New legislation geared to give first responders peace of mind
Photo by Steve Arstad
Gold Pear Orchard owner Marcel Morin reinforces an earthen berm across his driveway on Friday, April 27. Morin’s orchard was partially flooded after a culvert plugged up and caused Barcelo Creek to spill down Upper Bench Road last week. The waters have since subsided, but damage to the road surface kept a short section of Upper Bench closed to through traffic into this week.
Contributed by the Ministry of Labour, Citizen’s Services and Open Government Emergency workers will be able to access information about potential disease exposure with legislation introduced April30 by the Honourable Margaret MacDiarmid, Minister of Labour, Citizens’ Services and Open Government. The nature of the work done by emergency personnel means they are at a higher risk of coming into contact with other peoples’ bodily substances. This puts them in a situation where they can be exposed to serious communicable diseases like HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. The Emergency Intervention Disclosure Act will: - Enable emergency workers and Good Samaritans to get a court order to require individuals to give a bodily fluid sample, if one is not given voluntarily. - Protect privacy by assuring information is shared in confidence only. - Set penalties for non-compliance of testing orders and privacy provisions. - Establish a presumption of disease exposure for first responders seeking workers’ compensation benefits.
Lower Similkameen experiences some flood damage after warm temperatures, heavy rains By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Barcello Creek flooded its bank in Cawston last week, after several days of warm temperatures and heavy rains on April 26. Argo Road Maintenance was called to the scene on Thursday, April 26, after being told that the creek was spilling down the side of the roadway. Barcelo Creek crosses Upper Bench Road via two culverts, which had both
plugged up with debris carried down by the rising waters. The ditch was cleared, but plugged up again early in the evening on the 26th. Argo returned to the scene and had been working to build berms and contain the water. At least two properties along Upper Bench had their driveway access cut off by the flood, and the road remained closed to through traffic between Becks Road and Daly Drive on Monday of this week. The property of Gold Pear Orchard was probably most affected by the errant watercourse. The creek was running
through the orchard until Argo was able to build a berm across the low portion of the orchard fronting the roadway. The water then appeared to run harmlessly into a marsh to the north of the Gold Pear property. According to a property owner at the scene, Argo is looking at the possibility of installing a single large culvert to replace the two small ones underneath Upper Bench Road. The resident said that the flooding issue is a perennial one, albeit not usually to the extent and severity of this year’s event.

Semi rollover paves highway with lumber By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com On April 25 at approximately 6:52 p.m., a semi-truck was proceeding Westbound on Hwy 3 near the Riverside RV park, approximately 10 kilo-
metres west of Keremeos. The truck crossed over the center line and flipped, spilling the load of lumber it was transporting across the highway. The highway was closed for approximately five hours. There were no other vehicles involved in the accident. The driver and lone occupant of the
truck, a 37 year old Surrey man was taken to Penticton Regional Hospital with non life threatening injuries. The Commercial Vehicle Saftey and Enforcement Team and Kermeos RCMP are investigating the accident. Charges under the Motor Vehicle Act are being considered.
More public service workers told they could lose their jobs Parks Canada will see 638 positions eliminated By Shelina Merani CNW Group Parks Canada to lose 638 positions The Public Service Alliance of Canada has confirmed that 3,872 of its members in ten federal departments received notices today saying they could lose their jobs. The numbers, released April 30, brings the total number of notices issued to PSAC members since the Federal Budget to 11,957 in 40 federal
government departments and agencies. Parks Canada management issued notices to 1,689 PSAC members today and says 638 positions will be eliminated. One thousand, four hundred and four notices, including 394 surplus notices, went to workers in what are called field units across the country. 211 notices, including 181 surplus notices, went to Service Centre workers. 74 notices, including 63 surplus notices, were handed out to workers in Parks Canada’s National Office. Workers affected include those at national historic sites, national parks and waterways across the country. These
are workers like scientists, engineers, technicians, mechanics, carpenters and program managers. Many help maintain historic artifacts for national historic sites or the eco system integrity of national parks and canals. Many seasonal workers are being told their work seasons and hours of work will be shortened. Other affected federal departments include Human Resources, Transport Canada, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, the Department of Justice, Statistics Canada, Library and Archives Canada, Correctional Services Canada and the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade.
29th annual international walk for peace takes place on Mothers Day Peace walk was born during 1980’s cruise missile testing Contributed by Dave Cursons This Mother’s Day Walk for Peace, May 13 marks the 29th consecutive year that American and Canadian peace activists have meet at the OsoyoosOroville border park. They meet to share stories, to sing, to renew old acquaintance, to welcome new friends and to celebrate their continuing peace and justice activities in their home communities. It all started in 1983 when some South Okanagan and Similkameen activist opposed to U.S. Cruise Missile Testing at Cold Lake in Alberta created
a mock up of the missile and arranged to deliver it to American friends at the border. The Americans took “the missile” to the Boeing plant in Seattle and created a ruckus outside the gates in an effort to deliver if from the Canadians. Since then, the Canadians and Americans have made The Mother’s Day Walk an annual observance. Both Canadian and American customs authorities have been consistently helpful over the years, right though the recent heightened security established since the 2011 attack on the World Trade Centre in New York. Uniformed border guards keep a friendly and watchful eye on the proceedings. A large group from the Doukhobor community in Kootenay Boundary attend every Mother’s Day walk.
Numerous American and Canadian politicians have made the trek over the years and Southern Interior MP, Alex Atamanenko who is fluent in French, Russian and English will be there to speak. The Americans meet at the Oroville Library at noon to walk to the border. Canadians meet at the parking lot at Haynes Point Provincial Park at 1 p.m. for the walk. Participants are encouraged to bring an umbrella for sun or rain, a seat for themselves, water, a snack and a song or a poem to share with the assembly. The celebration begins at 2 p.m. For more information call 250-4995417 in the Okanagan-Similkameen, 250-442-7495 in the Kootenay Boundary and 509-476-4072 in the U.S. Okonogan.

SHOP TOWELS, PAPER TOWELS AND THE VILLAGE SEWER SYSTEM DON’T MIX! The Village is currently having problems with the sewer system in the lower level of Keremeos. We are asking that people do not flush shop towels or paper towels into the sewer system as they are too thick and do not break down like toilet paper. When shop towels or paper towels are flushed into our sewer system they cause a lift station to plug up which, in some cases, require overtime call outs of the Public Works crew.

Workers perform maintenance duties, rehabilitating the wells at Keremeos Irrigation District pumphouses last week. It was a good thing that the men were used to working with water, as last Thursday’s wet conditions made outdoor chores extremely damp. The work is part of an ongoing program, with KID doing two wells this year. The maintenance also provides a good opportunity to inspect the condition of the pump, and often replacement is required.
Court hears of accident’s aftermath of death and destruction By Kristi Patton Black Press Carl Lentz laid flowers and photos of his dead son at the entrance to Penticton at Wright’s Beach campground last week. He reminiscened on better times with his son, who was killed last July by a Keremeos man driving with a blood-alcohol level two times the legal limit. Lentz came face to face with the driver, 72-year-old Frank Tamok, at the Penticton provincial courthouse on April 24. “He just looks like a monster to me,” said Lentz outside the courthouse after Tamok was found guilty on Friday for criminal negligence causing death, criminal negligence causing bodily harm and failure to stop at the scene of an accident. It was a typical hot and busy Canada Day long weekend in Penticton last July when Bradley Lentz and his wife were returning to Wright’s Beach campground where they had been on vacation with family. Lentz and his wife had moved to Vancouver one month earlier from Australia, where they had lived for about three years. This was their first chance to reconnect with the Lentz family who travelled from Alberta to see them. Judge Wilfred Klinger said in his decision, after a four-day trial that heard many witnesses recount the “horrifying accident,” that it comes as no shock the long weekend in Penticton has a spotted history from riots, fatal traffic accidents and other tragic incidents. “July 3, 2011 was unfortunately no exception,” said Klinger. The judge said evidence showed Tamok had a “marked and substantiated departure of a reasonable driver.” During the trial, witnesses testified that a white Kia driven by Tamok came
(250) 499-7732
to an abrupt stop after driving erratically southbound on the Channel Parkway. This caused one woman to rear-end him. Tamok accelerated away from the accident, rear-ending a Jeep waiting to turn right onto Skaha Lake Road at a red light. The driver of the Jeep, who happened to be an RCMP officer on vacation in Penticton, said he could feel the white Kia accelerating and was eventually pushed around the turn from the force. Tamok’s Kia became disengaged with the Jeep and it slingshot across the highway towards oncoming traffic, violently hitting a truck and then glancing off the vehicle behind it. Tamok then sped westbound on Skaha Lake Road, witnesses testified they saw the white Kia weaving in and out of oncoming traffic. Tamok passed through the intersection at Airport Road, at speeds reaching 100 km/h by witnesses accounts, before he rammed into the back of a white GMC Jimmy heading west. The force of that launched the Jimmy into the air and it came crashing down on the front end of eastbound truck before coming to rest upside down on the shoulder of the road. Bradley Lentz had been a passenger in the Jimmy, his wife Nancy Lentz was driving. He was killed instantly in the collision. His wife survived, as did the couple in the truck, but not without injuries and emotional trauma. This has extended to friends and family of Bradley. “It is just hour by hour, day by day,” said Carl of how life has been since his son has died. A date for Tamok’s sentencing has been scheduled for June 23, Carl plans to be there. “Maybe justice will be done and hopefully they will use this with other cases to make stronger sentencing because this drinking and driving has gotten so out of hand. The message has just not got across.”

Clarifying compost comments By Bill McPhee In your Review article “Agriculture group requests RDOS compostable material funding” Thursday, April 12, it was reported that I had said, “By using compost we can rid ourselves of commercial fertilizers.” This has resulted in my having to explain myself to some confused grower friends. The intension was to indicate that the compost could replace a specific phosphorus application used to stimulate feeder root development but not all fertilizer use. The following should clarify my intent. In the 2011 RDOS study “Utilization of compost for Treatment of Crop Roots” supported by the Agriculture Environment and Wildlife Fund, I investigated the impact of compost from OK Falls on the fruit Quality improvement that was reported by Dr. Peter Toivonen a researcher at PARC. A presentation was made to the Regional District Board requesting further support to expand the study in 2012. It appears that one of my comments was not clear. I did not intend to imply that the compost would replace commercial fertilizers as a general statement but indicated that the compost treatment duplicated the action of certain phosphorus treatments used to stimulate feeder root development. Using a compost application would eliminate the routine application of a soluble-phosphorus treatment in spring that many Okanagan/Similkameen growers currently apply. In addition I observed, during my root observations, that feeder root die-back was greatly reduced or eliminated in root systems treated with compost. This was a very important find. Where phosphorus is used as a feeder route stimulant die-back is common and should be addressed separately. The fact that government regulators have not given growers the tools to deal with this die-back leaves our industry with
the predicament we are now in i.e. our per acre production is a fraction of the per acre production in other fruit growing areas – Washington State for example. My point during the presentation was that compost application would eliminate the need for phosphorus stimulation in spring and in many cases also eliminate the need to follow-up with corrective chemical treatments to control the pathogens that attack the new roots. Other fertilizer needs would remain the same or possibly lessen where a more vigorous feeder root system is maintained. Speculation has it that the compost is not supplying significant nutrition to the tree through the roots but rather modifying the soil microbial population and suppressing attack of the roots by the pathogens. Research on compost impact on tree growth has been done over the years at PARC but up until just recently there was no sustainable supply of “tested” compost available to growers. My experience has been that many products growers have been using as soil amendments and generally labelled as compost have not been effective and in some cases were very detrimental to tree growth. The need for a standardization of the compost growers buy and assistance in proper application will be very important in future.

Editorial
Time to scrap the carbon tax Sentiment to scrap B.C.’s carbon tax program was expressed in the provincial legislature earlier this week, adding to a slowly growing sentiment that views the carbon tax as a costly mistake. Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett joined Caribou North Independent MLA Bob Simpson Monday when he opined that the government should “quit pretending it can influence global climate and scrap the carbon tax.” Public institutions like schools and hospitals will pay 25 million dollars in carbon offsets to the Pacific Carbon Trust this year - money lost to them to a trust that they cannot access. The money ends up in the hands of big business, and our local public institutions end up being deprived of money they could have used on their own to clean up their emissions. (The B.C.government is offering rebates to public institutions for the first time this year, most likely due to public outrage over the way the program presently works.) The Regional District Okanagan Similkameen has set aside $25,000 in the 2012 budget for carbon offsets. The Village of Keremeos is estimating their carbon charges to be $1,600 this year, but like the RDOS, won’t know until the end of the year what the final bill will be. There will also be an additional cent per litre added to the price of gasoline coming on July 1 that will apply province wide. It’s high time to scrap this nonsense. When one considers that B.C. emits one tenth of Canada’s carbon emissions, which represent only two per cent of human caused carbon emissions in the world - and the public sector in B.C. is only responsible for one per cent of the province’s total emissions, the program would never have a significant impact curtailing carbon emissions on a global scale. The carbon tax is a failure on all fronts - and it’s an insult to, and an unnecessary expenditure for, the B.C. taxpayer.

Forest jobs won’t wait for 2013 By Tom Fletcher Black Press Sawmill tragedies in Prince George and Burns Lake have brought overdue attention to the larger crisis, as the end of B.C.’s latest pine beetle infestation continues to transform the Interior forest industry. The urgency of the timber supply situation was set out in a couple of high-level documents that were leaked from the forests ministry in recent days. These leaks show several things, one of which is that this is a government in trouble. Someone on the inside forced the unpopular options into the public arena. Cabinet ministers have tried to dismiss the documents as early drafts, but no one has disputed their numbers. A report on mid-term timber supply looks at the four most beetle-affected areas: Prince George, Lakes (west of Prince George around Burns Lake), Quesnel and Williams Lake. In recent years B.C.’s chief forester
has increased the annual allowable cut of all these timber supply areas substantially to harvest dead trees. In Lakes, the pre-beetle annual allowable cut was 1.5 million cubic metres. Currently it is up to two million, but once the beetle wood is unusable, it drops to 500,000. Even if visual quality rules are relaxed to release more timber, forest employment in the area would go from 1,572 jobs before the beetle epidemic to 521. Prince George’s much larger harvest total is expected to drop by almost half. And around Quesnel, producers say an economic supply of dead pine will be there for only another year and a half. This document and a subsequent proposal to cabinet set out the options. They include relaxing visual quality areas, old-growth management zones and wildlife connectivity corridors. This is not as drastic as it sounds, given that the first areas to be opened up would
be those where many of the trees are already dead. Most beetle-affected areas have a substantial proportion of live trees. If decade-old dead trees were subsidized for biofuel use, this would support harvest and hauling of healthy sawlogs along with them. The government is also considering swapping some existing cutting licences to increase wood supply for the Lakes district, to provide enough long-term supply for reconstruction of the destroyed Burns Lake sawmill. There is also the prospect of awarding unassigned timber to “a single representative of the six First Nations in the Lakes TSA.” Speaking to forest scientists who work in B.C., a couple of things become clear. This pine beetle epidemic may be the largest on record, but it is far from the first. And despite many assertions by former premier Gordon Campbell, it is not certain if this one is the result of a broader climate trend or just a string of warmer
winters after decades of fire suppression kept older stands around. Lodgepole pine forests are fire-propagated. The term “old growth” has little meaning in a cycle of natural fires that doesn’t occur in wetter zones. But none of this will matter much in the urban political debate that is about to ensue. “Old growth” is now a quasi-religious notion. International environmental groups have convinced most people that logging is the primary cause of forest loss. In fact, the UN’s “State of the World’s Forests” reports have shown that 95 per cent of global forest loss is due to agriculture. Forest cover is increasing in industrialized countries, which use farmland more efficiently. The B.C. Liberal government needs to make some tough decisions quickly, before next year’s election. The premier’s vow to “create and defend” jobs is about to be tested like never before.

Park would bring benefits to the region To the Editor: A national park in the South Okanagan Similkameen would bring substantial benefits to the economy, helping build businesses and strong families through a process of “amenity migration”, where people chose to live near life-style attractions such as parks. So that we can appreciate their contributions a national park would also be good for representing the cultures of locals, including First Nations, ranchers, and others. Further, a national park would help conserve regional environmental priorities clearly expressed in public opinion polls. In partnership with BC, Parks Canada has invested years undertaking a feasibility study. Parks Canada appears willing to proceed, bearing the lion’s share of costs of park establishment, but inexplicably BC wants to forfeit those
many benefits a park would bring. We all -- each one of us -- needs to see the recommendations of that feasibility study to judge if BC’s intention is justified. Having invested a career helping nature in the Okanagan-Similkameen I see nature being increasingly degraded. Change is happening, whether or not parochial minds wish to cling to the past, hoping they will continue to enjoy using the land as always. Those days of past pioneer practices are coming to an end. A national park is a golden opportunity to collectively conserve the precious landscape that enriches our lives in many ways. If a SOS national park is lost this opportunity will never arise again. Forever-after generations to come may regret our lack of consensus courage to proceed when we had the chance. Bob Lincoln, Wildlife Biologist, Kaleden
Was Keremeos bullying incident a premeditated attack? To the Editor: I am writing this letter to you because the people of our beautiful village will be sickened by the behaviour of the teens and young adults in our midst. My name is Ann Bramble, aka Gramma, Gramma Ann, Nannie and Mrs. Ann. I am the proud gramma of a 17 year old girl who has extensive mental exceptionalities. We have lived in the village for 18 years. My granddaughter was born here. Everyone in this area knows Tisha. Many of you helped us when Tisha was young and suffered seizures in public. It breaks my heart that these young adults and teens would seemingly, with malice and intent, lured this child with exceptionalities to Pine
Park with the pretense of friendship. At that time these four young men and two young women found great joy and satisfaction emotionally and physically bullying my granddaughter. At this point they found the greatest pleasure in bombarding this child with apples. My granddaughter suffered not only emotional abuse by the hands of these teens, but they could have killed her with the apples. When you plan and carry out that plan, then put it on Facebook to brag to the world that you have physically and emotionally bullied a person with exceptionalities, I believe you should pay a price. Ann Bramble, Keremeos
Directors motion not an indication of support To the Editor I found your April 26 headline “RDOS wades into national park debate” a bit misleading. I do not interpret the motions as asking whether or not the directors were for or against the proposal, even if during debate some directors expressed their neutrality, support, opposition or sat on the fence. As I interpret it, the RDOS board debated a three point motion: 1. “The Province of B.C. re-engage in formal discussions with the Government of Canada re the proposed South Okanagan National Park.” Requesting the province to re-engage with the federal government so a process can be completed seems to be a reasonable approach. How can any of us make a rational decision as to whether or not a national park in the area would benefit, first, the natural landscape and all that depend on it, and second, the Similkameen/South Okanagan communities that surround the proposal. Surely this is a reasonable approach. 2. “That the Regional District Okanagan Similkameen be briefed on the results of the Feasibility Study Report that was submitted to the province December 2010 and that the province release it to the public.” Surely this is a reasonable request; how can any board member make an informed stand for or against the proposal if they are not privy to the information in the study? How can the residents and business people make a truly informed decision? How can we ever know if we are passing up on a one time opportunity or whether we should “battle the proposal to the end?” How can we intelligently debate the information in the Feasibility Study Report if we do not know the contents of the report? Is it not reasonable that the public should have access to a report about a proposal that may have a major impact (both
positive and negative) on the South Okanagan Similkameen? The public paid for the report and should have access to it. 3. That the Regional District Okanagan Similkameen be briefed during and at the completion of these formal talks re the national park. Again, this seems a very reasonable approach and logically follows #1 and #2. Perhaps I am missing it, but I do not I see an implied or real request for commitment by the board either for or against the park. Simply a request for information! The real issue here is the provincial government has yet again downloaded its responsibilities onto local government by passing a controversial issue onto local government while giving the appearance of having listened to the “majority” of local residents. Some may interpret this as “buying” votes for the next election. The national park proposal is not really in the RDOS domain. Crown Lands are under the jurisdiction of the provincial government, and in some cases, federal government. I applaud the RDOS for taking the approach it has and sincerely hope that as a result we can all be privy to the information in the Feasibility Study Report. Respectfully, Lee McFadyen,Cawston
Park debate being swayed by loudest argument

Twenty-five years ago, Rick Hansen came through Keremeos with a message of inclusion and accessibility. Canada hosted the 2010 Olympics and Paralympics in Vancouver. The provincial government is now in partnership with people with disabilities to manage a program called the Equipment and Accesiblility Technology Initiative, which provides funding for people to get the technology they need in order to begin the process of joining the workforce. Compared to 25 years ago, the technology available in things like Ipads, Iphones, gps, talking programs, electronic prothetics and sports wheelchairs, to name a few has become almost affordable. We are at a time when technology is not just a cool factor but a neccessary and independant tool for people who are shut out of society. When asking people with disabilities today in the Similkameen, this is what they saying.. “We are not only speaking about wider doors. We are talking about ensuring not only can people get inside a door, but also how with they participate in day to day society. For instance, in 2011. there was an attempt to have the disabled summer games in Penticton and it was cancelled due to a lack of truly accessible hotel rooms. Some were close, but still were missing proper rol-in showers and room for attendants to assist. People with disabilities are becoming more visable, not content to just stay home. They want to participate and do belong in our society. That is the message of the 25th anniversary Relay of the Man in Motion Tour. Accessible, inclusive communities. Keremeos has done much to meet the challenge of accessibility. The village office has wide doorways, electronic doors and accessible washroom. The swimming pool has renovated their washrooms and change room to be accessible. Both CIBC and Valley First Credit Union and Pharmasave have put in wide, electronic doors. Valu Plus Foods has electronic doors and the Elks and Legion halls have accessible ramps. The new Visitors Centre was built with proper ramps, wider doors and two accessible washrooms. It is fitting that the 25th anniversary will be at the new Visitors Centre and community kitchen. Our wheelchair athlete, Joe Reichart was there to greet Rick Hansen 25 years ago, and he will be there on May 9, 25 years, later to be a community medal bearer. So get out there, along the route and join in celebrating our achievements Our community has come a long way and as with change there is more to come. We are now looking forward to not just getting in the door, but also remembering that we all should be able to participate once inside. So as the work continues, the ramp leading into Victory Hall was the first step. In time, the washrooms will be accessible and the kitchen as well. As a community we can be proud of the changes in 25 years and continue to work on participation and inclusion going forward.

Keep breathing, it’s over Kyukoshin karate novice Alex Rousseau learns a little bit about winning with each tournament
The Riverbed Bistro
By Alex Rousseau Special to the Review Osu no Seishin, or roughly translated, “Persevere under Pressure�. A motto of the Kyokushin spirit. It defines what we must go through, during testing or during a tournament. All members of Kyokushin, male or female, tall or small, strong or otherwise, are all encouraged to attend tournaments, and after recently attending the Oliver tournament, I see why. I’d first like to explain a few things about myself and my fighting experience. I’m a young man, and I’ve only been with Kyokushin for a year now. I am 6’2�, 155 lbs. On April 21 I attended the South Okanagan Kyokushin Tournament, hosted by the Oliver Dojo. This is the third tournament I’ve attended. I previously participated in the Canadians in Vancouver, and the Lumby Friendship Tournament. I lost my fights in both previous tournaments, and am proud of those losses. It’s part of the learning experience in Kyokushin. I was hoping I’d be more prepared for a local one; although sometimes, you can just never be prepared for everything. A Kyokushin tournament fight consists of two people in a “ring�, you have four side refs, and a single centre ref. You are basically responsible for impressing the side refs with technique, aggressive tactics and an indomitable spirit. A fight lasts for one and half minutes, or up to two and a half minutes. Unlike boxing, which you are all probably more familiar with, the refs decide if you win or lose, not a loss due to the inability to continue fighting (although it can happen, via knockouts, winding etc.). Votes are cast and the centre ref counts them. If it is a tie, the centre ref has the final call. This is a gut wrenching period of time...the split second before the centre ref chooses who will win, and who will lose, or if he wants to watch another 30 seconds of two people flying at each other once again...hoping the judges will decide by one extension, if not, the senior divisions are eligible for up to two extensions. In a tournament, once a contestant wins a single fight, they have to continue to battle their way to the top of their weight/age category. The hardest part of the battle is the wait until you fight, with a more than likely chance that you will have multiple fights, when we’re thrown into a “ring�, or square to be honest, pitted against a peer we may have known for a while, or just met for the first time. It tends to cause difficulties in the fights, or vicious rivalries. In my case, I had two fights; both were about as random as any fight could be. I found myself keeling over and holding my rapidly bruising diaphragm as much as fighting in my first fight against a very sturdily built blue belt who has been training for professional fighting. The beautiful part about Kyokushin is, I was almost obliged to keep going when my centre ref encouraged me (to) stand up and regulate my irregular breathing, which I was more than happy to do, even if it meant stacking the dominos only to have them be knocked down again. Except in this case, the “dominos� were my breath and the “knocking down�was, an uppercut to the diaphragm. My second fight against a fellow Keremeos

student went a bit more my way. Being a tall young man, I’m attempting to learn a strategy of using my legs to keep the opponent away from myself. Utilizing forward thrusting kicks and roundhouse kicks, I was able to control the fight to more of my liking. My coach continuously reminded me to keep doing this, and it worked to my advantage. Then amongst all the noise I heard the other coach screaming “Get inside him!� A handful of kicks and punches later, the clock was running down, and the crowd’s momentum seemed to have dropped. My fight didn’t seem too exciting; to encourage the flagging fighter, the crowd continued on page 14

Canada’s transformation under Harper By Alex Atamanenko Over the past six years under the Conservative government led by Stephen Harper, we have seen a relentless transformation of our country to one that is more closely aligned with the “corporate business agenda” then ever before. This shift is taking place against a backdrop that has seen a progressive loss of investment in our country by the same corporate sector that has reaped the benefits of massive tax breaks, set to reach a staggering $220 billion by 2013-14. Amidst this decline in federal revenues there have been outrageous spending increases in our military budget to finance the war in Afghanistan and to purchase F-35 stealth bombers. Inexplicably, and for the first time in history, the Conservatives are spending $30 million to commemorate the war of 1812! At the same time, the 2012 budget has cut $66.7 million to Veteran’s Affairs. It is shameful that a government so eager to send young people to war is shirking its responsibility to provide the care they and their families need at the end of their service. With many veterans of the Balkan and Afghanistan wars needing help the Conservative government is shutting down veterans hospitals and downloading costs to the provinces. Seeking to emulate the failed U.S. justice system, the Harper government’s crime legislation, Bill C-10, will result
in billions being wasted to build super prisons at a time when the national crime rate has been decreasing for years. To further Canada’s dismal performance on the international stage, the government has cut $377 million out of Budget 2012 to international aid and effectively ended our country’s participation in a number of international organizations. I find this embarrassing as Canada is already among the lowest international aid donor as a percentage of gross national income. The Prime Minister has also decided to raise the Photo by Steve Arstad Old Age Security (OAS) eligibility from 65 to 67 even Last week’s warm weather brought some extra beauty to the Similkameen with an explosion of though experts are advising blossoms.

Keremeos Irrigation District AGM attracts large audience Largest audience in years participates in AGM as reservoir controversy raises interest in Keremeos water supply By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The April 25 annual general meeting of the Keremeos Irrigation District attracted more attention than usual this year. Forty-five people were in attendance for the meeting, where one director’s position was up for re-election. Jordy Bosscha, a 15 year member of the board, lost his seat to Bob Thurston in a two way race. The meeting also dealt with the KID’s annual Report on Operations and Report from Trustees, during which the subject of the reservoir was raised. A number of questions were fielded regarding the controversial
project. Residents wanted to know about the present status of the reservoir project and the grant application. They were told that once the grant was approved, there would be public information meetings held, followed by a referendum. KID Superintendent Kevin Huey said that the irrigation district had been provided with a list of questions regarding the reservoir project prior to the meeting, and that those questions had been answered, in addition to further questions that arose from the floor. Huey also clarified that the location of the proposed reservoir was chosen by the engineering consultant as the optimum site and the district has only secured a statutory right of way. The ownership of this land is not in any way connected to the district and relevant to this project. The district’s $300,000 reserve fund for the reservoir remains intact, Huey added, saying that the money could only be applied to major system upgrades that had been identified in the 10 year plan.
Keep breathing, it’s over / continued from page 11 started yelling “Get inside him!” I interpreted this as feedback for me, thinking the judges might want to see more than just kicks; so I tried to go inside and found myself getting hooked in my already beaten and vulnerable diaphragm, folding me over, and my opponent scoring a point. My centre ref helped me regulate my breathing and told me “Keep breathing, it’s over”. This was almost the largest level of anti-climax I’ve ever felt. I fought the whole fight, winning, to lose. My, now isn’t that a level of humility all by itself? Of course I later found out, except for that Ippon (full point), I would have been victorious and won my first tournament fight. I would like to restate, Kyokushin isn’t just a club; it’s a community. When we fight, we fight our friends, enemies and teachers, all at the same time. And when I was done my fighting I bowed out of the ring, and turned around to all the people from my club, and from other club, to be congratulated. Now normally, losing is generally what you train not to do. However, as in life, you learn from your mistakes, and you learn from losing. Without the Oliver Dojo, and Sensei Mike Riplinger, this whole experience would not have been possible. I’d like to express great appreciation to all the volunteers and officials in attendance. And I’d like to personally thank Sensei Larry Robinson for making me stand up and keep fighting every single time I got knocked down. Osu no Seishin.
Home is where the heart is and a lot of your money, too. The kids are gone, retirement is on the horizon, or for a number of other personal reasons, you may be at a point in your life where you’re looking to unlock the equity you’ve built in your home over the years. Let’s look at three popular strategies for making that happen. Reverse mortgage This is a mortgage secured by the equity in your home but unlike a regular mortgage you do not have to make principal or interest payments -- a reverse mortgage pays you. Generally available only to those over 55 years of age, a reverse mortgage allows you to receive up to 50 per cent of the value of your home and you can choose how you want to receive the money, either as a lump sum, in monthly payments, or a combination of the two. The money is tax-free, you keep ownership of and all remaining equity in, your home but the full amount of the reverse mortgage come due when you sell your home or move out. Home equity line of credit (HELOC) This is a relatively new cash management option that allows you to combine your mortgage, loans, line of credit, and chequing and savings accounts into a single line of credit based on the equity in your home. With a HELOC, you can access up to 80 per cent of the value of your home (reverse mortgages are capped at 50 per cent) and take any amount of money (up to your approved limit) on your own schedule. Many financial institutions offer this HELOC option: You deposit money in your HELOC account (your paycheck, for example) and take money when you need it to cover dayto-day expenses or for any other reason. Any unused money from your deposits is applied to your loan principal, reducing the loan balance and minimizing interest charges. Downsizing With the kids gone, your home may seem too big. You can replace it with a smaller one at a lower price, move to a cottage (if you have one) or by renting and
MANAGING Your Money using the difference to augment your income, invest for regular returns, or pay down debt. There are pros and cons to each of these equity-liberating options. Ultimately, choosing the right one for you will depend on your financial situation and the lifestyle you want now and in retirement. Your professional advisor can help you make the best choice for your situation as it is today and as you want it to be tomorrow.

The intriguing world of Titan
Imagine an alien landscape; it is illuminated by a dim twilight. The sky is brownish, and the air is filled with an orange-brown mist. It is cold, about -180 degrees Celsius, but despite the low temperature, a thin rain is falling. At those temperatures it is not water; the rain is made up of droplets of liquid ethane and methane. Ahead, and stretching as far to the left and right as we can see are huge dunes, up to two kilometres
high: bigger versions of the ones we see in deserts here on Earth. We will need spacesuits to protect us from the cold, and also from the atmosphere, which is mainly nitrogen, together with a fog of assorted hydrocarbons. There is no detectable oxygen. We pick up a handful of “sand”, and find it to be a mixture of ice and hydrocarbons. Of course this is not Earth, or Mercury, Venus, Mars or the Moon. We are on Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, sixth planet out from the Sun; Earth is the third. Ti t a n i s e a s i l y visible through telescopes, as a pinkish/ brownish starlike object close to the planet Saturn, which is a moderately bright object in the eastern sky these evenings,
close to Spica, the brightest star in the constellation of Virgo. Through even a small telescope Saturn is utterly unmistakable; it is the only planet in the Solar System surrounded by a spectacular set of rings. Titan was discovered in 1655 by Christiaan Huygens. It was established pretty soon that Titan is unique. It is the only moon in the Solar System that has a significant atmosphere. In fact Titan is enveloped in a layer of orange-brown fog so thick that from space we never see its surface. When a Voyager spacecraft flew past, it just showed a ball of brownish fog. This situation remained until the arrival of the Cassini spacecraft in 2004. Cassini was designed to spend years exploring Saturn and its moons, and is
equipped with a radar mapping system that can penetrate Titan’s clouds. The spacecraft also carried another spacecraft, the lander Huygens. As Cassini approached Titan, Huygens detached and successfully landed on the surface of Titan, taking pictures all the way down. It revealed land and what looked like lakes and seas of liquid hydrocarbons. It landed on a dry streambed, and sent back pictures of rocks smoothed not by water, but by liquid methane and ethane. On Titan water is just another solid, rockforming mineral. While Huygens busied itself with its little bit of Titan’s surface, Cassini used its radar to penetrate the fog and map that strange world. There are volcanoes, mountains, plains and close to the equator, a huge
system of dunes, each stretching up to hundreds of kilometres from end to end. With all that organic chemistry going on, the idea of life on Titan is an intriguing one, but a definitive answer will probably have to wait until we turn our imaginary visit into a real one. Venus still dominates the western sky after sunset. Mars is high in the South, close to the brightish star Regulus, in Leo; Saturn is in the eastern sky, quite close to Spica, the brightest star in Virgo. The Moon will be full on the 5th.

health dolphin pose By OK In Health Dolphin Pose Step by Step 1. Come onto the floor on your hands and knees. Set your knees directly below your hips and your forearms on the floor with your shoulders directly above your wrists. Firmly press your palms together and your forearms into the floor. 2. Curl your toes under, then exhale and lift your knees away from the floor. At first keep the knees slightly bent and the heels lifted away from the floor. Lengthen your tailbone away from the back of your pelvis and press it lightly toward the pubis. Against this resistance, lift the sitting bones toward the ceiling, and from your inner ankles draw the inner legs up into the groins. 3. Continue to press the forearms actively into the floor. Firm your shoulder blades against your back, then widen them away from the spine and draw them toward the tailbone. Hold your head between the upper arms; don’t let it hang or press heavily against the floor. 4. You can straighten your knees if you like, but if your upper back rounds it’s best to keep them bent. Continue to lengthen your tailbone away from the pelvis and lift the top of your sternum away from the floor. 5. Stay between 30 seconds to one minute. Then release your knees to the floor with an exhale.

HOLIDAY BREAK IMPORTANT
Evidently 46% of people do work while on their holidays. But what is even worse is that only 35% of people plan to take a holiday longer than an extended weekend. This is down from 47% just two years ago. It’s important for our mental and physical health to take a complete break from our jobs on a regular basis.
CRANBERRIES MAY HELP
Cranberries contain compounds which prevent bacteria from attaching to the line of the urinary tract. Cranberry juice does reduce the risk of recurring urinary tract infections (UTI’s). If you are troubled by these infections, try a daily glass of cranberry juice. It just might help. If all else fails, low-dose antibiotics do work for prevention of UTI’s.
DANGERS OF SUN OVEREXPOSURE
Everyone is aware of the dangers of sun overexposure and also aware that sunscreens and “covering up” do protect the skin. This message is slowly getting through to teenagers as well. Melanoma, a type of skin cancer, can affect young people. Many agree that the term “healthy tan” is an oxymoron. This summer, be aware of the dangers of sun and use your sunscreen.
PARKINSON’S AND AGING
Parkinson’s disease is not a normal part of aging but as we get older, our chances of getting Parkinson’s increases. The average age of diagnosis is 60. Over 100,000 Canadians are battling Parkinson’s today. The cause is unknown but research on genetic and environmental causes are being studied. The drugs to treat Parkinson’s, although not perfect, do help the symptoms. Our pharmacists are always keeping in touch with the latest research on this disease.

The Review, Thursday, May 3, 2012 — Page 19
Unplug the MP pension money machine Canadian Taxpayers Federation If you could put a loonie into a machine and get $23.30 out every time, would you ever stop? Probably not. That human nature may explain why Members of Parliament have been moving so slowly to reform their platinum-plated pension plan. Unfortunately for taxpayers, we are that cash machine. Earlier this year, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) released a report showing that taxpayers put in $23.30 for every one dollar parliamentarians contribute to their pension plans. Some MPs snarled back at the CTF, claiming the numbers were wrong (they aren’t). Others made it clear they were entitled to their entitlements. A few shared the public’s concern that the payouts were too far out of line with what regular Canadians were experiencing. Still nothing has changed. The governing Conservatives have promised action, but the federal budget came and went with no specifics on MP pension reform. So the taxpayer keeps on paying. The dirty little secret about MP pensions is that they aren’t
invested into the market like other pension funds. They simply set an arbitrary rate of interest and taxpayers kick in whatever amount is necessary to make it grow by that much. Naturally, MPs settled on a return of 10.4 per cent per year—making it the best-performing pension in Canada. When the recession hit in 2008, the MP pension fund still grew by its legally mandated 10.4 per cent, while the Canada Pension Plan lost 18.6 per cent, the B.C. Public Service Pension Plan lost 14.2 per cent, the B.C. Teachers Pension Plan lost 13 per cent and the WorkSafe B.C. Pension Plan lost 11.2 per cent. Add to that an incredibly low eligibility threshold for MPs to collect—age 55, six years of service, fully indexed at age 60 and tied to CPI increases annually—and taxpayers are on the hook for millions and millions of dollars for a pension they could only dream of receiving themselves. It would take a normal Canadian nearly 30 years to save the nest egg necessary to produce the pension payout a backbench MP receives after six years of service—making the same monthly contribution. If he retired from politics in 2015, a second-term, opposition MP like Don Davies (Vancouver Kingsway, NDP) would
start with an annual pension of $33,148. If he collected until age 80, Davies would take home $1.07 million in total pension payouts. That’s basically the bare minimum for serving as an MP, after annually contributing $10,900 of his own money while in office. On the opposite end of the spectrum is Hedy Fry (Vancouver Centre, Liberal), who would start with an annual pension of $134,211. John Duncan (Vancouver Island North, Conservative) would collect $126,829. Dick Harris (CaribooPrince George, Conservative) would start with $118,236. And Libby Davies (Vancouver East, NDP) would have to make due with $94,818. These amounts are all indexed to inflation and increase every year—thanks to Canadian taxpayers. This has to change. The Conservative government has promised details of a new MP pension plan this fall, but taxpayers have been waiting years already—politicians continue to be reluctant to step away from the machine multiplying their money. It’s up to taxpayers to unplug the machine by putting pressure on their local member to support MP pension reform. Sign the CTF petition, write or call your MP and let them know that this pension inequity must come to an end.

letters / continued from page 7 disapproval of the park is overestimated by the zealous presentation of this viewpoint by its adherents. The highway signs that were posted in favour of the park were removed by anti park forces, and the only pro-park sign which survived had to be located very high on a telephone pole where the anti-park zealots could not remove it. Please note none of the anti-park signs have been removed, reflecting a commitment to free speech and the democratic process by pro-park persons. While it may be accurate to state that some of the most influential and powerful interests in the valley oppose the park, and do so loudly, I believe it is also true that the majority of people in the valley will benefit from the park. Most people here do not hunt regularly and do not own large cattle ranches. Many of the local businesses would benefit greatly from increased tourist traffic, and a national park fits well with the Cawston areas emerging recognition as the center and starting point of organic agriculture. Please consider this issue carefully, and resist the temptation to respond to the loudest argument rather than the best reasoned argument. Thank you, Karl Eriksen, Cawston

OBITUARY MOONEY VERNA MARGARET, August 7, 1922 - April 23, 2012: The world has lost a wonderful lady and we have lost one terriÀc Mom. Verna passed away at Haven Hill in Penticton Monday evening surrounded by family and the caring staff that she loved so much. She is survived by her three loving daughters, Carol Beecroft (Barry) Penticton, Sheila Mortensen (Chester) Williams Lake and Joyce Barcellos (Matt) Fresno, California as well as 8 grandchildren, Ryan (Alana), Blaine (Dana) and Dana, Clayton, Byron, Andrea and Jennifer (David), Justin and Samantha; 7 great grandchildren, 1 niece, Linda and nephews, George, Gary and Mike. She was predeceased by her parents and only sister, Midge, as well as ex-husband, Bob. Born in Edmonton, Alberta to Hector and May Edgar, she grew up in McBride, BC playing baseball and skiing but had to go to St. Ann’s Academy in New Westminster to get her grade 13. While working for the American Army in Whitehorse, she met and married G.K. Bob Mooney and, after living in the East and the West, Ànally settled down in Langley where she was the head of Medical Records at Langley Memorial Hospital for 30 years. In 1994 she decided to move to Keremeos to be closer to family, but not too close that we could just drop the kids off at any time. She had a great sense of humour, was a wonderful hostess, and a very loving, giving person. We would like to thank the wonderful caring staff at Haven Hill for looking after Mom for the last 4 years, you rock. As Mom loved a party, we will be having a Celebration of Life during the summer. Mom also loved her cats Joey and Peaches and would welcome a donation to the SPCA in lieu of Áowers. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.everdenrust.com

Joan was predeceased by her husband George in 2001 and her brother Owen in 2011. Joan was born in Vancouver B.C. on July 19, 1926 to Jack and Louise Cornett and big brother Owen. She married George Armstrong in 1950 and moved to Keremeos, in 1956, assisting George in running the family orchard. Joan, George and their family moved to Princeton in 1965 where George took up a teaching position. The Armstrongs raised their family in Princeton and in 2001 Joan and George returned to Keremeos where Joan lived until her passing at River Valley Lodge. Wherever Joan lived she became a valued member of the community, giving her time and energy to many community organizations and made many lasting friendships in both Princeton and Keremeos. Joan was a dedicated member of St. Paul’s/St. Cuthberts Church in Princeton and St. John the Divine Church in Keremeos. Joan’s sunny disposition and lovely smile endeared her to many, especially when she entered Orchard Haven in 2009 and River Valley Lodge shortly thereafter. Joan’s family would like to thank all the staff at those facilities for making Joan’s last few years safe and comfortable, their care and love in her Ànal days are sincerely appreciated. A service of remembrance of Joan’s life will be held Saturday, May 5, 2012 at St. John the Divine Anglican Church 607 5th Street at 11 am. In lieu of Áowers, the family ask that donations be made to the Orchard Haven Activities Fund.
