Draining of Marshall Lake began last Wednesday, Oct. 17. Tara White, senior fisheries biologist with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations in Penticton, told The Times that as of Monday evening the lake has dropped about a metre and a half, of the approximately seven metres in total that it will be drained. White said the crew working to drain the lake had not reported any problems with those opposed to the draining of the lake. The Marshall Lake Stewardship Group on Facebook has posted several pictures and comments about the pumping. She said, “We’ve had lots of visitors up there to see what is going on. A lot of questions and we

are just clarifying why we are doing it. Some of the people don’t even realize – they haven’t heard both sides of the story, so it’s just explaining the public safety concern and the issue with the pipe and the dam; that we are just taking the pressure off of the dam basically to reduce the public safety risks.” Richard and Donna Gottselig own a cabin and recreation property adjoining the lake. Richard said that the government is still talking with his family though he is not optimistic about being fully compensated for loss of property value. He is hopeful that a change in government in the May election will stop the decommissioning of the dam. “It is not officially over until they decommission the dam,” he said.

His explained his main concerns as loss of property value; that access to their property be provided to acceptable standards; and, if the dam is decommissioned, that it be removed such that the site is back to what it was originally. White confirmed the site remediation request. “That’s one thing that they have asked and we said we would look into.” She said a feasibility analysis is needed. “We‘re not even at that Phase 2 stage right now,” she advised though. “Right now we are just at the Phase 1 of trying to address the public safety concern and to lower the lake level to take the pressure off of the dam.” Area D Rural Director Irene Perepolkin repre-

support the use of a village rightof-way. “I think it is setting a precedent again,” she remarked. Mayor Randy Kappes said that council needed to consider that when people request the use of road allowances, there are going to be different uses. “Like for construction uses,” Kappes said. “I know bins quite often get put on allowances, I have seen people have sea-cans dropped off and used for tool usage and construction material storage. We have in the past approved use of road rights-of-way for RV parking and gardens.” “But haven’t we tried to change that though?” asked Rotvold. “Wasn’t that the purpose of cleaning up lanes?” Kappes replied, “I think when we started down the road with lane cleanup it was to make it so that there was access all the way through so that anybody needing to use the lane to get to their

City to consult residents

The City of Greenwood has begun a one-month consultation with residents about options to deal with a deficit in the cities garbage collection account. A memo for council prepared by Interim CAO Dan Zabinsky provided background information and detailed four options for consideration. According to the memo the garbage collection deficit in 2010 was $11,322, and in 2011 it was $7,339. Administration’s recommendation is Option 3 – To charge a flat service amount of $80 per year for each residential and commercial unit (vacant land excluded). This will cost each unit $1.54 per week for garbage pickup. “The rates for bag tags do not reflect the current account deficits, but additionally they do not reflect the need to accrue monies for the future purchase of a garbage truck,” said Zabinsky’s memo. “It is estimated that the current garbage truck, if kept in good shape could last another ten to fifteen years.” However a future purchase of a used 15-year old machine would cost an estimated $50,000 and in order for the service users to pay for this future purchase it would require approximately $3,000 per year to be collected over and above current year expenditures, and for this amount to be placed

I don’t want us to be looking at a whole bunch of ‘well we’ll let it here, but not there.’” *** Councillor Dick Dunsdon reported that the community garden executive had had a meeting recently and decided they are going to scale back operations next year. “We have got enough money in our bank account, that place will look after itself forever,” he said. The community garden will not be producing for the local market to the extent it has in the past two years and there will not be a major garlic crop next year. *** Councillor Darrin Metcalf reported a verbal complaint he received from a resident about a semi-truck and/or trailer parking on a village right-of-way. Kappes told council that when the issue had come up at a previous council meeting they had decided that since there wasn’t a lot of local industry at the time ‘these people are handy to have around town’. However, he said that past complaint had been about parking trucks in residential areas, while this one was made about a commercial zoning. Options will be investigated and the question brought to the next council meeting.

in a reserve fund for future capital expenditures. “With a current service deficit of approximately $7,000 to $10,000 per year and a need to collect $3,000 per year for reserve for future capital expenditures, there is a total need to increase rates by $10,000 to $13,000 per year just to breakeven. Council was given four options: Raise bag tag fees to cover only the deficit, and optionally raise tag fees to provide funds for future capital purchases. Charge a flat amount of $50 per year to each residential and commercial unit to cover the cost of the service.

property was able to get there. “So it seems to me that we are going to have to think about what we are willing to allow and what we are not willing to allow because it is going to make life difficult for some projects if we don’t allow anything.” Schierbeck said he had no problem letting people use the shoulders or rights-of-way for sea-cans or while they are doing their construction projects. “It’s a temporary thing and I am sure that when the construction is finished it’s cleaned up, removed, and a done deal. And I don’t see anything wrong with that. But for somebody to put up like a temporary garage or something – sort of a semi-permanent structure on the rights-of-way or in the lanes or whatever – I don’t agree. Put it inside their property – end of story, there is no more arguing.” Kappes asked Administrator Jim Madder if the village has policies in place that give direction in regards to laneways and road allowance use. “We don’t need a policy because it is our property,” said Madder. “Agreed,” Kappes said, “but it would give us room to make allowances for like construction use.

Fair meeting loud and overexcited

The Rock Creek and Boundary Fair Association had to endure another loud and overexcited meeting last week with the MacDonald Commission report, which recommended that the president and treasurer be asked to resign, was on the agenda. The report was written as a result of an impasse that has plagued the board all year long. In February a request was made by association members to see financial statements and supporting documentation. Soon after, it was revealed that financial records had been removed from the fair office and were missing. The board met in-camera on March 10 and agreed that all attempts to provide the requested information had been made and the review had been completed. Those who requested the documents, insisting that it was their right under both the bylaws of the association and the Societies Act to view the documents, put forward a motion that bank statements and cancelled cheques be obtained from the Osoyoos Credit Union and made available to them. The motion was passed but the group continued to complain that their request had not been fulfilled. At the May meeting association president Randy Moat told the membership that the Societies Act does not require cancelled cheques to be made available to members. “When we follow the letter of the law the members of the society are not entitled to the information that is requested,” he said at the time. That has been disputed by those requesting access to the books – but the disagreement has not been settled yet. Early in the year the board had established a committee to look into specific concerns of those asking for access relating to expenditures for two maintenance projects carried out in 2011 – siding on the pavilion and an upgrade to the dais. At the May 2012 meeting George Hayes and Gail Matheson gave a report on behalf of this committee to the association membership. That presentation did not satisfy a majority of those present however and,

after some three hours of argument, Rock Creek resident Greg MacDonald offered to head a committee of three past directors and a hired accountant to look at the cancelled cheques and bank statements and prepare a report. Hayes and Matheson presented their information in more detail again the following Saturday. Their position was that all grant moneys have been accounted for and that invoices backed up bank records. However there was concern by some who attended that Saturday about an invoice from Randy Moat’s numbered company billing for the labour component of the siding and dais projects, which did not have supporting documentation such as timesheets. Complicating things is the fact there was no firm agreement on what exactly MacDonald’s committee was supposed to do. Although consensus agreement was given to form the commission at a membership meeting, the membership was told that only the board could establish it. The board did this on June 1st. However the wording of what was agreed to at the May meeting and the motion the board passed differed. As well there were no terms of reference or mandate published. Lincoln Blaine and Judy Harpur joined MacDonald on what became known as the MacDonald Commission. They hired retried CGA Rick Jones to review the documentation and write a report. Jones’ report included recommendations – something the board insists was not part of the MacDonald Commission mandate. Jones recommended that the president and treasurer be asked to step down because of the appearance of conflict of interest and failure to safeguard the records. Jones’ report, dated July 14, was delivered to the Board that same month and made public in an August meeting when MacDonald read both the Jones report as well as making other comments. This created another opportunity for argument – exactly what part of the August public report was the MacDonald Commission report and what part were

MacDonald’s thoughts alone. One week later at the regular August monthly meeting a motion was passed to refer the MacDonald Commission report to the Oct. 17 fair meeting so that everyone could focus on the fair in September. During the week preceding the Oct. 17 meeting association members who are seeking access to the books sponsored a public meeting to air their side of the issue. So when more than 75 people came to the pavilion on October 17th the battle lines had been drawn and no one appeared ready to back down. Very early in the year, when perceptions of conflict of interest were aired, the board created a financial planning committee, chaired by director Merv Geen, to find “how best to provide openness, clarity and control of financial matters for the members”. Geen reported to the October meeting that their report is now complete and has been forwarded to the board and membership email list. “These are recommendations that have not been accepted by the board or the members and it sort of depends on what the bylaws say, because the bylaws obvi-

ously take precedence over anything that’s in this,” Geen told the meeting. He asked for feedback on the report. Illana Fraser then gave a report of the bylaw review committee, which she chairs. This group was tasked with revision to the bylaws. The current registered bylaws were filed in 1993. Fraser apologized for not having a draft of the new bylaws for the meeting but that Osoyoos resident Bud Alcorn who had been brought in to chair the previous weeks meeting had offered to help by sending a set of draft bylaws for her committee to review. This news raised a concern by Vlodko Barchuk that, “We seem to have given this person expertise status and given the groundwork on which our bylaws should be structured or considered and I am just concerned that our community has spent a lot of years in putting this organization together we hand that over so quickly and easily. I know that we are going to consider his recommendations but it’s only his recommendations. What about our own committee that has been working on this since 1994? Where is their work?”

Break bad habits of firewood usage

JOHN VERE Co-ordinator

RDKB Woodstove Exchange Program Submitted

Well there you all are again, out there on a wet fall day gathering firewood. I hate to keep bugging you, but I doubt if it’s going to be dry enough to burn properly this

winter. If you try a moisture meter in that wood it will probably go right off the scale. Firewood with a moisture content of more than 18 per cent is only going to cause you grief. Have you ever thought about getting your supply in the spring?

If you really love the tradition of gathering in the fall, at least save it for next years supply. The recommended system is to stack the wood in the open for a season and then put it in the wood shed in late summer. This way it has air dried to 10 per

Omnibus bills – art of stealing power

Alex Atamanenko, MP (B.C. Southern Interior) is slamming the Conservative government’s second mammoth Omnibus Budget Bill this year which amends over 40 separate Acts, guts a series of commissions that protect the public interest and concentrates even more power in Ministers’ hands. The B.C. MP denounced the government’s measures to gut the Navigable Waters Protection Act and further erode the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. “The Conservative Cabinet is grabbing power to rule on environmental assessments and pipelines even as the Environment Minister is firing the scientists who provide expert and indepen-

dent advice,” noted Atamanenko. “What we are witnessing is a disturbing trend to eliminate our ability to democratically govern and protect the environment and ensure sustainable development for future generations,” According to Atamanenko the Budget bill, entitled the Jobs and Growth Act, is entirely devoid of any significant measures to create jobs and stimulate growth in the long term for Canadians. “Nowhere in the bill is a Canada-wide strategy to create good paying jobs even as 1.4 million Canadians remain unemployed,” said Atamanenko. “Tax credits to small business are short term and very small in size. Support

to business research and development has been cut.” Atamanenko was also highly critical of the drastic changes to Employment Insurance and the Labour Code in government budget bills noting that the government has not even bothered to hear from the businesses or workers that pay into it. “I am also very concerned about the government’s cuts to Old Age Security and future Health Care transfers,” added Atamanenko. “The Conservatives made a clear promise in the last election that they wouldn’t do so. “ He says he is vehemently opposed to omnibus bills as they force parliamentarians to vote on a

sweeping and diverse package of measures while denying them sufficient opportunity to provide full and proper scrutiny as they were elected to do. “This is the basic principle of parliamentary democracy and the Conservative’s are steadily stealing it from Canadians,” he said. “I know New Democrats will put up a hell of a fight to ensure this bill doesn’t pass quietly into law.”

Rock Creek fair meeting

Continued from page 4

Finally at 30 minutes into the meeting the agenda came to the MacDonald Commission report. After determining that Greg Macdonald was not present at the meeting Moat attempted to proceed to the next item on the agenda. Rachael Lautard however insisted that it be discussed. “If Greg doesn’t happen to be here tonight for whatever reason we still have Lincoln and Judy and we would still like to discuss the report, even if Greg is not here.” Following a motion from the floor the Jones report was read. Association member Falko Tilgner then rose to put forward a motion, “… that president Randy Moat and treasurer Colleen Moat be dismissed immediately by a majority vote in a secret ballot of the eligible voting membership of the association present at this meeting.” After being seconded, discussion was opened on the motion with Moat insisting that all questions would have to be directed to Blaine and Harpur as they, not the board, were on the MacDonald Commission. Before the discussion started however Moat asked association secretary Sue Hayes to read from the bylaws: “A member of the executive may be expelled by a unanimous vote of a quorum of the remaining members.” Over the next two hours nothing was resolved. Voices were raised, fingers were pointed, the gavel was often used to maintain order, some were threatened with removal and some left without invitation. They argued about what documents Jones had been given and who was responsible for providing him those documents. They argued about the mandate of the MacDonald Commission. They argued about whether the board had followed the bylaws and about actions taken or not taken by the board on the MacDonald report.

They argued about the responsibility of past president Art Harfman because the pavilion siding and dais work were done during his tenure. They argued over the process for filing a change of bylaws. They argued about the duties of association employees and who should open mail. Finally the meeting was told by Moat that the motion was out of order because according to the bylaws only directors are allowed to remove another board member. Moat asked Tilgner if he would be willing to amend his motion to fit the bylaws but Tilgner refused. One of the final speakers on the issue was Rock Creek resident and lifetime member of the association Bill Harpur. “I have sat on this fair board for 60-some years and I just have never seen such a disaster as we’ve got here tonight,” said Harpur. “I would suggest that we let the annual meeting decide who they want on the board and forget about everything else here tonight and get on with the rest of the meeting.” “But I would like to say that we as a group have never run into what’s happened here tonight. We’ve always had a few problems but we solved them over the table and that’s the way it was. We didn’t get our way often but we still went on working for the fair. “I just can’t understand the public going the way you are. This fair is a community fair but you have split. It has split in half and it’s never going to regain again.” A motion was passed to hold the AGM on January 16, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. In other business it was announced that Mary Smith had been presented with her lifetime membership pin. “She made the request that Randy present her pin,” said Secretary Sue Hayes. “So Randy, Colleen, the twins and I went over a couple of weeks ago and presented Mary her pin.” The next regular meeting is schedule for 7 p.m. on Nov. 21, 2012.

seems silly to me to invest all that energy or money in firewood and then abuse it by storing it where it will become wet again. For a small investment you can build a proper wood shed. If wood heat is your main source of heat this investment will pay for itself ten fold over time. It’s a mystery to me why some people figure a wood heat system should be cheap, abused, and operated improperly. You would not dream of doing this with your gas or oil furnace. As energy prices rise and we turn to sources like wood, we will need to take it more seriously and change our bad habits. It’s simple, a new appliance using nice dry wood equals, cheap, safe heat and way less pollution. John Vere woodstove@telus.net

Democracy as Harper sees it The federal Conservatives have introduced another omnibus budget bill – their second this year. Last June it was Bill C-38, with its cuts to research on air pollution, water quality, industrial waste and emergency disaster response. Government officials and its critics at the time were criticizing the massive bill, saying that there would be dramatic changes in the role played by Environment Canada. Science would only be allowed to see the light of day if it was science that the Prime Minister’s Office agreed with. This week they have introduced Bill C-45 – a 457page budget omnibus bill that will gut the Navigable Waters Protection Act and further erode the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. Bill C-45 amends over 40 separate Acts, guts a series of commissions that protect the public interest, concentrates even more power in Ministers’ hands, makes drastic changes to Employment Insurance and the Labour Code, and cuts Old Age Security and future Health Care transfers. “The Conservative Cabinet is grabbing power to rule on environmental assessments and pipelines even as the Environment Minister is firing the scientists who provide expert and independent advice,” MP Alex Atamanenko says. Our federal government is trampling democracy. Last spring MP’s wasted hours voting on over 800 amendments to Bill C-38. The process was fruitless – the outcome was predetermined, with every amendment doomed to failure before it hit the order paper. It was a symbolic procedural protest. But done for a good reason. The opposition parties put forward those amendments because omnibus bills do not allow proper consideration of the details. So here we go again – democracy as Stephen Harper sees it should go.

Remove Moats from fair board Editor, The Times:

In May 2012 the board and membership of the Rock Creek Fall Fair agreed to have a committee, including an independent accountant, investigate transactions involving payments made to Randy Moat. The resulting report presented by this committee recommended that both Randy and Coleen Moat be asked to resign from their positions on the board. Despite this recommendation, the controversy has been allowed to continue without resolution. In May, prior to this recommendation, the board allowed members to view a summary of expenses that were included in the pavilion and dais upgrade. As a chartered accountant with experience in both non-profit associa-

tions, and as a past treasurer for a nonprofit society, I analyzed this summary as if I had been given the spreadsheet as part of an audit. Normally, an expense noted in the general ledger would match with the approvedi, and in turn with the payment made to the vendor. It is also necessary that the auditor ensures that the expense in question was allowed under the grant funding agreement. The original funding agreement for the project was not made available, nor were a number of invoices for the expenses. I asked to see the related cheque copies, but was told that some of the cheques were for amounts in excess of the expense listed, and therefore unavailable. Of the cheques I did see, there were payments made to Randy Moat and his own personal companies, signed by the treasurer – his wife, Coleen Moat. This is a severe conflict of

interest and in an audit, if, upon further investigation, no appropriate explanation could be given, the individuals in question would be dismissed. Randy and Coleen Moat have had many months and opportunities to provide explanations or supporting documents to explain these transactions; however, none have been forthcoming. The removal of both Randy and Coleen Moat from their respective positions on the board should be the obligation of the fair board and membership. It is my hope that the community will continue to attend the fair meetings, in particular the annual general meeting (Jan. 16, 2013), so that this situation can be resolved, beginning with a commitment to transparency.

Add years to life, life to years Part 1

Statistics tell us that people live longer now than decades ago but numbers do not always tell the full story. Average life spans have increased but a good part of that is from decreases in newborn and infant mortality rates. There have also been some increases in longevity due to medical advances at the other end but for those elderly people is more necessarily better? Imagine two scenarios: 1.) You live a good healthy life till age 90, become unwell and die, basically of old-age, 3 months later, or 2.) You live until age 85 at which point dementia robs you of yourself, you live waited on hand and foot, can’t even recognize your own family and gradually deteriorate being physically kept alive by all kinds of drugs and interventions until you finally die at age 95. Which scenario really presents a longer life? Is option 2 really living longer or is it dying longer? Can you see that longevity must be thought of in terms of quality of life and not just quantity of life or age at death? The bad news about aging is that there is no magic potion from some fountain of youth that will make us ageless. The good news is that there are things that can slow the aging process and those are, for the most part, within your control. And they are not expensive; mostly they involve simple lifestyle choices that you can make. Happily, a healthier lifestyle followed throughout life generally also leads to a longer life. Let’s explore aging and look at some of the things you can do to slow it down. Aging is basically an accumulation, over a period of years, of little changes for the worse that add up to degrade your bodily functions, sap you of your vitality and finally end your life. But you can, to a considerable degree, reverse this process. Start making little changes for the better that will add up and improve your health, renew your vitality and add years – good years – to your life. Woody Allen joked: “You can live to be a hundred only if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be

a hundred.” Fortunately, this has been proven wrong. People are afraid of having to change their lifestyle but when a lifestyle change is made that brings a positive benefit most people are quite happy with having made the change. Just be willing to learn and try some changes. So what are the little changes you can make to help you live better and longer? We’ll look now at a number of them. Don’t feel overwhelmed or think that you need to do them all. Having a long list just gives you more choices to find a few factors that you can start with and then add more as you master the first ones and incorporate them into you lifestyle. First, consider that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) lists prevention methods for the major causes of death and, in almost every case, they include a healthy lifestyle. It does make a difference. Following are some of those simple life-style factors that can make a difference. Nuts and Seeds. Included in the diet can add several years to the lifespan probably due to their high content of essential fatty acids. Healthy fats are so important; in fact some are referred to as “essential.” There is a reason for that. Do you even know if you are getting enough? Flossing Your Teeth. One source of infection, while it may seem minor, is there all the time – bacteria and toxins from food material caught between your teeth. Just flossing can make a difference. Once you get in the habit, it is not hard to do and it can improve your breath too. Tongue scraper. If you have ever fasted for a day, you likely noticed a white coating on the surface of your tongue. This is bacteria and toxins that your body has pushed out during the fast. You can get commercial tongue scrapers or just use the edge of a spoon or give your tongue a good brushing. Lung Capacity. “Findings resulting from a 5,200 clinical study group ob-

served over a 30 year span showed that pulmonary function measurement is an indicator of general health and vigor and literally the primary measure of potential life span.” (Science News, vol.120, p.74). That makes lung capacity sound pretty important in relation to longevity. Perhaps you want to take up some aerobic exercise or just do deep-breathing exercises to increase your lung capacity. Singing is an interesting factor shown by research at Harvard and Yale Universities to increase longevity. It increases anti-aging hormones and combats Alzheimer’s – and probably helps lung capacity too. Develop Your Nerve Force. Russian research shows that cold water treatments strengthen and maintain nerves. This can be the cold-water plunge that is more popular in Europe. Contrast showers have a similar effect. A contrast shower means when you finish your shower you turn the water to cold for a while then back to hot. Go back and forth a few times always ending with cold. Dry skin brushing also helps with this. So there are some little things you can do to improve your health and lengthen your lifespan. In part 2, we will look at some more in-depth factors.
