully expect that he will do a comprehensive review

and will consent to the release of more documents.”

There will be more sound and fury over this, but only Chalke’s report can provide new information. And even then, the damage is done, settlements and n o n - d i s c l o s u r e deals have been

signed, and Clark and Health Minister Terry Lake have for-mally apologized.

The larger issue is how free-dom of information legislation should work. Should the oppo-sition be able to second-guess decisions of bureaucrats by going through their emails?

The traditional answer is no. Elected officials are responsi-ble, even if they had no actual role, as should always be the case in hiring and firing minis-try staff and awarding govern-ment work contracts. The buck stops with Lake and Clark, not their deputies.

There are sound reasons for this. Consider another sensitive decision, to shoot wolves from the air in a last-ditch effort to preserve dwindling mountain

caribou herds.Protesters, pop stars and

politicians can sound off as they like, but these hard deci-sions are made and carried out by wildlife experts work-ing for or consulted by the province. The minister, in this case Forests Minister Steve Thomson, authorizes the use of helicopters and rifles and takes the political consequences.

One can imagine the ago-nizing discussion that goes on behind the scenes, as provin-cial and First Nations wildlife experts watch caribou herds dwindle despite widespread habitat protection efforts. They not only make the technical call, they have to pull the trig-ger.

Would wildlife biologists be able to provide frank advice for or against this decision if they knew their names and opinions could later be used in a political battle in the legislature and in the streets?

No. And can you run a pub-lic service if everyone is sub-jected to the scrutiny that only politicians choose to endure? No.

The Review Thursday, November 5, 2015 www.keremeosreview.com A 5

It is said that parents want their first babies to be geniuses, and their last babies to be babies.

Nothing could be truer.A first child is naturally prone to the dan-

gers of over-parenting. You read the books, consult the experts and check two dozen times nightly that the child is still breathing. You take pictures every milestone – this is the baby sleeping, this is the baby drooling, this is the baby waking up – and make daily notations in the First Year album.

(Well, back in the day it was the First Year album. In the 21st century even fetuses have their own Facebook pages.)

Somewhere in a velvet-lined box in a storage unit on Highway 3 east of Princeton repose physical keepsakes once belonging to the DeMeer’s first attempt at reproduction – a kernel of tooth, a wisp of blonde hair and – oh yeah, we were over the top – a tiny piece of umbilical cord wrapped in tissue.

First time moms seek each out, to lend support in those initial exhausting months and do their best to make one another feel inadequate.

Parenting is nothing if not a competitive blood sport.

Oh, she isn’t sitting up yet? Little Damien sat up when he was six days old.

Hmmmmm. Still not talking? Ophelia, crawl over here and recite the Highwayman for our guests.

It’s with no little shame I remember set-tling our first-born into her princess bed, when she was Kindergarten age. No sweet-heart, we are not going to read a chapter of Harry Potter tonight. Go get the Dolch word list from your backpack and we will do some review.

The child in question is currently under-taking a post-graduate education degree at Queen’s University – but Mom and Dad are not taking the credit. Indeed it’s possible she is inspired in large part by perverse example.

You’ve no idea at the time. Parenting the young is like driving a speeding car down a straight country road. Sure you can cut out and pass the slower moving vehicles in front. It makes no difference. Everyone ends up waiting in the same line, at the stop sign, at the next intersection.

No one exemplifies this better than the last DeMeer spawn…uh, whatshisname….forth in succession for the title and inheritance of all entailed lands.

There are embarrassingly few pictures of him as an infant. Fortunately all the kids looked identical until the age of two and wore mostly the same clothes. There are no scru-ples about crossing my fingers, indicating a picture of one of his siblings and exclaiming: Weren’t you just adorable on Santa’s knee?

He was no less loved, but didn’t receive the same kind of attention as his older broth-ers and sister. Nonetheless he coasted hap-

pily along in the wake of the family chaos that consisted of homework, hockey practice and piano les-sons.

His sis-ter’s first solid food was home cooked, blend-ed, organically grown car-rots picked by Mennonites. His first solid food was – pretty sure – frozen pizza crust.

Mr. DeMeer, bless his liberal heart, spent a few years as a stay-at-home dad after the last baby was born. The last baby learned to identify primary colors from the balls on the pool table.

It’s with no little shame I remember being stunned nearly speechless, the day he started picking out words from papers pinned to the bulletin board in the kitchen.

Wait a minute! When did you learn to READ?

When he reached school age his first teacher expressed concerns. In particular his printing was not up to the standard of the rest of the class. She sent home practice sheets and thick pencils and called on more than

one occasion, suggesting avenues for extra-curricular assistance. She opined there was an issue with fine motor skills development.

Fine motor skills development? She’d never seen the kid handle a pool cue.

I nodded, smiled and told the teacher to relax. Kids are all different. He will be fine.

In June a letter arrived from the school board. They required me to complete a form acknowledging I’d been informed repeat-edly of my son’s learning problems and had declined help and advice.

Signing away the rights to a future law-suit, I wondered if anyone noted Mom also has atrocious handwriting. No doubt that paper went into a folder under the file name HORRID PARENTS.

The Ontario school system introduces standardized testing in Grade Three. It’s a comprehensive endeavor and takes months to process all of the results.

At the end of that third grade year, on another June day, a letter arrived from the school. board. Whatshisname had achieved abnormal results in every metric and they required me to complete a form allowing them to perform further testing for giftedness.

Nature? Nurture? Over-parenting? Under-parenting? Who the heck knows where babies really come from?

Or geniuses, for that matter.

Maybe parents aren’t as important as they think

Almost without exception, most of us avoid associating with the “untouchables” in our society. It’s even more unlikely we will seek them out with the intent of being their friend. Arnet Hales is one of that rare breed willing to be a friend to those society has cast off as worthless scum.

I first met Arnet in Hedley in the 1980’s when he was 27, phenomenally fit and about to attain a Black Belt in karate. His brutal training regimen sent shivers along my spine. He had come to work at the wilderness camp for young offenders oper-ated by the One Way Adventure Foundation.

In September of this year, Arnet and spouse Gina trav-elled 1700 kilometres to the Idaho Maximum Security Institution so he could visit for two hours with a man he did not know and had never met. Brian, the inmate he visited, has served 10 years of his sen-tence, receives no visits, and, according to Arnet, “is unlikely to ever see the street again.” Arnet chooses not to ask about Brian’s crime but knows he is not welcome outside prison walls.

When the Hales visited Linda and me on their return trip from Idaho, I saw that the past 35 years have exacted a heavy toll on Arnet’s once impressive trim physique. “Several years ago an illness landed me in a hospital isolation ward for six months,” he said. “The med-ical people weren’t sure I’d ever get out. I still have little short term memory and my

balance is uncertain.” The reso-lute determination we observed in his martial arts workouts is still there though, and he has extended his walking from 60 steps to 8,200.

His early pilgrimage was on a treacherous path, mired in a quicksand of turmoil. “My dad had a serious gambling addiction and was probably in jail when I was born in 1949,” he said. “My mom took my sister and me out of the home and moved us to a hotel in a seedy section of Swift Current, Saskatchewan. I was sexually assaulted there by a resident.”

In 1967 he ran away from home and lived on the streets for a year. “That December I was arrested with a pocket full of drugs. I did three years in jail for that.” Upon release he got a truck driving job but rear ended a car, “probably due to an alcoholic binge the night before.” He was quickly fired and a period of deep depression ensued.

His life took a more posi-tive turn in 1974 when he met Marilyn. “She was beautiful and I loved her,” he said. “I don’t know if she loved me, but she tolerated me.” She invited him to a Sally Ann pro-duction. “I went so I’d be able to sit beside her. She was in the production and that didn’t happen.” He says he did have a spiritual experience though and heard a voice say, “Arnet, it’s time to come home.” That night he slept through to the morning for the first time in years, and his life began to change. Possibly his own ardu-ous journey helps him under-

stand Brian desperately needs a friend.

It began several years ago when a woman in Pt. Hardy handed him a letter and said, “I think you’re the one to respond to this.”

Many letters later, Gina told Arnet she had holidays coming in September. She suggested they drive to Idaho so he could visit Brian. They arrived at the prison September 11 and Arnet was escorted into the visits area. A glass barrier would pre-vent physical contact.

“Brian was brought in, his hands cuffed tightly behind his back. His head was lowered until the cuffs were removed. When he looked up and real-ized I was the visitor, he smiled

broadly.”At the end of their visit

Arnet said a prayer for Brian. Glancing up, he saw that Brian had placed his finger tips against the glass separating them. Arnet placed his finger tips against the glass opposite Brian’s. In 10 years it was the closest this lonely man had come to having positive physi-cal contact with anyone outside the prison.

“I just want Brian to know he’s not totally alone,” Arnet said in response to my ques-tion. “I want him to know he has a friend.”

In a subsequent letter, Brian wrote “I told the chaplain, Arnet is my friend.”

Letters to the Editor

To the Editor: The Okanagan Regional Library

board is holding a public meet-ing this Friday about the future of library services in the commu-nity. The writer of this letter cannot attend so instead sent this letter to the head of the library board and the Keremeos Review.

Dear Ms. HallI am writing with regard to the

Keremeos Branch of Okanagan Regional Library. I understand that there will be a public meeting to discuss the ORL in our area on November 6, 2015 but as I will not be able to attend that meeting, I would like to make my input in advance.

It has been reported that our Keremeos Branch was ”not pay-ing enough to maintain the service levels it received” and therefore staffing and hours of operation are to be reduced. I also believe that the “new” funding formulas are based on community size and tax base, and our community is not large enough or wealthy enough to subsidize our need.

But that is exactly why we do need our library services! The smaller the community, the more

vital such library service becomes. In a larger centre there are a

range of resources - concert halls, art galleries, theatres, cinemas, internet cafes, etc. There are public events, presentations, adult educa-tion possibilities, and importantly, computer support services.

In your larger centres there are all these additional resources; in Keremeos we have few if any of such resources (e.g. no longer can we even access the Globe and Mail newspaper in our area), there are no bookstores, and few if any public internet facilities. A com-munity such as ours needs MORE access to library resources, not less. We could contemplate a change in programming (e.g. a shift in emphasis from paper to digital) but not an apparently random discon-tinuation of service. In fact we need everything that you have mentioned in your news release “Okanagan Regional Library Board Looks to 2016 and Beyond” -

“We are hearing from people with all kinds of needs - for exam-ple, many want help with learning about technology and some want us to support their creativity through things such as workshops on e-pub-lishing, access to 3-D printers, laser

cutters, video or sound recording equipment”, explains ORL CEO Stephanie Hall. “Some would like us to expand our work in sup-porting learning and literacy with more author readings, partnering with schools and post-secondary institutions.”

We have a substantial retirement population requiring a great deal of technological support. Because of our agricultural base we have a large and very important itiner-ant community requiring internet access and support. We also have a very multi-cultural community that is not being well-served in literacy and technological support. We have no post-secondary institutions.

And we do not have the num-bers to pay our way. And this is exactly what is wrong with all such funding formulae, and why there is an ever-increasing chasm between our urban and rural communities. We do NOT have equal opportu-nity and our poorer, or should I say more sparsely populated, areas are being constantly impoverished. How can anyone assume that the children of rural areas are receiving an equal education to those in the larger centres. Our Keremeos edu-cation system has been eroded and diluted because of just such funding formulae.

Personally, I am a constant and devoted user of the Okanagan

Regional Library system. I rely heavily on borrowing books, DVDs and music, and I would benefit from technological support and would gladly attend any work-shops that Keremeos could offer. But this means more, not less! So I would ask that you seriously con-sider some readjustment of your funding requirements. If ever there was an example of a facility satis-fying a vital need, it is this Branch of the ORL in our community, and to diminish that will diminish our quality of life in this community.

SincerelySally Mennell

Letter writer questions bylaw enforcement system

I am concerned as to why we pay for a bylaw enforcement officer.

On my street there is a big black pile of rubble which should have been gone six months ago at least. And the 8-foot high fence across from the post office, bylaws say 4-foot at the front of properties.

Now come on, is there different rules? How many resident deer do we have to go there to eat the dead

grass. Oh ya, the village is on a com-plaint system. They need three people to complain about something, which upsets them. So my friends, neigh-bours and anyone else who lives in the village, push the limit. We all need deer fences and piles of burnt stuff in our front yards.

Chamber picks theme for Light Up parade


With snow falling high in the moun-tains this week and soon down here in the valley, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Light Up time.

Members of Similkameen Country, organizers of the annual event, decid-ed late last week that the theme for this year’s parade will be ice carnival.

“We’ve done things like this, snow-men, other things, in the past. It was time for something new to spark the creative juices,” Chris Mathieson, president of the chamber said.

“I think you’ll see a lot of motion and a creativity on the floats this year and the idea of ice is going to play a pretty big role.”

It’s expected there will be more entries than previous years.

Similkameen Country is also orga-nizing it’s annual business decorating challenge. To be judged businesses need to be decorated before Light Up weekend.

“We’re providing prizes for busi-

nesses that decorate before Light Up weekend. Hopefully Main Street will be dressed up to celebrate the season,” he said.

The entire weekend running from Friday, December 4 to Sunday, December 6 is jam-packed with events for everyone.

The weekend kicks off, of course, with the Christmas parade starting at 5:30 p.m. on Main Street. The craft fair will also start at Friday at 3 p.m. and run till 8 p.m. and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday.

The Elks will be doing Breakfast with Santa on Saturday morning and in the evening the Grist Mill will hold a community bon fire.

Mathieson expects more details to come available in the coming weeks on possibly more interesting promo-tions surrounding the fun-filled week-end.

“I’m sure as the event comes closer there will be more things added to the calendar, but it’s going to be a pretty full calendar.”

Grad class holding movie night Review Staff

Pull up a pillow and blanket and watch a family friendly movie with the grad class Saturday, November 7.

The event, which starts at 6:30 p.m. at Victory Hall, is a fundraiser for the grad class to help offset costs of the cap and gowns, grad trip and prom.

“We would love to see the commu-nity out and supporting us,” grad class student Madi Roberts said in an email to the Review.

The movie being shown is Big Hero 6.

Big Hero 6 is an action-packed comedy-adventure about the special

bond that develops between Baymax, a plus-sized inflatable robot, and prod-igy Hiro Hamada. When a devastating event befalls the city of San Fransokyo and catapults Hiro into the midst of danger, he turns to Baymax and his close friends adrenaline junkie Go Go Tomago, neatnik Wasabi, chemistry whiz Honey Lemon and fanboy Fred.

The cost is $5 per child and adults get in free.

Moviegoers are encouraged to bring a pillow and blanket.

Popcorn and other snacks will be sold.

Tara Bowie Shelley Thomas, from FortisBC right, presents Mayor Manfred Bauer and Eileen Oliver-Bauer, from the trails society, with a check for $15,000. The money will be used to install solar bollards to illumi-nate the trail that runs through Keremeos.

Work complete on cenotaph safety upgrade Several local businesses donated to the safety

upgrade required through for insurance purposes at the Keremeos cenotaph.

Keremeos Building Supplies donated free rental of Jack Hammer equipment and framing materi-als and Keremeos Ready Mix for donated bags of coloured cement required for this project.

Both of these donations were integral to the

completion of this project and the Village wishes to express its sincerest gratitude to those businesses.

“Contributions of this nature demonstrate the strong level of commitment our local businesses have for the wellbeing of our residents and greatly reflects the community oriented character which makes our Village such a great place to live,” a press release from the Village stated.


If you haven’t heard about the tele-phone scam where the caller claims to be from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) but is not, please read on and spread the word to family and friends. This scam is becoming a growing concern for the RCMP in British Columbia as we are receiving numer-ous complaints daily and the num-bers keep growing. Knowing exactly what to do should it happen to you is very important to prevent identity and financial theft.

Some recent telephone scams involve threatening taxpayers or using aggressive and forceful language to scare them into paying fictitious debt to the CRA. Victims receive a phone call from a person claiming to work for the CRA and saying that taxes are owed. The caller requests immediate payment by credit card or convinc-es the victims to purchase a prepaid credit card (the CRA never requests prepaid credit cards) and to call back immediately with the information. The taxpayer is often threatened with court charges, jail or deportation.

This scam has been successful because the caller is very aggressive, and if hung up on, will continually call back. Due to the advancement in com-puter technology/hacking, the calls are sometimes being routed through sys-tems that can display any phone num-ber the scammer chooses, which in recent cases, has been the local RCMP Detachment phone number, from the area where the call is received.

CRA - If you want to confirm that a CRA representative has contacted you , call the CRA at 1-800-959-8281 for individual concerns or 1-800-959-5525 for business-related calls.

Police - If the caller identifies themselves as a police officer, obtain their name and badge number and tell the caller you will phone them back through the non-emergency number of the police agency where you live. Make sure you obtain this number through verified channels, such as the White Pages of your phone book or a police agency website.

Individuals should be vigilant when they receive, either by tele-phone, mail, text message or email, a fraudulent communication that claims to be from the CRA and is request-ing personal information. To find out more information about how you can protect yourself from fraud and to hear an example of a real scam tele-phone call, visit; www.cra-arc.gc.ca/fraudprevention.

If you suspect that you have been contacted by a scammer, note the phone number showing on call display and contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, toll free at 1-888-495-8501 or online at www.antifraudcentre-centre-antifraude.ca.

Police warn of increased Canada Revenue scam calls

Asking for help is never easy for most people. But for the increasing number of Keremeos resi-dents caring for a family member with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia, it’s essential.

The Society makes it easier for caregivers who need help by running free local support and infor-mation groups. Participants meet monthly to share practical tips and strategies for living with dementia.

The group serves people who want current infor-mation that will help improve quality of life for themselves and their family member.

In addition to joining the support and information group, she says, caregivers can think about some of these strategies to take care of themselves too:

* Staying fit* Making time for yourself

* Creating a sanctuarySince the demands of caregiving sometimes

make it difficult to leave your home, designate a room in the house as your quiet space. Spend a few minutes there each day, away from the demands of your life.

* Accepting helpThis can be as difficult as asking for help. But it’s

important. Whenever family and friends offer you assistance, take them up on it.

For more information on the Keremeos group contact Laurie Myres at 250-493-8182 (toll-free 1-888-318-1122) or [email protected]. More free resources are available at www.alzheimerbc.org.

She can’t talk much anymore but her eyes sparkle while hearing her family on Skype or when being asked something about her life.

Mary Goguen is about to turn 91. Her birthday is November 6.

Mary lives at Orchard Haven in a cozy room with pictures and a painting of her husband skiing.

Her daughter Linda who luckily hap-pens to be a retired nurse visits her almost every day.

An onlooker can tell the two connect on a deeper level.

Although Mary can still understand things people are saying, she can’t always get the words out and it takes her a minute to form an answer.

While there in the cozy room conduct-ing an interview about Mary’s involvement in the Second World War, one can tell the 91-year-old woman has a lifetime of mem-ories she’d share if given the time.

Mary’s story starts in 1924 in Newcastle Bridge, New Brunswick, a small commu-nity located within 30 miles of Fredericton. She was born at home. Her family con-sisted of 12 siblings.

As a young woman she tried her hand at nursing school, but quickly realized it wasn’t for her.

“I know she said she hated being in nursing,” daughter Jennifer Forin said while Skyping from her home in Quebec.

When asked if she was in nursing school for just three months, Mary said “yes,” seemingly with a sly smile.

“She hated taking them (the patients) cold toast. I remember her telling me she hated taking them cold toast,” Linda said.

So traditional nursing was ruled out fairly quickly for Mary, but she did land a job in the medical field at 20 years old.

It was 1944 and the Second World War was raging. There was a high demand for medical secretary’s that had nursing expe-rience at the Fredericton Military Hospital.

So Mary, known then as Mary Allsia Nightingale, applied and received the job.

She didn’t have to bring patients cold toast anymore but she did become close with her typewriter. She did everything and anything you can think of from ordering needed supplies to fill-ing out and filing release papers from the hospitals and anything in between.

Mary was about 98 pounds when she was fitted for her uni-form. The uniform jacket had her height and weight specifications were sewn into it. There was no one-size fits-all uniforms back then.

To go with the uniform, each woman was given a certificate

they had to keep on their person when they wore it. If they didn’t have the certifi-cate they could be fined $500 or up to six months in jail.

Mary and her husband met at a dance sometime in 1947. He had been in the air-force.

No one can quite remember if it was a dance for people who had been in the war or just a regular dance.

But it was love.The happy couple was married within

the year. Coming from a big family herself, she

kept on with the tradition and had 12 chil-dren.

She hung up her military secretary uni-form to be a stay at home mom, which was what most women did at the time. Her husband worked as an electrician.

She spent most of her adult life in Quebec.

Everywhere Mary has lived since leav-ing her job as a medical secretary in 1948, she made sure she had a safe place to keep the uniform and the certificate.

It was only a few months ago Linda and her decided the right thing to do was to send the uniform home to Fredericton to the York Sunbury Historical Society and Fredericton Regional Museum.

Mary has to-date has 20 grandchil-dren, 10 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.

He joined the war because he could make more as a soldier than he could milk-ing cows, and, of course, it’s just what young men did back in 1940.

John Merriman was 18 when he joined the war effort.

He could have avoided enlisting beause he was working on a farm at the time, but the pay and chance for adventure enticed him.

“I could have got away with it (not going) because I was working on a farm. Everyone else was doing it. But they were making $1.10 a day in the army. Of course you couldn’t have it. Half went into a fund in case you did get home,” he said.

At the time he was making $100 a year working on a dairy farm in Hamilton, Ontario, which was a step-up from the

farm he worked on in Saskatchewan, his home province. In Saskatchewan he made nothing. The farmer kept the $5 a day the government paid for his wages and he got room and board in return.

Now 95, Merriman reminisced about the good, and funny times he experienced instead of talking about the death and destruction of the Second World War.

He served as a signal man during the war in several countries including Italy, North Africa and England.

“I was in England when the bombing was going on,” he said.

Merriman worked the communications side of the war. He built radios, climbed polls and trees to ensure messages could get through to those in command but wouldn’t be received by the enemy.

“In the army there was so much a secret. They didn’t want to put it over the regular radio,” he said.

He was in Italy when Mount Vesuvius started erupting.

He said ash and rock started to spew occasionally out of the mount the year before the major eruption in 1944. The eruption in 1944 lasted two-weeks and was dubbed the day Mother Nature entered the war.

“We used to have to go up with the truck and haul people off the mountain. People were living on the side of it. There was rock and ash coming out of there,” he said.

“When that lava rolled down the moun-tain so hot, when it was really rolling down, houses a 100 yards ahead would just burst into flame and then be covered by the lava. If you went there now and dug through that they’d find half burnt homes and everything preserved.”

A close call happened while trying to reach town for some fun. While stationed near San Cassiano Mountain he and a friend jumped on a motorbike. They should have reached their destination, a local pub pretty easily, except German soldiers were camped out on top of the mountain.

Merriman and his buddy decided to try get through the road pass at the bottom anyway.

But the enemy soldiers noticed the dirt moving as the motorcycle tried to get through.

“We dived into a foxhole. We decided if we drove carefully they wouldn’t see us moving any dirt, but we couldn’t get out of the foxhole. We’d dove in their with our packs on so fast but we couldn’t get out with them on,” he said.

The pair had to unload their belongings to get out and then headed to safety.

He vaguely remembers the food served in the army and categorized it as not very good, but he was glad to have it.

“It wasn’t steak. It was whatever they gave you,” he said.

Merriman often gave his meals to the children that would be standing outside hungry.

“It was too much to see them starving,” he said.

Merriman was in Italy at the end of the war in 1945. He said he boarded a ship rather quickly after peace was declared and returned home to Saskatchewan.

He had two brothers who also served in the war. Both survived.

After the war he used his money to buy a truck and small sawmill. He received a contract from the Canadian National Railway to cut pine trees and make railroad ties.

He lived in Saskatchewan until he and his wife moved to Keremeos in 1989.

Although the war ended 70 years ago he said he can remember those times.

“I have no memory sometimes for what happened yesterday, but I have a memory for what happened then,” he said.

Soldiers killed in the Second World War

Information and photos provided by the Hedley Museum. This does not represent all soldiers killed from the Lower Similkameen but rather some information about four soldiers from the area that were killed during active duty.

Lt. Art French

On 30 October 1942, James Albert Edward Anglin, from Hedley, enlisted in Vancouver, into the Canadian Scottish Regiment of the Royal Canadian Infantry Corp (RCIC). At the time of his enlistment, he was married to Norah Anglin, then a resident of Vancouver.

Pte. Anglin went into action on 6 June 1944, and was killed immediately on Juno Beach during the D-Day invasion. Not to die in vain, it is good to know his regiment was on the far right of the beach and captured all of their objectives. Pte. Anglin was one of 359 Canadians killed at Normandy and one of 22 men killed from the Canadian Scottish Regiment just on D-Day. He was the third oldest Canadian to die at Normandy, at the age of 41.

He is commemorated on the Powell River Cenotaph, as well as on the Hedley Cenotaph.

Ernest Clue served with the British Columbia Dragoons.

The B.C. Dragoons went into active ser-vice with the outbreak of the Second World War on September 1, 1939. Cpl. Clue, from Hedley, would have been in training at Camp Vernon, B.C.

The B.C. Dragoons fought in Italy as part of the 5th Canadian Armoured Division before going to northwestern Europe in February of 1945 as part of the 1st Canadian Corps.

On April 11, 1945, the B.C. Dragoons crossed the Rhine River going to Nijmegen, Netherlands. Cpl. Clue was a tank command-er of “A” Company, driving a Sherman tank. He was killed in action at Arnhem on 15 April 1945, three weeks before the end of the war in Europe. He was 29 years old.

Art French from Hedley was a Lieutenant in the Rocky Mountain Rangers militia when the Second World War broke out.

He then served in the B.C. Dragoons. In August 1940, Art’s regiment, the

Seaforth Highlanders, “D” Company, depart-ed for Halifax, N.S., and then sailed overseas during the height of the Battle of Britain. They landed safely and went into training at Bordon Camp, Hampshire, England.

In March of 1941, Art returned to British Columbia to provide instruction to recruits.

Art sailed for England, arriving Valentines Day 1943.

On July 22, Art received a gunshot wound to his abdomen in Leonforte, Sicily.

Lt. Art French died several days later on July 28, 1943. He is buried in the Canadian War Cemetery in Agira, Sicily. He was 33.

Walt Matthews served as a navigator with the 432 Squadron of the RCAF, which flew from RAF East Moor in North Yorkshire, England. He flew a Halifax Mark III plane, a big four-engine heavy bomber. His Halifax plane was MZ-506 and it was coded QO-X.

In May of 1944, F.O. Matthews’ squad-ron was involved with the bombing of key strategic sites in preparation for the D-Day invasion of Normandy on the coming 6th of June. After one such mission, Matthews’ plane failed to return from a bombing raid on the Le Mans railway yards in France. It was determined the plane was shot down by flak (anti-aircraft fire) and crashed south of Le Mans, near a village called Monce au Belin. All on board were killed instantly.

F.O. Matthews was killed in action on 23 May 1944. He was 28 years of age.

Review Staff A lot of pet owners will be say-

ing BC SPCA instead of cheese while taking a selfie of themselves and their adopted pet this month.

Sometime this month the BC SPCA is set to adopt out its one-millionth animal.

In celebration, anyone who has adopted animals from the BC SPCA over the past six decades is invited to post photos of them-selves with their adopted pet (or a picture of the pet on its own) on the BC SPCA Facebook page (www.facebook.com/bcspca) between November 3 and 20.

“This is the BC SPCA’s 120th year in operation but the society didn’t start its adoption program until the 1950s when it began build-ing animal shelters across the prov-ince,” said Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations in a press release.

“We are very excited that we will be adopting out our one mil-lionth animal this month, but we also want to recognize and honour the 999,999 other people who pro-vided wonderful, loving homes for the animals we’ve rescued over the past decades.”

Those who post photos will be

Even if you’re not an adoptive pet parent, the SPCA is encourag-ing everyone to visit the Facebook page to see the photos that have been dubbed BC SPCA alumni.

Although the BC SPCA is reach-ing a milestone in its organization there is still a huge need for its services in the communities it ser-vices.

area that could fall under protection of the province, which could allow the village and RCMP the ability to enforce regulations.

Each year refuse including human waste is left at the riverbed.

Despite effort by the village and RDOS including having a dump-ster nearby, campers leave garbage behind including old sleeping bags, tents, clothing, food wrappers and more. This year was no different.

“We can’t tolerate environmen-tal pollution,” Bauer said during the meeting.

The letter written on behalf of Minister Steve Thomas mentioned that compliance officers serving the South Okanagan attended some Crown lands where people were known to be camping longterm this

summer. But in each case officers decided not to relocate the indi-viduals.

“Displacing individuals in this manner does not address the under-lying problems associated with the unauthorized camping,” the letter stated.

“While we acknowledge the

safety, sanitation and environmental considerations raised by Keremeos, we believe that a long-term solution cannot be reached through enforce-ment activity alone and will likely require the contribution of other agencies.”

The letter closed with a recom-mendation to setup a meeting with Ministry staff.

Councillor Arlene Arlow agreed with the need to bring in more agencies to stop the camping.

“It would seem to be a more complex issue than easily solved,” she said.

Council agreed to direct staff to request a meeting with the minis-try’s staff.

Prior to the meeting Mayor Bauer told the Review he thought strides in the right direction were made at a local level this year.

At the beginning of the season the majority of coun-cil agreed to place about $12,000 worth of large rocks around accessible area’s to the village’s trail that leads to the riverbed. The idea was to hinder access to the area.

Council also agreed to increase they bylaw officer’s budget by about $4,000. Several vehicles were towed

during the summer for ongoing parking violations.

“As far as I know there was a lot less complaints, less partying going on close to residential areas,” he

said. “Was it a complete success? No. But hopefully next year it’ll get even better and the next year even better. We’re not going to fix a 50-year-old problem in one year.”

HOW MANY GUARDIAN ANGELS DO MOST PEOPLE HAVE?

Firstly, this is my belief system about angel energy I share, and I respect everyone’s own belief system. Angel Energy to me is Divine vibration connected to Higher Power. Guardian Angels are a gift from Creator for everyone on earth; our own personal connection to Divine Energy. The word ‘Angel’ means messenger, there-fore, regardless of our belief system or faith we are all connected to Divine Power if we choose. I refer to my Angel Team, which includes my guardian angels and whichever Archangel Energy I have with me at that moment in time. Archangel Energy can come and go, but please remember your Guardian Angels never leave you. They are always with you and a part of you.Students and clients ask me many questions about Guardian Angels. Here are some examples to help explain what Guardian Angels mean to me.“How does intuition work with my Guardian Angels?”I believe they are the same. When I trust in my intuition and listen to my guidance I am trusting in my Angel Team and myself. My Divine connection for self, my understanding of knowing without being taught, my gut feelings ring true, my thoughts are clear without question, and I see with purpose. This is what I believe is trusting in our Intuition.“I was told that my Grandmother who has passed away is now my Guardian Angel. Is that true?”No, Guardian Angel energy has never been in life form, they are pure white light with no ego. They are a gift just for each individual. Your Grandmother energy can visit you and be there for support, and perhaps you feel her love like a Guardian Angel but she can come and go to heaven /white light.“Cindy, I messed up a while ago and I don’t feel my angels anymore. Did they leave me?”Never will they leave you. Once we have received the gift of Guardian Angels they will always be with you. That is your own belief system stating that you need to be punished. WE are never punished by our angels and they support us thru all good and trying times without any judgement. I am told over and over from my team, “My child, we acknowledge only love and understand your time of lessons in your physical body without the focus of making mistakes or needing to experience punishment from us.” I suggest if you have stopped feeling them, then that is your free will or ego thinking it is so.“How many Guardian Angels do most people have?”Three is the average number of Guardian Angels people have. Most people are born with two and we can acquire more along our life span. The most Guardian Angels I have felt or seen around someone is eight.How do we acquire Angels?There are many reasons Creator may choose to give us another Guardian Angel, including we have been praying for assistance in our life, we need support, or have experienced trauma. There are endless reasons. I received one of my Guardian Angels three years ago with the Divine Purpose to assist me with teaching. Once we receive extra Guardian Angels they stay with us. I have four Guardian Angels that I call my 24/7 team—always my support. They know me better than I know myself.“How can I listen to my Angels?”You always have been, it is just learning how they communicate with us through all of our senses—thoughts or hearing, seeing, feeling and knowing. Trust me when I say, it does take some practice to keep our ego quiet and learn to listen without self-doubt. Once you understand the difference between ego and your Divine guidance, have fun in trusting yourself.My purpose in writing this message was to focus on the basic info about our Guardian Angels and in doing so is my way in Celebrating their Energy I am so grateful for.

DO YOU CARRY A LIST?Keeping a list of your current medications with you is a great idea. If you are alone and have a medical incident and are unable to speak, this list will help emergency personnel. One of the first things they want to know is what medications you are on.

HOW TO LIVE A LONG LIFELongevity in Japan is one of the highest in the world. Perhaps the reason for this is found on a temple in Japan on how to live a long, healthy life: Economy of meat, salt, sugar, food in general, trouble, anger, talk, clothing, car-riding and material desires. It also says: Generosity with vegetables, vinegar, fruit, chewing, sleep, laughter, activity, bathing, walking and giving. Much truth here.

DAILY VITAMIN C REQUIREMENTVitamin C is a water soluble vitamin which means it is not stored in the body. When you take a dose, your body grabs what it needs then the rest is excreted in the urine. How much do you need daily? About 200 mg. Above that, it ends up in the toilet. You can get your daily needs of vitamin C from 2 oranges. Actually your body can get along quite well with 75 mg daily...that’s one orange.

SHORT-TERM SLEEP AIDSHaving trouble sleeping is a common problem. There are products available without prescription that may help. They mostly contain an antihistamine sometimes combined with a pain-reliever but are for short-term use only.Our pharmacists can advise you about these sleep-aid products. We are great believers in the idea that “before you take it, talk about it:. We can help.

Current weather conditions allow private landowners, BC Wildfire Service personnel and industry partners to reduce wildfire risks by burning piles of wood debris.

Over 1,665 burn registra-tion numbers have been issued in the Kamloops Fire Centre in recent weeks, which means that these burning projects may occur until open fire restric-tions come into effect again next spring. People living near burning operations may see and smell smoke during these peri-ods.

However, burning is permit-

ted only on days when the vent-ing index indicates that there is good ventilation and the smoke will disperse quickly.

Anyone conducting open burning must comply with the Ministry of Environment’s Waste Management Act and open burning smoke control regulation. They cannot burn toxic, prohibited materials such as tires, plastics, construction and demolition waste, treated and painted wood, or rubber. Venting index information and tips about safely burning mate-rial outdoors is available online at: http://www.bcairquality.ca/

topics/burning-outdoors.html Anyone wishing to light a

Category 3 open fire must first obtain a burn registration num-ber by calling 1 888 797-1717. Category 3 fires are fires that:

* burn material piled more than two metres in height or three metres in width; or

* burn stubble or grass over more than 0.2 hectares; or

* burn more than two piles of any size; or

When a member of the public reports smoke, burn reg-istration numbers are used to identify active and compliant burn operations so BC Wildfire

Service officials can respond appropriately.

These burning regulations apply to all BC Parks, Crown lands and private lands, but do not apply within the boundaries of a local government that has forest fire prevention bylaws in place and is serviced by a fire department.

Information on open burn-ing, burn categories and current fire prohibitions is available on the BC Wildfire Service web-site at: http://bcwildfire.ca/hprScripts/WildfireNews/Bans.asp

B.C.’s farm and food product industry is growing, even though the number of farmers isn’t.

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick hosted farmers and food producers at the B.C. legislature Tuesday to mark B.C. Agrifoods Day and announce that sales of B.C. food products set a record of $12.3 billion in 2014. That’s up 5.9 per cent from the previous year, which was up 3.5 per cent from 2012.

“Local people are buying local prod-

ucts, that’s a big part,” Letnick said in an interview. “Our exports are increasing. We’ve had a record year, just under $3 bil-lion in exports.”

Two thirds of B.C. export sales go to the U.S. China is second with $264 million in sales, and Japan bought $199 million worth in 2014.

“Our number one agri-food product con-tinues to be dairy,” Letnick said. “Number two is farmed salmon, so that might be news to a few people.”

Abbotsford dairy farmer Jared DeJong attended the ceremony and offered a plea

to the next generation of B.C. residents to stay with their family farms.

“Today there are many multi-gener-ational family farms where the future is in doubt, as the next generation ponders what they’re going to do with their career,” DeJong said. “We need to not only secure the current generation of young farmers, but also attract new bright young talent to agriculture and into the thousands of key agriculture jobs across the province in the years to come.”

“We’re holding our own,” Letnick said.

B.C. food product sales break records in 2014

Hospital donors no strangers to health battlesSubmitted

Jennifer Stewart literally had to crawl on her knees in her fight against cancer.

Now Jennifer and husband Ray Stewart have donated $60,000 to the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation’s $20-million campaign to provide the medi-cal equipment for the new Patient Care Tower at Penticton Regional Hospital.

The couple, who own a pictur-esque ranch south of White Lake, have incredible stories to tell about their lives and their individual bat-tles with cancer.

Ray, 73, grew up in Port Arthur, Ont. (now Thunder Bay) and dropped out of school when he was 16 to work in a paper mill – earn-ing twice as much as his friends employed at a department store.

However, he soon realized the value of a good education and went on to graduate from university with an honours Bachelor of Commerce degree and later a Master of Business Administration degree from Simon Fraser University. From humble beginnings, a suc-cessful business career would fol-low, including years in forestry, mining, banking and ranching.

Now retired, Ray continues to work as a business consultant. He is truly a self-made man.

“When you put pressure on (yourself), you just make life more interesting,” he remarked.

Ray wedded his high school sweetheart and they remained mar-ried for 26 years until her death in 1988.

He was later introduced by a friend to Jennifer and they have now been married for 26 years. Ray and Jennifer built their home on 160-acre Sweet Water Ranch in 1990.

But life hasn’t been without its difficulties.

Jennifer is recovering from breast cancer and a double mastec-tomy earlier this year, after previ-ous bouts with ovarian and cervical cancer, and brain surgery.

When she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer about 15 years ago, Jennifer was told by doctors she only had a short time to live. She then agreed to undergo an experi-mental treatment at the BC Cancer Centre in Vancouver, which saw her battle her way through a regi-men of drug treatments, returning home on weekends.

While recovering, she struggled to get back on her feet. Ray placed a number of chairs outside between the ranch house and the barn so she could feed their livestock. Literally crawling the 100 feet between each chair, she slowly regained her strength.

“A lot of the time Ray couldn’t be here. He was in Toronto so I was alone,” she recalled.

After managing to sit up on each chair, she was quickly approached

by their animals and talked to them while she fed them. It turned out to be great therapy.

“It kept me going, it really did,” she said. “No one is going to tell me to stay in bed.”

Ray, meanwhile, has experi-enced his own battle with prostate cancer after being diagnosed five years ago. He underwent radical prostate surgery in 2011.

Now the Stewarts are looking to help out the PRH tower campaign.

Their $60,000 donation is being made in part to honour Ray’s first wife Rita, and their sons Rod and Ray, and daughter-in-law Lesley. Rod Stewart passed away in 2001 at age 35.

“It’s a legacy of Rita and Rod’s lives. It’s a tribute, reconfirmation and acknowledgement,” Ray Sr. said. “It’s something more than a gravestone. It’s something that’s going to last forever.”

The couple have five grandchil-dren and seven great-grandchildren.

Ray emphasized their donation is very important to the family, noting the hospital expansion will benefit the entire South Okanagan-Similkameen.

“I just think it’s the greatest thing that could happen,” he said. “It’s what is needed now and we’re going to need more in the future.”

Construction of the Patient Care Tower at PRH is set to begin in the spring of 2016 and be completed by late 2019.

Jennifer and Ray Stewart, owners of a White Lake area ranch, have donated $60,000 to the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation. The money will help the foundation’s campaign to pro-vide medical equipment for the new Patient Care Tower at Penticton Regional Hospital.

Joe Lebeau This crazy crew was seen walking along 7th Avenue Saturday afternoon and then later at the Cawston Hall at the Masquerade Ball. Halloween was jam-packed day in Keremeos and surrounding areas with trick or treating, the fire works and bowling put on by Elim Tabernacle and the recreation centre, the Elks haunted house, dance in Cawston and the dance at the Keremeos Legion.

Joe LebeauEven local businesses got into the Halloween spirit with many employees dressing up, like this clown at Valu-Plus Foods. Can you guess who it is?
