Ben Dirksen discusses pump op-eration with members of the Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire Department during a weekend training ses-sion in Keremeos. Dirksen began his career in firefighting as a volunteer in Kere-meos.
Ben Dirksen paid a visit to the village on the weekend.
While that event was not par-ticularly 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 vol-unteer in the community. His expo-sure to firefighting in this communi-ty 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 eve-ning, January 17.
“I always had an interest in the fire department here. While in school I played football in Pent-icton, 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 de-partment.
“That was before the depart-ment’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 idea how to get on a full time de-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 col-lege, 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 sta-tion 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 Dirk-sen through the Justice Institute of BC.
“It’s two days related to every-thing a firefighter needs to know about pumps and pumping - from the mechanical workings of pumps to hydraulic calculations to practi-cal 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 depart-ments don’t offer as much in the way of employment opportuni-ties,” 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 depart-ment 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 vol-unteer, and two of which are com-posite (full time and volunteer staff).

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 writ-ing 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 natu-ral 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 pub-lished and available at the Kere-meos library after February 4.
Contest ends Saturday February 1, and winners will be announced Tuesday, February 4.

EditorialAging infrastructure
could present a taxpayers dilemma
Keremeos’ outdoor municipal staff were reminded last week that even this small com-munitiy is not immune to a problem plaguing municipalities across Canada.
That reminder came after village contrac-tor 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 engi-neers preparing a quote to replace deteriorat-ing 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 infra-structure 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.

My wife and I at-t e n d e d a “ W i c k e d Wednesday” evening at the South Okanagan Events Centre in Pent-icton last week.
W i c ke d We d n e s -day i s a promot ion bu i l t a round a mid week Penticton Vees game, where a raffle for a used car is held in conjunct ion with the game. A limited number of tickets are sold, making the odds of winning quite rea-sonable, at least when compared to those of, say Lotto Max.
A n o t h e r s e l l i n g 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
to a low cost n ight away from the fam-ily television (where nothing is on anyway) and it gets people out in support of the local hockey team.
I t s e e m e d t o b e working, judging by the crowds on both evenings, which I be-lieve 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, so she provides the impetus to get us both to the SOEC. It’s win-win-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 seats and our $2.50 beer, we made the be-g inner ’s mis take of waiting until the first per iod inter miss ion to buy a ticket on the vehicle.
At first, I couldn’t find the sales area for the t i cke t s - i t was located in the Hockey Hall of Fame area - nor did I realize how busy the ticket sellers were.
Finally, I didn’t re-alize at the time that the tickets were lim-ited. 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.
She was probably right.
Still it was a good n i g h t o u t , w i t h a n entertaining hockey game to boot.
We were better edu-cated 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 r e f i n d i n g o u t seats, waiting until the first period intermis-sion 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 al-ways next time.
Wicked Wednesdays seem to be proving popular at the South Okanagan events centre
Ke r e m e o s r e s i d e n t Marnie Todd is a busy lady these days.
She’s preparing to head for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Soch i , Rus-sia, on January 29, after being s e l e c t e d a s a member of the Canadian Free-style Ski Inte-grated Support Staff Medical Team.
It’s the second Olympics for Todd, who runs a massage therapist clinic in Keremeos. She also helped look after Canadian freestyle skiers during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
“I’ll be gone for most of February,” Todd said of her upcoming trip to Russia. “I was there with the support team last year - I think it’s a going to be a great venue for the Olympics.”
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 disci-plines. 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 Bi-lodeau, to name two - have essentially pre-qualified based on last season’s results, the remaining spots on the team will be up for grabs until the eleventh hour.
“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 of who to watch for, but halfpiper Matt Margetts (Penticton) will be a local entry to
cheer for. Most of the team was announced on January
20, with six remaining spots to be selected to the ski cross team on January 27. Okanagan Falls free-styler, 18 year old Andi Naude (Okanagan Falls narrowly missed selection on the weekend.
Margetts finished third at the men’s halfpipe event held in Calgary on January 3, while Naude
finished fourth at the Calgary course of the World Cup mogul circuit on January 4.
“It’s going to be exciting to watch,” Todd promised, “I would say

“I’ve been fortunate that my clients and my fam-ily have been so understanding,” she said, “I’m excited about going to Sochi. It’s pretty neat to be chosen to be part of the team again.
“But it has meant that we have been pretty much non-stop the past few months.
“We don’t rest a lot,” she laughed.

Greed at the heart of economic decision makingTo the Editor: I totally resent the reasoning spouted in Gwyn Mor-
gan’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 imply-ing 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...

Kobau Park in Cawston will once again be home to competitive baseball for young Similkameen ball players.
A group of local coaches have been work-ing 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 � elding 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 Si-milkameen 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 inter-est 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 upcom-ing 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.
Any player born in 2001/2002 (Peewee) or 2003/2004 (Mosquito) are invited to join. There are early registration discounts until February 15 and opportunity for � nancial help to cover registration and equipment if needed.
For more information on the winter ball program or joining the Similkameen spring baseball teams call Marc Lepage at: 250-499-4235, or email [email protected]

The Al McKee Invita-tional girls basketball tour-nament got off to a good start for host team Similka-meen Sparks on Friday.
The Similkameen Sparks Junior team put some distance on the score-board between themselves and opponent Summerland Rockets in the first two quarters, eventually cruis-ing to a 50 -14 win. The Similkameen Elementary Secondary School Junior team were favoured to take first place in the weekend tournament.
SESS hosted a total of four games on Friday evening, followed by eight more on Saturday.
In Saturday’s final, Similkameen played and defeated a previously unbeaten Charles Bloom team. They stood at 15-0, in the best game of the junior tournament.
From Similkameen, Reiley Terbasket was named tournament all-star, while Madison Terbasket was named tournament
most valuable player (MVP).
The final, turned out to be anti-climatic after Similkameen took a 35-7 lead by the end of the first quarter, allowing them to coast the rest of the game and still win by a 20 point margin.
The best game of the tournament was Heritage versus Unity. The score was close the whole game, with many lead changes.
Similkameen team member, Tina Schaefer was named tournament all-star, and Nicola Terbasket was named tournament MVP.
A significant outome of the tournament was that Unity Christian came to Keremeos as favorites, (ranked fifth, in single A Girls provincially) and left with only one win and two losses.

Today and tomorrow’s children are able to see some old growth in pictures or protected area’s of pristine forest that the greedy would love to clear cut .
I for one zealot have said it once and I’ll say it again- once Ca-nadian 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 Chris-ty 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 chil-dren 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 de-scribes 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
Cost to opt out is extortionTo the Editor:I see the B.C.
Liberal Utilities Commission, oh sorry the B.C. Utilities Com-m i s s i o n h a s turned a blind eye and approved the Fortis BC ap-plication for opt-
out fees for their smart meters.
N o w t h i s means that if you get a smart meter you can have the Wi-Fi transmit-ter turned off.
This transmit-ter is what emits the harmful ra-
diation pulse all day.
So they are saying if you pay us a fee we will not harm you, isn’t that extor-tion in every sense of the word?

Proposal to bylaw change causes consternation on council
Keremeos village council had little on the agenda at the regu-lar meeting on January 6, but the introduc-tion of a new bylaw re-
sulted in some spirited discussion between council and members of the gallery.
Village staff pre-sented a proposal for a “good neighbour bylaw” for council’s consideration.
The proposal’s in-tent was to incorpo-rated property mainte-nance, nuisance, noise, firearms, littering and health regulations into a single bylaw, in an ef-fort to consolidate and streamline a number
of bylaws already on village books.
The new bylaw was also intended to provide further assis-tance to enforcement authorities for certain activities.
All four councillors,
including three mem-bers of the public in the gallery expressed similar concerns over the document.
“Too onerous,” said Councillor Ar-low, while Councillor Thielmann called the
changes in the by-law “harsh and dra-conian.” Councillor Cowling echoed the comments of the oth-ers, while Councillor Evans felt the poten-tial was great for abuse of the bylaw.
“It needs soften-ing,” he told council.
Chief Adminis-trative Officer Laurie Taylor defended the changes, noting that much of what was

The Review, Thursday, January 23, 2014 — Page 13
news
the new bylaw already existed in older village bylaws. The main objective behind introduction of the good neigh-bour 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 surveil-lance and interference.
“The feds dump on the province, the province dumps on the municipalities, and the municipalities dump on the tax-payer, 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,” ex-pressed 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 fol-lowing the results of a coordi-nated 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 re-leased from custody on $4,000 bail, but is required to make another court appearance near the end of January.
Village of Keremeos maintenance personnel, along with Summerland contractors Suck it Up fixed a problem with the village’s Sixth Street sew-age lift station last week.
Maintenance person-nel had identified the problem at the lift station last year, discovering a leak in a stainless steel pipe connecting the main sewage line with the lift station pump.
The Suck it Up con-tractors were in the vil-lage before Christmas last year, cleaning and inspecting three of the vil-lage’s four stations. They returned on January 13 to assist village outside staff in the replacement of the failed pipe.
“The pipe in question - which cost the village an unanticipated $4,500 - was a three inch stainless steel pres-sure pipe,” village foreman Jordy Bosscha said. “The pipe was installed in 1982.”
Suck it Up performed assessments on the other lift stations in the village, out of a budget money established in the 2013 financial plan.
“We are looking at re-building the steel inside each station,” Bosscha said, “the pumps are serviced annu-ally, but the piping, fittings and valves all need to be replaced.”
Bosscha said once a list of materials is established, the
village will be seeking quotes.The failed pipe and the
need to rebuild the village’s lift stations are signs that Keremeos is not immune to a malady plaguing the nation’s municipalities - that of aging infrastructure.
“The failure of that stain-less steel pipe,” said Bosscha, “wasn’t supposed to hap-pen.”
Keremeos is currently faced with potentially high capital expenditures on two fronts as the village continues to seek higher level govern-ment funding in order to proceed with necessary con-struction of new infrastruc-ture in the form of a sewer extension into the upper bench area.
At the same time, efforts are ongoing in annual budget planning to put together sufficient reserves to replace infrastructure known to be reaching the end of its ser-vice life, such as aging water mains in the downtown core.
Premature failures such as the sewage lift station pipe add to the tax burden, and they are a wildcard - difficult to predict and therefore hard to budget for.
Aging infrastructure is a concern nation wide, in all developed countries, said the Canadian Infrastructure Report Card, published in part by the Federation of BC Municipalities, in 2012.
The Association of Con-sulting Engineers of Canada
estimated in 2004 that 50 per cent of public infrastructure will have reached the end of its service life by 2027.
How best to invest in infrastructure to maintain competitiveness and stan-dards of living is a big ques-tion facing governments of all levels today.
Findings also show about 30 per cent of municipal infrastructure is assessed as between fair and very poor, and that many municipali-ties lack the capacity to man-age their infrastructure.
The complete report card can be viewed at: http://www.fcm.ca/Documents/re-ports/Canadian_Infrastruc-ture_Report_Card_EN.pdf

OVERWEIGHT PETS - It’s not just a human problem!
Being overweight is not just a human problem. Pets are very o� en 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 � nish the rest of their meal, and I must admit that I am as guilty as the person next door when it comes to o� ering treats for good behavior.A similar thing happens with our pets. We generally think giving them treats is a nice thing to do. A� er 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 di� culties 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 o� en not taken very seriously. While pet owners are diligent about getting their animals spayed, neutered and vaccinated every year, they o� en brush aside any comments made about their pet’s weight. � e 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.� e best way to maintain a healthy weight for your pet is to feed them an appropriate diet that is adjusted to their speci� c calorie requirements. � is 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 o� 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 � nd yourself in better shape.Linda’s Bio: Colour Me Healthy, Alternative Health Pet Care, Box 1154 Oliver B.C. V0H1T0 (250)485-7116 - Linda Buhler Website - Email

AS OUR POPULATION AGES
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.
