Service with a smile: Gagan Lasser and Amrit Dhaliwal put � nishing touches on a freshly washed car at Fas Gas last week. The Similkameen El-ementary Secondary School’s 2014-15 grad class was too busy fundraising for grad activities on September 1, to think about school, as they spent a good part of the day hosting a car wash at Fas Gas. Students appear to be keeping busy in the Lower Similkameen as the teachers strike continues into its second week.

� is year the village has received numerous complaints about the presence of transient farm workers on the land owned by BC Transporta-tion Financing Authority (BCTFA) located on Veterans Avenue south of the sewer treatment plant. � e land is currently held under a Li-cense of Occupation by the Regional District Okanagan Similkameen for a regional trail.

� is limits the village’s ability to address the complaints.

� e village has been working with the RDOS since June to come up with solutions. As of September 4 we have received con� rmation from the RDOS that they would not oppose an application from the Village of Keremeos to assume the license of Crown land, known as the Northern Burlington Railway within the Vil-lage of Keremeos. Village sta� have contacted BCTFA for the assumption of the licence and we expect a preliminary response from them early next week. � e purpose of the trail will not change but the change in the licence will give the village the authority to enforce the prohibition of camping. Unfortunately it will

take a few weeks to have the legal documents completed, but we would like to assure our residents that we are making this matter a high priority with BCTFA.

In the meantime the village will be hiring a contractor to clean up the bush area on the southeast portion of the property that has been used by the campers as washroom facilities. � e RDOS has agreed to pay half of the clean-up costs and half the costs for the dumpster.

� e village is also looking for long term solutions that will prevent camping in envi-ronmentally sensitive areas like river beds and shore lines where the water has receded. � e mayor is meeting with various ministries on this matter at the end of September.

Even though Fortis has shelved its proposal to build a hydroelectric dam on the Similkameen River, a local politician for the area isn’t ready yet to breathe a sigh of relief.

The utility company announced in a press release last week it will not move forward with the project “at this time,” but left the door open to restart it later.

“It’s not cancelled, it’s not put on hold for a year, it’s just out there floating in the ether,” said Brad Hope, who represents rural Princeton on the board of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen.

While not critical of the proposal itself, which was launched in earnest last year with the company’s applica-tion to the B.C. government for an investigative-use permit, Hope had been outspoken on the need for more information about how the project would affect residents.

“I’ve yet to hear what the great benefit was for the Similkameen Val-

ley,” he said.“We’re back to wait-and-see, but

we’ve been that way for 15 years, I think, since Princeton Light and Power first came forward with the concept.

“And I guess that’s why it’s a bit frustrating, because it has been a long time and lots of discussions and it just seemed there was never much that was firm.”

Fortis spokeswoman Grace Pickell said it was purely a “business deci-sion” that led the company to pull the plug for now.

“It was based on the economic and engineering studies we had conducted so far, and so we’re not pursuing the project at this time. But if market con-ditions did change, there’s a potential we would take another look at it,” she explained.

Pickell would not elaborate on which market conditions would need to change to revive the project, although the dam was expected to generate revenue through both power production and benefits from flow control downstream in the U.S. from its water storage ability.

Just hours before Fortis announced publicly last week that it had shelved the project, company officials met behind closed doors with the RDOS board.

When the meeting was reopened to the public, Allan Patton, the director for rural Oliver, urged Fortis to create a conservation fund if, and when, it jolts the dam project back to life.

“We should look at, and budget for, in terms of providing for some kind of benefit to the regional district or the local valley — Similkameen Valley in particular,” he said.

The company’s representatives agreed such a fund could be consid-ered along with other input costs if the project is revisited.

In January, Fortis was granted a two-year investigative use permit to explore the feasibility of the dam near the Copper Mountain Mine site about 15 kilometres south of Princeton.

According to Fortis’s land tenure application, the dam would have been up to 200 metres tall, 477 metres long, and created a 750-hectare reservoir behind it to help it generate 45 to 65 megawatts of electricity.

EditorialRiver trail provides multiple recreational experiences

To those who appreciate the river, Fortis Inc.’s decision last week to suspend their feasibility study into a dam on the Similkameen’s upper reaches provided a reason to celebrate - for now at least, the river will remain the jewel it is.

The American portion of the river is distinctly different and worth getting to know as well.

An interesting way to get in touch with the river’s lower reaches is to take a bike ride up the Similkameen Trail. It’s about five or six kilometres of restored Great Northern railway line originating behind the Oroville, WA post office and continuing upstream almost to the Enloe Dam.

It’s a very scenic ride, and an easy one, well worth the trip if one is camping in the Oroville area and looking for something to do for a couple of hours. At one per cent, the grade is easy, except for a por-tion near the bridge crossing the Similkameen (the Girder Bridge) where the trail wanders away from the original right of way for a short distance.

On a recent September day, fishermen were strung out along the canyon, people were sunning and bathing on the sandy stretches, including a couple of prospectors on the trail who were in the process of hauling their gold dredge out of the river.

The trail was also being used by locals who were hiking and jogging along its length.

The Similkameen Trail follows the south side of the river, about 100 feet or so above it. The views are scenic and many park benches have been set up to allow users a chance to rest and enjoy the view. It’s a great way to see this part of the river, which isn’t always easy to view on the road that runs between Oroville and Nighthawk.

On this side of the line, the regional district is working with local residents to extend the village trail south to Cawston, while below the border, plans are also being developed to extend their section of the trail through to Nighthawk. Will the two ends ever meet? It’s easy to see why that might be the goal, once one has experienced what has been created so far.

The B.C. Teachers’ Fed-eration’s latest demand, for binding arbitration on se-lected pocketbook issues of its members, is going nowhere.

This follows months of the union’s insistence on mediation. First a B.C. Su-preme Court judge met with both sides and walked away. Then the BCTF’s preferred choice, Vince Ready, agreed that mediation won’t fix the current version of the mess he last examined in 2007.

BCTF president Jim Iker announced the arbitration gambit on Friday, in one of the webcasts he uses to rally the union’s exhausted mem-bership. Education Minister Peter Fassbender replied that with five minutes’ no-tice to the government’s chief negotiator and lacking specifics on what would be subject to arbitration, the proposal would forfeit the government’s mandate to control costs.

“This government will

not raise taxes in order to provide a settlement to one union that does not reflect what the other public sector has done,” Fassbender said.

In short, there will be a negotiated settlement, eventually. The union chose to begin the strike, and now must find a way to end it.

The government’s posi-tion in this dispute is un-like any of the many that preceded it. And it points the way to an evolution of education that cannot be stopped.

The announcement of a $40-a-day payment for days lost during a fall strike for children under 13 was greet-ed with scorn by the BCTF and its echo chambers. Par-ents won’t be bribed, they want school, not daycare, it’s an insult, went the refrain.

Before the first week of the fall strike was over, nearly two thirds of eligible parents had enrolled, faced with pickets at their schools and real and mounting child care and tutoring costs. The union executive, collecting their hefty salaries while teachers do without even

token strike pay, said mem-bers who are parents should refuse the money.

Some B.C. teachers have begun advertising tutor-ing services online. With distance learning and other online education options expanding in all 60 public school districts, the digi-tal revolution is unfolding quickly.

The B.C. government made a couple of announce-ments in April, one about moving to digital versions of textbooks and another about a digital merger of 1,600 school libraries with public and post-secondary schools. Growth of options accelerates.

Largely drowned out by the noise of 1970s-style industrial labour strife, the B.C. public school curricu-lum is being refashioned for this new age. Among its goals is to “allow teachers and students the flexibility to personalize their learning experience to better meet each student’s individual strengths and needs.”

One of B.C.’s early mod-els for self-directed learning

is Thomas Haney second-ary in Maple Ridge, where senior high students are expected to make their own way through course work, learning to manage their own time.

It was here that the first couple of Grade 12 students showed up last week to be-gin making up for lost time from the strike that set in last spring. Self-directed study has become a crash course.

Private schools are also swamped with applications from Grade 12 students looking for particular cours-es they will need by next year.

In the short term, Fass-bender says the lost strike days will likely have to be restored to the school sched-ule.

“Do you put it on at the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are look-ing at all of the options,” Fassbender said.

In the longer term, the whole factory model of school is on the way out.

Factory model fading for province’s schoolsBy Tom Fletcher Black Press


news

Similkameen Elementary Secondary School teachers Boyd Turnbull and Sherry Phillpot - Adhikary accept a donation of apples from Keremeos resident Sunny Black - Luthier on Monday, September 8. The teachers continue to picket as the strike progresses through week two of the school year.


Similkameen Elementary Secondary School teachers re-turned to the picket lines just prior to the September long weekend on Thursday and Fri-day August 28 and 29, returning again after Labour Day for four days before relinquishing their positions for a study session on Friday, September 5.

On Monday, September 8, five teachers were stationed in front of SESS as the strike en-tered week 12, including the first full week of this year’s school year.

On Monday morning, the teachers were expressing hope that a union vote scheduled for Wednesday regarding the union’s proposal to take their dispute with the province to binding arbitration would pass.

“If the province agrees (to binding arbitration), we could be back to school in three days,” said Sherry Philpott - Adhikary, one

of the teachers on the picket line.Teacher moral was “pretty

good” said fellow teacher Boyd Turnbull, “our members are making out quite well.” He said the union was trying to make it feasible for members to take on other jobs, and as a result there were fewer people than usual on the picket line.

“We are encouraging our members to support other local schools as well,” Turnbull added. He said several teachers at SESS had taken on other jobs.

At approximately 10:30 Monday morning, a Keremeos resident drove up to the group, offering a box of apples.

“ G o o d l u c k , ” h e said as he drove away. “I support your efforts.” “We’ve had tons of local support,” said teacher Nina Ruck, “although there are people who have come by who are negative towards our cause until we talk to them. “We have to educate them - espe-cially when it comes to things like the $5,000 signing bonus that was part of our contract offer.” Ruck said the bonus was to be pro-vided in lieu of retroactive pay, which would have been much more expensive for the province.

“In the end, the province has

to decide if education is worth-while to fund,” Turnbull added.

“It’s all about union bust-ing and privatization,” added Philpott-Adhikary. The five picketers all expressed a desire to see a resolution to the dispute.

“We want it done,” they said, “it’s been lagging on for too long.”

“It’s a difficult situation,” agreed SESS Vice Principal Scott Tremblay, of the labour dispute. “I know of an educator with eight years’ schooling who has taken a job as a waiter,” he said, noting that many teachers have had to take on other jobs as the strike continues.

Later on Monday, the teach-er’s union agreed to take a vote on binding arbitration, some-thing the B.C. government re-jected - and continues to reject - after it was originally presented Friday by B.C. Teachers’ Federa-tion president Jim Iker.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said he would not hand the budget implications of a union settlement over to a third party.

But Iker said that a yes vote will give certainty to the union’s position and binding arbitration is the “easiest way” to get schools open again.

To the Editor:I feel bad for our local teachers who do

a great job and are highly respected in our community.

In my opinion, you are simply getting bad advice and your union executive is taking the wrong approach to dealing with government.

You can’t win this battle.The premier is at the top of her game. She has a majority in the legislature which she pulled out of an almost certain defeat.

Christy Clarke has drawn the prover-bial line in the sand. You cannot win butt-ing heads with her. Even the students that

you purport to be � ghting for are turning against you.

Your executive has to � nd a way to work with the ministry. You will come out much farther ahead.

This is an issue that crosses all cultural boundaries and affects the whole popula-tion of B.C.

If your executive were to offer a carrot instead of the stick, what bene� ts do you think might appear down the road?

Teachers must elect an executive that uses more common sense and less ideol-ogy.

Billy Potash, Cawston

To the Editor and staff of the Review:Re: The Review Thursday August 28, 2014 Congratulations! You guys knocked this

issue out of the park. What an excellent paper, a great combina-

tion of interesting matters both major and minor, serious and light-hearted, local and regional. I really appreciated the contributed items, too, especially the account of Hedley’s Reunion. In fact, I thoroughly enjoyed read-ing every page.

And I’m sure I’m not the only one to acknowledge and support your advocacy on behalf of Chris Mathieson and the Grist Mill.

I appreciate that it takes a lot to pull any edition together but, when you can, may we have more like this one please.

Sincerely, Ray Bowes, Keremeos

Union providing bad advice, says reader

Thanks for the kind words Sweet and sour grapes If you have a local issue you’d like to

vent about, why not send us a Rotten, sour grape? On the other hand, if you have a compliment, or would like to offer some praise, send us a Sweet, Similkameen grape?

We will publish your anonymous submis-sion, as long as attacks on speci� c busi-nesses and people are not made. Editor’s discretion will be exercised at all times.

Please send your submissions to:[email protected]

Sweet grapes To all who contributed to the

dog park. It’s been great; thank you.

Sweet grapes To the starling control organization and

Robert Quaedvlieg for eliminating the ma-jority of the starlings.

What are students from Si-milkameen Elementary Sec-ondary and Cawston Prima-ry Schools doing as the B.C. teachers strike enters week two of the new school year?

It’s a question many in Kere-meos were asking, with few visible signs on the street of a school strike. There hasn’t been an extraordinary number of school aged youth in the streets of Keremeos since the school year was supposed to have begun on September 2. The parks, including the skate-board park, were mostly empty of public school aged students on September 8.

Being an agricultural area, many students also live on farms, vineyards and orchards. This time of year, there’s lots of work to do at home for many students. A local packinghouse owner expressed a desire to have the teachers stay out lon-ger so he could continue to have access to local student help.

It appears also that many students have been able to hang on to their summer jobs and continue to work while waiting for the strike to end. Hayley Porter, a student in her grad

year at SESS, has been able to continue her job at Orchard Blossom Honey, but both she and her mother are getting anx-ious for school to start.

“It’s been good that she’s been able to work,” said her mother, “but it’s time they were back in school.”

Marnie Todd said her two kids - and many of their friends continue to work their summer jobs. Max and Cassidy Todd are both taking on line courses.

The two are avid freestyle skiers, and their training pro-gram meant missed regular school days prior to the strike, so they were already familiar with on line education.

Todd said her kids were using the Khan Academy website to keep up with their math skills.

“Everybody’s been busy,” Todd said, “that’s the beauty of our small town - there are jobs available this time of year, so the kids can keep busy if they want.”

SESS students Noah and Eli Ana Beglaw, and Katie Frasch all found temporary employ-ment at the Grist Mill as a re-sult of a program that was put together quickly, in response to word that school would not be starting as usual, at that facility last week.

It appears to be the only pro-gram in the community that is presently being offered to pro-vide some assistance to parents while the strike is ongoing.

Zada Rahkola reaches tentatively to pet a chicken at the Grist Mill on Mon-day, September 8. Zada was part of a group of children taking advantage of the Grist Mill’s program for school students waiting out the teachers strike.

Admission fees to the grounds were cut by half and a program of activities put together, running between 10 and 3 p.m. to keep younger students entertained.

The three students of SESS help with the new program, assisting parents with supervision of the children and also helping with chores at the Grist Mill.

Mill Manager Chris Mathieson said the program has been successful during the first week of the strike, although student numbers could be higher.

“We’ve had a couple dozen students, from both primary and intermediate levels,” he reported.

On Monday, September 8, Rachael McWhirter

was visiting the Grist Mill along with several other mothers and their primary school aged children. “It’s been challenging,” Rachael said in regard to keeping their children supervised and entertained while out of school.

“We’re lucky we live in a community that has so much to offer - and it’s affordable, too.”

McWhirter said she was part of a group of moms that were looking for ways to keep their kids together during the strike. The children are all enrolled in a French language school in Penticton.

A group of mothers and their children took advantage of the Grist Mill’s program for students on September 8. The children, who study in a French language school in Penticton, enjoyed the extra activities and attractions hosted by the Grist Mill.

Sarah Mar t in was caught off guard by the sudden flight of this Cooper Hawk af-ter opening the lid on the cardboard box. The hawk was found several weeks ago by Eileen Oliver-Bauer on her deck after it collided with a window.Bauer gave the bird to SORCO (South Okan-agan Rahabilitation Centre for Owls). The bird was rehabilitated and returned to Oliver - Bauer for release at the point of capture.

COUNTERTOP OPTIONS ABOUNDPART I

Many things in a kitchen contribute to giving this popular room its personality. Appliances and choice of cabinets go a long way toward crafting that look, but perhaps nothing defines a kitchen more than a homeowner’s choice of countertops. Countertops are where the action takes place in a kitchen. It’s where meals are prepared and where hungry houseguests or curious kids watch the fam-ily chef whip up the night’s meal. The options with regard to countertop surfaces are numerous, and the following are just a few of the more popular op-tions homeowners planning to replace their exist-ing surfaces might want to consider.

LaminateLaminate countertops are popular and affordable. Made of sheeting glued to plywood or particle-board substrate, laminate countertops are water-re-sistant but not very heat-resistant, so homeowners will want to place any hots pans, pots or baking sheets on trivets to maintain the laminate. Many homeowners prefer laminate countertops because they are available in so many colors, meaning they can match any homeowner’s preferences, no mat-ter how colorful those preferences are. Cutting on laminate countertops is not recommended, but such surfaces are easy to clean and maintain.

QuartzQuartz is among the most durable countertop sur-faces available, as it is resistant to bacteria, heat, stains, and water. Though quartz is not available in as many shades as laminate, it is similarly easy to clean. Also like laminate countertops, quartz surfaces tend to have easily visible seams, which may irk homeowners who find such minor im-perfections an eyesore. Quartz countertops can be expensive depending on the amount of surface area a kitchen has, so budget-conscious homeown-ers with especially large kitchens may find quartz countertops bust their budgets.

Summer may be winding down, but it’s still busy at the Grist Mill, with many events planned in the next couple of weeks before the fall equinox on September 22. These special events will round out an exceptionally busy summer at the Grist Mill, where 2014 atten-dance is on track to double the total number of visitors to the site in 2013.

Here’s what’s coming up:Thursday, Sept 11 - Similkameen Burger

NightOn Thursday, September 11, come for the

first in a series of special dinners at the Grist Mill. For the first dinner, Chef Natasha will be transforming the humble hamburger with a ton of scratch-made sides and condiments including her famous bacon jam as well as mustards, ketchups, relishes and salads made from the freshest ingredients from our own garden. Everything, from the pickles to the patty, will have some connection with the spectacular Similkemeen Valley. $25. Reserva-tions required; please call (250-499-2888) or email ([email protected]) to reserve your spot. Doors at 5 p.m.

Sunday, Sept 14 - Workshop: Plein Air Painting - “Japanese Sketching”

Bring your paints, easel and chair for a plein air (in open air) painting session with Okanagan based artist, Loraine Stephanson. Join other painters with various levels of expe-rience at 11 a.m. until 4 p.m.. This workshop will focus on “value to color” exercises. Any painting media and all skill levels welcome. There will be a break for lunch - the tea room will be serving or you are welcome to bring in

your own lunch. Don’t forget to bring a water bottle and hat! Workshop fee, $35. Please call (250-499-2888) or email ([email protected]) to reserve your spot.

Saturday, Sept 20 - Equinox Kitchen Party (with Jocelyn Pettit and the Pettit Band)

The Grist Mill invites you to celebrate the impending Fall Equinox with a party in (and around) our Summer Kitchen featuring Jocelyn Pettit. Jocelyn is a vibrant and award-winning fiddle player, stepdancer, singer and composer from Squamish. This special event will be hosted in and around the site’s own summer kitchen and you are encouraged to bring your own blankets and low-rise beach chairs. Also, be sure bring your dancing shoes. Tickets are $20 and are available at the Grist Mill front desk or on the website.

Sunday, Sept 21 - Heritage Fall Fair At The Grist Mill

Are you proficient at preserves, brilliant at baking, deft at crafts, well-versed at veggies or adept at flower arrangement? If so, the Grist Mill might have a great opportunity for you to show off your skills. On Sunday, September 21 the Grist Mill and Gardens at Keremeos will be hosting its first-ever Heritage Fall Fair! There will be almost seventy exhibit categories to see or compete in as well as heritage games of skill, concessions, entertainment and even a petting zoo on site for the day, courtesy of Andy’s Animal Acres from Naramata. The whole site will be filled with family-oriented activity for the day.

Admission to the fall fair is $7 for adults, $5 for students and seniors. Visit the Grist Mill website (www.oldgristmill.ca) for information, entry forms and more.

WHIPLASH

When we see the picture of a musher with his whip snaking out over his dog team the kinetic energy he has put into the whip is represented by the waves in it. As the energy reaches the end of the whip it is much amplified and is dissipated as sound and heat as the tip of the whip changes direction at high speed.The human body is mostly composed of a fibrous matrix of connective tissue. Among its many other functions this organ acts as a shock absorber, dissipating the shocks to which our bodies are subjected in the normal course of our lives. Generally the energy is absorbed by the mostly vertically oriented muscle fibres in our bodies without incident.The dynamic becomes more complicated when the body is subjected to uncontrolled forces moving toward each other from opposite directions. Where the energy vectors meet they are forced to change direction laterally at high speed while being dissipated in the surrounding connective tissue. This is known as a whiplash injury.In the classic case of whiplash where a vehicle is rear ended, energy vectors are generated as the hips and lower back are sud-denly thrust forward sending a tsunami like shock wave upward through the matrix. Simultaneously the head and shoulders are being thrown back sending a shock wave downward through the matrix. Where the waves meet the dissipation of their kinetic energy compromises the integrity of muscle tissue in the area restricting its range of motion. Pain is experienced from the injured tissue as well as from chronically stressed muscles sometimes far from the whiplash injury itself.The injured tissue has a particular texture, different from other adhesions which can cause similar symptoms. Structural Integration work can be quite effective in dealing with the condition. Sometimes the energy will release quickly and dra-matically. In other cases, particularly if the injury is an old one, it must be revisited repeatedly before the trapped energy is finally released.I recently experienced the release of a fifty year old whiplash on the left side of my neck while receiving the work. The range of motion in my neck was immediately increased with further releases happening in my right shoulder and hip over the next few days. There was an emotional component to the release too as I relived the traumatic circumstances surrounding the injury.If you are experiencing what seems to be unexplained pain in a part of your body which you do not remember injuring, think back to other traumas you have experienced. Perhaps there was a whiplash producing incident you have forgotten about because it doesn’t hurt any more. Describe this to your bodyworker next time you have a session. It may be the key to the relief you seek.

DIGITALIZATION OF THE HUMAN BODYThe idea of digitalization of the human body is coming. There are blood glucose machines that can connect to an iPhone. Soon, blood pressure and other vital statistics will be added and can be downloaded to your doctor. Eventually, your genetic data will be in a form that will allow your doctor to prescribe the drug that will work best for you.

BRUISING AS WE GET OLDERBruising is more common as we get older. Tiny blood vessels, called capillaries in our skin become more fragile and are more likely to rupture. Also the skin contains less fat so there is less protection for the capillaries. Even though we bruise more easily as we age, your doctor should be consulted if you have large painful bruises or bruises that come on suddenly.

HEARTBURNHeartburn results when the valve that shuts off the tube to the stomach doesn’t seal well enough and allows the food to come back up the tube (esophagus). Because that food has been mixing with stomach acid, this regurgitation causes the burning feeling in the esophagus. If heartburn becomes chronic, see your doctor.

HELP’S THE MEDICINE GO DOWN...If you have to give your child a medication that doesn’t taste that good, try giving a cold treat like a Popsicle before and after giving the medicine. The cold will help numb the taste buds and make the bad taste less noticeable.Our pharmacists feel that keeping current with all the latest advances in medicine and pharmacy is important. It enables us to serve you better.

FRANCISJOHN WILLIAM

January 4, 1935 - August 28, 2014:John was born in Somerset, England and passed away peacefully at Moog

& Friends Hospice with his loving wife Jill at his side.Predeceased by his daughter Christine he leaves behind sons David and Shaun (Dana) and grandchildren Matthew, Brian and Celia, as well as family still in England and many good friends here in Canada.John immigrated to Canada with his family in May 1975 to operate the Rocking Chair Ranch in Cawston, BC quite a change from milking cows and operating a dairy farm in England. A true stockman, he was on a horse just two days after landing in Canada herding cattle ten miles up Highway on the rst of a two day cattle drive over Fairview pass to Reed Creek above Oliver. From those rst days he never stopped. He worked tirelessly producing top quality hay and outstanding cattle until he retired.A congenital heart ailment forced him to slow down but he kept busy with his little hay elds and huge garden and ower beds, then laying hens, wood

work projects and even building ships in bottles. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.We wish to thank Doctors Partridge and Ashton for their diligent care throughout his life and the wonderful doctors, nurses and staff on SP3 at Penticton Regional Hospital and at Moog & Friends Hospice.No service by request. Donations may be made to the Canadian Heart & Stroke Foundation.The last cut of hay is baled and stacked in the barn. The cows are all gathered and home from the range. Time to rest Dad, time to rest.

GUMPERTHanni Gumpert

April 2 1930 - September 2 2014 It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved Mother, Hanni Gumpert, at Orchard Haven on Tuesday, September 2, 2014, at the age of 84. Predeceased by her husband, Horst, in 2010 and her sister, Elsa Blusse (Heinz), Hanni is lovingly remembered by her family daughters, El (John) Roy of Keremeos, Gabriele (Frank)Friesen of Coquitlam, Angela (Jordy) Bosscha of Keremeos, son, Roland (Lisa) Gumpert of Keremeos and six grandchildren, Lisa (Jamie), Kiefer, Heidi, Noah, Marlaina and Raina, brothers, Wolfgang (Edith) Schwetje of Cawston, and Heiner (Kadia) Schwetje of Cawston. Born in Germany in 1930, Hanni immigrated with her husband and two young children to Cawston, BC, Canada. In Germany she was a seamstress by trade, but after arriving in Cawston they soon purchased an orchard on the Upper Bench Road in Keremeos, where she worked hard alongside her husband in their successful orchard for 50 years, and, raised two more children. She excelled at everything she put her heart into, especially baking, her specialty being, “The Frankfurter Kranz”. She was also an outstanding gardener and a devoted Mother and Grandmother. She had a passion , (almost an obsession), for cleaning and family and friends always said,” it was so clean you could eat off her oors”. We will always remember the work ethics you instilled in us and the love for family, it is with cherished memories that we will keep you forever in our hearts.No service by request. Cremation. In lieu of owers donations may be made to Orchard Haven and would be appreciated.Condolences can be sent to the family
