2014: The year of the fires

Tara BowieReview Staff

The heat was turned up on the Keremeos fire department as it battled a number of intense structure fires in 2014.

After a calm January, fire struck twice in the downtown area as the upper floors of the Riverbed Bistro were destroyed and then two days later a building on Seventh Street that housed a dog grooming business and an apartment was destroyed.

The upper floor of the Riverbed Bistro was fully engulfed by the time Keremeos firefighters arrived at about 7:30 p.m. February 1. No injuries were reported and the upper units were under renovation at the time.

RCMP determined the cause of the fire was suspicious. No charges have been laid.

The roof was not replaced on the building until mid-May. It has yet to be re-opened.

Fire struck Seventh Street just two days later in the early hours of February 3. At about 1:30 a.m. 16 firefighters battled through a chilly, windy night. Although the structure on fire that housed Paw Spa and an apartment could not be saved the adjacent buildings Ox Yoke Collectables and the Keremeos BC Liquor store were protected.

“It was an old building with a shiplap ceiling that made it difficult for firefighters to access. An excavator was brought in to help knock the building down and prevent spread to neighbouring properties. The firefighters did a great job under difficult circumstances,” KVFD fire chief Jordy Bosscha said at the time.

Just four days later the Keremeos fire department respond-ed to a fire that broke out in a Barcelo Road residence in Cawston on Feb. 7.

When firefighters arrived on scene at about 8 a.m. the home was fully engulfed.

The intense fire, believed to have started in the home’s carport, spread to firewood near the residence.

The fire left the owners of the home, an elderly couple, homeless and destroyed two vehicles.

Wildfire season arrived early in 2014 with the first fire striking near the base of the mountain near A and M Orchards just north of Keremeos on April 11.

Fanned by strong, gusty winds firefighters were fortunate that the westerly winds moved it away from property on the valley floor.

Just two days later crews were back at it again as a second wildfire broke out south of Cawston between Highway 3 and

the Similkameen River.A hayfield and barn were threatened, but firefighters man-

aged to prevent any property losses.Keremeos firefighters worked the 84-hectare fire from

2:30 p.m. until midnight and were back on scene the next morning assessing hot spots.

Despite Keremeos firefighters’ efforts, a devastating fire destroyed the Red Bridge Pub, Keremeos Hotel and Liquor Store and the 7th Street Diner on July 7.

The fire department was called to the historic building at about 8:20 a.m. to find the inside fully engulfed. Within min-utes the flames had breached to the outside of the building.

Mutual aid was called immediately with fire crews arriv-ing from Kaleden and Osoyoos. Crews battled the blaze for four hours but the building was completely gutted.

The fire emitted plumes of grey and black smoke for sev-eral hours blanketing parts of the village and making breath-ing difficult.

Twenty people lost their place of employment as a result of the fire.

The cause of the fire was not deemed suspicious.The Keremeos Hotel was one of the village’s oldest and

most historic buildings dating back to 1906.

Twenty people lost their jobs when the Keremeos Hotel, one of the village’s oldest and most historic buildings, went up in flames on July 7.

The easiest way for a company to make head-lines is for it to be connected with an environmental issue of some kind.

The valley knows this only too well, as earlier in the month a breech from a tailings line at Copper Mountain Mine spilled into Wolfe Creek. Mine officials responded promptly to the incident and contained the spill in 20 minutes, but not until 500 litres of slurry had been discharged.

Days later the Lower Similkameen Indian Band threatened to seek a court injunction shutting down operations at Copper Mountain, until certain condi-tions were met.

The Band asked for an independent inquiry into the spill, as well as an investigation into the con-sequences of mining on the Similkameen Valley. A 2013 spill on a much larger scale at the Basin Coal Mine injected 65,000 litres of coal slurry into the Tulameen River, and was never resolved to the Band’s satisfaction.

Demands for inquiries and requests for informa-tion and study are not unreasonable given what is at stake for the Similkameen and its tributaries.

Seeking court injunctions though, those are fight-ing words.

The mining industry and the environment and the people who lobby for them both need to work cooperatively for actual solutions.

In 2013 BC produced $2 billion worth of copper and nearly $300 million worth of gold. Mining and related industries employ 30,000 people in BC, with average annual salaries and benefits of more than $100,000.

In the valley it is easy to draw the line between mining and a healthy economy. Copper Mountain Mine employs more than 400 people and 70 percent of them live in the area. (Approximately a dozen of them are LWIB members.) Those people and their families own houses here, they buy groceries and winter tires and they eat out in restaurants. They pay taxes that fund a police department, firefighting and other municipal services.

Moreover there isn’t anyone – practically any-where – who doesn’t utilize the end products of BC mines.

Consider the amount of construction aggregates like sand, gravel and stone that are produced in BC. It doesn’t just build roads and hospital parking lots. Do you like to ski? Does your income rely on tour-ist dollars? Approximately 4,000 cubic metres of concrete were used in building Whistler’s Peak 2 Peak gondola.

Perhaps you are one of the three million adults in BC who owns a smart phone. Smart phones require metals like gold and copper, as well as an industrial mineral called silica for the screens.

To echo mine minister Bill Bennett, every British Columbian has a connection to the mining industry in this province.

The economy is important, it needs to be sus-tained. The environment is important, it needs to be sustained.

Those goals needn’t be mutually exclusive if peo-ple are willing to compromise, and work together.

- AD

The break between Christmas and New Year’s Day is typically what is known in the industry as “a slow news week.”

No one is making announcements or hold-ing meetings and unless there is some kind of natural or man made disaster headlines run towards look backs, reviews, the year in the pictures, that sort of thing.

On Boxing Day I read a unique spin on this theme: The Best Hoaxes of 2014.

You probably recall some of them. No, there wasn’t really a shark in Lake Ontario, and you can’t charge your iPhone in the microwave. (That latter one though, I can tell you from personal experience if you drop your cell phone in the toilet you might as well try drying it out on the defrost setting as you have nothing to lose and might actually extend its life by a couple of hours.)

Social media has elevated the news hoax to previously unimag-ined levels. Satirical websites also have much to answer for. As it turns out in 2014 the rumors of Betty White’s death were greatly exaggerated. Also Jose Canseco did not lose his finger in a poker game and try to sell it on Ebay.

I have executed one media hoax in my career. It caused so much flurry and angst in a town not much larger than Keremeos, I swore never to do it again.

It was one of the rare publishing days at a weekly paper that fell square on April Fool’s Day. The front page of the newspaper that April 1 was given over to a picture of Leonardo DiCaprio – this was a couple of years after he drowned in the North Atlantic –with a story about how the young star would spend the summer in town filing a remake of Rebel Without A Cause, directed by Rob Reiner.

The idea was not completely fantastic. Paris, Ontario has pro-vided the setting for a number of feature and made-for-television

movies including The Hard Part Begins, Blood and Guts, Ordinary Magic, Spenser: Pale Kings and Princess, Shadow Builder, Phil the Alien, The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio, and Away from Her.

It was more believable than sharks in Lake Ontario, at any rate.

All the reader had to do, to realize page one was an April Fool’s joke, was open the paper and look at page two. The story even gave directions: continued on page two.

Only nobody did that right away. The first phone calls were from town admin-

istrators and councilors, incensed that Paramount Pictures issued a news release without obtaining the

necessary municipal permissions for filming.An acting school from Toronto emailed the morning we hit the

streets, wanting help to co-ordinate a field trip of several dozen students to observe the movie making process.

A number of middle-aged women– ordinarily sensible and down-to-earth types – dropped by the office hoping I could extend to Mr. DiCaprio the offer of a spare room, home cooked meals, and a quiet family environment for his stay in our friendly town.

At the grocery store I was set upon by a pack of teenager girls at the newspaper rack. Several of them were weeping.

All of it happened without Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.It took a long time for Paris to get over that little prank. Once

people understood it was a hoax – once they read page two – they were unhappy. They seemed to feel it was my fault Leonardo DiCaprio wasn’t coming to town, that I had said or done some-thing to keep him away.

In retrospect I should have gone with alligators in the sewer system.

Live and learn.

BC needs rivers AND

mines

Media should leave hoaxes to others

SUNDAY LUNCHES IN IRELAND AND BUTTERFLIES

To-day I still get butterflies all the time especially when I start a new adventure such as writing this new book, or starting the Celtic & Sacred Land Tours. It is all worth it as I experience such joy and fun trying something new.Changes in your own life may cause you butterflies in your stomach!.Have you experienced this too?You grow and learn new things every time something changes. You discover new insights about different aspects of your life. You learn lessons even from changes that did not lead you to where you wanted to be.Each change is like turning a page in a book. It is about closing one chapter and opening another one. Changes bring new beginnings and excitement to life.When I come to a crossroads or a decision, I start with asking my angels for guidance. When you desire help from your angels, you simply need to ask. Because of the Law of Free Will, the angels can only assist you when you ask for their help. They hear and attend to your requests, whether you call for them out loud or reach out with your inner thoughts and feelings. They know the desires of your soul, of your true self, and always offer loving guidance to point you in the direction of your dreams.You will know you are receiving guidance from the Angelic Realm when the messages are loving, gentle, repet-itive, consistent and without fear.When making a decision or new change, try to let go of the fear based chatter in your head. Once we can eliminate the fear then we can see more clearly our path and follow our heart’s desire or dreams.If you are able to gather some friends around you to talk through your decision, this is also a great way to see your options. Maybe invite a group of people over for Sunday lunch. As you discuss your options you may experience a `knowing’ or butterflies when you discuss one particular option.So next time you get the temptation to avoid or resist change, aim instead to connect with your angels or guides. This will initiate the ones who will lead you to where you want to be.And remember—if there were no changes, there would be no butterflies!This article is of the copyright of OK in Health and the author; any reproduction, duplication and transmission of the article are to have prior written approval by OK in Health or the authorThese articles are provided by OK In Health eMagazine.

REFLECTING ON 2014 & LOOKING FORWARDAs 2014 draws to a close, it’s time to start thinking of the promises we made ourselves last year at this time. Remember we were going to exercise more, eat healthier and take more time for ourselves and family? Here’s some more you may want to consider for this coming year...

REDUCE COLA, INCREASE FIBREReduce the amount of cola soft drinks. There is some link between these drinks and bone loss and diabetes. As well, increase your � bre intake by eating bran cereals rather than others with less � bre. The target is to consume 14 grams of � bre for every 1000 calories you take in.

EAT MORE SALMONEat more salmon rather than tuna. The fattier � sh like salmon have more omega-3 oils which some experts say reduces triglycerides in the blood, helps prevent blood clots and lowers the in� ammation of plaques in the arteries which, if they break off the blood vessel lining, can cause a heart attack. If you can’t get fresh salmon, use the canned type.

TRY FRUIT FOR DESSERTIf you feel you’d like dessert after a meal, choose fruit. You’ll be keeping your saturated fat intake down which in turn helps your weight. Losing weight is on many persons’ resolution lists. Some of these suggestions may help.

We’d like to thank you for all your kind comments about Capsule Comments. It’s a feature that complements our practice of pharmacy. Happy New Year to you all!

Scott Tremblay Vice Principal SESS

What a year at SESS? Another year has gone by, and it was a

pace that was fierce, but super productive. So much has happened in such a short period of time.

Let’s begin with athletics. Fall sports at SESS was a busy one with soccer, volleyball, cross country running, swim-ming, and basketball. In the elementary end, there was district soccer, in which the boys’ team placed first overall and the girls’ team placed third. With district elementary volleyball, the boys’ teams dominated placing first overall in the A and B categories. The girls’ teams per-formed quite well placing second and fourth respectfully.

Up at the secondary level, the volley teams and soccer team placed well at valleys. A first at SESS was the swim team, in which the team qualified in three events for provincials. With basketball up and running, SESS has six teams practic-ing and playing, which is quite amazing for a small school. Again, the athletics program is thriving at SESS.

There are many new clubs at SESS: games, ping pong, and German language. Also, Sarah Chobotar has organized the student council. The council’s responsi-bility is to organize and promote student

activities. In the elementary end, Rick Johnson

has been busy with his peer mediation group and his grade seven leadership group. Will Grainger has been busy with setting up the new bell schedule, and he and Ian Johnson are teacher leaders for setting up the new computer student infor-mation system called MyEducationBC for SESS.

They will be busy training teachers for the January start- up date.

In the office, we have some new faces. Rita Knight is now head secretary and Debbie Wilkinson is assistant secretary, and they are doing an amazing job, espe-cially organizing the basketball program, which has the senior teams attending a combined 12 tournaments. Wow!

What to look forward to at SESS in 2015? In terms of athletics, the elementary basketball program will begin and then the ever popular track meet will be ready to be run in June. Also, Nikki Johnson will be starting up the school garden when the snow melts. Students and community members will be planting and weeding away until the vegetables are ready to be harvested. Prom will be held at the Grist Mill again in early May. Please come and see the grads in all their glory. It will be a fast paced second part of the school year, and we, at SESS, are looking forward to it.

Busy year at SESS

STEWARTTHOMAS WESLEY:Passed peacefully at age 79

At Orchard Haven Home, Keremeos

Thursday, December 18, 2014After living with Alzheimer’s

for 12 years or moreWes will be deeply

missed, lovingly remembered, and cherished forever by his family: His wife of 58 years, Nettie, and his three girls, Kathy (Earle), Betty (Joe), and Barbara (John), his seven grandchildren, Trevor (Cara), Darcey (Kristi), Kelly (Krystal), Melissa (Jerome), Shauna (Tyler), David, Angela (Logan), as well as three great-grandchildren, Steven, Summer and Jacob. Wes is also survived by six brothers and four sisters… Roy (Jean), Russell (Lucy), Veronica (Hugh), Lloyd (Mary), Lyle’s wife Lidia, Glen (Shirley), Myles (Linda), Dick (Marg), Ruby (Bruce), Maryann (Joseph), Joan (Terry). Wes was predeceased by his father, Geordie, his mother Mabel, his sister Verna and his brother Lyle. Wes will be greatly missed by many more nieces, nephews, extended family members, dear friends, neighbors, community members, and by the residents and staff of Orchard Haven Home, River Valley Lodge and Kaylami Place. To know Wes was to love him, to love him was to work beside him, laugh with him, eat heartily with him, surround him with children and share a tea, a game of crib and some stories. He was a grease-monkey at the service station on the intersection of Highway 3A and Coulthard when he met Nettie, a transient farm worker, who became his life’s partner. Wes was the sawyer in the Stewart brothers sawmill. He was a cattleman, an orchardist, and a dairy farmer. He spent his life doing what he loved to do. Together, he and Nettie built a home, a farm and a family in Cawston. Wes is fondly remembered by many in the valley as being just a phone call away, day or night, when there was an animal in distress.The family’s heartfelt thanks go to Dr. Jeanes, Dr. Lowe, Dr. Ford, and all the staff at River Valley Lodge, Orchard Haven and Kaylami. Thank you for your exceptional care. Special thanks to Rochelle, Peggy, Eirinn, Gerry, Laura, Shelley, Sandy and Doug for being there, and to the cooks at Kaylami for Dad’s Christmas dinner on Sunday evening. Thank you to Judy Heisler for giving us the precious photographic memories of last summer.

In memoriam donations may be made to Alzheimer’s research. UBC, Division of Neurology.

GOD BE WITH YOU ‘TIL WE MEET AGAIN

The Review Thursday, January 1, 2015 www.keremeosreview.com A11ENTERTAINMENT

CAPRICORN: Don’t try to hide your emotions this week, Capricorn. If others know just how you are feeling they will be more likely to offer a helping hand and some valuable advice.

AQUARIUS: You have an infectious amount of energy this week, Aquarius. That will serve you well because many things are piling up on your to-do list. You’re ready to meet tasks head-on.

PISCES: Do you feel like you’re being pulled in too many directions, Pisces? Let up on accepting any new responsibilities for now.

ARIES: It may seem that you have your head in the clouds, Aries. But you know that you have everything under control. Disregard the critics and keep plugging away.

TAURUS: Taurus, look inside yourself for the solution to a problem that has puzzled you. You understand the situation better than anyone else, so bear down and find the solution.

GEMINI: There is no easy way out of the work you have to get done, Gemini. Just hunker down and accept that these tasks have to be completed before you can move on.

CANCER: You may feel some pressure from higher-ups, Cancer. But don’t allow that pressure to distract you from the tasks at hand. You will get things done on time.

LEO: Leo, after weeks of running around, it is finally time to kick your feet up and relax. The concept may seem strange to you, but soon enough you will get the hang of it.

VIRGO: Virgo, you have been stuck on a problem but the solution is right around the corner. Perhaps you should change your perspective and go about it in a new way.

LIBRA: Focus on the positives of a new venture even if you’re nervous about the outcome, Libra. If you let negative thoughts slide in you can quickly be overwhelmed.

SCORPIO: New possibilities seem to arise out of nowhere, Scorpio. Embrace the good fortune coming your way and make the most of these wonderful and exciting opportunities.

SAGITTARIUS: It will take some energy to referee a situation at home, Sagittarius. Strong personalities can clash at times, but you have a way of working through the obstacles.

On a visit to Mountain Prison near Agassiz some years ago, I encountered a number of round faced men, clad in drab grey pris-on garb. They were sitting on hard wooden benches set against long metal huts. Except for occasion-ally inserting a cigarette between their lips, they sat still and lifeless as sand sculptures on a forgotten beach. I approached them and asked, “what are you all waiting for?”

An elderly man with a balding scalp roused himself and respond-ed quite amicably, “we’re waiting for the ringing of the lunch bell. Then we can go in and eat.”

On subsequent visits, I saw the men there many times, often arriving long before the bell sum-moned them. For some, meals were the most significant events in their day. In time I understood that prison life had fostered a toxic lethargy in them and most had no realistic goals or vision for anything better. They seemed not to grasp they could be preparing for the rigours of life awaiting them beyond the high chain link fence around the prison. Inside the fence they were able to blame others for their plight. Outside they would need to deal with real-ity. They feared reality. Although they admitted it only rarely, some felt safe only within the fence. They reminded me of T.S. Eliot’s “Hollow Men.”

Seeing these men was a reminder to me that it is in the storms of life that we grow strong. I realized how true this is later when I was working for the One Way Adventure Foundation in Hedley. Each summer we took small groups of Young Offenders on a Bowron Lakes canoe expe-dition. The trip consists of por-

taging, canoeing on lakes and rivers, and camping in a pristine wilderness. Once on the lakes, we had no means of communicating with anyone outside our group. If a canoe began to leak, we had to deal with it.

On one trip our crew con-sisted of three leaders and nine adolescent boys travelling in six sturdy, Frontiersman canoes. The youths came primarily from poorly functioning homes. They generally arrived at our campus with a distinctly uncooperative attitude, often with a swagger. They attempted to portray them-selves as tough and street smart. Having no chain link fence to protect them from life’s harsh realities, they had donned a mask to hide their sense of insecurity.

We wanted to expose them to mosquitoes, horse flies, paddling or portaging all day, sometimes in incessant rain. We considered it important that they feel the dis-comfort of a canoe yoke digging into their shoulders on portages. The experience would plant a sig-nificant memory in their psyche. A memory of grappling with unaccustomed and unexpected challenges, and discovering they had the stamina to persevere to the end. They would see that we, the leaders, were also being rav-aged by the insects and the ele-ments. Masks would begin to slip as we all contended with a reality we could not ignore.

It was an overcast Thursday morning when our little con-tingent emerged from the fast flowing, dangerous waters of the Cariboo River onto Lanezi Lake. A powerful headwind was already whipping up waves. Spray blew into our faces and we could scarcely move. Our canoes bobbed like corks on the rest-

less water. Because the towering mountains descended on either side to the edge of the lake, we could find no refuge there. Fear gripped the boys. They were city youths and had never paddled in turbulent water like this.

Fear in their voices concerned me. It was quickly eroding their inner strength. I needed to do something to give them confi-dence. I started singing, “row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream.” Initially they looked at me as though doubting my sanity. Sensing my confidence, a couple of the older boys began singing with me. Their voices weren’t much better than mine but in the blowing wind, it didn’t matter.

“Row, row, row your boat.” Soon we were all singing and whooping and paddling like mad voyageurs. Suddenly, we were lusty and strong and free.

I looked at the 2 straining, sweating boys in the canoe closest to me and both of them grinned broadly. They were hav-ing too much fun to be scared. Three hours later, in the safety of our rustic camp, with tents set up, a camp fire warming us, and hot food in our bellies, we knew we had conquered our fears.

Now, with a new year dawn-ing, this is a good time for all of us to decide we won’t be content to sit on a bench mindlessly wait-ing for our next meal. This is a good time to think about how we will respond to the storms of life that may descend on us in 2015.

To editor Tara, publisher Andrea, staff, and all readers of the Review, my wife Linda and I wish you a New Year of adven-ture, satisfaction and fulfillment.

Conquering fear is the first step for a better future
