The Kobau Koyotes baseball team pose along with the Port Coquitlam Ravens. The Koyotes showed what a � rst class act they are during a tournament in Kelowna on the weekend, and it wasn’t just for their athletic performance on the ball diamond.

They didn’t play in the gold medal game, but a Similkameen baseball team made a bigger impression than any vic-tory on the diamond ever could while at a weekend ball tournament in Kelowna.

The Kobau Koyotes were playing in the under 14 “Spring Sizzle,” a 16 team tournament that involved ball teams from all over the province.

During the � nal game for the bronze medal the Koyotes were playing the Port Coquitlam Ravens when one of the Ravens’ players sustained a knee injury.

“To say it was bad was an under-statement, her screams could be heard through to the stands,” wrote Kelly McLeod of Port Coquitlam, “several

ball moms who were nurses rushed to the � eld trying to make her as comfort-able as possible.”

Both teams became increasingly upset as they waited at length for the ambulance. As the player was taken away her team lined up in a show of solidarity so that she knew they were behind her.

Once the ambulance had taken her away the team was given the option of stopping the game or continuing the game.

“We allowed the girls to decide and they said they ‘would do it for Naola,’”(the player who was injured).

The Ravens were losing the game, McLeod noted, adding that the game was too far along for them to have much liklihood of catching up.

“The girls played the game hard and � nished out,” McLeod continued, “and when the teams lined up for the medal awards to the Kobau Koyotes, two ex-ceptional things happened:

- The tournament director brought out a purple medal and noted that it was reserved for home runs. But what Naola just endured was bigger than any home run.

- As the � rst girl from the Koyotes received her medal, she walked directly up to one of the Raven players, gave them her medal and a hug. This hap-pened one by one.”

The spontaneous team gesture was highly emotional, as “all my girls were crying,” McLeod said. “This show of solidarity rarely hap-pens.” McLeod also called the team, “a class act.”

“We were so shocked by this amaz-ing team.

These are times where girls of this age are capable of being so mean to each other (bullying), and when complete strangers come together to make such a statement of solidarity, it needs to be recognized,” McLeod concluded.

Koyotes receive high praise for team’s behaviour at weekend tournament

news

The B.C. Forest Service oval is probably the most de� nitive symbol of B.C.’s forest service known to the public, having recently celebrated its centennary in 2012.

However, recent changes to provin-cial ministries and a trend towards more generic identi� cation of government ministries and departments is putting pressure on the traditional symbol as an identi� er of provincial forestry depart-ments.

On October 25, 2010, then B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell announced the creation of a new ministry. In a sweeping change affecting the minis-tries of energy and mines, agriculture, environment and forests, a new ministry known as Natural Resource Operations was added to the mix. The new minis-try did not replace the other ministries so much as it assumed several of the more“operational” functions of each of them.

Of all the ministries brought under this “single umbrella” the Forest Ser-vice was the largest. The idea behind the move was to streamline govern-ment and create a “one stop shop” for permitting. In doing so, the function of the Forest Service became more multi-faceted, resulting in a perceived need for a new generic logo that would cover the ministry’s new functions.

As a result, the public has since been seeing a new logo replacing the forest service oval in many former Forest Ser-vice areas - including one which is much more visible to the public in the summer months - that of the Wild� re Manage-ment Branch.

Even though the Wild� re Manage-ment Branch was made a departmental entity unto itself in 1995, the push for a generic identifying symbol appears to be part of the province’s long term plans. The new symbol appears on many of the branch’s new leased vehicles.Wild� re branch of� cials in Penticton would not discuss policy issues with the Review, however, it appears that members of the B.C. wild� re team may feel some

sentiment towards the oval logo, as there appears to be no hurry by branch staff to replace it on wild� re

branch owned vehicles.Kayla Pepper, Fire Information

Of� cer with the Kamloops Fire Centre, Wild� re Management Branch of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural

Resource Operations, told the Review that

“logo policy in place dictates that all new vehicles, stationary and signs used by Wild� re Man-agement Branch will now have the

provincial logo with the sunrise.

The BC Forest Service oval logo with

the tree will remain on all uniforms and apparel.”

The forest service logo’s origins begin around the time of Canadian veterans returning home from the First World War (1914-1918). No one knows who designed the � rst oval, but numerous versions have been created over the years by draughtsmen, mapping assis-tants and technicans who designed such symbols as the forestry oval in order to make a unique statement about the forest service, in addition to provide an identity to those working in the service.

By the late ‘50s the oval had found its way into ministry annual reports, with newer, cleaner versions appearing through the 60s.

There was a brief period in the 70s when the oval was replaced with anoth-er more modern, up to date graphic that was meant to provide greater visibility to the Forest Service, but the traditional oval eventually made its way back onto forestry business cards, documents, vehicles and websites.

The logo remains a stubborn symbol of pride to many in the forest service to-day, especially in wild� re management. Twenty- � ve year sterling silver service pins still bear the oval emblem, and in spite of the fact that the ministries of the Forest Service have undergone a long history of change and integration, the oval symbol has continued to survive.

With provincial of� cial policy on the venerable oval logo now relegating it strictly to clothing, it raises questions as to how much longer the emblem will be allowed to appear on of� cial attire.

If British Columbia’s 100 year old symbol is to last much longer, it may be necessary for members of B.C.s forest industry to look at what recently trans-pired with their American counterparts, and take similar action.

South of the 49th parallel, the U.S. Forest Service has their own iconic logo, established in 1905, which recently faced similar challenges.

The Back Forty, a California based publication centred on environmental, land use and other rural issues, noted in early April this of the U.S. Forest Service logo:

“For many current and past em-ployees, it is (also) a badge of honour, a re� ection of their deep and abiding attachment to their one time or pres-ent day roles as stewards of America’s national forests.”

The article went on to state:In January, the U.S. Department

of Agriculture released its “Visual

standards guide” - a document that contained the following phrase: “agency logos are being phased out and replaced with a standardized signature model to be adopted by all USDA agencies.”

Public backlash against the change - as it applies to the U.S. Forest Service, at least - swiftly followed the Back Forty article.

The April 10 edition of another American west publication, the Missoulian’s lead headline declared “USDA won’t jettison Forest Service shield logo”.

According to the Missoulian, the USDA “quietly introduced a phase out of all its sub agencies’ logos, including the Forest Service’s, to replace them with the USDA symbol.

The policy was kept under wraps to the extent that not even Paci� c North-west forest supervisors were told.

By the time they found out, in retrospect, early in April, the USDA had already decided, in light of ‘virulent opposition from the Forest Service’s ‘Old Smokies” retiree group, to keep the service’s shield intact.

The retiree group had only swung into action in late March - with the intent to � ght for the logo, “no holds barred” because the new policy - os-tensibly in force for three and a half months - wasn’t yet known to people in the � eld.

Ted Stubble� eld, an “Old Smoky” who has been retired since 1999, � rst heard about plans for the shield’s demise from a high level insider in mid March. Once he had con� rmed the news, he began spreading the word to other “Old Smokies.” Stubble� eld noted that he was hearing from retirees who had never commented on an issue prior to this.

“It really got to them. It’s pretty sad for politicians to not really look at the history of something before they discard it,” quoted the Missoulian of Stubble� eld.

An important point raised by the “Old Smokies” con-cerned budget costs. In an era of restraints and tight budgets, why was the USDA intent on spending

millions to replace the shield on uniforms, buildings, vehicles and campgrounds, at a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars?

Finally, the Missoulian noted that the U.S. Forest Service logo was “read-ily recognizable, something that means something to everyone who wears it.”

“It was pretty emo-tional for all of us, I think, to think somebody would treat it with such dis-regard, like so much poster card. It wasn’t going to go down with-out a helluva � ght,” concluded Stubble� eld.

Iconic B.C. forest symbol facing extinctionIs a logo that is one

of the most recognizable

symbols of British Columbia slowly vanishing from public view?

EditorialAccountability is the issue

As the feeding-at-the-trough hijinks of Senator and former journalist Mike Duffy continues to disgust the nation, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation last week continued to remind us that politicians continue to ignore the larger issue at hand - that of accountabil-ity.

Under pressure from the unrelenting media pressure related to the scandals in the Upper House, the Senate board met in public for the first time ever to tighten up the rules related to expense claims.

Now, senators will actually have to produce a receipt for some expenses.

What?That’s right - prior to the “tightening” of

the rules, senators did not have to produce receipts for all expenses.

Similar rules apply to MPs. Canadians need to protest loudly, and im-

mediately - the lack of rules that seem to be based on some kind of archaic, elitist notion that people appointed to these positions are somehow more honourable or trustworthy than the rest of the unwashed masses.

The CTF is currently calling for the Harp-er government to pass the Private Members Bill by MP John Williamson, (Conservative – New Brunswick Southwest).

The bill, entitled The Protecting Taxpayers and Revoking Pensions of Convicted Politi-cians Act, would take away the Parliamentary pension from any MP or senator convicted of a serious crime, including stealing from taxpayers.

It looks like the Duffy case has exposed a raw nerve within the Canadian public. That’s good - we hope the publicity and pressure continues - until Duffy is gone from the sen-ate for good, and accountability is forced upon everyone who has access to public funds.

One of Premier Christy Clark’s first tasks of the new term will be to resume trade talks with Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Several daunting tasks await. Clark must repair relations with Alberta Premier Alison Redford after B.C.’s theatrics over oil pipelines before the elec-tion, and prepare for the results of a federal environ-mental review of the En-bridge Northern Gateway proposal in the fall.

Some people were surprised on Friday when the B.C. government released its final written submission to the federal environmental review panel on Northern Gateway. It was widely interpreted as B.C.’s outright rejection of the project, but it’s not as simple as that.

Clark and B.C. Environ-ment Minister Terry Lake signalled several times before the election that they were not getting the answers they wanted from

Enbridge. But they stuck to the principle that the hear-ings must be completed.

The NDP repeated for months that the B.C. Liberal government had forfeited its own review and handed jurisdiction over the environmental assess-ment to Ottawa. In fact, a pipeline that runs across two provinces is by defini-tion a matter of federal jurisdiction. B.C. could have held its own parallel set of hearings, which was the NDP’s stated prefer-ence, but in no circum-stance does the province have a veto. And both the B.C. Liberal government and Enbridge were careful to leave the door open for further talks.

A closer reading of their comments shows that the key difference at this stage is one of timing.

“The panel must determine if it is appropri-ate to grant a certificate for the project as currently proposed on the basis of a promise to do more study and planning after the certificate is granted,” Lake said. “Our government does not believe that a cer-

tificate should be granted before these important questions are answered.”

According to Enbridge executive Janet Holder, those important questions can’t all be answered until the hearings are over. The company maintains that every river crossing and spill response plan can’t be done in detail during the two-year hearings.

B.C.’s final submission runs to nearly 100 pages. It goes into detail on the inconsistencies and unan-swered questions on such vital topics as whether diluted bitumen can sink in water.

In short, the province argues that it can sink if the oil is in fresh water, or if it is exposed to weathering so lighter fractions evapo-rate, or if it is mixed with sediments that increase its density.

These are pertinent con-ditions if heavy oil were to leak into a river in spring-time, when water runs fast and cold and brown with sediment. Then there are the obstacles presented by responding to a spill in remote wilderness and

heavy snow.Given both provincial

and aboriginal opposi-tion in B.C., the Enbridge pipeline is unlikely to be imposed, and last week Conservative cabinet minis-ter James Moore clearly ruled that out. The B.C. government has consis-tently maintained that the current project does not meet Clark’s often-repeated five conditions, including the vaguely defined “fair share” of revenues, and Moore said the federal government agrees with those conditions.

The B.C. government has to face some other uncomfortable realities as well. If heavy oil pipelines are such a risk, how does B.C. manage the one that has stretched across remote and populated areas for 60 years?

Does the government take a stand against new pipelines, and then watch as rail cars full of heavy oil cross those same rivers? No permit is required for that, and in fact there are more hazardous materials than oil moving by rail and road across the province today.

A number of Keremeos municipal taxpayers may have paid an additional $25 on their sewer bill due to an error by the village of� ce.

Keremeos resident Dar-lene Sutton told the Review Friday that she had writ-ten a post dated cheque for September 30, 2012, for her sewer payment in the order of $235.

A few days after the cheque’s due date, Sutton realized the cheque hadn’t yet cleared her bank ac-count. Her husband, Ted, went to the village of� ce to inquire about the payment, and was told that the village would look into the mat-ter. The following day, the Suttons were told that the cheque did not get depos-ited to the bank due to an oversight on the part of the village.

The Suttons’ cheque eventually cleared on Octo-

ber 11 - late for the payment - through no fault of their own. However, when this year’s municipal assessment arrived, Darlene noticed that the bill contained a penalty for $23.50 - for late payment of sewer fees.

It took the Suttons a week to get back to the vil-lage about the error, as they were looking after family matters in the Lower Main-land.

Ted returned to the vil-lage of� ce, only to be told that he would need proof that the Suttons had paid the bill on time - which meant another trip back home to retrieve the bill. Finally, upon viewing their latest statement from the village, the Suttons noticed that the balance still showed the penalty - so back to the village of� ce to get that cor-rected.

In the past few days, Sutton said that she has run into several people who claim that they had a late payment fee deducted. Keremeos resident Eleanor “Bundie” Page experienced a similar issue after hearing Sutton’s story.

“I had sent a post dated cheque for sewer payment as well,” she told the Re-view. “If Darlene hadn’t told me about it, I wouldn’t

have noticed the late pay-ment fee.”

Both parties wondered how many other Keremeos ratepayers were unfairly penalized, urging those who sent post dated cheques to the village for their sewage notice to check their bill for late payment charges.

The Review asked Kere-meos Chief Administrative Of� cer Laurie Taylor in an email sent May 31, and again on June 3 and 4 ask-ing why there was such a long delay in acting on the matter and how many vil-lage residents were affected. She had this to say about the problem on June 3:

“Apparently there was a glitch in posting the pen-alty on the outstanding sewer bills last fall and that problem has taken time to � x. Staff had already been working on the necessary corrections and adjustments prior to the issue being raised by the residents. At the time Mrs. Sutton brought it to our attention, the adjustments had not been posted to the affected tax accounts as we needed to ensure the problem had been corrected. The adjust-ments have now been posted and we are con� dent the issue has been resolved.”

Keremeos residents pay un-warranted late payment fee Post dated cheques to Village of Keremeos for sewer services not deposited to bank in time, ratepayers subjected to late fee

letters

To the Editor: Open letter to Linda Larson First of all I want to congratulate you

on becoming the representative for Bound-ary-Similkameen constituency.

I attended the all-candidates’ forum in Keremeos and questioned you about the Buy BC program which was cancelled almost immediately after the Liberals won power. This program was brought in under an NDP government in 1993 and was very popular in this area.

I see that the Liberal government has a program called Buy Local. I think that’s a great idea but the Liberal government is not following its own guidelines.

I understand that the residents of Orchard Haven are eating food that comes from a big food conglomerate in Vernon. We have a thriving little agricultural val-

ley right here in the Similkameen. The residents could be eating food picked that very day. Instead they get frozen meals that have to be transported for many kilometers and then reheated. I find this practice ap-palling.

How on earth does that make sense? Not nutritionally, certainly not environ-mentally, and not community-wise in any way.

I hope you will advocate for our area in this respect. Jobs are important but where they are is also important. Small communi-ties can use all the help they can get and more jobs at home would be an excellent start. Ours is an agricultural community with many extremely good growers. Where does Vernon get the food that is prepared there to be sent here?

Sincerely, Donna Stocker, Cawston

To the Editor:For many in Hedley, the issue isn’t simply

a yes or no to cell service. The range of cell service is still undetermined based on the site location – we know it won’t have a wide breadth, and the two other poles erected along Highway 3 will likely service many residents around Hedley. The site location of the monopole in Hedley’s downtown is being contested by many town folk for a number of reasons.

Originally, Telus’ only site choice was cen-tral Main Street (Scott Avenue); the mono-pole would obstruct the existing sightlines of the Mascot Mine from the Hedley Museum, the vista of the mountains, and would cer-tainly detract from the old-timey feel that makes Hedley a magical place to many.

Finally, the proposed site and proximity to its neighbours poses health concerns to some. Telus has options to the site location of the monopole; Telus could explore the op-tion to co-locate with China Creek’s facility which transmits an internet signal into town from across the Similkameen River. Indus-try Canada suggests that co-location should always be considered.

In February, after the Telus/StandardLand open house in Hedley, Telus/StandardLand

gave concerned Hedley residents a “take it or leave it attitude” in regards to their concerns. All along, Ms. Wood requested Telus to honor the standards set forth in the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association best-practices guidelines and to follow pro-tocols – including examining the potential of co-locating before new sites are developed and requesting more time to address the con-cerns of her constituents and to find solutions in order to bring service to Hedley.

For those who seek the information, this dialogue between Wood and Telus working toward bringing cell service to Hedley is ongoing.

When Elef Christensen and his cronies threw down a petition at the RDOS board meeting (May 23) and expected immediate action which would compromise the exist-ing negotiations, they demonstrated a dark side of democracy energized on personal vendetta.

Ms. Wood is doing an excellent job engag-ing with the citizens of Hedley and Olalla and taking on issues as they present themselves: just watch her take on giant corporations like Telus and Fortis on our behalf.

Kim & Andy English, Hedley, B.C.

To the Editor: I just received a letter from Ms. Wood,

Area “G” Director regarding cell service for Hedley, dated May 27. She has suggested alternative sites which are being considered and investigated by Telus.

According to Telus Media Relations rep-resentative Shawn Hall, an alternative site would be too prohibitive to make another location viable. It was also confirmed by Eric Sieto of CHBC news that Telus is not looking at other site locations.

Director Wood stated in the Review May 30 that she has been working with Telus gen-eral manager for some time to consider other options, and in the next few weeks engineers will be out in the field (would that be corn or grass fields) looking at the possibilities of co-locating their hardware on existing sites that already service Hedley. According to Ms. Wood’s “magic wand” and self centred agenda, residents will be receiving cell service without the erection of a monopole in the downtown core.

According to her RDOS bio, Ms. Wood supports Similkameen wide sustainable busi-ness, cultural and tourism strategies. Try

selling a house when the buyer will not have smart phone or I phone coverage.

The last three buyers to purchase a home in Hedley have signed the petition for cell phone service.

I would also like to point out that the “nay” petition had mostly post office box numbers without their area locations as well as children that were also on this list of 49 against cell phone service.

Malcolm McNaughton, RDOS Planner, apparently scrutinized only the “yes” petition and not the “nay” petition that Ms. Wood presented to the board of directors in March.

Could it possibly be that Mr. McNaugh-ton had “negative” guidance in response to the “yes” petition that was presented at the May 16 directors meeting.

One last item in Ms. Woods RDOS bio is “promoting even better and more innovative use of yard waste and recycling, which was closed down last year as it became a fire haz-ard; so now, with no contingency plan, there will be no yard waste pick up in all of Area “G” until September 20.

news

Controversy continues to swirl in Hedley over a proposed siting of a Telus cellular tower.

A number of Hedley residents have recently signed a petition urging re-gional district endorsement of a Telus proposal to erect a monopole in the centre of town, criticizing Hedley Director Angelique Wood for her insistance that Telus consider other possible locations for the tower.

A recent news story by CHBC reporter Eric Szeto added to the controversy last week when his news clip included Telus Media Relations representative Shawn Hall’s comments regarding Telus’ plans to study alternative locations. In the telephone interview, Hall insisted that Telus was

not moving ahead with any plans for cellular service in the community.

However, that commu-nication appears to directly contradict a May 23 tele-phone conversation be-tween Director Wood and Telus Customer Solutions General Manager Steve Jenkins, who told Woods that Telus had reviewed the Hedley issue and would have a � eld assessment done towards the latter part of the last week of May.

He further told Wood that an original assessment with respect to co-locating on a nearby China Creek tower didn’t meet Telus’ specs for structural and architectural capabilities, however, the � eld assess-ment would look at it and other alternatives.

Neither Steve Jenkins or Shawn Hall were available for comment at presstime.

The regional dis-trict provided a let-ter of concurrence to Industry Canada for a proposed com-munication tower in

the Similkameen at the May 16 regular board meeting.

Telus proposes to build a 40 metre high tower on prop-

erty currently owned by Central City Foundation, located at 3865 Highway 3, approximately 8.5 kilometres west of

Keremeos.The letter of

concurrence is part of a consultation process Industry Canada requires

of proponents. The tower would be lo-cated approximately three metres from the shoulder of the highway.

health

As the title of this article implies, what you consume immediately following your workout is almost as impor-tant as the workout itself. Every time you exercise, you deplete a significant amount of your stored muscle glycogen (carbohydrates) as well as your amino acid pool, and the stress of that exercise breaks down and damages your muscle cells. The good news is that those muscle cells grow bigger and stronger (provided they are properly nourished) so they can better handle that stress in the future. However, the effects of exercise are quite catabolic. You drain your fuel supplies, you eat up the circulating protein in your system, you distress your muscle cells and depending on the intensity of the activity, you may burn some muscle tissue for energy along the way. Additionally, the adrenal hormone cortisol is released. Although an important hormone, it is the bad guy in athletics because it assists in the conversion of existing muscle tissue into fuel. All this adds up to a highly catabolic environment that breaks down, burns up and empties your reserves. Making the transition from that exercise induced depleted state to one of recovery, repair and growth is the tricky part. Fortunately, a wonderful window of opportunity presents itself right at the time we need refuelling the most. For an hour or so after a workout your body’s ability to absorb and utilize nutrients is exceptionally high. With a well-timed protein shake following a workout, you not only replenish and refuel yourself, you also shift gears from the catabolic environment an anabolic one that begins the growth, recovery and repair process. This high absorption window of opportunity is short lived. If you do not reload during that first critical hour, chances are you will linger in a catabolic state for hours. A protein shake, ideally consumed within 30 minutes after exercise containing both good quality carbohy-drates and a high biological value protein source is the simple solution. The obvious combination is a fruit juice based shake or smoothie that includes whey protein. This type of shake is quickly and easily digested (much quicker than solid food) and almost immediately initiates the recovery process. Not only do the carbohydrates replenish your glycogen stores, they also encourage the release of insulin, which plays a significant role in the transportation and uptake of the pro-tein in your shake. As far as protein powder, a clean high quality whey protein concentrate is a sensible choice, but if your budget permits it, you can’t beat cross flow microfiltered whey protein isolate. It has both an outstanding protein percentage and biological value, two important considerations. Feel free to add other ingredients and nutritional supplements to your post workout shakes. Creatine, glutamine, and flax seed oil are all valuable additions. Remember, your workout really isn’t over when you put down that last dumbbell or step off the treadmill; it’s when you unplug and put away your blender.

WORLD DIABETES DAYWorld Diabetes Day is on November 14. Diabetes is recognized as a world epidemic. The number of people that will be diag-nosed with Type II diabetes is expected to rise dramatically over the next few years. By controlling our weight, exercising, we can have a great effect on our chances of getting the disease.

FOOT HEALTH & DIABETESIf you are a diabetic already, do you check your feet daily? Dia-betics often lose nerve sensitivity in their legs and feet. Note particularly any breaks in the skin to prevent any infection from occurring. It’s also extremely important to wear good comfort-able shoes.

RISK FACTORS FOR DIABETESPeople who are overweight are at a greater risk of becoming diabetic. If you want to lose weight, start by setting a realistic goal. Losing only 10% of your current body weight can go a long way to reduce your risk of heart disease, high blood pres-sure, osteoporosis and of course diabetes. No time like the pres-ent to start.

SIGNS OF DIABETESMany Canadians have diabetes and don’t know it. Here are some of the signs of diabetes; frequent urination, fatigue, exces-sive thirst, change in vision and tingling or lack of sensation in feet and legs. Once diagnosed, diabetes is very controllable. See your doctor if you are feeling these symptoms and particu-larly if there is a diabetes history in your family.

Our pharmacy has a complete selection of diabetic supplies. Combine that with all the diabetic knowledge possessed by our pharmacists, we are your Diabetes Centre.

Many of the fair trade certified fruits available in Canada and the USA come from Central and South America. Dis-covery Organics out of Vancouver, B.C. buy as much fair trade produce as they can. They have built up relationships with the farmers they buy from. They travel to Central and South America several times a year, to stay in contact but also to work with them on the many projects Discovery Organics has with their producers. Discovery is all about the people. What fair trade and equality stands for runs deep in this company. Check out their website; www.discovery-organics.caEquicosta in Quebec is another company that brings in fair trade certified bananas. They are a mother-daughter team that are set in their belief in fair trade. They bring fair trade certified fruits to Quebec and Ontario. They would like to bring all the fair trade fruits available, to Canada. But the demand has to be there. For that, consumers have to be aware. Aware of the situation of farmers in developing countries and how you as a consumer can change your shop-ping habits that is beneficial to them. Equicosta’s website; www.equicosta.com There are many plantations owned by large corporate companies. DelMonte, Dole and Chiquita being amongst the largest. The workers work 10 to 12 hour days, six to seven days a week. No vacation time, long days and more often than we’d like to mention, unsafe working conditions. Many do not wear any type of protective clothing when the fruit is sprayed for pesticides. The fruit is normally sprayed from the air while many workers are in the fields alongside the fruit trees.Less than 1% of the bananas sold in Canada are fair trade certified. The other fruits available with fair trade certifica-tion have even lower sales. It is up to us to make a difference. We are the only ones that can.There are so many great fair trade fruits and juices available these days. It is us, the consumer that simply has to demand it from stores and their buyers. We want to make a difference to those less fortunate. What is more easy than by purchasing their fair trade certified products, we can easily making a huge impact on the lives of so many in impoverished countries.On average a fair trade product will cost you about 12-18% more than the same product that is not fair trade. A regu-lar Chiquita banana could cost 30 cents a piece, and a fair trade banana would cost you 35 cents. A small difference to pay, but the difference in impact between a fair trade and a non fair trade banana is huge. The impact on the lives of farmers and their families is immense. The same calculation can be made on virtually every fair trade fruit.Someone that I talked to last week said, trade not aid, that’s what fair trade is about. Trade not aid. Buy fair trade!Fair trade means fairness. Producers have been treated fairly. They have received a fair price and they have been treat-ed with respect and dignity. No child slavery or human trafficking. And we, the consumer are ensured that sustainable farming is being practised and that the environment and its best interest are taken to heart. For more information on fair trade, please check out Fair Trade Canada’s website. www.fairtrade.caFair trade: You can’t afford not to!Flavia’s Bio: Flavia Aarden-Kilger is a gemmologist and people manager. After working in the jewellery and diamond industry for 15 years, she got into fair trade by chance. Her experience in the jewellery industry has taken her to Asia where she has given jewel-lery workshops to Tibetan refugees and producers in New Delhi and Nepal so that their jewellery could be sold in thousands of stores in Europe and North America according to western standards. While living in Europe, Flavia has been a frequent speaker at highschools, universities and EU initiatives advocating fair trade. Working for Fair Trade Brokers, which imports fair trade certified food products and fair trade certified fruit juices to Canada, she is heavily involved in spreading the fair trade word. She is also involved in setting fair trade standards for the jewellery industry via the Madison Dialogue. Originally from the Fraser Val-ley, Flavia now lives outside of Penticton in the Similkameen Valley, located in beautiful British Columbia.

COOL DOWN A BURNWhen you burn your skin, the damage continues to occur until you can cool down the area of the burn. Best advice is to immerse the burned area in cold water (no ice) for at least 15 minutes. You’ll find this reduces the pain as well.

ALTERNATIVE TO DEETPeople looking for an alternative to DEET as an insect repellant might look for products containing icaridin. It is effective against mosquitoes, black flies and ticks and is available as a pump spray, aerosol spray and towelettes. It is safe for adults and children over the age of 6 months. Examples of brands containing this include Deep Woods and Avon.

SARDINES GOOD SOURCE OF CALCIUMLooking for a good source of calcium in food. Try sardines. Two ounces of this little fish provides 240 mg of calcium because you are eating the fine bones of the fish. Sardines also contain significant amounts of vitamins D and B-12 and omega-3 fatty acids.

MEDICATION EXPIRY DATESExpiry dates on medication have a little leeway. They don’t lose all thier potency on the day of expiration. But there’s once medication you want to be sure is “in date” and that is your EpiPen. The EpiPen is kept on hand by people with very serious allergies and can save lives. If you have an EpiPen, check the date. If it’s close to expiration, get a new one.

If you have any questions about the EpiPen or other medications used to treat allergies, talk to our pharmacists. We’d be happy to share our knowledge.

On May 10, those lucky enough to be in Northern Australia or in the Southern Paci� c Ocean got a treat. They saw the Moon pass in front of the Sun, covering most of the solar disc, except for the outer edge, form-ing for a minute or so a � ery ring in the sky. These events are known as “annular eclipses”. Annulus is Latin for “ring”.

We on Earth enjoy something unique in the Solar System and maybe even in the Universe. In our skies the Moon looks the same size as the Sun. Of course the Sun is enormously larger than the Moon, but it is by some strange cosmic coincidence proportionally further away. Also, because the orbits of

the Earth around the Sun and the Moon around the Earth lie almost in the same plane, the Moon sometimes moves between us and the Sun, block-ing it out, giving us an “eclipse of the Sun”. When the bright, solar disc is covered, we get to see parts of the Sun usually lost

in the glare. We see prominences – great arches of glowing gas supported in mag-netic � elds, and the pearly streamers of the solar corona, gas so hot, millions of degrees, that it emits little light. Astrono-mers � ock to eclipses to make observations that are impossible at any other time.

There are two is-sues that make these events rarer. Firstly, the Moon’s path around the Earth is elliptical, not circular, so its distance from us varies. When the Moon is at its closest it blocks out the solar disc and some of the surrounding sky, so we get longer eclipses but might not see the solar structures at the edge of the bright disc quite as well.

However, when the Moon is at its far-thest point from us it is too small in our sky to completely cover the solar disc, so we don’t get to see those interesting structures in the solar atmo-sphere. What we see then is fascinating but not as scienti� cally useful. The middle part of the solar disc is covered, leaving the edge, as that glow-ing ring those lucky enough to be in the right place saw on May 10.

This brings us to the other downside of our solar eclipses. Because the Moon looks almost exactly the same size as the Sun in our sky, there is only a tiny bit of the Earth’s surface where we see the Sun completely covered. Because the Moon is moving in its orbit, this tiny spot of shadow moves across the Earth’s surface forming the eclipse track. Observers go to points on the track, set up their instruments, and wait for the Moon’s shadow to pass over them. This will take around two minutes.

Solar eclipses hap-pen when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth.

Another possibility is for the Earth to pass between the Moon and Sun. When this happens, the Earth’s shadow falls on the Moon. However, the Earth is nearly four times the diameter of the Moon, so we look much larger in the Moon’s sky than it looks in ours. Our shadow is much larger, so the Moon takes much longer to pass through it: hours rather than minutes. We would expect this to render the Moon completely dark, but our atmo-sphere bends sunlight around the curve of the Earth and onto the Moon. If our atmosphere is clean, the Moon looks a lovely copper colour; on the other hand, if it is particularly polluted, the Moon will look a dull, ashy, grey.

Venus and Mercu-ry lie low in the west after sunset. Jupiter is lost in the glare. Sat-urn is in the southern sky overnight. The Moon will be New on the 8th.

Cosmic Shadows

The grade 4 classes of Cawston Primary School were amongst the � rst to swim in Keremeos municipal pool on Monday, June 3. The youngsters seemed oblivious to the cool, poolside breeze that was part of the morning weather. Instructors Hannah Vesper, Cody Turple and Nicky Lawrence provided direction to the students.

On his � rst day at Burnaby’s Sec-ond Street elementary as a six-year-old, Clarence “Buzz” Henshaw and his brothers “stood in the toilet stall and � ushed the toilet just to watch the water go down,” he recalled.

Same with the light switches. They were the push-button type back in 1933 and they pushed the lights on and off, on and off.

“ T h e t e a c h e r s made us stop,” said Henshaw, 86, with a laugh.

After all, back then the Henshaw family lived on a farm close to where the freeway is now where they had no running water or electricity.

Those were among the memories Hen-shaw shared with students at Second Street school last Fri-day at its 43rd annual pioneer tea. Girl stu-dents wearing pio-neer dresses served tea and baking while other schoolkids vis-ited with the seniors, among them former students and teach-ers, grandparents and even great-grandpar-ents.

Raymond Beaton, 82, started Grade 1 there in 1937 (there was no kindergarten in those days) and said the wood � oors were all oiled back then.

“Every time I smell that particu-lar smell it takes me back to Second Street school,” Beaton recalled.

By then, the school was already on its second building, operating as a four-room school for grades 1 to 6 in an area surrounded by bush.

Of course, early school memories vary for each individual.

Beaton recalled being bullied in-cessantly in Grade 5 but after pick-ing up boxing tips from a movie he punched his tormentor in the face and “he never bothered me again.”

And there was the � rst time he got the strap. It was only his second-ever day of school and it was because he didn’t bring in a picture of an

aster � ower as he’d been instructed, despite him having no idea what one looked like and no way to look it up in those pre-Internet days.

Those bad memories were tem-pered by ones of a Miss Totten, who was never his teacher but was willing to chat with him when he’d visit after school. “She was a refuge teacher,” Beaton said. “It’s a very pleasant memory.”

Retired teacher Jeanette Stevens (née Brue) only taught one year at Second Street, 1971 to 1972, but it was her � rst year of having her own class.

Along with being on probation as a new teacher, having her class located right next door to the prin-

cipal’s of� ce did nothing to reduce any nerves.

Teachers were required to say the Lord’s Prayer and do Bible readings daily, and attendance � gures had to balance between those absent and present.

“At the end of the year you had to balance and you couldn’t leave until you balanced,” Stevens said with a laugh, adding there were no photo-copiers. Copies of report cards had to be produced using carbon paper.

For the past � ve years Henshaw has made the trip to Burnaby and the pioneer tea from his home in Keremeos, B.C. a five-hour drive away.

His two granddaughters attend the school, but otherwise Henshaw says he just enjoys sharing his mem-ories of what the school was like in the 1930s with today’s kids.

Living on a farm, he and his brothers woke at just after 5 a.m. and did an hour’s worth of chores before making the one-hour trek to school on old logging roads.

“We’d run into the odd bear and deer,” he said. The bears were “as scared of us as we were of them. They’d run one way and we ran the other.”

On rainy days they’d arrive soaked and the woman janitor, Mrs. Atkin-son, was kind enough to take their wet clothes and hang them in the furnace room so they’d be dry by the time they had to head home.

Using a wagon, some mornings they’d deliver milk, eggs, cream and butter to homes on the way to

school and pick up the empty bottles and payment on the way home.

R e c e s s c o n -sisted of softball and football games and in the spring, marbles. The prin-cipal, Mrs. Potkins, “quite often would get down on her knees and get into a game of marbles with us. She always won,” Henshaw said with a laugh. “You always let the principal win.”

The big events of the year were Christmas festivi-ties and May Day with kids compet-ing in the maypole dances at Queen’s Park in New West-m i n s t e r. W h e n

asked how they’d compete, he stated simply, “who was doing the best dances, some would get all tangled up.”

For Henshaw, one of his proud-est moments was when his Grade 6 peers elected him to be “junior for-est warden” to represent the school at forestry camp where kids were taught how to � ght forest � res, an important skill when neighbour-hoods were still mainly brush and trees. He returned to school and shared his newfound knowledge with his schoolmates.

When he visits with today’s students, Henshaw always comes away with the same feeling: “I wish I was young again. I look at these kids, to be their age and to live life over again,” he said before em-phasizing, “In my era, not today’s era.”

It seems obvious that the best way to achieve your financial and retirement goals is having access to sound financial advice grounded in a comprehen-sive financial plan. Among other things, financially advised households are twice as likely to save for retirement at all ages; have significantly higher levels of investable assets at all ages; improve their regular saving for retirement at all income levels; rate themselves as more financially knowledgeable; and are more comfortable making the financial decisions they need to make to plan for their future.*

Recent research* on the financial situation of Canadians, our savings and investment behavior, and our attitudes toward retirement and savings advice has demonstrated the significant value of delivering financial advice to the public, at all income and asset levels::

◘Advice has a positive and significant impact on financial assets.

◘Advisors perform tasks vital in the financial lives of their clients including improved financial literacy, developing a culture of savings and investment, developing and executing a financial plan, select-ing appropriate financial vehicles and products and improving investment decision-making.

◘Advice positively impacts retirement readiness.◘Canadians trust their advisors, feel positive

toward them, and feel more confident they will have enough money to retire comfortably.

A comprehensive financial plan should include investment planning, cash flow planning, educa-tion planning, estate planning, insurance planning, retirement planning, and income tax planning – and here’s the key - to be successful, your plan must be tailored to you. It makes sense to seek the advice of a financial advisor who will take you through this six-step planning process:

1. Goal setting – to define and prioritize your goals and concerns.

2. Data gathering – gathering all the pertinent financial information to understand your current financial situation.

3. Financial analysis – analysing the data to determine whether you are on track to achieve your financial life goals, and to identify alternative strate-gies to achieve those goals. This includes a review of how to reduce your taxes; whether you’ll have enough income to cover your retirement expenses; and strategies for protecting your family and income

The tangible benefits of financial advice

should you become disabled or die unexpectedly.4. Plan formulation and recommendations – devel-

oping a written financial plan which contains recommen-dations and an action plan for achieving your financial goals and improving your overall financial life.

5. Plan implementation – taking action to implement the solutions that have been agreed upon.

6. Monitoring and plan review – financial planning is not a one time event. You should review your plan regularly, ideally at least annually or as major life events occur.

These six straightforward steps are a great start on building your personal financial plan. Be sure you get the advice you need by talking to a financial advisor with the team, qualifications and tools you can count on.
