Former Keremeos firefighter returns as trainer Former volunteer Ben Dirksen turned firefighting into a career, returning to the community last weekend to conduct a training session By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Ben Dirksen paid a visit to the village on the weekend. While that event was not particularly noteworthy in itself, the purpose of Dirksen’s visit was. The former Keremeos volunteer firefighter was in the community to teach a two day course on pumps and pumping to the village’s present firefighters, January 18 and 19. Dirksen has come a long way from his career beginnings as a volunteer in the community. His exposure to firefighting in this community is what ignited an interest to what eventully would became a career for the 1990 graduate of Similkameen Elementary Secondary School. “I grew up here, and my parents still live in Keremeos,” he explained, following his arrival on Friday evening, January 17. “I always had an interest in the fire department here. While in school I played football in Penticton, and my coach was Dennis Noble, who was a firefighter in Penticton. I always found the job interesting.” After graduating, Dirksen moved
to NewWestminster, returning to Keremeos to work as a lifeguard at the pool. During that summer, he signed on with the Keremeos department. “That was before the department’s high school recruitment program,” Dirksen noted, “I was 18 years old - the youngest recruit to be hired here at the time. “It was a great experience for me - I knew after that summer this was the route I wanted to go.” He returned to the coast with no deidea how to get on a full time partment, but after calling the local New Westminster hall, he was told that applicants with a trade were given extra consideration. Dirksen had two years of college, and decided to go into the construction trades, apprenticing as a carpenter. He returned to college for one more year, and soon after found a position as a paid on-call member with a Surrey firehouse. In 1994, he transferred to a paid on-call position at Guildford station number four, where he became a full time firefighter a year later. Dirksen is now in his 18th year, nowadays working out of Hall 17 in the Morgan Creek area. He has also been moving up the ranks through the years, currently enrolled in an officers course. “I enjoy it,” he said of his career in firefighting, “especially driving and pumping.” He’s been a ladder truck operator for the past three years. Dirksen and several members of the KVFD spent the weekend on a Pumps and Pumping course, a train-
ing session module taught by Dirksen through the Justice Institute of BC. “It’s two days related to everything a firefighter needs to know about pumps and pumping - from the mechanical workings of pumps to hydraulic calculations to practical situations. We even discuss the evolution of fire hose with respect to pumping.” Declining numbers of volunteers is an issue faced by all departments, Dirksen noted. “Speaking for myself, it may be more of a problem in smaller departments because, especially as a younger man, those departments don’t offer as much in the way of employment opportunities,” he said. Dirksen noted that in some departments, such as one in Saltspring and another in Point Roberts, the volunteer departments offer live in recruits an opportunity to gain experience for their resumè by living in, and being available to the community all weekend. “If a community had some basic live in facilities in their hall, it probably wouldn’t cost a great deal more,” he said, “the community’s on call members get a bit of a break on the weekends and the young recruits gain needed experience to add to their resumès.” Dirksen said the Surrey department currently has 300 full time firefighters, with 12 new hires each year. Surrey also has 100 volunteers and 50 support staff working out of 17 firehalls, two of which are all volunteer, and two of which are composite (full time and volunteer staff).
Haiku contest celebrates Literacy Week in the Similkameen Contributed A Haiku writing contest with prizes is presented by Similkameen Family Literacy in celebration of Canada Literacy Week, January 27 to February 1. Entry forms for the Haiku writing contest are at the Keremeos Library. The Japanese have delighted in this art form. In English he Haiku
form usually aims at three lines in five beats, then seven beats and then five beats as follows: The leaves of Autumn lovely gold and brown colors painting the landscape The haiku seeks to capture the qualities of experiencing the natural world uncluttered by “ideas”, what some call the “ah” moment. In a haiki it is the moment the poet finds something surprising. A traditional haiku is not cute
or clever. Today some popular haikus have clowning and humour. Though not true to the classic Haiku form these are an enjoyable exercise. Some contest entrants could win with a just for fun haiku. The winning haikus and some honorable mentions will be published and available at the Keremeos library after February 4. Contest ends Saturday February 1, and winners will be announced Tuesday, February 4.

Editorial Aging infrastructure could present a taxpayers dilemma Keremeos’ outdoor municipal staff were reminded last week that even this small communitiy is not immune to a problem plaguing municipalities across Canada. That reminder came after village contractor Suck it Up replaced a failing sewage pipe at the Sixth Street sewage pump station. The pipe in question failed prematurely, but the failure was a reminder that at least a portion of the village’s buried infrastructure - sewage and water lines, mainly - are rapidly approaching the end of their service life, if they haven’t already. The village noted in its 2013 Public Works Report to council on January 20 that two deteriorated water service connections were replaced on Sixth Avenue in 2013. The report also stated that the village currently has engineers preparing a quote to replace deteriorating water mains in the downtown core. Even with grant funding from higher levels of government, it appears to us that there will be an growing need for increased taxation to pay for repairs and rebuilds as local infrastructure continues to age, making it more important than ever for taxpayers to involve themselves in the budget process. Government is involved in many aspects of our lives these days; some of the services they provide are essential, others not so much so. The time may be approaching where we will have to be much more selective in what we ask local governments to provide, as we are increasingly tasked with the prospect of rebuilding existing infrastructure at the same time we expand, extend and improve existing systems.

Wicked Wednesdays seem to be proving popular at the South Okanagan events centre By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com My wife and I attended a “Wicked Wednesday” evening at the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton last week. W i c k e d We d n e s d ay i s a p ro m o t i o n bu i l t a ro u n d a m i d week Penticton Vees game, where a raffle for a used car is held in conjunction with the game. A limited number of tickets are sold, making the odds of winning quite reasonable, at least when compared to those of, say Lotto Max. Another selling point of the promo are cheap ticket prices - $5 - and beer, at $2.50. What’s not to like? There is something for everyone, it amounts
t o a l ow c o s t n i g h t away f ro m t h e f a m ily television (where nothing is on anyway) and it gets people out in support of the local hockey team. It seemed to be working, judging by t h e c rowd s o n b o t h evenings, which I believe were in excess of 2,000. I even ran into an acquaintance I hadn’t seen in seven years. Holy cow, had he ever aged. In our case, I always enjoy going to watch the Vees, but seldom make the effort on my own. My wife appreciates the draw opportunities offered by the promos, s o s h e p rov i d e s t h e impetus to get us both to the SOEC. It’s winwin-win for everyone involved.
It wasn’t our first time to this mid week promotion. We went to our first one last year, but as novices, lost out on our chance to win a 2001 Aztec. After finding our s e at s a n d o u r $ 2 . 5 0 beer, we made the beg i n n e r ’s m i s t a ke o f waiting until the first period intermission to buy a ticket on the vehicle. At first, I couldn’t find the sales area for t h e t i c ke t s - i t wa s located in the Hockey Hall of Fame area nor did I realize how busy the ticket sellers were. Finally, I didn’t realize at the time that the tickets were limited. I was third from the front of the line when ticket sales were declared over. Bad timing.

“That would have been my car,” my wife said as we watched the Aztec being presented to the eventual winner. S h e wa s p ro b ably right. Still it was a good night out, with an e n t e r t a i n i n g h o c ke y game to boot. We were better educated upon attending last week’s version of the event, where a 2001 Ford Taurus was up for grabs. We got our tickets b e fo re f i n d i n g o u t seats, waiting until the first period intermission to purchase some 50 /50 tickets. It still wasn’t our night, as someone else took home both prizes, and to top it off, the Vees lost. But hey, there’s always next time.

Todd just recently returned from Tignes, France, where Canadian freestylers competed in Olympic qualifying events in a pre-Olympics camp. Todd is optimistic about Canadian skiers’ prospects for the 2014 Olympics. “We’ve got a very strong team,” she said, noting that the official team roster was just named this past weekend. International Olympic Committee rules limits the number of athletes that Canada can send to Sochi to 26, in all five freestyle disciplines. This year, because Canada’s freestyle team is so talented, there is the possibility that a top 10 ranked Canadian skier might not get a chance to compete at Sochi. Although the very best Canadian freestyle athletes - Nikael Kingsbury and Alex Bilodeau, to name two - have essentially prequalified based on last season’s results, the remaining spots on the team will be up for grabs until the eleventh hour. Photos contributed “It’s going to be a hard team to get on,” she added, “we could be fielding the best freestyle team in the world this year.” Todd doesn’t have any favourites in terms Marnie Todd (centre) with members of the Canadian Freestyle Ski of who to watch for, but halfpiper Matt Integrated Support Staff Medical Team at the Sochi countdown clock Margetts (Penticton) will be a local entry to in February last year.

Greed at the heart of economic decision making To the Editor: I totally resent the reasoning spouted in Gwyn Morgan’s column submitted to local newspaper “Canada’s prosperity at risk from eviro zealots”. Maybe Gwyn just had a bad day at the keys but implying that zealots opposed against the Northern Gateway Pipeline are fanatics is out of tune with the times. When a person reaches a certain age it’s likely they won’t be around to witness horror and devastation that will happen when their pipelines and ships transporting the
greed of a few put another nail in mother nature’s coffin! I remind the greedy about the absence of fish from overfishing on the East Coast due to the greed of man and the B.P. oil spill and all those leaks of late that help screw up the world we zealots have to live in with you B... When was it you could actually see a logging truck transporting real logs instead of toothpick material ? One log in the past could fill the bunkers of the most modern truck on the highway today. continued on page 10

Similkameen Minor Baseball making a pitch for teams in Penticton league Contributed
Kobau Park in Cawston will once again be home to competitive baseball for young Similkameen ball players. A group of local coaches have been working towards forming minor baseball teams to join the Penticton Minor Baseball League. “We have been in discussion with the Penticton Minor Baseball Executive and they have been very receptive to us fielding teams to join their spring league.” said Marc Lepage who is currently on the board of directors with Similkameen minor sports association. “Our goal is to put together teams made up of local kids so that we can practice at Kobau Park in Cawston but play games in Penticton against other teams in that league. Of course, we would host games here too!” One of the diamonds at Kobau Park is being transformed into a proper baseball diamond complete with a pitching mound. Baseball has been offered here in the Similkameen through Similkameen Minor Sports Association (S.M.S.A), but after the age of 11 the local program stops, leaving kids without further opportunity to play. Last year, coaches took the initiative to invite kids out to play baseball and 24 kids participated. The team played a couple of exhibition games but were unable to play against other teams in Okanagan leagues. It was clear to the coaches that in order to maintain interest in baseball and give the kids a chance to compete, the team needed to join a league. “Our hope is that the kids have fun while learning the game of baseball” states John Weber, one of the coaches involved. “This is a great opportunity for kids to play on a team and we are excited about the upcoming season. We are currently running a free winter baseball program at the high school. The kids show a lot of potential and it’s been fun.” Coaches are looking for kids to register now as deadlines for joining the Penticton Minor Baseball League are upcoming.

I for one zealot have said it once and I’ll say it again- once Canadian resources are gone - they are gone forever ! My question I direct to the greedy deserves a simple answer!

Why is it that oil is so badly needed overseas when all we hear of late is talk from Premier Christy Clark about cleansing the skies over China with all that fracking LNG which Christy claims a 150 year supply is available? To bad Christy - Tom - Gwyn and the entire world population of today won’t be around to prove the queen of broken hearts and province wrong. What the greedy apparently
don’t care to consider is that the future will affect their own children and theirs and that is a big difference between a zealot and and the greedy whom continually search for the almighty buck. People Gwyn Morgan describes as zealots care about the tomorrows - children and planet earth - so stick that in your loaded pipeline - light a match and smoke it! Tom Isherwood, Olalla

Proposal to bylaw change causes consternation on council By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview. com Keremeos village council had little on the agenda at the regular meeting on January 6, but the introduction of a new bylaw re-
sulted in some spirited discussion between council and members of the gallery. Village staff presented a proposal for a “good neighbour bylaw” for council’s consideration.
The proposal’s intent was to incorporated property maintenance, nuisance, noise, firearms, littering and health regulations into a single bylaw, in an effort to consolidate and streamline a number
of bylaws already on village books. The new bylaw was also intended to provide further assistance to enforcement authorities for certain activities. All four councillors,
including three members of the public in the gallery expressed similar concerns over the document. “Too onerous,” said Councillor Arlow, while Councillor Thielmann called the
changes in the bylaw “harsh and draconian.” Councillor Cowling echoed the comments of the others, while Councillor Evans felt the potential was great for abuse of the bylaw.
“It needs softening,” he told council. Chief Administrative Officer Laurie Taylor defended the changes, noting that much of what was continued on page 13

The main objective behind introduction of the good neighbour bylaw was to “consolidate and improve existing bylaws.” Council discussed the possibility of a more in depth discussion of the bylaw at a later date, noting time constraints at the regular meeting, but Taylor advised council to refer the document back to staff to let them “soften” the document. Those in the gallery were equally critical of the proposed changes. “It may be 2014, but this reminds me of 1984,” said one resident, making reference to the George Orwell novel about perpetual government surveillance and interference. “The feds dump on the province, the province dumps on the municipalities, and the municipalities dump on the taxpayer, he continued, “taxes in the village are not going down, yet the taxpayer is expected to look after more.” The
resident referenced a couple of passages in the bylaw, one dealing with snow removal that specified property owners not dump snow on village or highways property, a regulation that would be difficult to obey in the downtown core. “Tone it down,” advised the resident. A second member of the gallery expressed his view that the document “wasn’t user friendly.” “There are some very dumb phrases and definitions in there, he said, “You’ve put the onus on us for everything past the property line, just because you don’t want to do anything anymore.” He noted the document’s definition of a derelict vehicle would include seasonal vehicles without plates and construction vehicles that are normally unplated. “We hear you loud and clear,” expressed Mayor Manfred Bauer, after council made the decision to refer the document back to staff for revision. He also noted that without clear, well defined bylaws, the village would have a difficult time regulating and control-
ling disprespectful behaviour during summer months when the village deals with a large number of transients.

Keremeos man charged Mike Manchau of Keremeos was charged with 11 counts of fraud and property crime following the results of a coordinated effort between Keremeos RCMP, Penticton RCMP and the Oliver Serious Crime Unit. The charges stem from a multitude of property crime in the Similkameen and South Okanagan regions over the past two months. Minchau was recently released from custody on $4,000 bail, but is required to make another court appearance near the end of January.

OVERWEIGHT PETS - It’s not just a human problem! By Linda Buhler, Oliver, BC Being overweight is not just a human problem. Pets are very often treated like young children, particularly when it comes to what they are fed. We tend to ‘reward’ our children with desert or some other treat if they finish the rest of their meal, and I must admit that I am as guilty as the person next door when it comes to offering treats for good behavior. A similar thing happens with our pets. We generally think giving them treats is a nice thing to do. After all it doesn’t get much better than watching the joy it brings, and quickly endures us to the child or pet. However, moderation is the key, because if it’s over done, we may be doing more harm than good in the long run. Just like us, pets that are overweight are at a much higher risk of developing a number of health conditions. Problems like arthritis, heart disease, respiratory difficulties and diabetes are among the long list of issues seen in cats and dogs who weigh more than they should. Unfortunately, unlike humans, obesity in pets is often not taken very seriously. While pet owners are diligent about getting their animals spayed, neutered and vaccinated every year, they often brush aside any comments made about their pet’s weight. The reality is that being in control of your animals weight may be one of the best ways to promote their health and maximize the years you have together. The best way to maintain a healthy weight for your pet is to feed them an appropriate diet that is adjusted to their specific calorie requirements. This is something your veterinarian or health practitioner can help you to determine. Excess weight is almost always due to an animal eating too much, exercising too little, or both. However it is always important to rule out any other medical issues that can cause weight gain. In addition to reducing the calories your animal eats, it’s a good idea to increase the calories they burn by giving them exercise. Of course, if your animal is severely overweight, there may be limitations to how much they can run and play. It’s a good idea to start off slowly if your animal has been sedentary or is overweight. It is also important to re-evaluate and modify their weight loss program. It may sound like a lot of work, but once you get into this healthy routine, you and your pet will reap the rewards. Once your pet is back down to a healthy weight, make sure you keep up the good work as your pet will be healthier, happier and more energetic. As an added bonus, you might find yourself in better shape. Linda’s Bio: Colour Me Healthy, Alternative Health Pet Care, Box 1154 Oliver B.C.

As our population ages, it’s quite possible you may see someone having a stroke. Since quick treatment is important to minimize long term trauma, it’s important to recognize if a stroke is occurring. Ask three questions: 1) Can you raise your arms and keep them up? 2) Can you smile? 3) Can you speak a simple sentence? If a person has trouble doing any of these tasks, call 911 right away.
CONSTIPATION Constipation can sometimes be caused by medications. Examples of these medications include iron supplements, narcotics, some blood pressure drugs and antidepressants, antacids and many others. Ask our pharmacists if any of your medications can cause constipation.
ANTICOAGULANT DRUGS The term “blood thinners” is used to describe anticoagulant drugs like warfarin. The drug doesn’t actually thin the blood. It works by slowing down the clotting mechanism in the blood so there is less danger of the formation of dangerous blood clots. Anticoagulant drugs are life-saving drugs and our pharmacists will help you understand this drug and answer any question you may have about it.
