At right, Jesse Little, Isaac Douglas, Mar-lee Winser and Mia Holmes were part of Cawston Primary’s Kindergarten class participating in an afternoon at Kere-meos pool on Mon-day, June 9. The pool has seen steady use from Si-milkameen students since it opened at the beginning of the month, wi th mostly sunny skies and comfor table temperatures in the morning often giv-ing way to cloudy af-ternoons. See page 10 for more photos of the Kindergarten students’ day at the pool.

Cell service between Hed-ley and Keremeos is now available with the activation of the recently installed cell tower near the Portage Youth Facility, eight kilometres west of Keremeos.

The cell tower was erected last year, as part of a strategic partnership with the province

to build a wireless site serving Highway 3 between Hedley and Keremeos.

The new site provides coverage to about 13 kilome-tres of Highway 3, and builds upon the $675,000 invest-ment announced by Telus in May to bring wireless service to 14 kilometres of High-way 3A from Keremeos to Kaleden.

Highway 3 between Princ-eton and Keremeos now

has roughly 50 percent cell coverage, said Telus media spokesperson Shawn Hall. He said the company has plans for further cellular tower sites along Highway 3.

“We are actively looking for site property,” Hall said, “but it takes time.” Hall noted that there were “A few dead spots,” between Keremeos and Penticton the company was working to resolve.

“We know how important

cellular coverage is on the highway,” Hall said, noting that 60 per cent of all 911 calls are now made on cell phones.

The project is part of the 10-year Connecting British Columbia Agreement signed with the Province of B.C. in 2011.Under the terms of the agreement Telus will invest to connect more than 1,700 kilo-metres of unconnected high-ways with wireless service.

Keremeos and District Volunteer firefighters attack a fire in the roof of Tom and Arla Owen’s garage on Ritchie Drive in Cawston on June 3. The blaze is believed to have started after be-ing struck by lightning.The fire was confined to a guest room at-tached to the end of the garage.

Lightning sparks garage fireA sudden storm brought heavy

rain, thunder and lightning to the Lower Similkameen Tuesday after-noon, June 3.

Lightning is also being blamed for a mid afternoon garage fire on Ritchie Drive in Cawston.

“I was out working in the yard when I heard a noise like a gun go-ing off,” said property owner Tom

Owen.“I didn’t think much about it, but

when I looked around the garage a couple of minutes later, there was smoke coming out of it.”

Owen had trouble contacting emergency services, as landlines in Cawston had also been affected by the storm. He managed to get the call out with his cell, then grabbed a nearby garden hose in an attempt to quench the fire.

Keremeos and District Volunteer firefighters were on scene within

minutes to find smoke emanating from the rear of the garage. Owen’s efforts slowed the fire down suffi-ciently to allow KDVFD firefighters to quickly gain the upper hand in containing the blaze.

The storm pounded Keremeos for nearly a half hour with heavy rain. Cawston residents reported numerous nearby lightning strikes.

Tuesday’s storm occurred little more than a week after an early sea-son hailstorm damaged a number of crops in the Cawston area.



The effects of a May 26 hail storm were felt primar-ily in the Cawston and Oliver areas, the Ministry of Agriculture reported last week.

Apples, pears, apricots, prunes and plums were the fruits most affected by the storm. The agency noted that the Oliver production insurance office had received 118 Notices of Loss for damage from the storm.

The extent of the damage is still being determined, in both the Similkameen and Okanagan valleys, with some growers reporting significant losses.

The ministry has developed and distributed a guide to tree fruit growers that specifically outlines hail insur-ance coverage and the different options for them to consider when selecting the best coverage for their risk management plans. http://www.agf.gov.bc.ca/produc-tion_insurance/plans/treefruit/tf_hail_guide.pdf

More information about hail insurance is posted at http://www.newsroom.gov.bc.ca/ministries/agriculture/factsheets/factsheet-hail-damage.html

Several Cawston orchardists were affected by the May hailstorm, with varying amounts of crop damage reported from Cawston south to the U.S. border.

Okanagan Foster Parents Asso-ciation are appealing to the public for qualified foster homes as short-ages are being felt in the area.

Area residents are urged to come to one of the association’s weekly information sessions.

Foster families open their homes and their hearts to children of all ages.

Children come into their homes needing a safe place, to be cared for and accepted for who they are. Some children stay a few days, while others may stay longer. Some children are even adopted by their foster family and others remain in close contact even after they return home. They care for children with a

wide array of behaviors and chal-lenges. They work as part of a team of professionals centered on the child and their needs.

Homes and families are thor-oughly screened and education is provided before placement.

Information sessions are held on Wednesday’s at the MCFD resource of-fice #104-1873 Main St. in Penticton.

news

Students from grades eight to 12 staged a walkout at Similkameen Elementary Secondary School on June 4. The students were concerned they might lose their school year if both sides don’t return to the bargaining table immediately. From left to right are:Colton Lagace, Jeremy Carrigan, Nick Deyaeger, Reiley Terbasket, Chelsea Banman, Haley Kaufman, Aucencia Reyna and Tyler Ross.

Students in fear of losing their school year staged a picket line across the street from Similkameen Elementary Secondary School on Wednesday, June 4.

Between 12 and 15 students participated in the protest, covering grades eight to 12.

“We want to get both parites back to the bargaining table,” said Haley Kaufman. “We’ve had our extra-cirricular activities cut, grad has been cancelled, and teachers can’t help us outside the class-room.”

“We’re afraid our exams will

be cancelled,” said fellow student Reiley Terbasket, “we’ve had our sports banquet cancelled, and students who need extra help before the exams can’t get it.”

The students were determined to stage their protest for the complete school day.

The school issued a notice to parents earlier in the week in order to make them aware that walkout activities planned by the students would not be sanctioned or super-vised by the school. The school also attempted to dissuade students from participating in the picket.

Principal Cate Turner said that meetings were taking place to make arrangements for grad ceremonies.

She said it would be the province’s decision whether or not provincial final exams would take place. She noted there were still opportunities for students to get extra help within the present reduced hour school day.

“The athletic banquet has been cancelled,” she said, “but we are planning to incorporate the athletic banquet into the academic awards ceremony.” Turner said the decision to roll the two events into one was made because staff coaches would be unable to attend the event while community coaches would, creat-ing an awkward situation for those athletes without coaches.

Students stage their own protest over job action

On Wednesday, June 4, the B.C. Labour Relations Board upheld an employer bid to cut teacher pay by 10 per cent in response to rotating strikes and refusal to perform some duties outside classroom hours.

B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker said Wednesday the pay cut and partial lockout of members is “a punitive action” that is unfair to teachers per-forming their essential classroom duties.

In response, the BCTF will hold another vote June 9-10 to authorize full-scale strike action. Rotating strikes are to continue next week while the strike vote is held and counted.

“If approved, this would likely mean a full-scale strike within the next two weeks,” Iker said Wednesday.

School District 53 announced Thursday, June 5 that the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation had an-nounced that rotating strikes throughout the province will be extended to the week of June 9.

In School District No. 53 (Okanagan Similkameen) BCTF members will be withdrawing full services on Friday, June 13, for one day. This will be the third day of lost classes at Similkameen Elementary Secondary and Cawston Primary Schools.

The school board noted that while school facili-ties will remain open under the supervision of school administrators, the board will be unable to provide students with instruction or appropriate supervision during this full strike. They request that parents keep their children home on Friday, June 13. No bus service has been scheduled for Friday.

The board also advised early learning programs and evening programs that utilize school facilities may be disrupted due to picket lines. Parents should contact the program provider for confirmation.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender also promised on Thursday, June 5, that even if B.C. teachers walk out before they are locked out for the final days of the school year, final exams will be delivered and marked for graduating students.

Fassbender said the logistics of delivering and mark-ing tests in a strike have not yet been worked out, but he committed the government to make sure they are completed.

The latest BCTF wage proposal is a total increase of 9.75 per cent over four years, plus cost-of-living adjust-ments in each year depending on inflation. The BCTF has estimated that with inflation, the total increase would be 12.75 per cent.

The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, representing the province’s 60 school districts, has pro-posed a 7.5 per cent wage increase over six years, and recently added a $1,200 signing bonus for an agreement by the end of the school year.

news

A mix of hot, dry weather interspersed with un-settled, wetter conditions throughout the Similka-meen valley led to rapid mid-elevation snow pack levels throughout the valley.

Temperatures through May were generally 1-3°C above normal in the Lower Similkameen, in conjunction with conditions that were drier than normal.

Snow basin indices for June 1 indicated above-normal levels in the Okanagan (123 per cent of nor-mal) and Similkameen (167 per cent of normal). These indices are based on high elevation sites, as the mid elevations snow is now gone in both water-sheds. However, the high level indices are re� ective of snow conditions in only a small portion of their watershed area. Stream � ow in the Similkameen was above average through May, and with the di-minished snow pack at mid levels, the seasonal risk for � ooding in the Similkameen has decreased.

“The two or more short, three day warm spells we had in May were well timed,” said Dave Camp-bell of the BC Rivers Forecast Centre.

“The high per centage of remain-ing high level snow pack is not necessarily a re� ection of � ood risk in the Similka-meen at this point.” Campbell said the river has now dropped to normal to below normal � ow rates for this time of year.

“It would take an unusual rain event to occur at this point to bring the � ood risk back up at this point,” he said.

Seasonal forecasts from Environment Canada continue to indicate an increased likelihood of above normal temperatures across British Colum-bia, particularly through south and southwest parts

of the province.The transient farmworkers and others who have

been frequenting the former Farmworkers Camp-ground area east of Keremeos have resettled in the river � ats after spending the latter part of May on the village side of the dike. The Similkameen River is back within its banks after encroaching on the campground area in May.

Flood threat on the Similkameen greatly diminished



The Of� ce of the Columbia River, out of Washington State, is show-ing signs of interest in Fortis Inc.’s proposed Similkameen dam.

Joye Red� eld - Wilder, Commu-nications Manager for Washington Department of Ecology in Yakima, Washington, said the Columbia Riv-er Policy Advisory group, which vets possible capital projects to enhance water supplies on the Columbia River system to the state legislature, recently listed the Fortis project as a possible water source for in and out of stream bene� ts.

The advisory group is proposing a feasibility study, at a cost estimated at 1.6 million dollars which would look at the possiblity of utilizing the dam to provide more water for new and exisiting water rights, as well as providing more water for instream � ow south of the border.

Red� eld - Wilder said the states of Washington and Oregon are interested in the potential for obtain-ing additional water from Canada for both instream and out of stream bene� ts from the Columbia River

“The state of Washington’s Of� ce of Columbia River has been charged by the legislature to develop new wa-

ter supplies for the Columbia Basin. The Fortis, B.C. project proposed on the Similkameen River in Canada provides an opportunity to join studies associated with the feasibility for a new dam and the potential of some 154,000 acre-feet of water for the United States,” Red� eld -Wilder said in an email to the Review.

Derek Sandison,of the Washing-ton State Department of Ecology, said, “It is one of the projects on our preliminary 2015-2017 capital budget project list. As is our usual practice, we present the preliminary project list to our Columbia River Policy Advisory Group about three months prior to development of our actual project list to allow that group time for review and comment. Once the list is � nalized, it is then provid-ed to our governor’s of� ce for formal consideration. If the governor con-curs with our proposed list, it is then forwarded to the state legislature for their consideration. Funding for projects on the list require appro-priation by the state legislature.”

Sandison said the study proposal was brought to his organization by Fortis B.C.

“They said they were contemplat-ing construction of a hydroelectric dam on an arm of a Columbia River tributary (Similkameen River) in

British Columbia and were interest-ed in developing a contract with us for scheduled releases of some of the water stored behind the dam. The timing of the releases would coincide with when water would be needed in Washington State for instream � ow and various out-of-stream uses. The term of the contract would be 50 years. We indicated to Fortis B.C. that we could not commit to such a contract, nor request our state legislature to fund such a contract, without conducting a feasibility study of the proposal.”

If the state leg-islature approves the request and a feasibility study proves favourable, further negotiation would likely be necessary to determine the actual fees the two states would eventu-ally pay for timed water releases.

EditorialIs control of river to be

based on “pay to play” basis? Regional District Okanagan Similkameen’s

Area “H” Director Brad Hope told the regional district board of directors last week of a new devel-opment in Fortis’ Similkameen Dam proposal.

Fortis officials told the board at a previous meet-ing that the project was not presently economically feasible, based solely on the profits derived from hydro generation.

In order to enhance the economic viability of the proposal Fortis was looking south to Washington and Oregon states to find a stakeholder who would be willing to support the project financially.

It appears that Fortis may potentially have found a partner in the form of the Office of the Columbia River, whose advisory board recently listed a feasibiltiy study regarding the dam in their 2015-2017 compilation of capital projects.

The Fortis B.C. Storage Facility Study has been budgeted by the OCR at 1.2 million dollars, its purpose being to “evaluate a proposed hydropower and water supply, surface storage facility on the Similkameen River. Shared cost and water supply for Washington and Oregon.”

The outcome of this study, if favourable to the OCR, might be something residents of the Similka-meen should be concerned about, especially if it concerns water flow rights and the ability to control when certain volumes of water are released from the dam.

One of Fortis’ selling points in their recent presentations to local government has been down-stream flow and flood control benefits. If American interests are being courted for a financial contri-bution to the dam in exchange for control of the floodgates, it would appear at this point that local interests would be given secondary consideration at best.

Without a guarantee of first rights for local control, is the dam a good deal for the residents of the Lower Similkameen?

For residents considering the benefits of having a dam built in one’s backyard,we think it’s an impor-tant consideration.

The province has struck a tentative deal with 34,000 school support staff on the eve of B.C. teachers’ vote on staging a full-scale strike.

The five-year agree-ment reached Saturday provides wage in-creases totaling 5.5 per cent, with potential for more tied to the per-formance of the B.C. economy – in line with the standard settle-ments reached with other public sector unions.

It covers educa-tion assistants, school secretaries, caretakers, bus drivers and other education support staff, mostly represent-

ed by the Canadian Union of Public Em-ployees.

The union and provincial negotiators with the B.C. Public School Employers As-sociation hammered the deal out in just five days following the start of talks last Tuesday.

“This success pro-vides ample evidence that the bargaining system works — when the parties come to the table with reason-able expectations and a flexible, solution-oriented approach,” said BCPSEA public administrator Michael Marchbank said.

“We built some mo-mentum very quickly,” CUPE B.C. spokesman Rob Hewitt said.

“The government came our direction enough to meet in the middle and we found a solution.”

He said the union also secured increased hours for education

assistants and stan-dardization gains to extended health ben-efit plans.

Asked if the tim-ing of talks amid the intensifying teachers dispute helped CUPE negotiators, Hewitt said only the teachers were not discussed at the table.

Also included is an Employee Support Grant covering any wages CUPE members lose by refusing to cross legal picket lines.

The union’s support for the B.C. Teachers Federation and teach-ers’ pursuit of long-term adequate funding for public education “hasn’t changed one iota,” CUPE B.C. president Mark Han-cock said.

“Just as the teach-ers have been at our side as our members have fought for public education, we continue to stand with them.”

The deal running through to the sum-

mer of 2019 must still be ratified by union members.

School support staff get further wage increases in the fi-nal four years of the agreement equivalent to half of any increase of provincial economic growth in excess of the budget’s forecast.

GDP growth of one per cent above the forecast in a given year would, for example, trigger a further 0.5 per cent pay hike.

Province cuts school support deal ahead of teachers strike voteTentative agree-ment gives CUPE staff 5.5 per cent over five years

The Review, Thursday, June 12, 2014—

letters / opinion

To the Editor:I am writing to respond to your editorial

“Park Debate is Not Over,” (May 29). This type of article is not helpful to the

national park discussion. Many of us never saw the article you are talking about. Why not print it, or at least summarize it, so we can form an informed and unbiased opin-ion about the article and your response?

You say that the article was written by “special interest groups” as if that is bad. Groups like our regional governments and First Nations are not special interest groups. They were elected to represent all of our citizens.

You say that people are going to be nega-tively impacted by the national park. Why not identify who these people are so that we can judge the accuracy of your statement?

You say that Parks Canada has had budget cuts so cannot afford this national park. When the provincial government gets budget cuts does that mean that they can-not govern B.C?

You say that there is “protection being

continuously added to the park area that is presently occurring.” What new protection are you talking about? There has been no new protection since 2001.

You say that you don’t want to see the area further developed. Then you should want to see the land fully protected, and not available for further development. More than half of the land in the proposed park area can be sold to developers today.

About a year ago, I walked around to talk to my neighbours who are organic farmers, nearly all of them signed a petition saying that they interested in seeing how a national park could enhance their busi-nesses while protecting land from further degradation.

Your editorial is not helpful to our un-derstanding of the benefits or dangers of a national park, which is an important issue to our communities. A thoughtful editorial based on accurate facts would help us all to be better informed.

Tim Birmingham, Cawston

Park editorial doesn’t help in understanding park debate

It’s that time of year again, when local gov-ernments across B.C. grit their teeth and post their annual statements of financial informa-tion for all and sundry. Depending upon your perspective, they’re either a veritable treasure trove of news stories or a minefield of PR disasters waiting to happen.

While many news reports will focus on municipal salaries, as they say about most things in life: “it’s all in the fine print.” And in financial statements much of that fine print is found in the notes and schedules.

It’s where ratepayers will learn that a fund-ing deficit of $1.37 billion emerged in B.C.’s Municipal Pension Plan at the end of 2012.

In a message to municipal employees, the chair of the trustees preferred to write that the plan was “96.5 per cent funded.” No need to cast a pall over summer with words like debt, underfunded, liability or deficit.

So it was undoubtedly with the purest of actuarial intentions, that the copy provided to local governments for use in their 2013 finan-cial reports referred to it as a “$1,370 million funding deficit.” However, even that wording seems to have led to some confusion.

Abbotsford, Fort St. John and other mu-nicipalities simply copied and pasted the boil-

erplate paragraph into their financial notes. No harm, no foul. Vancouver, on the other hand, chose to simplify the text and in doing so reduced the deficit to all of $1.37 million.

But it’s definitely one thousand, three hundred and seventy million dollars or to be succinct $1.37 billion. It’s why contribution rates are going up next month with an in-crease that works out to an additional 1.4 per cent of salary, split between local governments and municipal employees.

Another schedule to the financial state-ments provides ratepayers a chance to catch a glimpse of the state of labour relations at city hall.

In Abbotsford, there were six severance agreements reached with non-unionized em-ployees in 2013. Each received between two to 12 months of compensation.

Vancouver had six settlements as well, with between two to 13 months provided in each. West Vancouver kept it at two, but they were pricey – 19 months of compensation in one and 21 months in the other.

And thanks to a freedom of information request filed by the Nanaimo Daily News, ratepayers in that city can put a dollar figure on severance agreements for three former city administrators. They walked away with $648,000.

Sweet and sour grapes If you got a local issue you’d like to vent about, why not send us a Rotten, sour grape?

On the other hand, if you have a compliment, or would like to offer some praise, send us a Sweet, Similkameen grape?

We will publish your anonymous submission, as long as attacks on specific businesses and people are not made. Editor’s discretion will be exercised at all times.

Please send your submissions to:[email protected]

This year marks the 34th an-nual Terry Fox Run and Keremeos is seeking a motivated, compas-sionate volunteer run organizer to bring Terry’s legacy to your com-munity.

“It would be such a shame for the people of Keremeos to miss out on an opportunity to keep Terry’s legacy alive as every com-munity no matter how big or small can make a huge impact, just as Terry learned when a small town of 10,000 people raised over $10,000”, says Donna White, Pro-vincial Director for the Terry Fox Foundation British Columbia and Yukon. The run is an opportunity for people of a variety of back-

grounds and ages to come together and contribute to the $650 million already raised for cancer research worldwide, in Terry’s name.

The runs are a non-competitive, all-inclusive, family oriented activity where participants can run, walk, blade or bike. Registra-tion fee is by donation and there is no minimum pledge amount. Participants have the option to be recognized as a corporate team, individual participants, or even as a part of “Terry’s Team” of cancer survivors. Every participant is a special part of the cause, as living proof that cancer research saves lives.

The volunteer run organizer will recruit committee members, confirm the route, promote the run and oversee run day activities. The

time commitment ranges from two to four hours weekly during the months leading up to the National Run Day on Sunday, September 14. Whether as a couple or indi-vidual, the volunteer run organizer will be assisted by the Terry Fox Foundation in the planning pro-cess, and given the resources to make it a success.

We urge you to volunteer with a truly grassroots organization and assist Keremeos in joining us to work together outrun cancer.

For more information about The Terry Fox Foundation visit http://www.terryfox.org/

Although Humperdinck took to the stage last weekend for three shows (for complete reviews please visit http://www.facebook.com/OfficialEngelbertHump-erdinck) his management team wants to en-sure that Humperdinck completely recovers over the next few months. In light of this, his performance at the South Okanagan Events Centre has been cancelled

The concert cancellation has also af-fected the Review’s current contest to win tickets to Humperdinck’s performance, and as a result, the contest has been withdrawn.

The Review regrets any inconvenience caused by this unforseen turn of events.

“Meditation for Everyone” classes to return to Keremeos in a new summer series

Ron Shonk’s popular Meditation For Everyone classes will be offered locally again, beginning Sunday, July 6, from 10 a.m. to noon, and continu-ing through eight Tuesday evenings, July 10 through August 26, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. All sessions begin prompt-ly, at Saint John’s Parish Hall, Fifth Street at Sixth Avenue in Keremeos. In addition, for the first time, Ron will lead three additional “Sunday Morning Meditation” hours on the first and third Sundays of July and August (July 20, August 3 and 17), from 9 to 10 a.m.. There is no cost for the Sunday sessions. Donations are accepted but not required for the

Tuesday evening sessions.Classes are open to anyone age 14

and older, Ron describes his unique method of teaching as “experience- based, and not dogma-based”. Per-sons of any faith tradition or none are welcome, and will find his ap-proach adaptable – or, he says, “per-haps challenging, but not judgmen-tal” – to one’s own belief orientation. Newcomers to meditation as well as former and present meditators from any tradition are welcome. It is, as its title says, Meditation for everyone.

The first (July 6) session, “Learn to Meditate in 150 Minutes”, is founda-tional. Participants will leave with a clear experiential understanding of how to meditate. The eight weekly

Tuesday evening sessions will help to establish an ongoing meditative prac-tice, and will enrich and deepen the basic instruction. Past participants uniformly report these sessions as highly valuable and enjoyable.

The measurable benefits of medi-tation to one’s physical and emo-tional health have been clearly validated by medical research. “Meditation is good medi-cine.” The spiritual benefits of a daily meditation practice are profound beyond measure. Its practice is also enjoyable.

This may be Ron’s final offering of the course here in Keremeos, at least for a while, so sign up now and don’t miss

out on this free life-enhancing gift.Register by calling 250-499-4822,

providing your name and contact information. Encourage a friend or family members to join you. Please keep this announcement as a schedule reference.

Events Span Okanagan and Similkameen valleys during Invasive Species Week

June 9 – 15 is B.C.’s third annual

Invasive Species Week. This week-long event provides an opportunity for people all around the province to participate in local events and learn more about how to prevent the spread of invasive species.

In the Okanagan and Similkameen region, the impacts of invasive species have become an increasing concern for many organizations. The pro-grams and stewardship actions lead by the Okanagan and Similkameen Invasive Species Society (OASISS) are on the front lines of preventing the arrival of new species, slowing their

spread, and addressing the enormous collateral damage of invasive species.

“Protecting our region from the threat of invasive species is a top priority,” states local biologist Lisa Scott, who is also the Coordinator of OASISS. “Our society has focused on invasive plants for nearly two decades, but the scope of our efforts is expand-ing every year, to now include Zebra and Quagga Mussel, European Fire Ant, American Bullfrog and Eastern Gray Squirrel, just to name a few. We need the public’s engagement to ad-dress these biological invaders.”

Prevention of harmful new inva-sions is the first priority, as it is the most cost-effective way to deal with

the problem. Once species are estab-lished, the task becomes far more complex and costly. The issue of aquatic species and keeping invasive mussels out of B.C. continues to be hot topic this year and it’s the focus of an Okanagan-wide campaign this summer.

Locally, residents can participate in the week’s activities with this event on Friday, June 13:

1– 5 p.m. In Keremeos at Grower’s Supply, 813-5th Street. Bring your questions and samples to summer student, Matt. He will be on hand with information on escaped orna-mental plants and other troublesome weeds in the region.

Happy Father’s DayMan Gifts for the Man Cave

Enter to win

our Father’s

Day Draw!

How to make Father’s Day more enjoyable for DadDad gets to be king of his castle at least one day during the year. Come mid-June, children near and far scramble for ideas to treat their fathers to a special day and award him with gifts for being a role model, provider and confidante. Fa-ther’s Day activities should be centered around Dad’s interests. With that in mind, the following are some ideas to honor Dad or another special man in your life.

* Sports Sunday: If Dad is a sports fan, his idea of spending a fun-filled afternoon very well may be cheering on his favorite players. Whether your father enjoys golf, tennis, baseball, soccer, or another sport like hunting or fishing, chances are there is a television broadcast on that you can watch to-gether. Otherwise, you can surprise Dad by purchasing tickets to a sporting event and making a day of it at the ballpark.* Beach bound: A relaxing day at the beach may be the perfect way to spend Father’s Day. Dad can enjoy the entire family while sitting back in his beach chair and watching the waves roll in. Pack a picnic lunch with his favorite foods and a cold beer, and Dad may just say this was his best celebration yet.* Adventure seeker: If yours is a father who enjoys living on the edge, a Father’s Day activity built around action and adventure should be a winner. Take Dad base jumping, rock climbing, scuba diving, or race car driving. Any of these activities is bound to get Dad’s adrenaline pumping.* R&R: Dad’s idea of the perfect Father’s Day may be an afternoon free of obligations and deadlines. A relaxing day in the yard swimming laps in the pool or hitting a few grounders to your waiting baseball mitt may be all the

excitement he needs. Toss a few steaks on the grill to give Father’s Day a truly perfect ending.* Impromptu party: Some dads like to be the center of attention. A Father’s Day party thrown in his honor, complete with friends and family, can be an entertaining way to spend the day. If you are worried about interrupting others’ Father’s Day plans, host the gathering on the Saturday before Father’s Day and let Dad be the life of the party. Finger foods, barbecue, a limited list of cocktails and other beverages and some background music are all that you need to host a festive function.Plan a Father’s Day celebration with your dad in mind. Cater to his favorite activities and opt for entertainment that he will enjoy.

Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire Department has a number of new recruits that offer the department youthful versatility and an interest in learning. Above all, they enjoy the op-portunity that being a firefighter gives them to assist the community.

David SchwetjeDavid Schwetje is one of the Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire Department’s new-

est recruits, having started under the department’s unique student training program last September.

“My dad was on the department, and I always looked up to him for that,” Schwetje said. He is also committed to giving something back to the community.

“I hope I’ll be able to help people,” he said, “that’s my main reason for joining.”Schwetje said he enjoys practices, especially those involving vehicle extrication using

Jaws and other powerful hydraulic tools.“Taking apart a car is always fun,” he said.Schwetje said he found the firehall environment “a little intimidating at first” but found

things got friendly very quickly. He has already been on a call involving a fully involved structure, which he found adrenalin pumping.

“I did what I could to help,” he said.John PerieraJohn Periera has been on the Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire Department for two

years now. The 38 year old had a friend in the department who encouraged him.“I’m always interested in learning new things,” he said, “and in joining up their was a

bonus, in that I made a whole bunch of new friends.”Periera enjoys the challenges of each call, noting there are always things that don’t go

according to plan, and each incident had to be approached in a thoughtful manner.“In practises, I learn something new each week,” he said, “and the other firefighters are

good at keeping things light and upbeat - they’re a good group of people.”Jesse Walters Jesse Walters has been on the Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire Department for a

year and a half. The 28 year old and his wife, who teaches, bought a house in the area and wanted to do something to help out in the community, as well as meet people.

“Joining the fire department has exceeded my expectations with respect to what I hoped to get out of it,” he said. “I’ve learned things in the past year and half that I didn’t think I’d learn in 10 years.”

Walters finds responding to a call much like engaging in a sports activity.“There’s an adrenalin rush, and that need to be on top of the situation,” he said. Walters spoke to a number of members already on the department before applying.

He also had family in Kamloops who were volunteer firefighters, so, as he said, he “knew what I was getting into.”

Newer recruits bring youth and enthusiasm

EXERCISE AND EXCUSES...SIMPLE CHAIR STRETCHES WHILE AT WORK

Why bother? I don’t have time! Can we take the “work” out of workout?All these questions/hesitations/excuses! Yes, even I, a qualified Fitness trainer for over 12yrs, still has those days where ex-ercise is more like a chore than a joyful, enlightening, stress- relieving task that it actually is.However, I am here to tell you that not only can it be fun, invigorating and good for you! It can also be a social gathering, a new learning experience and a wonderful way to regain confidence in that body you have been verbally abusing in front of the mirror the last few months. Lol.What you need to ask yourself is: What workout appeals to you? We have a plethora of choices out there now, as an instructor, changing with the constant tide of new trends is part of the fun. Zumba, Yoga, Weight Training, Gravity Training, Spin. All these and more I am teaching in Penticton. So no more excuses, there is something for every-one/shape and size.If while at work, you find yourself becoming stiff behind the keyboard, a bit like myself right now, here are a few easy stretch-es to keep you limber. Just until you all come to class of course!Simple chair stretches while at work:1. Sit on the edge of your chair with legs in a V position, feet flat on the floor. Place hands behind your head or on thighs.

Arch your upper back, lifting chest to the ceiling as you lean forward. Then contract your abdominals to round out the spine, bringing your head downward as you return to a neutral spine.

Repeat four to six times. This is a great way to limber up for exercise or just to stretch upper body and spine.2. Sitting in upright position, rotate the shoulders up to ears in a rolling motion, reverse direction and rotate back down.

Repeat this 4-6 times, reversing the rotating position each time.3. Again, sitting upright on edge of chair, back straight abs engaged, raise right knee to chest, hold, extend leg and flex foot,

holding for 10-12secs. Should feel slight pull through the hamstring, maintain strong core. Keep left foot firmly on the ground to stabilize. Bring knee back to chest and release to floor. Repeat action with left leg, do both legs 2 or 3 times.

4. Stand with arms by sides, letting the shoulders relax. With slight bend in elbows, reach behind your back, clasping hands together by interlocking fingers. Take deep breath through the nose and exhale through the mouth. Slowly push your shoulders back and straighten your arms. Keep looking straight ahead and try not to hyperextend the neck. You can raise arms higher to increase stretch. Hold for 15- 30 seconds.

Feel the stretch across the chest and top of shoulders. This increases range of motion and flex-ibility.As always, remember to check with your Doctor before doing any strenuous exercise, Take care and Be HealthyThis 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.

OFF-LABEL DRUGSThe term “off-label drugs” refers to the use of a drug for a condition it’s not approved for. A good example of this is using a drug used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure to relieve the anxiety of going on stage. Another is using an anti-malarial drug to treat night time leg cramps.

DIPTHERIA...Diptheria, a serious, contagious disease, has largely been eradicated with only two cases being reported this century. A German physiologist, Emil von Behring, won the Nobel Prize in 1901 for his work in developing an anti-diptheria vaccine.

CAN YOU OUTGROW ALLERGIES?Allergies are common at this time of year. Can you outgrow an allergy? About 20% of people do. Many children outgrow their allergies to milk and eggs by the age of five. If you have an allergic child, check with an allergy specialist who can test for allergies and tell you the severity of the allergies your child has.

NO SUCH THING AS A HEALTHY TANIt’s ironic that society equates a tanned body with good health. However, as Health Canada says. “there’s no such thing as a healthy tan”. Tanning is a sign of skin damage and excessive exposure to the sun can cause skin cancers in the future. If you want a quick, tanned look, you can try those quick tan lotions. Remember, they do not protect you from the sun. They are just cosmetic colourants.For advice on allergy and sunscreen products, talk to our pharmacists. We keep up to date on all the latest products available for summer ailments.

Then there’s the schedule of payments to suppliers for goods and services over $25,000.

Proof positive that everything isn’t always what it seems: that $62,417 West Vancouver spent at Mer-cedes-Benz wasn’t to buy a new car for the mayor or a parting gift for the former chief administrative officer, but rather – as would befit the tony suburb – the mu-nicipality has some Mercedes-Benz trucks in its civic fleet.

They did, however, spend $26,838 with House Wine. And that would not be a plonk, but a wine con-sulting firm. The bill hopefully included a few bottles.

While overall expenditure comparisons between cit-ies aren’t entirely fair, since no two are a carbon copy of the other, the financial statements do provide some interesting observations.

On a per capita basis, local government expendi-tures came in at $3,002 in West Vancouver, $2,497 in Fort St. John, $2,167 in Vancouver, $1,898 in Rossland and $1,561 in Abbotsford.

Abbotsford shouldn’t gloat too much. Council there still has to deal with the fallout from that city’s ill-fated foray into the world of semi-professional hockey.

The American Hockey League’s Abbotsford Heat

didn’t generate much of it in the Fraser Valley and lo-cal ratepayers are now on the hook for losses of $12.7 million. As Mayor Bruce Banman stated “We will not be subsidizing private industry again.” No kidding.

To put these per capita numbers in some perspec-tive, in the 2012 Kitchen/Slack: Report for BC Expert Panel on Business Tax Competitiveness, per capita expenditures in B.C. were pegged at $1,591.

Now here’s an idea local councils could consider: create an open data system to consolidate all of the annual statements from across B.C. You might also consider moving up the deadline for posting the re-ports by a month or two.

6 Home and Renovation FlicksThere are so many people who are anxious to get knee-deep in home improvement projects. Still others are more than happy to leave the work to a professional and sit back and enjoy the results. Those who choose to hire a contractor can cer-tainly get their fill of home improvement projects by watching films where homes or renovations are central to the plot.1. “Money Pit”: No list would be complete with-out including this movie starring Tom Hanks and Shelley Long, who attempt to renovate a mansion only to be met with disaster after disaster.2. “The Notebook”: Nicholas Sparks’ novel turned into this unforgettable, romantic film is a love story at its core. However, the renovation of a Victorian home in the Carolinas is also central to the story and makes for amazing imagery.3. “Poltergeist”: This movie showcases what can go wrong when a home takes on a life of its own as malevolent ghosts take over.4. “Under the Tuscan Sun”: While renovating a home might be considered interesting, doing so in the remote beauty of the Italian countryside makes for a much more visually appealing film.5. “House of Sand and Fog”: A woman is evicted from her home after it is wrongly repossessed and auctioned. Together with a sheriff ’s deputy the woman begins harassing the new owners of the home in an attempt to get back her residence.6. “Field of Dreams”: Although it is not the house that is getting a makeover, but rather the fields behind this impressive farmhouse, viewers can be mesmerized by the magic that ensues afterward.
