Premier makes campaign stop in Keremeos

Christy Clark made a brief stop in Kere-meos on May 1 as the provincial Lib-eral campaign swept through the Lower Si-milkameen and South Okanagan.

Clark’s entourage stopped at Sanderson Farms Fruit Stand, where the premier was greeted by Boundary Similkameen Liberal candidate Linda Lar-son. She purchased apples, provided photo opportunities to media and met with members of the Lidhar family and a number of party faith-ful in a brief half hour stop. Clark also spoke to the Review about some Similkameen concerns. See page 3 for full details.

Kaleden museum holding grand opening on May 11

The Kaleden Museum is holding

a grand opening on Saturday, May 11 from 2 to 4 p.m.

The museum has been three years in the making, its’ beginnings dating back to the Kaleden Centennial in 2009. At that time, an outdoor display of local photos and artifacts generated a lot of interest amongst Kaleden

residents. Addition-ally, $10,000 was raised during the centennial celebra-tions to put towards the establishment of the museum.

The Kaleden Museum Society, a registered charity, was formed with Susan Kelly serving as Chairperson.

Since 2009, the group has put

together some interesting displays of old photographs, artifacts and fruit labels dating back to the days when the fruit growing and packing indus-try dominated life in Kaleden.

The museum is housed in the meeting room of the Kaleden Com-munity Hall. Plans

are for museum operations on a casual basis for the time being. A sand-wich board will be placed in front of the community hall to indicate when the museum will be open to the public.

Kaleden and area residents are invited to come and have a look at the past this Saturday.

Concept began during

community centennial

celebrations in 2009

election news

Liberal leader, B.C. Premier Christy Clark campaigned through the Similkameen on Wednes-day, May 1, stopping brie� y at Sanderson Farms Fruit Stand in Keremeos.

While there, Clark took a few minutes from her busy campaign schedule to speak to the Review about some Similkameen issues.

Review: Has there been any

change in the Liberals stance on the proposed national park reserve in the South Okanagan - Similkameen since the release of a First Nations feasibility study in January?

Clark: No. No, you know, I

think there is a way we can protect the environment and protect the values that the First Nations are interested in, and the people who live here - obviously, it’s such a beautiful, pristine part of the province - we want to protect all of those values. But I think we can do that at the same time, without making it a park - and pro-tecting the economic values as well - there’s no reason why those things can’t work together.

So, I appreciate that they’ve done the work, and we should continue to have a conversation about how we can protect the envi-ronmental values, but I’m con� dent we can (do that) without making it a park.

Review: Small communities like

Keremeos take a beating dur-ing economic downturns like now. What does your govern-ment plan to do arrest that? I understand your bus passed through downtown Keremeos - you could see the vacant storefronts - and we’re losing government agencies, such as when Work Zone shut down here last year. What would your government do to help us out?

Clark:There are a couple of

things we could do. One of them is infrastructure spending.

Obviously, we need to build - this is an important corridor to get all over the country, to get into the U.S., so we need to keep invest-ing in infrastructure. The correctional centre in Oliver might be a little out of the way, but that infrastructure spending matters, it puts people to work, and it moves jobs into communi-ties as well. I would note on that, the

NDP would put a freeze on all capital projects, so I assume the correctional centre would be one of the things they would chop.

So that’s one thing we can do, but the big-ger thing we can do is invest in growing the economy.

So that means in-creasing our trade, and in agriculture there is a huge opportunity to expand our trade into China and India, because those middle classes are growing, and people are looking for a good, safe food supply, and our B.C. brand tops the world. So, on all the trade missions I’ve done, agri-food has been a real, central part of it.

Selling our berries, selling our fruit, selling our beef, pork, all of those commodi-ties are in very high de-mand. And when we create more demand, we raise the price here for agricultural producers.

It’s growing our economy and making sure we have a customer base for the things that we make, raising the prices for farmers.

Review: Your platform talks of

changes to the meat inspec-tion system. Does that mean that small producers will be able to set up local abbatoirs again?

Clark:We’re trying to get there,

in a way that will make sure that we’re keeping it abso-lutely safe.

Obviously, we do not want to com-promise food safety, that’s our number one concern, but yes, we’re trying to get there by chang-ing the rules a little bit.

So rede� n-ing the distance you have to be from a large abbatoir in order to be eligible as a community to have one, and allowing communities to have access to a mobile ab-batoir - we’ve already put the order in for a mobile ab-batoir. I could show you the

reciept - to move all around the province, to communi-ties that need it, because if they don’t have it, what a terrible imposition it is to small producers who want to get their animals pro-cessed.

People in B.C. want to eat locally produced beef, and the regulations we’ve put in the way of that aren’t doing anybody any good, so I’m really committed to simplify down those regula-tions.

It’s a challenge - to make sure we are doing it in a way that meets the federal and international guidelines, because we don’t want to jeopardize our market.

We’ve made some real strides in making it easier for ranchers, but we have more to do.

Review:You’ve added another two

million dollars to the “Buy Local” campaign. What will that entail - more advertising to buy local - how will that be invested?

Clark:

Well, what we’re doing at the moment is we’re work-ing with sales departments of the big grocery stores in particular so that we can really, prominently sell local. We’re doing the same with wine in B.C. liquor stores - really giving special (attention) to what’s local in stores.

Because I think part of it is, you’re busy, you come home from work, you’ve got to get home and cook dinner, and you only have a half hour to shop. You just go in and ... grab the apples, you know?

But if there’s a big pro-motion - people know they should buy local, I think - they know where they’re going to � nd the local stuff, and they know that it is lo-cal, that’s what they’ll go to. I really believe it.

So, that’s part of what we’re trying to do, and we’re doing it with the big grocery stores across the province.

We do it cooperatively, to sell our B.C. products.

election news

The provincial election campaign � nally made its way to the Lower Similkameen this week with a visit from Premier Christy Clark on Wednesday, May 1, followed by an all candidate’s meeting at Victory Hall on Thursday, May 2.

Four of � ve candidates on the ballot for the May 14 election participated in the meeting. Miss-ing was Doug Pederson, one of two independent candidates running in the Boundary - Similkameen riding.

Candidates were each given three minutes for opening remarks, who then introduced themselves to ap-proximately 60 people in the audi-ence.

John Kwasnica, Green Party- The Oliver resident works as a

residential care worker for a non-pro� t organization. He has provid-ed volunteer service to his com-munity through the � re department and in the development of Oliver’s hike and bike path.

As Green Party candidate, Kwas-nica spoke of the issue of climate change, describing his intent to “gather solutions from you to put together a better plan for a sustain-able economy.”

Kwasnica advocated clean energy jobs, local control and administra-tion of social and health services and lower taxes.

“Global warming is a bigger threat than our current economic imbalance,” he warned.

Sam Hancheroff, NDPA resident of Kaleden, Hancher-

off has been a lifelong resident of the riding, his former career as a District 53 school teacher having given way in retirement to work as a school trustee and a direc-tor with Kaleden’s irrigation district.

Citing the need for a change in gov-ernment, Hancher-off said his govern-ment’s policy would emphasize better education and skills training, as well as farm and orchard assistance, which

would include replant support and marketing programs.

Linda Larson, LiberalLarson said that her govern-

ment would support policies that encourage business and investment. She spoke of the need to balance budgets, with emphasis on health and skills training. Larson further described the need for “better bud-get management.”

Her government would not sup-port the national park proposal in its present form, giving creedence instead to the Land Use Manage-ment Plan, created and managed at the local level.

Her government would priori-tize rebuilding a business economy and development of the province’s natural resources.

Mischa Popoff, Independent:Describing himself as a “small

c conservative” along the lines of Tommy Douglas, Popoff accented the need to pay down provincial debt, bring the budget under con-trol and develop our natural re-sources.

“Why vote for me, an indepen-dent?” he rhetorically asked the audience. “What can I do for you?

I can do whatever you want,” he replied, describing his candidacy as an independent voice not subject to scrutiny or censorship by party lines.

“Who likes paying carbon taxes, Fortis hikes and the like?” he asked, “Why elect representatives to go to Victoria to be whipped into line by their parties?” Popoff urged voters to consider sending an inde-pendent voice to Victoria.

Moderator Carroll MacLean then asked the candidates about their personal knowledge of the area.

Linda Larson noted the recent failed referendum on the water reservoir.

“I thought it was a good idea,”

she said of the proposal.Larson also noted the park issue, organic agriculture, wineries and Keremeos’ many empty downtown storefronts.

“It’s the same everywhere, “ she said, noting that Oliver also has many empty storefronts.

Mischa Popoff commented on the area’s “niche market” in organic agricuture, adding that the bread and butter of agriculture in the area was non-organic agriculture. He noted that the national park con-troversy was a big issue due to the loss of sovereignty of a large piece of the region to the federal govern-ment. Popoff insisted that the area remain focussed on agriculture, seeing tourism as a � ckle economic resource because of its cyclical nature.

John Kwasnica told the gathering that he liked Keremeos, having re-cently participated in a work party at the Grist Mill. He expressed familiarity with the area’s exper-tise in organic agriculture, and like Liberal candidate Larson, agreed that Keremeos’ empty storefronts were a “universal phenomenon”. Kwasnica commented on the rustic aspects of the Keremeos’ downtown theme.

He also noted the national park as a contentious issue, but informed the audience that statistics show eight dollars of economic activity generated for every dollar spent at Canada’s other national parks.

Sam Hancheroff said that he was connected to the Similkameen over the years � rst as a teacher, then as school trustee in District 53.

“Agriculture is at the heart of our families,” he expressed, add-ing that empty storefronts were an issue. He also commented on local awareness of water issues, noting that human resources are shared between Keremeos and Kaleden’s irrigation districts.

election news

Last week, the Review asked local candi-dates a series of questions.

By presstime, we had only received an-swers from NDP candidate Sam Hancheroff and independent candidate Mischa Popoff.

Following are the responses of the two candidates.

1. What is your party’s position on the national park reserve proposal for the South Okanagan - Similkameen ?

Hancheroff: We need to restart the nego-tiations to bring all the affected stakehold-ers together to move this process forward. This is an important project, but one where we need to proceed in a way that addresses the concerns of all of those who make use of the area. My own history in local politics has given me experience with the impor-tance of consensus-building, and listening very carefully to all of our stakeholders before making decisions.

I went with a resident from Osoyoos who took me to a part of what would be the Na-tional Park above Osoyoos. I was amazed by the natural beauty, the lakes, the grass-lands, and some of the birds present at that time. In my opinion this unique ecosystem is a jewel that absolutely should be protected.

2. Small communities like Keremeos have a dif� cult time attracting and maintaining small business and government agencies.

What would your government do to help improve commerce in small, isolated commu-nities?

Hancheroff: New Democrats have de-veloped a number measures to support our resource economy through investments in healthy forests, increasing support for agri-culture which will promote agri-tourism, as well as promoting sustainable mining and exploration. All these measures will in-crease commerce in small towns. We plan to establish a “local business � rst’’ government procurement policy, starting with hospitals and care homes buying locally grown food.

3. What are your party’s commitments to the agriculture industry? What programs would you make available to farmers?

Hancheroff: When it comes to supporting agriculture, local farmers and orchardists will bene� t from the three programs pro-posed by the BC NDP – Grow BC, Buy BC, and Feed BC. Having managed a vineyard for the last twenty years, I have a personal knowledge of many of the issues facing those involved in agriculture and viticulture in this region. These programs will ensure that not only will we sustain the Okanagan Valley’s position as one of the premiere agricultural regions in B.C., we will also market this produce across the country and around the world, and ensure that patients in local hospitals and residents in local care homes are bene� ting from the healthy food produced right here, all while supporting the local economy.

4. How will your party encourage the pur-chase of B.C. agricultural products?

Hancheroff: Two of our new agricultural

programs are dedicated to do-ing just that. By restoring the Buy BC program that was cut by the Liberals, we will help market the wonderful pro-duce from our local orchards in other provinces, and beyond our borders. In addi-tion, our Feed BC program will increase the amount of locally-produced fruits and vegetables used by our hospi-tals and care homes. This will support the local economy, and will also ensure that patients and residents bene� t from healthy, local food.

5. What is your party’s posi-tion on the carbon tax?

Hancheroff: As the evidence mounts of the seriousness of climate change, the BC NDP plans to gradually expand the carbon tax to include “venting” emissions from oil and gas operations, and invest a portion of carbon tax revenues to support local and re-gional transit, green infrastructure, and cli-mate solutions in communities across B.C. We will dissolve the Paci� c Carbon Trust to direct levies paid by schools, hospitals, and Crown Corporations back to them to fund energy ef� ciency upgrades.

6. What is your position on Fortis’ two tiered billing system, i.e. the “conservation rate”?

Hancheroff: As a resident of Kaleden, I know � rsthand the effects of the new rate structure brought in by Fortis on those liv-ing in the region.

At a public meeting in Oliver, I spoke with a number of seniors who are strug-gling to make ends meet, and are at the point of being forced to choose between heating their homes and buying groceries. I believe strongly that we need to ensure that no one is left in this situation.

As a � rst step, I have written to the BC Utilities Commission, asking them to re-view this rate structure. In particular, I have asked them to focus on the increase in cost for residential rates, the usage level at which the second tier takes effect, and the fact that commercial rates are being reduced by 10 per cent, while residential rates are being increased by a further 2.5 per cent.

7. How should the province fund its heri-tage sites?

Hancheroff: A BC NDP government recognizes that maintaining heritage sites, like Grist Mill in Keremeos, is an important part of building a strong tourism sector. We support the conservation of the province’s heritage sites and believe that they should receive consistent funding. Changing the funding model for BC heritage sites is not one of the commitments we’ve tabled but should we form government we will meet with stakeholders to discuss ways of pro-tecting B.C.’s heritage sites.

Election

Remember to cast your vote

on May 14, 2013!

EditorialCandidates conspicuous

by their absence

With only a week to go before the provincial election, Similkameen voters must be starting to feel neglected.

The Similkameen does not seem to be high on politicians’ priority lists so far in this campaign.

BC Liberal leader Christy Clark has been the only party leader to stop in Keremeos, while both Adrian Dix and John Cummins so far have chosen not to make a stop here while stumping through the nearby Okanagan valley last week.

We are only aware of two candidates who have made two or more public visits to the Lower Similkameen so far in this campaign - Liberal candidate Linda Larson and NDP candidate Sam Hancheroff.

The other candidates - independent Mischa Popoff, and Green Party candidate John Kwasnica stumped through the village on May 2. A second independent candidate - Doug Pederson - didn’t even show up for the debate.

As far as we are aware, that has been roughly the extent of candidate exposure in the Lower Similka-meen.

The Review had similar results with a question-aire emailed to the candidates. Only two responded to the query prior to deadline.

Finally, during the all candidate’s meeting, Mod-erator Carroll MacLean asked each candidate what they knew of Keremeos and area. The responses from all four candidates were, at best, vague and generalized.

Perhaps in the final days of the campaign we’ll see a little more of the candidates. It would be nice to have some evidence from the candidates that the voices of the Similkameen matter, because who knows - with five candidates on the ballot, and widespread dissatisfaction amongst the electorate, the handful of votes up for grabs in the Similka-meen just might be enough to make a difference to one of the candidates this time around.

I’m concerned that many British Colum-bians are more focused on “change” for the sake of change rather than electing the party most likely to foster job creation and financial stability. Our province’s resource endowment has always been a mainstay of both jobs and the generation of revenues needed to fund social programs. From what I have seen and heard, an NDP govern-ment would rev-up spending while stymie-ing resource develop-ment through endless environmental reviews and or by just saying “no”, driving invest-ment to other provinces and other countries. We need new mines and gas fields, pipelines, refiner-ies, ports and processing plants to replace jobs lost by tech change and by events like the pine

beetle catastrophe.Economic develop-

ment and the protection of the environment are not mutually exclusive. Yes, we must be good stewards of our beauti-ful province, but we do have the technology to move the economy forward in an environ-mentally responsible manner. Saying no to new projects will mean job losses for currently employed and no op-portunity for young people looking to join the work force.

We also need to focus on balancing the pro-vincial budget, rather than taking money away from social programs to fund rising interest costs. Forty years of experience in business has taught me that too much debt is crippling. It scares me that the NDP have rolled out billions of dollars in new spending during this campaign, and their “every dollar is account-ed for” rhetoric just isn’t credible because

their anti-development attitude will reduce revenue at the same time as spending rises.

There is truth to the adage, “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”. The NDP came to pow-er in 1991 and governed the rest of that decade. Investment dried up and economic growth trailed the rest of Canada. A low point came when the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce thanked the B.C. government for driving growth invest-ment in Alberta. Glenn Clark’s 1996-1999 tenure was arguably the most disastrous for B.C. and with Adrian Dix, Premier Clark’s former Chief of staff leading the province, I’d be very worried about history repeating itself.

It took many years for the Liberals to re-pair the damage. Dur-ing their time in govern-ment, North America suffered through a major recession and yet we now have a triple-

A credit rating, higher than the U.S. govern-ment, allowing B.C. taxpayers the lowest possible interest rates.

Have the Liberals done everything right? Certainly not. The introduction of the HST by the Campbell government was badly handled. There have been other gaffes and ill thought out policies. And while there is a natural inclination for people to vote to change long governing parties, it’s important not to let the NDP sleepwalk to victory without think-ing about which party is likely to create jobs and not burden today’s young people with a mountain of debt.

I’m not asking that you agree with me, only that you think through the full consequences of your choice carefully. And then get out and vote on May 14.

Former B.C. businessman shares thoughts about upcoming election

letters

To the Editor:Dear valley neighbors:I know. It snowed on us again just last

week. Full-blown spring comes late here in our valley.

But there are signs. Before their full-ness the trees have a light in their eyes – the packed, swelling buds, the tiniest leaves, like baby exclamation points. Rough, bare vines appearing to be dead during winter also now begin their first barely noticeable spots of green. And the blossoms! The crazy, audacious blossoms, heralding new life and growth even before we can hardly believe it, not worried that the still cold winds will blow them off their limbs. They know. There’s life deep inside. The birds seem to take note before we do. They can’t stop talking about it: Deep down life force, just wanting to declare and bare its fruits. “So don’t despair”, they sing. “Have pa-tience. It happens. It’s happening. You can see it if you look carefully. Open your eyes. Have faith”, they sing.

Just so, I believe, with us. Crusty, cold humanity, sometimes deadly. Yet deep down inside pulsating with potentially

explosive amazing life force. Always there, always ready, ready and waiting, rooted be-low even the least likely-looking stump. To break open, to blossom, to reach skyward, to attain individuality and courage and cre-ativity, and yes – even unconditional happi-ness, we don’t have to do some outlandish thing. Just let the beauty of life spirit deep within come out.

That’s what meditation is about: Seeing the invisible, hearing the silence, knowing the truth that dwells inside each of us and surrounds us too. Waiting for us, like trees, to bear its fruit. Benevolent, beloved life force and source and sustainer. Meditating helps us look within and find It – always here, always now. How wonderful! Free, no-strings, no dogma, direct experience meditation classes begin in Keremeos Sunday morning May 19, and continue for six Tuesday evenings beginning May 21. If you’d like, contact me for more informa-tion - [email protected] - or call Marlene at 499-4822 and leave a message. I’ll call you back. Let’s do it together.

Warm Regards, Ron Shonk M.Div,M.Ed.,Olalla

To the Editor: Sometimes things happen just out of the blue that can be very comical.

I was just thinking of one such thing that happened on the street just back of the Bank of Montreal on Westminster Avenue in the old Grand Forks garage.

W.X. Perkins owned and Mike Larama was his foreman. Perkins and Mike were both Catholic. Mike was welding some-thing and the torch he was using was the best of the day but if you didn’t operate it properly it would explode.

Well - the inevitable happened and Mike

was blown down on the floor under a car. The Catholic priest was just passing by and rushed in to see what had exploded.

Well, Mike Larama was just coming out from under the car with fire all around when he saw the priest. His exclamation?

“My God! I thought I was in Hell with all that fire around but if you’re here I guess I must be OK.”

This is a true story. I was there after this happened and was told by some of the men. The time frame was about 1947.

Controversy has swirled about in the community of Hedley over a motor vehicle accident on March 30 of this year which claimed the life of 29 year old Steven Roy.

South Okanagan Traf� c Services have been conducting an investigation into the incident, which included traf� c services requesting the assistance of the Penticton Forensic Identi� cation Section, Collision Reconstruction and Pathologists.

Multiple versions of the incident were received by SOTS investigators, primarily

involving the identity of the driver. Forensic and physical evidence is consistent with the deceased male, Steven Roy, (no � xed ad-dress)being the driver of the vehicle at the time of the incident. There were a number of residents in Hedley who identi� ed another male as being the actual driver of the vehicle.

Forensic and physical evidence has eliminated this person as being a possible occupant of the vehicle at the time of the collision.

As a result of the investigation, the South Okanagan Traf� c Unit will not be recom-mending any charges in relation to this incident.

news

April 24, 2013, marked a major milestone for tour-ism in the Similkameen Valley. Over 40 stakeholders gathered in Princeton to celebrate the launch of the new destination brand and consumer website http://similkameenvalley.com. The branding project is a pilot project done in partnership between the Similkameen Valley Planning Society (SVPS) and the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA) demonstrat-ing best practice in marketing communications. The Similkameen Valley is the � rst in the region to utilize the framework of the Thompson Okanagan Regional Strategy, a � rst of its kind in B.C.

TOTA’s community development specialist Simone Carlysle-Smith led a collaborative effort working with SVPS’ Tourism Advisory Council (TAC) led by chair Joan McMurray.

The Similkameen Valley includes the communities and hamlets of Cathedral Lakes, Cawston, Chopaka, Coalmont, Eastgate, Hedley, Keremeos, Manning Park, Olalla, Princeton, Tulameen and Twin Lakes.

Elements of the marketing plan include: a striking destination brand with a logo, tag line, positioning statement, retractable banners, window clings, post-cards, golf shirts and presentation folders bolstered by professional imagery and an online storage system. There are great stories about things to experience in the region, an inventory of unique features, online resources and communications for local industry and a key feature in today’s tourist environment: responsive design website.

Responsive design uses one URL to serve the needs of multiple devices ensuring users can view information appropriately on any device whether it is a smart phone, tablet, laptop or desktop.

Behind the website and the technology the principles for the development of the brand, imagery and copy are based on the Thompson Okanagan Regional Strategy and the Canadian Tourism Commission’s Explorer Quotient (EQ) program.

The regional strategy is based on a better understanding of traveller values and building local capacity to serve those values while aligning marketing to connect with the visitor across the entire region.

The EQ program is an innovative market

segmentation tool based on the science of psychographics – an evolution of the traditional � eld of demographics. Instead of de� ning people based on age, income, gender, family status or education level, psychograph-ics look at a person’s personal beliefs, social values and their view of the world.

TOTA’s CEO Glenn Man-dziuk says this project will take the Similkameen Valley mes-sage to a level not seen before. “This launch does a fantastic job of integrating the principles of TOTA’s regional strategy, the Explorer Quotient experience developed by the CTC and the great opportunities for visitors to the Similkameen Valley.”

Destination BC helped to fund some of the key projects identi� ed in the SVPS tourism plan, through both its Commu-nity Tourism Foundations and Community Tourism Opportu-nities programs.

According to RE/Max realtor Jeff Queen, Kaleden’s Sickle Point property has been up for sale for a year now.

A large sign is now on display on the property, facing the Kettle Val-ley Railway rail trail.

ReMax’ on line real estate ad describes the property as:

“CONTINGENT. Own your very own piece of lakefront para-dise. Locally known as Sickle Point, this 4.81 acreage is the perfect site for an exclusive, private estate! Over 2,000 feet of incredible lakefront. Views of the mountains, Okanagan Falls to the south and Penticton to the north. Subdivision Application in process.”

Property taxes are listed at $5,471.

Sickle Point is also described on line at the property’s own website, accesible at:

www.sicklepoint.com“Sickle Point – Kaleden, BC

Sickle Point, com-prising 4.87 acres, is aptly named with over a third of a mile (1,768) feet of waterfront. This one of a kind property in the South Okanagan, British Columbia is one of the most unique properties available for sale in North America.

Situated on Skaha Lake, the waterfront to the north features a gradual sloping sandbar stretching over 100 yards and to the south an ecological reserve. There is an abundance of wildlife with over 100 species of birds, � sh and deer that often roam the property.

This remarkable property is the perfect estate. This property is ir-replaceable.”

The website describes two pos-sible scenarios for the property:

- subdivided into � ve separate lots

- a single family estate of 4.34 acres with .98 acres of buildable

area and 1,778 feet of shoreline.At the end of Alder Avenue,

where a highly controversial access road extends along the shoreline to the Sickle Point property, another sign has been recently erected that reads:

“Public NoticeMinistry of Environment Section 9Water Act Application Remove road � ll in lake Restore shoreline See: www.sicklepoint.ca”

election news

1. What is your party’s position on the national park reserve proposal for the South Okanagan - Similkameen ?

Popoff: I’m dead-set opposed. How many times do we have to say “No”? You can’t farm in a national park. Banff and Jasper were established before any farm-ers settled those areas. Turning any of the ranches and farms of the South Okanagan-Similkameen into a national park is tantamount to turning downtown Kelowna back to what it was before it was settled and developed. Anyone who supports the national-park proposal should go and work a month on a ranch. ‘Til then they have no right to even hold an opinion.

2. Small communities like Kere-meos have a difficult time attracting and maintaining small business and government agencies.

What would your government do to help improve commerce in small, isolated communities?

Popoff: When the economy of British Columbia improves, small communities like Keremeos, Cawston, Ollala and Hedley will all boom just like small towns all across the Prairie region are boom-ing today. Pay down the debt, at-tract more businesses by eliminating useless regulations, and we will all prosper.

3. What are your party’s commit-ments to the agriculture industry? What programs would you make available to farmers?

Popoff: The question isn’t what programs I would make available to farmers, rather, what programs I would eliminate. Start with this province’s useless and highly dam-aging Meat Industry Regulation (MIR) which has destroyed the local meat-processing industry in B.C., and along with it a great deal of ranching. Premier Gordon Campbell imposed MIR on this province in the name of public safety, but there was and remains no evidence that local meat-processors posed any threat whatsoever to the public. Quite to the contrary in fact: all deaths attributable to consum-ing unsafe meat have come from

large-scale plants in Alberta. The next program to eliminate is the planned On-Farm Food Safety program. Again, there is no evidence that farmers in this province pose any threat whatso-ever to the public. Leave farmers alone. They feed us.

4. How will your party encour-age the purchase of B.C. agricul-tural products?

Popoff: That’s a secret that I will reveal to the executive of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association at their next meeting. Please stay tuned. All I can say is that it will require very little government involvement.

5. What is your party’s posi-tion on the carbon tax?

Popoff: Eliminate it! We smoke, drink and burn fossil fuels just as much as Americans do, and they pay half the tax on those things that we do. So clearly “sin” taxes don’t work as a deterrent. What’s more, we already pay about 50 percent in tax whenever we fill up our gas tank, so how is another four or five percent going to make any dif-ference? It’s a tax grab, plain and simple, and it must be eliminated.

6. What is your position on For-tis’ two tiered billing system, i.e. the “conservation rate”?

Popoff: This is also a tax grab, plain and simple, and it must also be eliminated. The “prob-lem” from the B.C. govern-ment’s distorted perspec-tive began when British Columbians actually began conserving energy about a decade ago. The bean counters in Victoria realized less revenue was rolling in as a result, so they raised the water rate for Fortis, and then subsequently rubber-stamped Fortis’s request for a rate increase and two-tiered billing. It’s our power. Stop taxing us for using what’s ours. And once we get that straight, start rewarding us with dividends every time our power is sold outside of B.C.

7. How should the province fund its heritage sites?

Popoff: This province is broke. We’re teetering on have-not status and risk becoming a West-coast ver-sion of Quebec. It’s rather difficult, if not absurd, to discuss funding heritage sites when people are out of work, farmers can’t get their kids to stay on the farm, and logs are leaving the province without even being milled. Once we get the economy back on track, there will be money once again for heritage sites. But ‘til then, they’re at the bot-tom of my list of priorities. People are hurting, and I don’t hear anyone asking about heritage sites on the campaign trail. No one.

* Seniority rules: In 2011 the district was the third “oldest” of all others, with 28 per cent of residents age 65 or older. It was bested only by Saanich North and the Islands and Parksville-Qualicum.

* In 2006, Boundary-Similkameen had the highest proportion of family income deriving from government transfers of any region in B.C., well ahead of its nearest rival for this spot.

Did you know? Boundary Similkameen riding facts

Buying your first home is a thrill, a lifestyle commitment and probably creating the largest debt you will ever take on. But when is large too large? How much house can you really afford?

That’s a tricky question with no easy an-swers. Your lender determines your eligibility for a loan through two simple calculations:

◘the Gross Debt Service Ratio (GDSR) that considers your monthly income versus your proposed new housing costs (including mortgage payments, property taxes, and/or 50% of condominium fees, if applicable);

◘the Total Debt Service Ratio (TDSR) that measures your gross monthly income versus your total debt obligations (such as loans, car payments and credit card bills).

These are useful ‘loan eligibility’ indica-tors -- but they don’t give you an accurate assessment of the mortgage amount you can realistically afford. Here are some tips to help make sure your dream home is a financially comfortable fit.

Look to the long-term You’re going to be in your home for many years and your financial obligations will change over time. Assess your current annual household income and then consider the financial impact of changes like having children or one day moving from a dual-income to single-income situation.

Look at all the costs When you’re caught up in the home buying process, it’s easy to overlook costs like closing costs, home-owner’s insurance, home maintenance costs and even the new furniture you’ll need to buy. At the time of purchase, the assessed value of the home is typically increased to match the purchase price. If the previous assessed value was low, the new assessment can materially increase the amount of property tax you’ll have to pay versus what was paid by the previous owner.

Look at your purchase realistically Once you’ve got an accurate fix on the real cost of your dream home, consider the finan-cial trade-offs you’re willing to make. Maybe a smaller house would give you more lifestyle and spending flexibility? Or are you willing to

I can afford that house – or not

put your family on a tighter budget in order to af-ford a bigger home?

Look to your plan Work with your profes-sional advisor and a mortgage planning special-ist to incorporate your housing costs into your overall, long-term financial plan. Determine which mortgage options and payments work best for you. Look at your current spending and lifestyle, how your earning power will change over time, and how much you’ll need to save for retirement.

That way, you’ll feel perfectly comfortable in your new home, safe in the knowledge it’s a home you can really afford – now and in the future.

A few days ago, Herschel ran out of gas,

and we finally lost the use of a powerful astronomical tool. Fortunately, over the roughly four-year working life of this orbiting observatory, it produced a � ood of new scienti� c in-formation and dis-coveries.

Most of the mate-rial in the observable universe is dark and cold: gas and dust at temperatures around -260 C. This makes it hard to observe, which is unfortunate

because this fasci-nating stuff is the raw material for making galaxies, stars and planets.

The process starts when some local event, such as the explosive death of an old star destabilizes a cloud of gas and dust, so that it starts to col-

lapse. Unfortunately, this is totally invis-ible to our eyes or conventional tele-scopes, especially those located on the Earth’s surface. On the other hand, these cold clouds are warm enough to emit electromag-netic radiation with wavelengths in the millimetre region, which puts it in the twilight zone of the spectrum, between long-wavelength in-frared radiation and short wavelength radio waves.

On May14, 2009 the Herschel space observatory was launched. Named after the British astronomer, it was designed to image the sky in the mil-limetre wavelength range, and intended to study the forma-tion of stars and galaxies, and the chemical processes taking place in those dark clouds.

The sensitivity of the devices to make measurements and images in astronomy is related to their temperature: the colder the device, the greater the sensi-tivity. Herschel’s instruments needed the best attainable sensitivity, which meant making them as cold as possible. There is a limit as to how cold things can be. Temperature is a measure of the vibration and mo-tion of atoms. At a temperature of –273 Celsius all that motion has stopped. Since one cannot go

slower than station-ary, there is no lower temperature, so we call that limit “ab-solute zero”. Her-schel’s detectors were cooled as close as possible to absolute zero. To do this the spacecraft carried 2,300 litres of liquid helium. On April 29 the � nal drops were used up. Herschel’s useful life was over.

During its op-erational lifetime, Herschel showed the gas and dust clouds in our galaxy, the Milky Way, to be extremely complex. For example, they can occur as com-plicated networks of thin � bres. The satellite also provided insights as to how these structures can be made to collapse, forming new clouds. It also provided im-ages of embryo stars, still deeply embedded in their birth clouds.

Herschel also showed us stars forming in distant galaxies. Because light from those gal-

axies takes millions or billions of years to get here, when we observe them we are looking back in time, at a younger universe. Herschel saw stars forming at a prodigious rate: bright, giant blue stars living short lives and then exploding, seeding the universe with the elements needed to make plan-ets, and us.

Herschel’s � nal mission will be to � re its thrusters to push itself into orbit around the Sun, so that it won’t be a navigation hazard for other space missions.

Jupiter is still unmissable, but is getting low in the western sky in the evening. Saturn rises before sunset and is well up in the east by dark. The Moon will be new on the 9th.

Ken Tapping is an astronomer with the National Research Council’s Dominion Radio Astro-physical Observatory, Pentic-ton.

Out of gas

health

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

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

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

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

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

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

Have you ever felt like one of your parents has cosmically transmitted themselves from thousands of miles away or perhaps from another dimension, in through the top of your head and out the end of your finger? Ever heard the very words you swore as a child or teen that you would never say falling out of your mouth? Ever thought, “Oh my God, I have become my mother/father!”

Of course, that can be a wonderful thought – when you are replicating one of their traits or behaviors that you so love and want to pass on to your children. For example, one day as one of my favorite dance tunes played on the stereo, I was dancing around while my pre-teen daughter was sitting at the table, one hand cupped underneath her chin and supporting what appeared to be her very heavy head while the other shoveled cereal from the bowl in front of her. She watched glumly for a moment, then sighed heav-ily as she rolled her eyes and exclaimed with exasperation, “Mom!” she said, forcing the words through her clenched jaw, “How come you’re so weird?!!!!”

Without missing a beat, I danced right on up to her, slipped an arm around her shoulders, smiled broad-ly, and looking her right in the eye replied, “Honey, I’m weird because my mother was weird. But you know, I’m weirder than my mother was,” and after pausing long enough to really let that information settle in, I added, “It’s genetic!” Indeed, traits and characteristics do appear to be genetic for today, at 18, she is quite happy and free to let loose and express her joy, even if it does make her a little “odd.”

But what about those traits we don’t want to inherit and pass on? Studies show that we will replicate 85% of our parents’ behaviors unless we consciously choose to change them. That’s the key – consciously choose – most of us are unaware of those patterns.

Awareness is the first step. Watch your children at play – have you ever heard your child giving his or her doll or dog the very same lecture you dished out earlier? What about body language? Have you ever recognized people from the same family through their gestures? And what are their gestures saying?

Years ago friends and I were enjoying a cup of tea when my two year old ran into the room, searching frantically for his favorite little tractor. “Sorry honey, I don’t know where it is,” I told him. With that he turned on his heel, lifted his shoulders and blew out an exasperated, “Hhhhhhaaaahh!” Maggie’s Bio: Maggie Reigh is an international speaker, playshop facilitator, and storyteller, as well as a certified hypnotherapist.

THE BAND-AIDIt was back in 1920 that Johnson and Johnson introduced the Band-Aid. It was the first bandage to be manufactured with tape attached to allow it to be affixed easily to a minor cut.

COFFEE AS PICK-ME-UPCoffee is a natural pick-me-up due to its caffeine content. In moderate quantity (2 - 4 cups per day) it’s safe for most people. After one cup of coffee, it takes about 90 minutes for the caffeine to reach its maximum concentration in the blood and can take from 3 - 7 hours for it to be cleared from the body in the urine. Pregnant women take longer to metabolize the caffeine so should drink less (1 - 2 cups).

THE ‘SPF’ FACTORAs the days become longer and sunnier, it’s a good time to remind everyone of the importance of sunscreens. Sunscreens have Sun Protection Factor (SPF) numbers on them to indicate the degree of protection. Use ones with an SPF 30 or higher.

CORRECT AMOUNT TO USEApply sunscreens correctly. It takes about a teaspoonful for each leg, chest and stomach and back. Use a little over a half teaspoonful for each arm, your face and the back of the neck and ears. Let is soak in for a half hour before you go out in the sun and reapply if you are sweating or swimming. Some sports sunscreens are thicker and stay on longer.

Take charge of your own health and take steps to prevent problems from occuring. Since sunburns are the main cause of skin cancers, use of sunscreen lotions is a good example of taking charge.

Time management tips for working momsThe responsibility of raising a family while maintaining a career is never easy. Working moms often wish there were more time in the day to spend with their families or get more done at the office. While there’s no way women can add a 25th hour to their days, there are ways to manage your time more effectively so you can get around to doing those things you never seem to have the time to do.* Get a head start. Perhaps no time of day is more hectic for a working mother than the morn-ing, when she must get ready for work while getting the kids ready for school and ensuring they have a good breakfast. Some moms even drop their youngsters off at school. That’s a lot of tasks to tackle before you even sit down in your office to answer the first e-mail or listen to the morn-ing’s first voicemail. To make mornings less frantic, get a head start the night before by laying out the next day’s clothes for you and encouraging your kids to do the same. Preparing lunches, packing a gym bag and even setting the coffee maker can all be done the night before to save you time and make mornings more relaxing.* Take public transportation to work. Public transportation may not be available to all work-ing mothers, but those with access to a train, subway or bus might want to take advantage of that opportunity. If you do, you can spend your daily commute catching up with work instead of sitting in traffic behind the wheel of your car. Even if public transportation takes a little more time to get you to work than driving yourself, that extra time can be spent preparing for the day ahead.* Catch up on work over the weekend. The weekends are a time when many working mothers look to unwind, but spending an hour or two catching up on work on a Saturday or Sunday morning is a great way to make the week a little less hectic. As the week progresses toward the weekend, set aside certain tasks that aren’t urgent but can be easily addressed in an hour or so over the weekend. This frees up time during the week to tackle larger projects and might even allow you to leave your office earlier on weekdays.* Prepare or even cook meals in advance. The days of yore when mom cooked all the meals are largely a thing of the past, as nowadays both parents tend to share cooking duties. Moms can cut down on the time it takes to serve up family meals on weeknights by cooking meals in advance. Think of dishes you can prepare on the weekends and then freeze until you’re ready to serve. Or purchase a slow cooker that slowly cooks your meal all day while you’re out and about. By the time you and your family arrive home at night, dinner will be ready and you will have more time to relax after a long day.* Share the work. Sharing your workload pertains to both home and the office. At home, don’t feel like you have to be a superhero capable of handling all of the household tasks like cooking, cleaning and walking the dog on your own. Share these responsibilities with your spouse and even your children when they’re old enough. At the office, don’t be afraid to delegate tasks to your coworkers or ask for favors from cowork-ers who might be able to help. Managing time effectively is of paramount im-portance for working mothers. Learning to do so effectively can make for a better personal as well as professional life.

The Mother’s Day Walk began in 1983 when Ameri-cans accepted an invitation to receive a cruise missile back from Canadians who were protest-

ing American cruise missile tests at Cold Lake, Alberta. The Americans ceremo-niously received the missile and after-wards attempted to very publicly deposit it at a U.S. military installation

near Seattle.The meeting of

U.S. and Canadian peace activists has continued each year since 1983. Partici-pants advocating for peace, justice and the environment play music, dance,

perform skits, give talks, recite poetry, renew old acquain-

tances, commemo-rate the passing of some past marchers and receive special guests from various organizations in the U.S., Canada and abroad.

The event runs

from 2 to 4 p.m. Authorities on both sides of the border are contacted annu-ally and have been gracious in welcom-ing walkers to settle in together for the annual event.

The Doukhobor Community of the B.C. Southern Inte-rior, other Canadi-

ans from the Okan-agan-Similkameen and Americans from Republic, Tonasket, Omak and Oroville are the organizers and the mainstay of the annual event.

On Mother’s Day, Sunday, April 12 American walkers leave the Oroville Library at noon.

Canadian walkers leave Haynes Point Provincial Park at 1 p.m.

Celebrations at the border are from 2 to 4 p.m.

For further infor-mation, call Canadi-ans at: 250-499-5417 or 250-442 -8252 and Americans at: 509-485-3844.
