Q: Do you have any tips on how to time manage a holiday meal? A: The best tips I can give anyone is to do your MEP first and then the day of the meal all you are doing is the fin- ishing dishes. Let me explain MEP. In the culinary world it means “Mise En Place” which in everyone else’s terms means prep work. If you are making stuffing for example cut all your vegetables and bread a couple of days before and then ear- lier in the day make the stuffing, and then you can just rewarm it before your meal. Q: What is the oddest or most unique stuffing you have ever made and how did you make it? A: I have made a wild rice and hazelnut with sun dried cran- berries. Wild rice is great to use instead of bread, as it brings a great flavour. The tip is to toast the rice a bit first and then cook to about 70 per cent and then the rest of the way in the stuffing process. Q: Are there any secrets to making great gravy? A: If you are making tra- ditional gravy you want to start with a good turkey stock. So you are making this the day before get some turkey bones and roast them and then make a stock. Then you are going to start with some bacon fat or butter and saute some minced onion shal- lot and garlic in till soft and then add flour to create a roux. Next you are going to deglaze with white wine (use the wine your are drinking with dinner) then start adding your stock. Let this simmer for 15-20 minutes to cook out the flour and then fin- ish with seasonings (fresh sage, thyme and rosemary, sea salt and good cracked pepper). If you don’t want to use flour you could substitute a gluten free flour or before you add the seasonings make a slurry with cornstarch and water and whisk that in until the gravy is thick. Then you want to reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes to cook the cornstarch out and then add your seasonings to finish. Q: In your opinion what is the best way to make a leftover Christmas turkey sandwich? A: I would make a turkey bun with roasted garlic and cran- berry mayo and a little warmed stuffing mixed with gravy on top of that and then turkey and salt and pepper. Q: Do you have any creative ideas on how to use leftovers? (turkey, stuffing, vegetables) A: Yes. That is what Chefs have to do. There’s a variety of ways to use leftover turkey including tur- key soup/ turkey stew/ turkey pot pie/ turkey fajitas/ turkey stir fry/ turkey lasagna.

Chef Schooten dishes about holiday cooking
As this time of year is synony-mous with eating, it only seemed fitting the Review would go to one of the best chefs in the area for some tips, tricks and keen insights on how to survive the holidays in the kitchen this sea-son.
Natasha Schooten, from the
Grist Mill answers six questions to help with everything from meal prep to what to do with your leftovers. Enjoy!
Q: Do you have any tips on how to time manage a holiday meal?
A: The best tips I can give
anyone is to do your MEP first and then the day of the meal all you are doing is the fin-ishing dishes. Let me explain MEP. In the culinary world it means “Mise En Place” which in everyone else’s terms means prep work. If you are making stuffing for example cut all your vegetables and bread a couple of days before and then ear-lier in the day make the stuffing, and then you can just rewarm it before your meal.

Review Staff A holiday grinch visited Cawston last week, cutting
down and making away with a family’s beloved blue spruce tree.
Ruth Schulze was exasperated as she talked about the selfish crime that she believes was done by some-one that knew her schedule.
“There are bigger issues going on in the world than my little tree that someone stole but I just can’t believe folks would do a thing like that,” she said while stand-ing beside what was left of the tree, just a stump about six inches high.
The culprits ignored the no trespassing sign on a locked gate and cut down the tree sometime in the early morning hours of Dec. 17.
Schulze believes it was someone who knows her daily routine.
She walks her two dogs every morning at the same time and then generally comes out for a walkabout around the property several hours later.
Sometime between walking the dogs and the walk-about the tree was stolen.
“Whoever it was knew my habits,” she said. “It was there that morning and then it was just gone. I almost tripped over the stump.”
Schulze, a lifelong resident of Cawston moved to her home on Lowe Drive in 1988. Her and her husband turned several acres of the property into a park area with landscaped land, grasses and a variety of trees and bushes.
The blue spruces were specifically chosen so they would grow full and act as a barrier between the prop-erty and the orchards the Schulze’s lease adjacent to their home.

Nitisopon living cafe´ dream in retirement
Tara Bowie Review Staff
It’s not a mystery anymore when Keremeos’s newest cafe´ is opening it’s doors.
After months of construction and renova-tion, The Secret Garden Cafe´ had its soft open earlier this month at its location on 7th Avenue.
The shop has been the retirement dream of Toy Nitisopon and wife Toon Chaicomdee for years.
“We always want to open cafe´,” he said during an interview at his shop last week. “It’s too early for me to retire now. I’ll get bored and lazy. I just wanted to open something where people can have healthy drinks and food.”
Nitisopon owned a restaurant in his native country of Thailand for many years before selling and moving to Vancouver. He managed a restaurant in Vancouver for many years. Chaicomdee still works at her brother’s restau-rant Benja Thai Restaurant from time to time.
The couple moved to Keremeos about three years after visiting family in the area.
Nitisopon said he always wanted to cafe´because he himself loves coffee and teas. He said he thought his business would supply something that Keremeos doesn’t have at the moment. The Secret Garden Cafe´offers Doi Chaang coffee. The coffee comes from Thailand and is organic and fairtrade coffee.
“This is the best coffee in the world and I’m not just saying that. Also by buying it money is given back to the village,” he said.
He is also offering a wide variety of herbal, non-caffeinated teas. Handmade treats includ-ing tarts and cookies are made by Chaicomdee along with a variety of lunch specials.
Lunch specials will change daily. The Secret Garden Cafe´is currently open
Monday to Saturday 8 a.m. To 4 p.m.
Tara Bowie Owner Toy Nitisopon serves up a cafe latte´ behind the counter of Secret Garden Cafe´.
An interesting way to use left-over stuffing (if there is any) is to press it into a cake pan and then cut pieces and use it to make a savoury french toast. Leftover stuffing can also be used in bread pudding or stuffing dumplings for soup.
Leftover vegetable can easily be pureed to make a soup. The puree could also be used instead of a starch/cut in a frittata or quiche. They can also be used for Omelette fillings.
I had a cook from Australia one
year who decided to teach us how to make a thanksgiving Pizza.
Pizza dough base, then mashed potatoes, cheese, stuffing, gravy then cranberry on top YUMMM it was actually good.
Q: Do you put the stuffing in the bird or leave it out?
A: I personally leave it out because you can layer the flavours as it is cooking and so it does not turn into a ball of mush.
Kim EnglishHedley Heritage Museum
“After the Fire” January 1, 1919Built in 1902 by McDermott
& Marks and later sold to Robert Herron and Anton Winkler, the sub-stantial Grand Union Hotel once stood at the north-eastern corner of Scott Avenue and Haynes Street in Hedley. The hotel proudly boasted its “good table and comfortable rooms” the “choice liquor” and always kept cigars in stock. Anton Winkler directed the staff to give careful attention to the wants of
the travelling public and regular boarders.
It was First Class Accommodation until the eve of December 31st, 1918 when fire completely destroyed the build-ing. Earlier that evening Winkler had brought a party in his car to Princeton to attend a hockey game and dance. He was notified by phone that his place was on fire. The Grand Union was the second hotel built in Hedley and did a roar-ing business. Winkler had $5,000 insurance on the building - quite a sum in those days.

Hedley Heritage Museum, Harry Barnes Collection It was a tough start to the New Year for the owners of the Grand Union Hotel in Hedley back in 1919. The second hotel ever built in Hedley caught fire December, 31, 1918. Anton and Maggie Winkler’s children are in the foreground of the photo-graph, left to right, Gould, Anton, Christine, Edith, Minnie and Margaret.

Planning an art show.Screening a movie.Making birch bark baskets.Attending a CD launch party.Dancing.Participating in workshops, listening to guest
speakers, taking part in round table discussions.Sitting at a healing circle.Drumming.Singing.It’s all being done in British Columbia today to
end violence against Aboriginal women and girls.These projects – and others like them – are funded
by the province through the Giving Voice program, an initiative born of a ministerial advisory group made up solely of First Nations’ women. Over two years Giving Voice is contributing $350,000 to com-munity-based programs aimed at creating opportu-nities for Aboriginal people to talk about violence against women, and then providing resources to make changes through implementation and action.
The brilliant part is listening to First Nations women; taking an ethnic problem, a cultural prob-lem, and arguably a Canadian problem, and putting at least part of the answer in the hands of the people it affects most.
The lives of Aboriginal women will not be improved until they are empowered to make improvements. Giving Voice – the project is well-named.
Thirty-seven community groups are receiving funding through Giving Voice, and an additional $50,000 of government money is earmarked for a related province wide forum in October 2015.
Many of the Giving Voice projects ongoing or planned focus on inclusion, and involve not only First Nations women and girls, but men and Elders. In Fraser-Fort St. George a mentorship program is underway, connecting Elders with men of all ages to create a space in which men feel safe to confront some of the key issues that might fuel abusive behavior.
They also focus on education – entertaining guest speakers who cover the gambit from traditional activities and lifestyles, decision-making, healthy choices, and family management. In Kitimat-Stikine three full-day workshops are planned to help raise women’s awareness and sense of empowerment. Topics include risk factors and the arrangement of a local support group within the community.
Violence against First Nations women – all women actually – most often begins in the home and under the eyes of a community that chooses to look the other way. The women who conceived Giving Voice understand that violence must be stopped in the same places.
They are also giving hope.
Giving Voice grants give hope too

You must be a really nice person
old dog new tricks
ANDREA DEMEER
It is my experience that some of the nicest people in the world are community newspaper readers.
To clarify, I don’t think people are nice because they read the community news-paper. Community papers naturally attract nice people; people who are interested in the neighborhoods around them, people who are active in their town and want to feel connected to others.
You can always judge a readership by the temperature of the circulation complaints.
People who work in the circulation side of the business don’t have an easy life. At large papers they do nothing all day but take complaints and not one goes by that someone doesn’t yell at them and hang up the phone.
No one ever thinks to call that department and say “Good job. I got my paper on time this morning, it was in perfect condition, and the carrier didn’t walk-ing across my flower bed.”
One of the best cir-
culation complaints to ever hit the desk at the daily Woodstock Sentinel Review came from about two dozen different people, all living on the same four blocks, who were upset because some-one had cut a large hole out of the front page. A carrier object-ed to the word “hell-ish” in the headline and felt it was wrong to distribute profanity. She sat down with her bundle of papers and practiced a little edit-ing. (Her papers were also delivered late, that day.)
There was a race in the newsroom to see who could tweet that story first. If you Google the key words you will see the carrier made headlines around the globe – as far away as the United Emirates and most notably in the New York Times.
The industry takes the idea of censorship very seriously, even when the person exe-cuting it is a woman at her kitchen table with a pair of craft scissors, just trying to do what she thinks is right.
We don’t get a
lot of circulation complaints at the Keremeos Review. We have a crackerjack circulation clerk in the person of Tammy Hartfield. Also, the paper is delivered to mailboxes by Canada Post. According to that corporation’s website the average age of a
Canada Post employee is 48 and payscale.com puts the median annual salary of a letter car-rier at nearly $50,000.
I love young news-paper delivery boys and girls, with their paper bags and their wagons and their rosy cheeks. However when you consider those same carriers have hockey practice and piano lessons,
and homework every night, and they earn maybe five dollars a week – well, they can make the post office look pretty darned reli-able.
All that said when there is a circula-tion problem at the Review the complain-ant is unfailingly kind. Usually the conversa-tion begins with an apology. “I’m sorry to bother you but I didn’t get my paper this week.” The reader is also willing to assume blame almost immedi-ately. “Maybe I didn’t renew my subscription in time.”
See? Community newspaper readers = nice.
The crankiest read-ers in the world are the people who read shoppers. Most shop-pers have now flown the way of the ptero-dactyl. (I thank Kijiji, and similar free clas-sified sites.) However for a couple of fairly depressing years I published a shopper – the Pennysaver it was called at one time – in Kitchener-Waterloo Ontario. With a cir-culation of more than
100,000 and at least 1,000 carrier routes life was just one long complaint.
Loud, threatening, obscene. It is amazing, the abuse some people will heap on a com-plete stranger because he didn’t receive a free Pennysaver. Those people compare favor-ably, however, with the ones who received a free paper after expressly asking it not be delivered. The only time I’ve had to call the police to handle a circulation complaint was after a woman promised to take the day off work and lay in wait for her carrier to “catch him” deliver-ing her Pennysaver.
Hours I spent, staring at the plaster cracks in the ceil-ing, trying to devise a way to connect the people who didn’t get a Pennysaver, with the people who got one and didn’t want one, that would remove me entirely from the equa-tion.
Readers of the Review– thank you for being such nice people.

NEW YEAR’S EVE!
SUNDAY LUNCHES IN IRELAND AND BUTTERFLIES
As a young woman growing up in Ireland, I would go down to my Mum’s Irish Cottage every Sunday, even if I was a bit tired from my Saturday night out with friends. I often brought a friend with me to share in this these great Sunday lunches.She had such interesting people she’d invited to the table. It was a wonderful gathering of family and friends. I remember one Sunday; there was someone from Russia, someone who’d just got back from an Ashram in India and another from some faraway place. Sometimes there was a poet, an artist or a musician.It was always such an eye opening experience to meet different people and hear about their lives. I loved bringing my friends to our Sunday lunches and we would also share all our own news with my Mum. When the weather was good she set up a long table out in the garden of her 17th century cottage.After Sunday lunch her brothers and sisters would drop by. My Nana Aine lived with her on her own side of the house and I would always go down to see her for a chat before lunch. My Nana was such an amazing person and like my mum, nana was an inspiration to me. They both inspired me to be the best I could and made me feel I was a good person and I could do anything I dreamed or wished to become.One day I was talking to either my Mum or my Nana, I can’t recall now but I was telling them how I suffered big times from nerves and get butterflies in my stomach when considering doing something new - some adventure like heading to Canada or Australia on my own or considering taking a new job, workshop or course.She told me” Ah sure they are just butterflies!. You only get them when you are doing something brave or about to do some adventure that is good for you. She explained that when the butterflies are in their chrysalis or cocoon, it has to stretch its wings to try and break free. This motion helps strengthen its wings until one day it is strong enough to break through and fly off to see the world and have new adventures.These butterflies you feel, Maria, are your sign that you are getting ready to step into a new adventure, a new stage in your life and that you are on the right path.These butterflies in your stomach are good -not to fear them but to embrace them as you are stepping forward in life. Then she said “You don’t get butterflies sitting on a sofa watching the Telly every night, do you!.” This article is of the copyright of OK in Health and the author; any reproduction, duplication and transmission of the article are to have prior written approval by OK in Health or the authorThese articles are provided by OK In Health eMagazine.

CONTROLLING DIABETESThere are many alternate therapies on the market that are promoted to lower blood sugar in diabetics. These include psyllium, chromium, cinnamon and vanadium but the results are variable with these. There is really no magic bullet in controlling diabetes. Eating an appropriate diet, exercising regularly, understanding the disease, and following your doctors orders regarding medication are the best.
GOOD ORAL HYGIENE, WHOLE BODY HEALTHWe often mention the importance of good oral hygiene as a way of keeping your whole body healthy. For people with gum problems like gingivitis, dentists often suggest an antibacterial product containing chlorhexidine as a mouth rinse. For best effect, this product should be used at least 30 minutes after brushing teeth. Some ingredients in toothpaste can interfere with the ef� cacy of the rinse.
ENERGY DRINKSEnergy drinks are becoming popular but they should not be confused with sports drinks like Gatorade which basically rehydrate the body and provide sugars to create energy. The energy drinks contain products like caffeine, taurine (an amino acid that is one of the building blocks of protein), vitamins and a carbohydrate called glucorunolactone. Energy drinks should not be overused.
A NEW USE FOR THALIDOMIDEThe drug thalidomide that was taken off the market back in 1961 because of causing tragic birth defects, is back as a drug used to treat a cancer called multiple myeloma. It is used in people over the age of 65 in combination with other drugs.Keeping up to date on the latest in drug therapy is a part of our job we enjoy. Pharmacy is a life-long learning profession. This helps us advise you better.

To the Editor:
Good news times two!One I attended the Cawston
Primary School’s Christmas Concert yesterday, and it was a joy!
These events are always fun. Kids are just plain good energy, and it’s infectious. Kudos to the whole stage-full of them, and to the school staff who choreo-graphed the delightfully themed performance.
Two: Last Thursday’s edition of the Review reported on the SESS Christmas Concert, present-ed the previous week. I missed it this year for the first time in nine years, but the music program there is consistently amazing, and it was my loss. I was especially pleased to read and see photos
of a new addition to the School’s musical offering – SESS now has a choir! As broad and rich as the school’s instrumental music experience has been, I’ve always wished there were also a choral component.
Musical instruments are expensive, and not all families can afford them. But we all have a choral instrument built right into us, played loud and naturally beginning with a baby’s first cry. Some few of us, instrumentally or vocally, are potentially gifted soloists, and how fine that can be!
But when we are given the opportunity, and encouraged to sing and play together, we learn the beauty that comes only from the harmony of many. We learn to listen to our fellow band or choir members; we learn to be
sensitive to their presence – to their unique offerings; we learn to cooperate toward a common inspiring goal; at our best we blend with each other and become as One. Human beings can never over-learn the arts of listening, sensitivity, appreciation, coopera-tion, blended integration, and har-mony. And that’s what a school’s music program helps to teach. “Singing and Playing Together” is exactly what we all need. Kudos to Mr. Falk, our school’s new music teacher, for adding this choral dimension to our students’ curriculum. Thank you Matthew. I join in the applause.
The yard is fenced. The gate is locked. The sign states no tres-passing. On December 17 you entered my yard at 886 Lowe
Drive in Cawston with a saw and the intent to steal a six-foot blue spruce.
Congratulations hero! Your family must be so proud of you; in 2015 you can add thief and
vandal to your resume. People like you make mockery in the belief of peace and goodwill toward fellow man.

RDOS reminds residents of garbage, tree recycling options
Cawston United ChurchLessons & Carol Service
7:00 pm2146 Main St. Cawston, BC
Everyone Welcome!
Residents across the RDOS with regular garbage collection on Thursday will not receive refuse collection on Christmas and New Years Days.
Please check with your local collection calendar for recy-cling collection dates.
All other collection days remain the same including Friday December 26. If you are visiting a local landfill over the
holidays please check to ensure the days of operation as some may be closed on specific days.
Give your Christmas Tree and burnt out Christmas lights a second life this holiday sea-son by recycling them at one of many convenient locations throughout the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen.
Burning Christmas Trees create strong smoke due to
moisture in the wood and needles. Fine particulates from smoke have been linked to respiratory and heart diseases. All landfills in the Regional District will accept, free of charge up to 500 kg clean natural Christmas Trees free of tinsel, fake snow, ornaments and lights.
The trees will be chipped and given new life as animal
bedding or compost. The Campbell Mountain
Landfill, Oliver and Keremeos Landfills can accept lighting equipment free of charge.
If you have any questions, please contact the RDOS Solid Waste Department at 250-490-4129, toll free 1-877-610-3737 ext. 4129, e-mail [email protected] or visit www.rdos.bc.ca.

Bush looks back, forward for Area B residents First of all I would like to thank
the Area B residents for their sup-port over the last three years. The two things I have learned in my first term is that I can not please every-one and that everything I say, can and will be used against me.
There are many activities and meetings that I attended dur-ing the year such as, Starling Control, Sterile Insect Release, Community to Community forums, Rec Commission, Kobau Park Commission, Victoria Day Parade, the Vineglass Cure for Cancer and many more that I am forgetting to mention.
Also every month we have meetings with the Similkameen Valley Planning Society, which we are working on the Similkameen water shed study and tourism for the Similkameen Valley. This year at RDOS we have expanded the Mosquito program to include all of Area B. Yes, we still have mosqui-toes but hopefully we have less and a shorter season.
I attended two conferences, SILGA in Penticton and UBCM in Whistler.
SILGA is the Southern Interior Local Government Association which represents concerns of a larger area to provincial and federal government.
The UBCM is the Union of BC Municipalities which represents all of BC’s municipalities and regional districts to the provincial govern-ment.
I attended the UBCM confer-ence this year to represent our Community Forest issues, Camping in the Similkameen river bed area, Highway 3 Corridor, the continua-tion of the Grist Mill Heritage site, and the National Park talks. We talked with the cabinet ministers about expanding the Community Forest area. This will lead to ongo-ing discussions in hopes to obtain more timber. We also talked with a deputy minister about people camp-ing in the river bed grounds within the banks of the Similkameen River
of which we all agree that this is not a good thing but no one so far has any answers on how to prevent it from happening.
I also attended a meeting with the ministers and mayors from the
Highway 3 Corridor. The provincial government has been doing a lot of work and advised us that they are committed to continue the ongoing upgrades to improve Highway 3. We all lobbied the cabinet minis-
ters for the continued support for our Heritage Grist Mill. This will be an ongoing struggle as it seems that the provincial government is determined to download financial support to local governments and private business.
The Town of Osoyoos put for-ward a resolution to endorse the National Park talks. This resolution unfortunately was pushed through at the end of the last day and I was not allowed to speak on it.
I have also attended four work-shops with FortisBC Natural Gas regarding the extension of services. Presently there is a means test on qualifying for natural gas which determines how much it would cost to hook up to gas. FortisBC would like these tests to be changed so that more communities, neighbour-hoods and individuals could access Natural Gas at more reasonable costs. This is something that the BC Utility Commission would have to change.
December has been a busy
month starting with the Light Up Parade in Keremeos. It was really great to see such a good turnout and support from the local residents. Then I was off to Vancouver to the last FortisBC workshop where I was able to agree with a recom-mendation to change the means test to make Natural Gas more attainable for residents who don’t have gas now. Then in the last two weeks our Regional District has held three full days of meetings of Inauguration, Orientation, and Budgets. I also had the pleasure of attending the Heritage Harvest Supper at the Grist Mill, lunch with our MLA Linda Larson and the Cawston Players Play which was one of my highlights of the year. I can’t say enough about how much Judy and I enjoyed the play again this year. I would like to personally thank all those involved in putting on such great local entertainment.
And to all I would like to wish you a Happy New Year.
George Bush, RDOS director Area B

The Review Thursday, December 25, 2014 www.keremeosreview.com A11ENTERTAINMENT
CAPRICORN: This week some people close to you need a little space. Honor their requests and show them some respect, Capricorn. Your relationships will weather the time apart.
AQUARIUS: Aquarius, things are bound to move quickly once you put a plan in motion. Get all of your ducks in a row to make a smooth transition. You may have to do some homework.
PISCES: You can probably have fun in any situation this week, Pisces. Your youthful exuberance will keep you busy and laughing.
ARIES: Aries, you feel amazing this week. Your enthusiasm can be quite contagious, and many friends may come calling in the hopes that your good vibes rub off.
TAURUS: You may have difficulty solving a difficult problem at work this week, Taurus. Take a methodical approach, and the solution will come to you before you know it.
GEMINI: Things may not have been going your way, Gemini, but there is still no reason for disappointment. You will find a way to bounce back from these setbacks in a few days.
CANCER: Cancer, your presence alone is enough to impress people this week. Focus all of your energy on positive things, and you will accomplish quite a bit before the week is over.
LEO: Leo, now is a good time to assess your health goals and make a few plans for the new year. It’s within reason to change your diet or start a new exercise regimen..
VIRGO: Incredible efficiency this week has you zipping through your to-do list, Virgo. Enjoy some relaxation time once you have completed all your projects.
LIBRA: Work and family issues are on your mind, Libra. Find ways to balance work and family as best as you possibly can. Don’t be hard on yourself if you cannot manage everything.
SCORPIO: Scorpio, this week is a great time to complete projects that have been on your plate for quite some time. All you really need to do is set your mind on them.
SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, you may feel rushed by external pressures, but it’s really up to you to set your own pace. If you keep a calm head, things will fall in place and you can complete your tasks.
