Keremeos resident Bev Caswell (second from left) took visiting members of her family to the Similkameen River for a cooling swim last Wednesday, August 6. The water was reportedly cool, but refreshing. Last week’s hot weather presented residents with a great opportunity to go for a swim or lazy afternoon tube in the Similkameen.
Provincial real estate markets appear to be picking up, including local markets in the South Okanagan Similkameen.
For the � rst time in � ve years, Multiple Listing Service residential sales are exceed-
ing the 80,000 threshold. MLS residential sales are forecast to increase a further four per cent in 2015. Market conditions are generally considered to be on a much stronger footing now than at the start of the year.
Home sales rose sharply in the second quarter and some of the strongest gains in unit sales this year are expected in the Okanagan and Kootenay regions.
“The Similkameen market is picking up, not to say prices are,” reported Keremeos realtor Tuesday McDonald of Royal LeP-age Locations West Realty in Keremeos.
“More people are buying, prices are good but they aren’t rising.”
McDonald said where not too long ago there were no buyers, she’s now seeing “more action” in the market.
“Prices aren’t in� ated, actually prices are good,” she said, “there are more sold signs out there, that’s for sure.”In the local (Keremeos - Cawston and Olalla market, there have been 64 listings sold from January 1 to August 11 of the year, compared to 36 units sold during the same period last year. There are presently 135 active listings in the area.

Ross Thythall of Keremeos RCMP is organizing a bicycle patrol for the village. One of the problems experienced by the detachment with respect to the bike patrol has been the issue of staffing levels, but plans for a patrol are moving ahead. Other members will be receiving bike patrol accredi-tation in the coming weeks, including auxiliary officer Troyce Beglaw.On Thursday, August 7, two RCMP members made an inaugural bike patrol of the downtown area of Keremeos, in addition to a patrol of the former farmworker’s campground area. The bike patrol will not likely be ready for sched-uled rides this summer.

Okanagan Nation Alliance file lawsuit against the province
The Okanagan Nation Alliance (ONA) of which both the Upper and Lower Similkameen Bands are mem-bers, has filed legal action against the Province of British Columbia. The legal action will directly challenge the much criticized British Columbia Treaty Process.
“This lawsuit should come as no surprise to the province,” said Grand Chief Stewart Phillip. “The British Columbia Treaty Process is a broken system that fails to recognize estab-lished legal principles, traditional protocols, and our Title and Rights. By this lawsuit, we intend to put the province’s pattern of dishonourable and unlawful conduct before the court.”
The ONA’s legal action resulted from the province’s decision to sign an “Incremental Treaty Agreement”
with the Ktunaxa Nation Council to transfer approximately 241 hectares of land near Nakusp in the Arrow Lakes area as part of an early trans-fer of lands that will form part of a final Treaty.
The province did not consult with the ONA before signing the agree-ment, despite the fact that the area includes important village sites, hunt-ing grounds, and cultural heritage sites for the ONA communities and their members.
“The province doesn’t have the right to simply give away our Title and Rights,” said Grand Chief Phil-lip. “Overriding our Title and Rights to enter into an agreement with another First Nation is no way to achieve reconcilliation.”
The ONA made the decision to file the legal action after attempting for over a year to resolve the issue directly with the province.
“We offered the province a chance to rectify the situation through a process of collaborative, respectful engagement, but the province rejected this path,” said Grand Chief Phillip. “The province has shown us that it is not serious about resolving this issue, so we are taking action in comi to protect our Title and Rights for our people and communities.”
The ONA is made up of seven First Nations in British Columbia: the Lower Similkameen Band, Okana-gan Indian Band, Osoyoos Indian Band, Penticton Band, Upper Nicola Band, Upper Similkameen Band and Westbank First Nation, as well as the Colville Confederated Tribes in the United States. The·communities of the ONA include thousands of members who are Sinix: descendants who historically lived in the Arrow Lakes area.

A daily shuttle service running from Osoyoos to the Kelowna airport began Monday, August 11.
The new service will make 10 inter-community stops along the way and is sheduled to run four round trips per day.
The service is expected to improve ac-cess throughout the valley for residents and tourists alike.
Late last year, a network of Okana-gan-based organizations joined together to provide air travellers with improved ground transportation options to Pentic-ton and Kelowna Airports. Additionally, the service would improve inter-commu-nity access for locals and visitors.
Let’s Go! Transportation was selected as the contractor for the service, selected through a Request for Proposals.
Rates between Kelowna to Osoyoos are $45 one way or $30 from Penticton to Kelowna Airport. Air Canada, normally in the business of air service, sees this as a unique opportunity to connect air travellers to both Kelowna and Penticton airports to the entire South Okanagan.

EditorialExpanding public transit creates
opportunities
Last week’s announcement by the Thomp-son Okanagan Tourist Association regarding the establishment of a four times daily shuttle service running from Osoyoos to the Kelowna airport should be good news for Similkameen residents.
Improvements to the Similkameen’s Handy Dart service is planned as propos-als presented during the Transit Future bus’s stop in Keremeos late last month called for the service to run daily Monday to Friday, up from the current three times per week.
This should provide valley residents with a workable alternative to driving in order to access health care or travel opportunities in Kelowna and Penticton.
We see an opportunity for business in the Okanagan by providing parking facilities for those in the Similkameen who might want to access the Okanagan shuttle through the use of their own vehicle.
For example, Keremeos residents wish-ing to go on a holiday departing from either Penticton or Kelowna airport might find it more convenient - and cheaper - to drive to Penticton or Osoyoos, access the shuttle service and use it to get to the airport, avoid-ing the congestive nature of Kelowna traffic and the expense of daily parking fees at the airport.
What’s needed is a convenient, secure park-ing lot that provides easy access to the shuttle service in either Penticton or Osoyoos.
Cost for a ride on the shuttle from Osoyoos to Kelowna is $45. When one compares that with the cost and hassle of driving, as well as the cost of parking at the airport, the service seems to us to be reasonably priced. We’re hopeful that many residents of the Similka-meen will find the shuttle useful, because strong ridership will likely be the biggest factor in furthering the rapid expansion of public transit in both valleys.

With the Peach Festival hosting a number of good bands last week, it seemed to my wife and I that it would be a good idea to attend a few of the shows and maybe raise a little hell.But last week was one of those weeks where every night something seemed to get in the way of our plans.
Take last Wednesday, for instance. We thought we might like to go to the free concert that night, but we didn’t start discussing it until after we’d had a drink or two.
“It’s kind of late to de-cide to go now,” my wife said, “after we’ve had a drink.”
I agreed - then I remem-bered my buddy next door said he was going.
“No problem,” I said to my wife. “I’ll get Joe to drive.” I went next door, but Joe had the hood up on his car. He looked upset.
“It won’t move,” he said, gesturing toward the car, “I think the emerson drive is broken.”
“Oh, well,” I said to my wife upon returning home, “maybe we’ll go tomorrow night.”
But on Thursday eve-ning I had a headache, and I really didn’t feel like going.
“Oh, c’mon, be a troop-er,” my wife said, glancing out the window. Our other neighbours, two bachlelors who recently rented the house next door, were get-ting into their flashy new car, no doubt heading into Penticton for the show.
“There go the boys in the bright white sports car,” she said ruefully.
“Sorry, hon,” I said, reaching for a bottle of my favourite Santa Maria rum.
“I’m just not up to going into town tonight.”
“But it’s Peachfest,” my wife continued, “didn’t you just say last week that we should say to heck with everything - we’re here for a good time, not a long time?”
“Yeah but that was be-fore I had this headache,” I replied.
“In general, a hand grenade doesn’t move you if you don’t want to move,” she observed.
“I promise, Saturday night we’ll go for sure,” I said.
But once again, things just didn’t work out.
Late Saturday after-noon, I found myself be-hind schedule, and was late getting ready. That made my wife anxious.
“Isn’t it about time we hit the road, Jack?” she said to me.
“Yeah,“I said, sud-denly nicking my-self with the razor as I struggled to get ready. “Oh my lady!” I exclaimed, “that hurt.”
I had to stop the bleeding before we left, which made us even more tardy. My wife really wanted to see this show, and she wasn’t happy with the delays.
We finally got in the car and we made our way towards Penticton.
“It’s about time,” she huffed.
Boy, did she have wild eyes.
We couldn’t believe the crowds when we got down to the waterfront. People were moving in on the park from every direction.
“Where is the concert?”
my wife asked, unfamiliar with the Okanagan Lake Park venue. I didn’t know exactly where it was, either.
“I dunno,” I replied, “Let’s just follow these other stampeders.”
The crowd massed at the bottleneck entrance to the park. It was wall to wall people everywhere.
“Looks like you’re gon-na have to carry me above this crowd,” my wife said.
Unfortunately, I’ve nev-er been much of one for large crowds.
I started feeling my ago-raphobia.
“Look.” I said to her, “I know we’re here to rock and roll, but what do you say we go to the Dream Cafe and watch Ramona, the Minstrel Gypsy, instead? It won’t be as crowded.”
Fortunately for me, my wife isn’t much for crowds, either. She reluctantly agreed that it would prob-ably be less stressful for us to do that.
We had most of the per-formers’ albums at home, anyway, and it seemed to me we knew most of the music by heart.
Peach Festival concerts would have been nice to seeBy Steve Arstad [email protected]

Commuting to Nickle Plate in bygone days
I have come to have a great deal of respect for the har-diness and ingenu-ity of the men who worked in the Mas-cot and Nickel Plate mines in the first half of the last century. The mines were high above Hedley and for those who had a wife and children in town, transportation was a constant chal-lenge. According to historian Doug Cox, miners were allowed to ride in the skips used to transport ore down to the Stamp Mill. Permits were required though and they were limited. Tough and deter-mined, the miners resorted to innova-tion.
Cox says, “Some men got around the pass system by hid-ing near the upper ore bin until the skip had started down. Then they jumped on. The hitch hikers jumped off the skip before it reached the bottom ore bin and kept out of sight of the supervising staff. They skirted around the bluff, then down to the Hedley town site.”
In my opinion, it is the “broom rid-ers” who were the most inventive and enterprising. In a letter to the Western in the June 20, 1990 edition, miner Bob MacRae (now de-ceased) wrote about placing a broom on one of the ore car rails and riding on it down the mountain.
“This ‘broom affair’” he says, “consisted of a piece of rub-ber belting and a piece of tin chan-nelled to fit the rail. It was nailed to an old house broom.” He wore old rub-ber boots for brakes and found that if he cut the handle off the broom, he could double his speed.
His record for a trip down the moun-tain was four and one half minutes, includ-ing walking several flat stretches. On one occasion a worker had wiped grease on the rail and Bob’s rubber boot brakes became useless. His speed increased con-siderably. “I think I probably broke my record,” he says in his letter.
Bob’s sister Effie, a Hedley high school graduate, told me he had a good rea-son to rush down the mountain after work each day. “Bob had a new English bride from Manchester,” she said. W h e n I asked her if her brother had been a d a r e d e v i l t y p e , she said, “Oh no, h e wa s very cau-t i o u s . ” Possibly there were things about Bob that Effie didn’t know.
In time, others joined Bob in broom riding. Not all cop-ied his more ad-vanced innovation. Some just borrowed
a broom and rode down.
Ken Jones, a for-mer miner now living on Old Hedley Road, tried it once, “just for the fun. I couldn’t
get the balance o r t h e speed,” he told me. “It w a s n ’ t for me.”
I n t i m e , c o m -p a n y officials banned
broom riding, but this left them short of more than 20 miners due to lack of trans-portation. To make up the deficiency they brought in a bus, and Bob MacRae was one of two drivers
assigned to driving duties. Bob’s descrip-tion of this assign-ment suggests the bus ride may have been more danger-ous than riding the broom. “Snow, ice, rocks, cows, hors-es and deer on the road with numerous blind corners made it treacherous driving,” he said. “There was times I wished I was riding carefree down the mountain on my broom.”
I wonder what present day union bosses and the WCB would have to say about this practise. Unfortunate ly, I have seen no photos of these ingenious, hardy men racing down the mountain on their brooms.
Miners used ore skips to commute between Nickle Plate and Hedley in days gone by.

To the editor:My response to the Keremeos Irrigation
District information letter in the July 24/2014 Keremeos Review:
Water consumption has increased in the Village. Do you think it might have to do with more subdivisions, more people, summer time usage, irrigation, people visiting or just pass-ing through, etc?
You said that KID appreciates the ratepay-ers co-operation in water conservation, yet more homes get built, more building permits are issued, more area is developed. More money made by certain people, but the public is asked to conserve.
Nice to hear the reservoir is coming on line. An Alternate Approval Process and a referendum were held, that cost us big dollars, concerning the reservoir. The KID ignored public opinion concerning the reservoir, along with village of� cials.
I can forgive what’s been done in this vil-lage, but I won’t forget the democratic process I feel the KID destroyed in this village, along with the mayor, village council, and the CAO, in the process. But that’s okay, the reservoir is built now. Cure all to end all, right?
The KID statement concerning the � re at the Red Bridge Pub is misleading, in my
view. Keremeos has been without a reservoir for how long now? With three structure � res in the downtown area recently, water was not an issue. The KID spokesperson stated that the Red Bridge Pub � re happened at a low usage time of the day. That’s misleading, in my opinion.
According to statistics, the heavy use times for water consumption are between 6-10 a.m. (people waking up and getting ready for the day, showers, breakfast, irrigating etc.), and in the evening between 6-10 p.m., for much the same reasons.
Now about a pump failure while � ghting a � re. An act of God or mechanical problems, not much you can do about that, things hap-pen. What about no electrical power to the pumps and no back up power, that would not be an act of God, that would be lack of plan-ning. Naramata has realized that this can be a very real possibility (no power). Naramata is now in the process of putting generators in place at their pump stations.
I appreciate the KID statement about en-joying the rest of my summer. Thank you! I know you’re only kidding, right? After all, the KID has already demonstrated to me, what they think of my concerns, opinion or vote.
Bob Hoisington, Keremeos

Keremeos resi-dent Merrill Hewitt re-
cently wrote a short memoir describing the 30 months he spent as Aviation Machinist’s Mate in the South Atlantic during World War II.
Hewitt served with patrol squad-ron 83, later re-named bombing squadron 107, most of the time patrol-ling the South Atlantic for enemy submarines.
The squadron received a presiden-tial citation in 1950 “for extraordinary heroism in action against enemy forces in Atlantic waters during the periods January through April 1943.”
Hewitt’s account describes dates and events with excep-tional historical accuracy and detail, because Hewitt was able to draw on log books he kept of his flight crew’s war efforts. He shines an informative light on a theatre of the Second World War that has received little attention over the years.
In looking back on his war years. Hewitt speculates, offering a number of “what if” scenar-ios on incidents de-scribed in his story that, had fate not unfolded as it did, would most likely have killed him.
Without actually saying it, Hewitt conveys a strong message that “war is hell” through his descriptions and comments over the results of some of his patrol’s encoun-ters with the enemy.
Hewitt enlisted in the U.S. Navy as an underage 17 year old in Orlando, Florida .
“I didn’t even know Canada existed then,” he recalled when asked how he ended up in Keremeos.
Merrill and his wife, Helen, farmed and worked in Oregon in the 1960s when Merrill heard stories about the Vanderhoof area from a fellow mill-worker. Eventually, the Hewitts sold their holdings in Oregon and moved everything else to the Burns Lake area where they raised 200 head of cattle. They became Canadian citizens in 1967.
“Then the mar-ket sagged,” Hewitt said, “we were con-stantly having bear issues, and we were getting tired of the long cold winters, and black flies in summer.” Hewitt’s health was also compromised after a heart attack.
The couple had been making trips to Oregon over the years, making regu-lar overnight stops in Keremeos at the Elks Motel.
“We always liked this valley,” Merrill recalled. In 1995, they sold their Burns Lake holdings and moved to Middle Bench Road.
At the age of 89, Merrill still suffers from the psycho-logical effects of combat.
“There are two incidents that I think about all the time,” he said, “the thoughts keep coming back. I have sleepless nights about them.”
Merrill described the two instances - one being an at-tack on a German submarine that took place with another PB4Y (an aircraft used by the navy as a patrol bomber) in his squadron.
Merrill’s plane was patrolling a short distance behind the attacking plane and he described the scene in his memoir:
“We were right behind number eight as they made their attack and saw their bombs string out right along side the sub and felt their was no need to bomb it again. Shortly it became obvious that it was badly damaged and beginning to settle by the stern, so we decided to circle the stricken subma-rine with number eight. Before long, men began pouring out of the conning tower and jumping into the water.
“...It looked as if the entire crew was now in the water surrounding the sub and it was obvious that in would be a matter of minutes before it was gone. They continued trying to get the second raft inflated as the sub began to slide stern first under water, the bow tipping almost straight up before slowly sliding under and out of sight.Meanwhile, the first raft was drift-ing in the wind... by this time was a
good half mile away from where the sub had gone down. The rest of the survivors were still gathered around the second raft with little prospect of survival,being 400 miles from the near-est land.”
Merrill also de-scribed an incident where a new auxil-iary fuel tank was being used for the first time while far offshore on patrol. The fuel transfer system failed to operate correctly, and Hewitt’s plane nearly came close to crashing twice on the flight - once when the fuel starved engines quit, and a second time when the plane returned to base with just fumes re-maining in the tank.
“We did what we could, I guess,” he said summariz-ing his squadron’s war effort in simple terms.
“Some instances I hated - I can’t get over thinking about it.”
Merrill also de-scribes an incident where his crew, re-turning from patrol, spotted a whale and used it for target practice.
A tale of war in the South Atlantic
Merrill Hewitt holds two mementos from his years of service in the South Atlantic during World War 11. In his right hand is a piece of shrapnel-riddled wing from the PB4-Y he was flying in when strafed by a submarine. In his left hand is a photo showing members of his flight crew.

“We didn’t need to do that,” he said regretfully.
Hewitt spent two days adrift at sea himself, after navy spare part supply problems resulted in his aircrew hav-ing to fly a malfunctioning airplane.
On a routine patrol, while heav-ily loaded and flying at low altitiude, one of the plane’s engine carburetors failed, resulting in an engine failure. The plane quickly lost altitude and crashed into the ocean, seriously injur-ing Hewitt and another crew member. The seven crew members drifted in a survival raft until they were spotted by a search aircraft. Hewitt figures that with his injuries, he only had hours
left at the time of their rescue.This incident and others like it
described in Hewitt’s memoir help to illustrate to the reader how risky the lives of his squadron members were. He discusses supply and policy issues with the navy that in some cases caused more trouble than enemy gunfire.
“There are two words that keep coming back to me,” he wrote near the conclusion of his memoir, “They are ‘what if.’”
In spite of the haunting memo-ries, Hewitt and Helen (who he met towards the end of his service) have survived to raise four children. Merrill has been plagued with hearing issues
since the war, but said the U.S. Veter-ans Administration continues to do a “good job of looking after us.”
“We sit here each day and watch people rush past our house on High-way 3A on their way to Penticton. We see two Greyhound buses and one school bus go by each day and always check to see if they are on time... In our bedroom are two pictures of PB4Y No.7, (his plane) one in flight and one parked at Ibura Field in Natal, Brazil, with our crew of funny looking guys in front of it I look at these pictures each morning when I wake up and remember when.
“And ‘what if’. I just can’t seem to forget them.”

SUMMER FEET BLUES
Do your heels become dry, calloused and cracked during the summer? Here are the causes and the answers to smooth, soft, feet in quick simple ideas you can put into practice today.Every summer as an esthetician I am besieged with people who have problems with their feet, especially their heels. Usually they start out by apologizing for the state of their calluses. If that sounds familiar you will empathize with these men and women.The main culprits for this problem lay in the weather, here in the Okanagan the air is VERY dry (remember we live in a desert). In the winter it is also dry, but our feet are usually wrapped up in socks and warm shoes or boots protecting them from the drying effects of the air and the artificial heating. But with the warmer weather comes the desire to walk around in sandals as often as possible (it’s only natural) or even bare feet.So now our feet are subject to the air sucking the moisture out of our soles all day and night.Other causes are having naturally dry skin and some can be from a fungal infection (athletes foot) this fungus loves the perspiration of our feet. The fungus peels away at the skin allowing more and more skin to be available to the dry air. What to do?Here are some handy tips which will take next to no time (as all women are to busy already):Purchase a good quality foot file, like the estheticians use they are about $7 and will last you many many years.Don’t be tempted to use a razor or scissors to cut off this area of skin. Cutting or shaving will only make it grow back stronger in response to protect itself. I know that many estheticians use these in pedicures but if you research this issue on the internet or health resources you will find that this practice is outlawed in 22 US states and many countries around the world.Use the foot file every day, this way the skin cannot build up and become a big problem. You can use them wet or dry and while many feel that dry is superior, I find whichever is easier for you to do daily will be best as frequency is more important. For most clients I rec-ommend that they put a little soap on the file and use it to wash their feet, they have to do this daily any way and therefore is not really an extra step. Just for 10 or 20 seconds each day is usually enough for maintenance.Apply a rich foot cream at night (when in bed is often best so it soaks overnight and doesn’t become walked over the floor) this will take only one minute per day. Place an old hand towel under for a few minutes while you relax or read. Creams with shea butter or mango butter are good choices as they will have deep moisturizing qualities that last well. If there is no improvement in 2 weeks you may have a fungal condition, have your naturopath or Doctor check it for you. Tea tree or lavender oils are great anti fungal treatments for this or you can use something from the drug store.Be sure to treat your shoes with a spray or powder as well so you don’t re-infect yourself and have other members of your family look at their feet too.Have a professional pedicure at least once each summer if possible; the esthetician can get the majority of it under control for you. You should be able to take it from there. If your feet are quite bad right now you may wish to do so first and then start your maintenance plan. Just adding a frequent file and mois-turizing to your feet will bring back your feet and heels to the soft, touchable toes you wish you had.

DIGITALIZATION OF THE HUMAN BODYThe idea of digitalization of the human body is coming. There are blood glucose machines that can connect to an iPhone. Soon, blood pressure and other vital statistics will be added and can be downloaded to your doctor. Eventually, your genetic data will be in a form that will allow your doctor to prescribe the drug that will work best for you.
BRUISING AS WE GET OLDERBruising is more common as we get older. Tiny blood vessels, called capillaries in our skin become more fragile and are more likely to rupture. Also the skin contains less fat so there is less protection for the capillaries. Even though we bruise more easily as we age, your doctor should be consulted if you have large painful bruises or bruises that come on suddenly.
HEARTBURNHeartburn results when the valve that shuts off the tube to the stomach doesn’t seal well enough and allows the food to come back up the tube (esophagus). Because that food has been mixing with stomach acid, this regurgitation causes the burning feeling in the esophagus. If heartburn becomes chronic, see your doctor.
HELP THE MEDICINE GO DOWN...If you have to give your child a medication that doesn’t taste that good, try giving a cold treat like a Popsicle before and after giving the medicine. The cold will help numb the taste buds and make the bad taste less noticeable.Our pharmacists feel that keeping current with all the latest advances in medicine and pharmacY is important. It enables us to serve you better.
END-OF-SUMMER CHECKLISTAfter a few months of blue skies and warm tempera-tures, summer revelers will soon bid adieu to the sultry days of this beloved season. Summer is often a season filled with vacations and recreation, but as the warm days dwindle and work and school commitments begin anew, there is additional work to be done in preparation for the months ahead.* Stock up on pool equipment. Homeowners who have pools can take advantage of end-of-season sales to purchase a few more gallons of pool chlorine or other pool equipment. Store them after you have winterized the pool, and you will be ahead of the game in terms of supplies for next year.* Plan your garden harvest. If you have a backyard garden, pick your tomatoes and other vegetables before the weather starts to get chilly. Herbs can be washed and frozen in zipper-top baggies so they can be used when cooking over the next several months. Boil toma-toes for sauce and freeze or jar them. Begin to clear out residual stems and plant debris from the garden.* Clean patios and furniture. Scrub and hose down outdoor furniture, cushions and living areas. Clean and dry items before storing them for the winter, so every-thing is ready to go when the warm weather returns next year. * Purchase spring bulbs. Buy bulbs for spring-bloom-ing flowers and map out where they will be planted for beautiful flowers next year. Wait until temperatures start to dip before planting the bulbs, otherwise they may begin to produce shoots prematurely, zapping the bulbs of energy.* Check the heating system. Although turning on the heat may be the last thing you’re thinking about, it’s a good idea to test it and, if necessary, have the system serviced prior to the arrival of cold weather.* Tend to the deck and other repairs. Make repairs to outdoor structures now, and they’ll be more likely to survive the harsh weather that’s just over the horizon. Apply stain or sealant to further protect wood struc-tures in advance of snow and ice.* Examine the roof and chimney. Winter is a poor time to learn you have missing roof shingles or a leak. Furthermore, ensure the chimney and venting to the outdoors is not obstructed by abandoned animal nests.* Check your closets. Go through clothing and remove any items that are damaged or no longer fit, donating them if possible. Clean out kids’ closets as well, as pants that fit perfectly in May will not necessarily fit come September.* Stock the shed. Once the weather has cooled down, move outdoor flower pots, hoses and lawn ornaments you no longer need into the shed or garage while ensuring items needed in fall and winter, such as rakes, snow shovels and snowblowers, are more accessible.

There’s still lots to see and do at the Grist Mill as the summer season slowly winds down this month.
On August 15 at 7 p.m. the fourth of the Grist Mill’s Summer Concert series continues with Jeff Warner.
Coming all the way from New Hampshire, Jeff Warner is among America’s foremost performer/interpreters of traditional music. His songs from the lumber camps, fishing villages and mountain tops of America connect 21st century audiences with the everyday lives–and artistry–of 19th century Americans. Tickets: $15. Dinner boxes available starting at 5:30 p.m.
Rustic Roots Winery will be selling their wines at this show.On August 16 at 1:30 p.m. a workshop teaches participants
how to make a lovely Victorian-style needle case booklet to store your needles, pins and scissors in.
Local artisan Monty will be instructing. Registration is re-quired and at the end of the workshop, you will take home your own booklet. Cost is $25 per person, includes admission to the heritage site and your own needle booklet.
Jennifer Douglass and Andrew English from the Hedley Heri-tage Museum share their discoveries on the many contributions our towns in the Similkameen Valley gave during the Great War.
Come to the mill to listen to their presentation “World War One and Similkameen Contributions” on August 17 at 1:30 p.m.
On August 23, see The Return Of Julia Bullock-Webster. The performance shows at 3 and 6 p.m.
The Grist Mill is pleased to welcome back Grist Mill alumni, Christine Pilgrim, as she reprises her role of Julia Bullock Web-ster — an English-born gentlewoman who visited two of her sons who settled in the remote Similkameen Valley in the early 1890s and became friends with the proprietor of the Grist Mill, Barrington Price. Her stunning watercolours and meticulous journal continue to provide amazing insight into pioneer living in the Similkameen.
On August 24, Grist Mill miller and historian Cuyler Page presents Barrington Price at 1:30 p.m.
Page will retrace the journey of Barrington Price and his impact on the growth of the communities around the mill and within the Similkameen Valley.
The Grist Mill is looking for volunteers to help host a mini Fall Fair on Sunday, September 21 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
All sorts of family-oriented fun will be included: old-fashioned games and crafts, entertainment and more than 60 categories for competition in the realms of baking, produce, flowers, preserving and arts and crafts. If you’re interested in volunteering for such an event, get in touch with Chris at 250-499-2888.
