Local businesses oppose park By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The South Okanagan Chamber of Commerce reported last month that President, Holly Plante and CEO, Bonnie Dancey, just returned from the BC Chamber AGM held in Nanaimo. During a policy session, where members propose, support or defeat policies relevant to the province’s business community, the South Okanagan Chamber proposed two policies: - “Development Permit Timelines” offering solutions to developers and the red tape they must go through before the start of any development. This policy passed unanimously. - The Chamber’s “Establishing a South Okanagan Similkameen Na-
tional Park” proposal did not pass the resolution process. The mining community argued against the proposal along with Penticton Chamber Director, Jason Cox who argued that HNZ Helicopters is not comfortable with a national park being created. Also last week, as the SOCC argued for support of a national park in the South Okanagan - Similkameen, resource company Hi Ho Silver Resources announced plans for completion of a surface trenching and bulk sampling of the Silver Crown Deposit, which is within the company’s Fairview Gold Property in the hills west of Oliver. Hi Ho Silver Resources is proposing a surface trenching and 1,000 tonne surface bulk sample program.
The company’s 2013 exploration program will include surface trenching, geologic mapping, rock geochemical sampling and the collection of a 1,000 tonne bulk sample from gold-silver bearing quartz veins at the Silver Crown Deposit An initial resource estimate for the Silver Crown Deposit was recently announced, comprising an inferred mineral resource of 334,000 tonnes averaging 2.9 grams-per-tonne (“g/t”) gold (Au) and 17.9 g/t silver (Ag), for a total of 32,000 ounces (oz) Au and 192,000 oz Ag (at a gold block cut-off grade of 1.0 g/t). The South Okanagan Chamber of Commerce remains committed to supporting the park initiative, along with other partners like TOTA, and the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce.

Burned out hulks of seven vehicles line Main Street in Olalla Monday, June 10, after an early morning blaze of unknown origin broke out in or around the vehicles. The local assistant to the fire commissioner is currently investigating the fire, which resulted in one man being sent to Vancouver General with serious burns.
Keremeos firefighters respond to consecutive blazes Two fire calls almost within an hour of each other in Cawston and Olalla make for a busy end to the weekend for Keremeos firefighters By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Keremeos volunteer firefighters had their hands full on Sunday night with fires in Cawston and Olalla. The Keremeos Volunteer Fire Department received its first call at 10:49 p.m. with a call from Kelowna dispatch to respond to an orchard fire at Highway 3 and Barcelo Road in Cawston. The fire was believed to have been started by an orchard thinner whose campfire got out of control. While tending to that incident, another call took place at 11:51 p.m. to a car fire at the corner of Main Street and Highway 3A in Olalla. Firefighters arrived to find a number of parked vehicles on a property bordering Highway 3A and Main Street fully engulfed in flames. The vehicles included three cargo trucks, a motorhome, a truck and a van. Two nearby trees also caught fire.
“I first heard an explosion around 1 o’clock, said Robbie Killborn, who resides in a house on the property. “I tried to fight the flames with a garden hose, but when a nearby propane tank caught fire, it was like a blowtorch.” Killborn said a wind came up and a truck canopy near one of the vehicles caught fire. Several propane tanks vented due to the extreme heat, adding to the blaze and several loud bangs, from exploding tires, punctuated the night. “It went up fast,” he said, adding that flames got within 20 or 30 feet from his house. Both Killborn and his younger brother Randie Walter were burned in the blaze. Randie was ambulanced to Penticton Regional Hospital, where he was subsequently airlifted to Vancouver. He is currently in the burn unit, in intensive care with first, second and third degree burns to 60 per cent of his body. Randie was living in the motorhome at the time of the incident. Robbie sustained minor burns. “There was nothing we could do to stop it,” Robbie said, “it burned fast and hot.” A cube van containing personal effects belonging to a friend of Killborn’s was also consumed by fire. The fire is currently under investigation by the local assistant to the fire commissioner.
Amnesty program for prohibited weapons runs through June Call Keremeos detachment to surrender prohibited firearms with amnesty program
Contributed The BC Minister of Justice recently approved a province wide amnesty program over the 30 day period from June 1 to June 30. This amnesty will permit a time-limited immunity from prosecution for offences contained in Sections 91, 92, 93 and 95 of the Criminal Code of Canada for any person who voluntarily surrenders any firearms, prohibited weapons, restricted ammunition, prohibited device and prohibited ammunition during this specified time period. The amnesty will not be extended for any firearms that have been used in the commission of
an offence. This initiative is an important opportunity for identifying and removing unauthorized and unwanted firearms from the community and for enhancing public and officer safety across the province. Individuals wishing to participate in this amnesty program should call the Keremeos detachment (250-499-5511) with particulars of their firearm and to arrange for an officer to attend and take custody of the firearm. People are urged not to bring their firearms to the detachment. The amnesty specifically does not include section 94 of the Criminal Code which deals with Transporting a Firearm in a Motor Vehicle.

Shelley Thomson, Energy Solutions Manager for Fortis BC hopes to meet with members of the business community in Keremeos and the Lower Similkameen to inform them of incentive programs and opportunities offered by Fortis that may help them save on their energy bills. “Many small businesses don’t realize we have these incentives,” she said, adding that she plans to work through the village and Similkameen Country to co-ordinate an event in the near future. Shelley is shown in the photo with Keremeos Public Works Foreman Jordy Bosscha. She presented Bosscha with a cheque for $995, an incentive reward for the village’s recent upgrade to an energy efficient hot water system at Victory Hall.

Get to know what shouldn’t be in your backyard during Invasive Species Week Contributed You can help by learning how to identify invasive species that may be in your own backyard, or that could be hiding in the bilge of your boat. Invasive weeds are easy to report with the Report-A-Weed App, available for iPhone and Android smartphones here: www. reportaweedbc.ca. The Invasive Species Council of BC (ISCBC) works collaboratively with regional invasive plant/species committees across the province to offer a range of fantastic programs for the public to engage in to prevent the spread of invasives. For more information on the region committee in your area, visit www. bcinvasives.ca/general/regional-committees. This year during Invasive Species Week, check your property for invasive plants, and learn how to help by removing invasives and replacing them with similar native species. To help you make this transition, the PlantWise pilot program this summer is being launched to prevent the further introduction and spread of invasive plants in B.C. Invasive plants continue to be sold in many nursery and gardening outlets across B.C., and are traded as seeds, transplants or starter plants by gardening and landscaping enthusiasts. Over 58 per cent of invasive plants arrive in Canada as landscape plants, ornamentals, agricultural crops or plants for medicinal and research purposes, and can become so abundant and widespread that they out-compete native plants causing detrimental economic, social, and environmental impacts. Make sure that you are not spread-
ing these unwanted seeds. Before taking your boat out this summer, make sure you know how to properly Clean, Drain, Dry (CDD) your boat to prevent the spread of aquatic invasives. This summer marks the second year of the CDD program, and staff are on the ground in five high risk regions in the province – the Fraser Valley, South-Central Okanagan, North-Central Okanagan, the Shuswap, and the Central Kootenays. The Clean, Drain, Dry program aims to engage B.C. boaters and local communities, providing education to reduce the spread of aquatic invasive species by watercraft. The CDD initiative encourages boaters to clean, drain and dry their watercraft and equipment before moving to a new water body. This simple behaviour has the potential to result in huge positive impacts for B.C.; it can stop current infestations from spreading, and increase the likelihood that no new invasive species will invade our waters. Once an invasive species has colonized, the negative impacts can range from a reduction in natural habitat for wildlife, and limited access to lakes for recreational users due to the hazards posed by invasive species. Events in the Similkameen valley for the week includes: Thursday June 13 2 – 5 p.m., Keremeos, South Valley Sales, 813-5th Street. Bring your questions and samples to summer student Kirk. He will be on hand with information on escaped ornamental plants and other troublesome weeds in the region.

The Review
Publisher: Don Kendall 605 7th Avenue, Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0
Editorial Accountability hard to come by Last week’s story about two Keremeos taxpayers who were apparently mistakenly charged a late payment fee due to a clerical error at the village office brought a disappointing response from the Chief Administrative Officer, who offered bureaucratic mumbo jumbo to explain what happened. It’s a theme Canadians are finding all too prevalent in their dealings with those in the public service these days - an apparent inability by those running our public institutions to be accountable. We believe Keremeos taxpayers have a right to know how the error occurred, how many residents were affected, and steps taken to ensure that such an instance won’t happen again - not to point a finger in any direction, as everyone makes mistakes, whether they want to admit it or not - but to reassure the taxpayer that every dollar that is paid into the system is treated with respect - and accounted for honestly and openly. It’s the same reason we post annual remunerations and expenses paid to politicians and high salaried public officials. Today’s current imbalance between public and private sector wages demands that taxpayers have some idea as to what their elected officials and senior bureaucrats make and take home in expense payments. Because of the oppotunities to make salary and remuneration choices that are self serving at this level, public scrutiny is absolutely essential in order for there to be any chance of fairness in the system. As we have seen at the federal level with respect to the current Senate scandal over inappropriate expense spending, public scrutiny and the voice of public opinion is often the only thing standing in the way of such corruption, and it’s necessary at every level of government.

THE
Expense cleanup must continue at provincial level By Tom Fletcher Black Press As she unveiled her new cabinet, Premier Christy Clark promised a “line-byline” review of government spending to deliver a balanced budget this year. Statements such as this would have more credibility if politicians subjected their own personal spending to the same scrutiny. That’s still not happening in B.C. Expense accountability has come a long way in the last year, thanks mainly to the work of now-departed Auditor General John Doyle, who swung the cobweb-covered door open on B.C.’s secretive Legislative Assembly Management Committee. Chaired by the speaker and run by senior MLAs from both parties, the committee had been doing pretty much whatever it wanted with MLAs’ own expenses. Doyle’s audit found that MLA credit card bills were being paid without receipts, part of a lax accounting
system that included inaccurate bank records and inadequate management of the legislature gift shop and dining room. The operating budget of the legislature and constituencies runs to more than $60 million a year. Now-retired speaker Bill Barisoff asked the auditor to give a pass to the $119,000 annual allowance for each of the 85 constituency offices. Transfer amounts and payroll expenses were verified, but constituency expenses were not, likely because these records weren’t kept either. I’m not suggesting that there has been any misuse of public funds. The point is we don’t know, and the notion of an “honour system” for politicians’ expenses has become unacceptable. A similar toxic tale has been unfolding in the Senate in Ottawa. It has its own secretive committee called the Board of Internal Economy, which was forced into the open after trying to sweep Senator Mike Duffy’s housing claims under the red rug of
the Senate chamber. Duffy has lived in Ottawa for decades, first as a TV host and then senator, but he decided the rules were loose enough that he could claim his summer place in Prince Edward Island as his principal residence. An audit has also found he was claiming living expenses in Ottawa while campaigning for the Conservatives back east. It turns out the key ingredient in an honour system is honour. This mess goes back more than a century in B.C. and Canada, and has its roots in the British Parliament, where MPs and Lords had a system of claiming all sorts of expenses, including construction of a “duck house” and maintenance of the moat around an Honourable Member’s castle. Many years ago, British MPs convinced themselves that they were underpaid, and rather than create a public fuss by giving themselves a big raise, they would be able to top it up by claiming up to 250 pounds at a time without

receipts. Cheers! You can imagine how well that worked out. As one observer put it, the system was not only open to abuse, it was actually designed for it. Here in B.C., the next step is obvious. If you go to the website of Alberta Premier Alison Redford, you can easily find the link to her detailed expense reports, itemized for travel, meals, hotel rooms and so forth. Alberta cabinet ministers provide the same disclosure. B.C. cabinet ministers’ travel expenses are now reported, but only as an occasional lump sum. As a result of Doyle’s revelations last summer, B.C.’s Legislative Assembly Management Committee now meets in public, with transcripts of proceedings available. But MLA expenses are still not itemized. Total expenditures are being reported on a quarterly basis, but with no detail to explain why some MLAs have much higher totals than others. It’s time to sweep out the cobwebs.

Resident’s story differs from village response to late payment fees To the Editor: This is another case of “covering your ass!” The village last year did not deposit our post-dated sewer payment checks in the amount of $235 on September 30, 2012. By October 5, when my check had still not posted I sent my husband up to find out why it had not been processed...he in turn was told they would look into it. Our check finally posted on October 11, 2012. We remember talk of forgetting them in a drawer, so were deposited late. Upon receiving our 2013 taxes I noticed that we had been charged a $23.50 late penalty (the exact amount of penalty levied if you never paid your sewer bill)! Plus a
$.71 interest charge on the $23.50 penalty. My husband went to the village and asked why the penalty....he was asked to bring in last year’s sewer bill. Which he did, they said they reversed the penalty and interest charge. Upon returning home I looked at the receipt and it showed the penalty and interest was still being charged. On his third visit the situation was finally fixed! I maintain that if the village had deposited last years sewer bills on time....this situation would not have occurred! Keremeos citizens, read your taxes carefully, because I believe there are a lot of people being over charged because of this. Darlene Sutton, Keremeos
Stop trying to protect area for a select few To the Editor; I am writing in response to the letters written in the Herald by Tony Powel and Robert Handfield regarding the National Park Proposal and logging at Apex Mountain. It always slays me that these are either/ or scenarios for these people. National Park proponents make it sound as if the land will disappear or worse someone will start building condos on it if it is not made into a park immediately. What are you trying to protect the area from? The myriad of people who enjoy it now, including tourists? The fact is no person has been able to acquire crown land in B.C. since the “Homestead Act” was repealed in the 1960’s. Yes there are some exceptions, a small gravel reserve could be issued or heaven forbid a mine may start up. But even mines draw tourists. Have a look at the Mascot Mine in Hedley or check out how many people tour Highland Valley Copper at Logan Lake. As far as logging clear cuts retarding tourist growth - are you kidding? The only access to wilderness areas for most people
is by logging roads. Not many people are going to be skiing or hiking at Apex if they have to start walking from Penticton. Even the main road to Apex was built and paid for by logging at one time. Here is another fact. Clear cuts grow back. B.C. has the best reforestation program in the world bar none. I might also add that forestry is still the biggest economic driver in the Okanagan. Having travelled extensively in North America I can tell you that B.C. is the most diversified, beautiful, and bountiful area on this continent. The real value is that we can have our cake and eat it too. Mr. Handfield, so instead of promoting a National Park for a restricted elitist few, how about getting behind all industry in B.C. because it is industry, including tourism that pays the bills. We can responsibly log and mine in British Columbia forever and the tourists will still come in droves. Where the heck do you think they are going to go - Saskatchewan? Gordon J. Plews, Keremeos
Pro park supporters need to stand up and be counted To the Editor: The Village of Keremeos is doing a survey of residents’ opinions on a number of matters that affect us all. I do not find any of the questions to be based on arrogance. Please fill out the survey. To many of us, the national park question is not dead, but lies dormant because the pro park citizens, for whatever reason, are not speaking out in support of it. My question is: If the park does not become a reality, what happens to the habitat in the South Okanagan Similkameen Grasslands in 20 years time? Will it be broken up into
residential areas and small hobby farms by developers? The Wilderness Committee calls the area “B.C.’s arid paradise,” and is home to meadowlarks, bluebirds, badgers, grasshopper sparrows, canyon wrens, mountain goats, etc. This landscape is one of the most endangered in Canada. I am one of the pro park supporters who has been negligent about speaking out, but now feel supporters must stand up and be counted. Freda Easy, Keremeos
MP offers congratulations to area election winners To the Editor: As you are probably aware, there are four provincial constituencies in the federal riding of B.C. Southern Interior. I would like to congratulate my provincial colleagues, Michelle Mungall and Katrine Conroy on their re-election. As well, I would like to congratulate my new provincial colleagues, Linda Larson and Jackie Tagert on their election victory. I look forward to working with my four
provincial MLA colleagues in the best interests of those we serve. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my former MLA colleagues, John Slater and Harry Lali for their hard work over the past years. I certainly enjoyed our professional relationship and wish them all the very best in their future endeavours. Alex Atamanenko, MP, BC Southern Interior continued on page 17

Keremeos-raised saxophonist touring Okanagan-Similkameen with jazz trio Contributed Jonnie Bridgman is returning to the Okanagan-Similkameen and he is bringing his band. Born and raised in Keremeos, Jonnie has strong ties to the area. His most recent connection was a two year stint teaching music at Similkameen Elementary Secondary School from 2010-2012. Jonnie has performed in and around Keremeos in the past with various groups including the jazz/flamenco fusion quartet, Alboa and a unique jazz collective, Cherry-Pickle-O.

Regular council meeting in Keremeos short on agenda Village business light at June 3 meeting By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The June 3 regular meeting of Keremeos council must rank among the shortest on record. Council dealt with correspondence in the form of a letter from Lynn and Gary White of Keremeos, with an attached petition with approximately 15 names signed. The letter contained a request to have council do something about the Pine Park washroom’s close proximity to nearby residences. Council spent a few minutes discussing the matter. Council understood the issues surrounding the washrooms at Pine Park had been ongoing for several years, noting that $47,000 has been set aside in next year’s budget for washroom upgrades. The letter and petition were received. The Canadian Home Builders Association sent a let-
ter to council advising them of Canada Post’s interest in charging a new development fee of $200 per address for community mailbox sites. Council received the letter and added a recommendation of support for the Canadian Home Builders position: “The fee represents an unfair and unlawful additional financial burden onto the development community... we respectfully request that you not incorporate CMB (community mailbox friendly) provisions in development or servicing agreements, or the collection of fees on behalf of Canada Post. We also request that you not enter into CMB set up fee agreements with Canada Post.” Council also dealt with a motion to receive the Chief Administrative Officer’s report regarding the Official Community Plan. The OCP is at the stage where the adoption process can begin, with a final public hearing slated for June 24, starting at 4:30 p.m. Council also gave the OCP bylaw first and second reading. Council went into closed session shortly after 7:30 p.m.
Father’s Day event planned for the Grist Mill Wooden you like to be at this year’s Father’s Day event at the Grist Mill By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Hungry woodworkers are welcome at the Grist Mill this Fathers Day, June 16. The Keremeos Grist Mill and Gardens is hosting a pancake breakfast from 9 a.m. until noon, and from 11 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. the gardens will be dedicated to whittlers, woodcrafters and whirligiggers. The “everything made out of wood”
theme compliments the Grist Mill’s own architecture and make up. Visitors can revel in wooden artifacts available for viewing at the site, at the same time having the opportunity to observe the skill and artistry of those who work in wood with axe, chainsaw, froe, chisels, knives, saws, hammers, glue, drills, shellacs, saws and sandpaper. If it’s made out of wood, it’s welcome at the mill on Fathers Day. There are opportunities available to those wishing to sell or give a workshop about your particular woodcraft at the mill. Call Dave Cursons at the Grist Mill Heritage Club (250-499-5417), or Mill operator Chris Matheson (250-499-2888).

Shining a light on elder abuse Father’s Day presentation at Seniors Centre sheds light on an often hidden problem
By Ron Shonk PVPP and Keremeos RCMP Victim Services Coordinator All of us know elder persons. Most of us have elder relatives – moms, dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles. Many of us have elder neighbors. In many cases, the elders we know are especially dear people to us. Yet most of us are not very aware that our growing senior population is a target population for abuse. Often we aren’t aware of it for two major reasons: It is both hidden and underreported. Abusers both hide their behaviors from others and threaten and intimidate their victims into silence. In 2006 the United Nations officially proclaimed June 15 as “World Elder Abuse Awareness Day”. The Ministry of Health reports that as many as 10 per centof B.C. seniors will experience some form of abuse in their later years. Even in small communities like ours, these figures are likely accurate. This Sunday, June 16, Lower Similkameen residents of all ages are invited to a noon-time event to raise our community awareness of senior victimization – of the forms it takes and of how we can spot it and respond to it in positive ways. Hosted by our Keremeos Senior Center, the hour-long program is provided by PVPP – our valley’s Proactive Violence Prevention Project. Representatives of
area service agencies will also be present to respond to questions following this practical and informative presentation. Father’s Day is an appropriate time to give our attention to this crucial issue that lies hidden around us, for fathers and grand-dads – along with their own close friends – are among the growing numbers of victims. Your presence will be a way of showing your care for our senior friends and citizens. Dads, bring your families along with you (and then let them take you out to a fine dinner, afterwards). Opening its doors to us at 11:30 a.m., the local Senior Center will be serving hot dogs and beverages, preceding the noon presentation, for your pleasure and convenience. It’s an ideal time for Sunday morning worshippers to drop in right after church, grab a bite, and show their declared concern for the wellbeing of our older friends and neighbors. Or if you’re planning a day-time event with dad, start it out this way, and be off by 1 or 1:30 p.m. to continue your Fathers Day celebration. The Senior Center is right downtown, at 421 Seventh Avenue (“Main Street”). PVPP is a grass-roots, broad-community Project endorsed by over thirty local organizations, agencies, and businesses. It is administered by Lower Similkameen Community Services, which provides an umbrella of services and support to our community, including several senior and low-cost housing venues.

Plan now to pay yourself for all retirement years Retirement is coming at you faster than you expected – but that’s okay because you expect those years to be fulfilling, brimming with new experiences and activities. And you will enjoy the retirement lifestyle you’ve dreamed about if you plan now to be sure you’ll have the financial resources you’ll need for all your retirement years. And that could be for a lot of years. According to Statistics Canada*, life expectancy for seniors has been on an upward trend over the last 15 years. The foundation of your retirement plan is your retirement income – so you need to know where it will come from and how much it will be. Check these sources: ◘The federal government offers: ᵒ the Canada Pension Plan/Québec Pen sion Plan (CPP/QPP) that provides about 25% of your average annual earnings during your working life, up to certain limits. They are indexed annually for inflation and are taxable. ᵒ Old Age Security (OAS) benefits usually begin between age 65 and age 67. Benefits are taxable, indexed for inflation, and ‘clawed back’ in increasing amounts as your individual net income climbs above a threshold amount. ◘ Your company pension plan – possibly a defined benefit (DB) plan that guarantees a specific pension for your lifetime or perhaps through a defined contribution (DC) plan that doesn’t guarantee the amount of your future benefits. ◘Your registered and non-registered investments. To be sure your retirement income will last a lifetime: ◘Know the retirement lifestyle you want. ◘Estimate your retirement spending for essentials that aren’t easily reduced and discretionary expenses that you can control. ◘Assess your investment strategies. Consider a conservative strategy for essential expenses and a more growth-oriented strategy for investments to support your discretionary spending. ◘Manage your withdrawals from retirement savings. Establish a withdrawal rate that matches the size of, and expected return on, your retirement savings over the number of years you plan to make withdrawals.
MANAGING Your Money ◘Tax plan efficiently. Consider tax-reduction strategies like income-splitting, sharing CPP/QPP benefits with your partner, limiting fully taxable RRIF withdrawals, allocating assets effectively, using a Tax-Free Savings Account, and taking advantage of the taxsheltering benefits of your RRSP by making your maximum contribution up to the end of the year you turn 71. You can build a retirement income that fits your lifestyle dreams and will last for all your retirement years when you have the right plan – and that should start with seeking advice and counsel from a professional advisor who has the expertise to keep you on the right financial track for your lifetime. *The Daily, Thursday, May 31, 2012 This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

A spaceport in orbit
Anyone who has fought their way up hundreds of stairs to get to the top of a mediaeval building will have a full appreciation of gravity. Going upwards involves working against it, and that takes a lot of energy. This has been the main problem in our exploration of space. Everything we put into space has to be lifted from the surface of the Earth, which takes large amounts of fuel, costs a lot of money, and subjects the astronauts and space-
craft to a bruising experience. Most of the fuel for any ground-launched space mission, to anywhere in the Solar System, is burned in the first fifteen minutes. Part of the solution is to start our missions from Earth orbit. Ever since our first dreams of exploring space, there has been the idea of having a space station orbiting the Earth, which would be the starting-off point for space missions to explore the Solar System and beyond. The spacecraft would be built in orbit and launched from orbit. This solves part of the problem. Shipping parts and materials to orbit would save some money, but we will still be looking at multiple rocket launches and high associated costs.
The ideal solution is to minimize the amount of stuff we have to lift into space from the surface of the Earth. One approach is to obtain materials and possibly components from the Moon. The Sun shines unimpeded on the Moon’s surface, so there is a reliable energy supply, and the absence of an atmosphere and weak gravity means it will be easier to move materials from there to the construction site. We could of course build our spacecraft on the lunar surface, but for most space missions, fighting the Moon’s gravity would be the mission’s biggest task, so it would be nicer to avoid that problem too, and launch from Earth orbit. Another possibility being discussed for obtaining raw materials is that of mining the asteroids. There
are many millions of these in the Solar System, mostly orbiting between Mars and Jupiter. These range in size from dust to bodies up to a thousand kilometres in diameter. Some are mostly ice, others rock, and some of them contain useful metals. Robot miners could work on them, sending us the result. Of course sending lumps of metal weighing hundreds or thousands of tonnes in our direction poses certain safety issues we will need to address. Another possibility is to divert suitable asteroids towards Earth, parking them in Earth orbit. This also poses safety issues, even bigger ones. Mining makes a lot of tailings and dust. On the Moon there is no atmosphere to blow it around, and enough gravity to pull it down. The weak gravity of any as-
teroid small enough for us to move to Earth orbit will not be enough to hold down dust and mining debris, so it will end up orbiting the Earth as a new form of space junk, posing navigation hazards to astronauts and spacecraft. This does not mean that obtaining raw materials from the Moon and the asteroids is something we should not do, or that manufacturing components for our spacecraft on the Moon or in Earth orbit is impractical. These are all challenges we can meet. Venus and Mercury lie low sunset twilight. Saturn is high in the south overnight - a yellowish “star”. The Moon will reach first quarter on the 16th.

Letters / continued from page 7
Open letter to Penticton chamber To the Editor: Dear members of the board, I am responding on behalf of the members of the South Okanagan Similkameen National Park Network to the Penticton Chamber’s opposition to the motion, made by the South Okanagan and Kelowna Chambers, asking the province to re-engage in national park reserve discussions. Experience shows the national park reserve will provide significant economic, job development, and tourism benefits to the region – surely this goal is aligned with the chamber and its members. We believe that the Penticton chamber should be advocating for all their members, not just one. Across Canada, solutions are found to ensure that viable businesses, like HNZ, are not harmed when a national park is established. The choice is not between a national park and helicopter training - you can have both. There are hundreds of businesses across Canada that operate within national parks, e.g. ranches in grasslands, the mine adjacent to Nahanni, and ski hills in Banff. These businesses have legal agreements that guarantee their operations within those parks. The Director General of Parks Canada formally told HNZ, in writing on May 26, 2006, that they “will accommodate the flight training school activities as it currently operates.” To the detriment of businesses and communities in the region, HNZ has chosen to not share this letter with the public and continues to provide incorrect information, as they have to your Chamber. HNZ says that they currently have the business security to build a new five million dollar facility and are anxious about losing that security. In reality, less than 10 per cent of HNZ’s helicopter landings occur in the national park concept area. Currently these landing sites are secured with a 10-year renewable Provincial Park Use Permit. On February 27, 2008, the Director General confirmed that Parks Canada “would issue a
Park would provide benefits To the Editor: Last year I made a public presentation on the national park in Keremeos for members of the community and council members. I was especially interested in the openness and interest of the mayor and councillors who were clearly trying to consider what would be best for the Village of Keremeos. Ernie Marvin, in his letter to the editor, has ably outlined his option for Keremeos - hunting, quadding, logging and mining in the portion of grasslands that could be set aside for a small national park. The other option would be to preserve that area in a national park, keep it free from development or off-shore investment, and benefit from the economic, job development, educational, recreational and community economic development opportunities it offers - something that would support and enhance your lovely and unique village. The national park would bring more people to your businesses such as the grocery store, restaurants, gas station, rodeo, fruit stands, museum, festivals and B&B’s. There would be more permanent and summer job opportunities - both in the park and village. I believe that the mayor and councillors should be informed with correct information and continue to advocate for the best possible benefits for the village. I encourage all citizens to support their efforts. Chloe O’Loughlin, Vancouver
letters permit to Canadian Helicopters (HNZ)”. HNZ was also encouraged in this letter to share this information with “Chambers of commerce and others”, which clearly they have not done. Our hope is that the chamber will ask HNZ to provide the correspondence from Parks Canada and research how existing businesses get security when a park is established. Upon reviewing this information, we expect the chamber will change their position and work with other Chambers, the regional dis-

trict, ONA, and TOTA who are formally requesting that the province re-engage in the park discussions and where permits for HNZ can be developed. By being solutions-oriented, the Penticton Chamber can bring immense economic benefits, significant job development, and community certainty to all their members and businesses region-wide. Sincerely, Doreen Olson, Cordinator South Okanagan Similkameen National Park Network
Keremeos couple lose wallet, find honesty still exists To the Editor: I would like to use your medium to express my thanks to the bikers of the road these days. Unknown to my wife and I, we had learned that we had lost her wallet with a sum of money and all of her important papers inside. The bikers that found it used the address registered therein and brought it to our
home. On finding us not home, they took advice from people they questioned and took it to the senior’s drop in centre, who in turn told us it was there and we were able to receive it back. This goes to prove there are still very many honest people still around and we want to thank you and the Review for getting it back to us. Wilf and Audrey Miller, Olalla
