Icy dip for rescue personnel Clearing skies just in time for Saturday’s ice water session
By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview. com Several members from area search and rescue teams, along with two local fire departments took part in ice rescue exercises at Yellow Lake this weekend. T h e w e e ke n d course followed a similar session that took place two weeks ago at the popular ice fishing lake. The classes were taught by instructors from Rescue Canada, a private company out of Chilliwack that specializes in water rescue techniques. Four instructors from the company trained 19 students o n t h e w e e ke n d during an exercise that involved three hours of classroom instruction followed by a couple of hours on the ice at Yellow
Lake on Saturday, January 19. The students returned for more practical instruction on the lake on Sunday. Master Rescue Instructor Michael Stegemann said that the lake had excellent ice conditions on the weekend, compared to the class two weeks ago, when the lake had just begun to freeze. On Saturday, the ice was eight inches thick, with a well consolidated slush layer underneath. The group c h a i n s aw e d t w o roughly 10 by 10 foot Photo by Steve Arstad holes in the ice, and the class took turns practicing self and Keremeos Volunteer Firefighter Evin Hartfield gives “thumbs up” after climbing out of Yellow Lake on Saturday.

Community spirit is evidenced by generous contributions by Lower Similkameen residents to program By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com

Keremeos Valley First Manager Joan Bauman (left) presents cheque to Cawston Food Bank Manager Ingrid Percival.
“To those of you who ask, ‘Where’s our community spirit?’ well, we have it in spades,” Keremeos Valley First branch manager Joan Bauman told a gathering at the credit union on January 17 as she presented a cheque for $6,500 to Cawston Food Bank Manager Ingrid Percival. Valley First Credit Union celebrated its 65th anniversary last year. In recognition of the occasion, the credit union challenged its employees to collect 6,500 pounds of food for local food banks. By the end of the year, the Keremeos branch had raised
a whopping 12,000 pounds of food, and in doing so won a $6,500 donation to the Cawston Food Bank. “I can’t thank area residents and Valley First enough for their contributions,” said Percival after receiving the cheque. “If it weren’t for all of you the food bank would have closed last year.” Percival noted that she would be opening the food bank later in the day to approximately 80 people in need. “Thanks go to Valley First for a wonderful campaign,” added Mayor
Manfred Bauer, who also attended the celebration. “Everyone has responded well to this challenge, but especially here in the Similkameen. Our residents deserve all the credit. Thanks also to Ingrid Percival for providing such a necessary service.” Valley First branch Manager Joan Bauman said that even though the campaign is over, the credit union continues to accept food and cash donations on behalf of the food bank. “The campaign is over,” she concluded, “let’s keep it going.”
RDOS board supports healthy communities initiative By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The regional district board of directors agreed to a request put forward in December to participate in a partnership with the Interior Health Authority at the January 10 regional district board meeting. Betty Brown, Community Health Facilitator with Interior Health, presented the Program for Healthy Communities at the December 20, 2012 meeting of the board. She asked them to adopt a resolution stating their interest in partnering with IHA to promote healthy living throughout the region. The board approved a recommen-
dation put forward to partner with the Okanagan Similkameen Healthy Living Society (OSHLS) to increase actions that will improve the health of citizens in the regional district by reducing chronic disease and obesity. The board also resolved to encourage each of their member municipalities to indicate their support of this intiative by resolving to enter into the Letter of Understanding with the OSHLS. The Healthy Communities initiative works with local governments to plan and implement actions to reduce chronic disease by assisting local governments with the provision of data, presentations, workshops, best practice tools and resources, plan-
ning and facilitation, support to develop community health profiles, gap analysis, measuring and monitoring and joint development of a Healthy Living Strategic Plan. The Healthy Living Coalition currently has representatives from the Interior Health Authority, the RDOS, the City of Penticton, the Penticton Indian Band, School District #67, and the Okanagan Healthy Living Society. This organizing group will is expected to develop guiding principles, followed by a workshop in the spring that will hopefully draw wider participation for other local governments, First Nations, school districts, and other stakeholders.

Publisher: Mark Walker 605 7th Ave, Keremeos Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0
Editorial Bureaucracy grows with management transfer Keremeos Village Council spent some time debating the planned management transfer of the Infocentre readerboard operation during the January 7 regular meeting of council. The village’s reasons for taking over management of the sign seems to be based, in large part, due to the fact that the sign was funded through a “Towns for Tomorrow” grant. The village has also reasoned that they have more staff available to operate the sign on a regular basis. They add that they are not unhappy with the present operation of the sign. We wonder, then, why transfer management at all? The village admits there will be an expense involved, and along with the transfer of management comes a new policy with a set of nine guidelines governing its use. The policy, covering two pages and invoking an application process which user groups will have to follow, will likely do little to improve the sign’s messaging capability. Let’s face it - the readerboard’s present usefulness, based on its present location, is to inform the travelling public about regional events. If its use is to be an information board used to inform village residents of municipal messages, it will likely provide little useful function because of its location in the community, since the majority of village residents live east of the sign, and tend to drive east when they leave the village. We feel the reader board’s original purpose was to enhance tourism and communicate regional special events. In that function, its placement in front of the Infocentre made good sense. So did its operation by Similkameen Country personnel. Adding a two page list of rules and procedures to the village’s bureaucracy, along with a management swap that will unnecesarily add to staff workloads without providing any noticeable return to residents of the village or the Lower Similkameen- are things that don’t make any sense at all.

What to make of Idle No More By Bob Simpson Ind. MLA, Cariboo-Chilcotin
I have mixed feelings about the Idle No More protests. There are growing divisions within the First Nations leadership, and there has always been a lack of clarity about how best to address First Nations’ poverty and unresolved rights and title claims. However, we must be very careful not t o j u d g e t h e s e p ro tests too quickly or too harshly. The freedom to protest is a key tenet of a healthy democracy. While we might be inconvenienced by protests or even disagree with the reasons behind them, it’s important to remember that the freedom to protest is a fundamental democratic right we need to protect.
We must take care t h at o u r i m p at i e n c e with the personal inc o nv e n i e n c e p u b l i c p ro t e s t s m ay c re at e does not enable our government to exercise authoritarian control over our freedom to express ourselves. The Idle No More p r o t e s t s h av e b e e n a long time coming. They are the result of increasing frustration with treaty processes that are set up to fail, an Indian Act that maintains a paternalistic relationship w i t h F i r s t N at i o n s, and the development of natural resources that continue to have unresolved ownership claims. Our federal and provincial governments pay lip service to resolving these longs t a n d i n g i s s u e s, bu t their focus on accelerating the development of Canada’s and B.C.’s natural resourc-
es has brought the issue of resource title and benefit sharing to a head. In the absence of consultation processes that work, clarity of ownership over these resources, and equitable sharing of the benefits of resource development, First Nations’ frustrations have grown to the point that they feel compelled to take to the streets. When the treaty table doesn’t work, when the government won’t resolve long-standing legal rights issues, and when companies and the government make money from natural resources to which they don’t have clear title, what is left for F i r s t N at i o n s t o d o but disrupt the status quo to force action on these issues? The courts have said these issues must be resolved. The investment community has said
these issues must be resolved. But federal and provincial political leaders continue to address First Nations issues with little more than empty talk. Instead of grumbling about the inconv e n i e n c e t h e s e p ro tests create, if we take t h e t i m e t o e d u c at e ourselves about these issues and join the call for reform, then maybe this time our political leaders will finally start doing the hard work of resolving these complex issues once and for all.

Cawston Cold Storage benefits from $106,000 grant from agriculture ministry Funding will assist with new cold storage technology By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Projects introducing new technology to the province’s tree fruit industry are receiving support from the governments of Canada and British Columbia, Member of Parliament for Kelowna-Lake Country, the Honourable Ron Cannan, on behalf of federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, and B.C. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick announced last week. “B.C. has a strong reputation around the world for producing top- quality tree fruits, such as apples and cherries,” said Cannan. “These projects and leading-edge technologies will increase profitability and ensure that the region’s producers remain industry leaders on the domestic and international stage.” “The B.C. government has been working with industry to focus on innovation and
technology as we look at ways to expand their product line and markets,” said Letnick. “The investment of more than $200,000 for these six projects will enhance both our province’s tree fruit operations and ensure the agrifoods industry continues to be an integral part of British Columbia’s economy.” Cawston Cold Storage is receiving the lion’s share of grant funding, receiving more than $106,000 to assist with new storage technology. The investment will enable greater efficiencies in the movement of product in and out of cold storage. The goal of the facility is to extend the B.C. organic apple marketing season by maximizing the post-harvest product storage quality. “With this funding we are able to secure much needed long-term storage for our products, and this innovative facility will help the B.C. organic agriculture industry remain strong for future generations,” said Dan Taylor, operations manager, Cawston Cold Storage. Cawston Cold Storage is introducing refrigeration
technology that is new to B.C., utilzing a system that does not use ammonia for heat exchange, but at the same time using geothermal sources to provide part of the energy needed for heat exchange. CCS’ controlled atmosphere rooms have such highly efficient insulation that there is no need to add nitrogen once the apples are “asleep”. “There is nothing else like it in Canada,” said Taylor, “the system allows us a lot of flexibility when we pack the fruit.” Cawston Cold Storage serves 36 growers who farm 700 acres of organic tree fruits each year. The remainder of the $ 20 0 ,0 0 0 fu nd i ng wen t to the following projects: - Coral Beach Farms in Lake Country received $35,000 - The Jind Fruit Company received $26,000 - The Okanagan - Kootenay Cherry Growers Association received $21,000 - BC Fruit Growers Association Research and Development test orchard received $19,200.

Kick the Indians
To the Editor; With the recent movement “Idle No More”, the court ruling that has identified descendants of native families (Metis) as having equal rights as Indians, plus all the other rulings surrounding Indian people, we now have another movement from the non-native community to discredit First Nations people based on what they have heard. These come in the form of e-mails, posts on Facebook, etc. Well, I admit we haven’t done a very good job of informing the general public on the whys and why-nots that make up the reasons for our unrest and mistrust. Our concerns here locally are now focused on land use and environmental issues ranging from water to wildlife, plus many things in between. On the national level there is this hunger strike in Ottawa, “Idle no More” across the country, and many other issues that the media has finally picked up on. Like every other disagreement, we natives here have been trying to improve our situation by voicing our concerns and supporting other First Nation movements that do now or may in the future affect us directly. While all this is going on, our non-native neighbors, some family members, and others within the community are listening and being totally confused because they either know nothing personally, or had not been informed that there is a problem, and react to the rumors that keep popping up. Most have no idea of what the difference between reserve land and public land is except that the native land has no taxes attached, the Indians get free housing, these Indians are lazy and don’t work, and the non-native tax dollar is what is supporting all of it. An easy solution would be to cut the Indians off, tell them to go out and earn the required money each needs to live, and to stop being a burden on those who do pay the taxes. Problem is, what the Indians receive and can do with their lands and recourses is controlled by the Federal Government who are trying to abandon their committments and dodge the bullet by down loading it all to each province, then abstaining from any debate surrounding the issues. Let’s look at how we got to total disagreement in the first place before we weigh in our personal opinions to either support or oppose what is being said and actually happening. Rolling the clock back a couple hundred years or so, the Indians were the only occupants of this area, fishing, hunting, trapping. Food sources, timber, minerals, and everything else belonged to our people. Now enters the European forces who believe they have found a “new world,” and by doing so gives them some right to occupy, rule, and control all others who do or wish to live here. Not detailing any part of this the short version, most western native nations welcomed these new people and saw no real problem living, sharing, and trading with them. The self appointed government (federal)
who now claimed the land decided that the only way they could carry out their mandates and start building communities across this new land was to was to get the Indian people out of the way. This government convinced the natives that if they were to move onto reserve land that had been identified and located, then the federal government would support and take care of them. All natives would be exempt taxes and other such levies, in short become the native providers. (sounds like a good deal). Fast forward to today and we have a federal government who has passed laws affecting us that we were never consulted about, openly reneged on promises that got us onto reserves in the first place, and have never purchased or paid rent on all of the land base and resources they are collecting taxes from, including water, timber and minerals. If you think seriously about this, you will have to agree that if we never sold it, never rented it, and never gave up control, then it must still belong to us and any revenue being collected from it should be ours plus the back payments over the past couple hundred years. Looking at things using this logic you can see just why we, the First Nations people are a little bit ticked off and objecting to further such abuse and stalling by government to dealing with all of the issues. Like many others have said, I too believe it is time to stop complaining and start acting in a responsible and professional manner by educating ourselves then using the tools available to fight back. The Law Courts, the legal system, and the laws that govern what it and is not fair must now be our path to resolution and the bickering has to stop. We are all aware that our native people are not about to give up the present way of life and move back into teepees, make our own clothing, avoid grocery stores, abstain from driving automobiles and go back to moccasin and horse power, live without electricity and inside plumbing. Could you see our youth without computers, cell phones, Ipods, radio, stereo, or any of the modern tools and gadgets that support our communication system. “It’s time for us all to get real.” Change must be made on reserves that prevent our youth from graduating school only to go on S/A (welfare), being responsible and going to work on a daily basis has and will never harm anyone and healthy people who don’t put in should not expect the system to keep them going because they choose not to work. I do not offer a quick solution to the problems because there are many things not mentioned that would factor in, what I am saying is it is important that the non-native community (our neighbors) who purchased land in this area and do pay taxes should be properly informed so they to can have an opinion based on reality and truths. I am a full member of the Lower Similkameen Indian Band and do not live on reserve by choice. I do pay taxes and live on property that has been in my family for more than one hundred (100) years. Regards, Darryl R. Brewer, Hedley

RDOS board continues with budget deliberations By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The Regional District Board of Directors took another look at the budget for 2013 on January 10. The board agreed to set aside $10,000 for sign bylaw enforcement after board discussions surrounding the proliferation of signage in the regional district at a board meeting last fall. A request for funding of Community Futures “Economic Gardening” initiative at $50,000 was turned down, while the board approved the expenditure of $30,000 for a seasonal trail crew and truck for work on the region’s recreational trails. Upgrades to the region’s 911 emergency communications network at a projected cost of 1.648 million dollars will be financed at $136,000 per year over a 20 year period. A total of $182,740 has been budgeted so far for grant in aid projects, including the following: Okanagan College - $100,000 (final contribution of $300,000 grant spread over three years to the Centre of Excellence) SPCA - $9,000 O k a n ag a n - S i milkameen Healthy Living Fair - $5,000 Critteraid - $1,300 Agur Lake Camp - $35,440 Okanagan Film Commission $30,000 Directors discussed the validity of funding for the
Agur Lake Camp, Critteraid and Community Futures Economic Gardening. Directors favouring the Community Futures application were informed that the funding request could be reconsidered, perhaps for a lesser amount. RDOS Finance Manager Warren Everton told the board that the tax requisition for 2013 was up while overall assessments were down. He noted that assessments were “somewhat variable.” A question from one of the directors about whether or not a decline in assessed value meant that taxes would be increasing had Everton respond that tax increases tended to be “specific to a service,” part of a service that provides a direct benefit to the property owner (such as the purchase of park property by Okanagan Falls ratepayers ). “So it would be difficult to predict individually who will be hit (with an increase) and who won’t? clarifed Area “D” Director Tom Siddon, to which Everton responded that there was no simple answer - no “one size fits all” statement that could be made that would predict every resident’s tax hike.

Candidates getting scarce in Boundary Similkameen NDP candidate Marj Basso calls it quits days after former Liberal candidate resigns Black Press news@keremeosreview.com It’s been a strange couple of weeks for politicians in the BoundarySimilkameen riding. On Monday, January 21, NDP candidate, Marji Basso resigned her candidacy. Basso resigned within days of Liberal candidate John Slater’s resignation from the Liberal caucus. It also comes after a mysterious blog post by political commentator Alex Tsakumis, who, last Thursday, published a column directed at both Slater and Basso, entitled “Please call me ASAP … I won’t wait past today.” Tsakumis claimed to have “exceedingly disturbing information” about Slater and Basso that would hand the riding to Linda Larson, the new Liberal candidate, if released. “The details of what I have are demonstrable proof that neither Basso nor Slater have the principled judgment to be in public life,” reads Tsakumis’ column, which requested both candidates call him before he decided to publish his information. In response to an email questioning her on the subject of the Tsakumis column, Basso simply replied: “Trying to straighten it out now, thanks.” BC NDP Provincial secretary Jan
O’Brien said she received a letter from Basso Sunday, stating she was stepping down for personal reasons. Tsakumis lists among his credits that he is a former provincial aide and a political advisor to former premier Bill VanderZalm during his time in office. Basso, who was selected as candidate just last year, has not made any public comments about her reasons for stepping away from the NDP candidacy. “We accept Ms. Basso’s resignation,” said O’Brien. “We will be working with the local NDP constituency association to begin the candidate nomination process as quickly as possible.” Tsakumis wouldn’t go on the record with what his information was, though he does say he has verified it and its release would have been damaging both personally and politically to the two candidates. He is, however, satisfied with the outcome, now that both Basso and Slater have resigned and he has no plans to release the information or continue with the story. Slater recently reconsidered a decision he made last week to run independently in the spring election. His office has since confirmed that he will not run independently following this term. Last week, the B.C. Liberal party would only say that they felt he has “personal issues” that would negatively affect his ability to represent the party, rumours came to light that Slater had issues with alcohol, something that both he and his rid-
ing president, Zach Poturica, denied. ARE YOU PART OF THE COMMUNITY? Slater endured what he called “a GREAT BLOG POSTS LIKE THESE WEEKLY brutal week” of questions about why the party had chosen not to support him. “The past couple of weeks have been an extremely emotional roller coaster ride for me. This brutal experience has shown me how tough smear- and fear-based politics can be on people and their families. It is too high a price to pay, at least for me,” said Slater, in his release. “I cannot ALSO FEATURED: put my family or myself through the FRUGAL FRIDAYS,RETAIL THERAPY, continual barrage of innuendos and AND TECH TUESDAYS. smear which have been launched against me, and which will continue STAY CONNECTED: until I withdraw as a candidate in the @flyerland facebook.com/flyerland.ca upcoming provincial election. So I say, “Enough.” Slater said he was grateful for both SAVE TIME. SAVE MONEY. the trust the people of the riding placed in him when he was elected as MLA, as well as to those who supported him over the past couple of weeks. “Finally, I apologize to those I am letting down by dropping out of the race. I hope you can understand why I cannot continue with my campaign. It is just too much,” said Slater. Neither Basso nor Slater is presently available for comments regarding their decion Pink Shirt Day sions. your source for FREE coupons

Changes to recycling program discussed New stewardship program comes into being in May of 2014 By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Regional district staff briefed directors about changes coming to collection of printed paper and packaging in the regional district curbside pickup programs at the board meeting on January 10. Producers and manufacturers of printed paper and packaging have set up a stewarship group called Multi Materials British Columbia (MMBC).This organization will be responsible for the organization, funding and regulation of most paper and packaging residential recycling programs in B.C. The not for profit agency has expectations of recovering up to 75 per cent of all recyclable paper products, up from the current recovery rated of 50 to 57 per cent. The province has required producers to start paying for and managing collection of materials by May 19, 2014, which sets the stage for some very aggressive timelinesfor MMBC to set up processing W ATM NO LE!

and collection standards, in addition to assessing and offering a lump sum to each participating local B. C. government that currently operates a recycling system. Governments will have the choice of receiving the cash and continuing to operate the system, or hand over the service to MMBC by May, 2014. Solid Waste Coordinator Cameron Baughen informed the board that the new service would not be offered to commercial collection, or Princeton rural (Area “H”). “The cost - the price the regional district will be paid for collection is still unknown,” Baughen informed the board, “there should be no decrease in the level of service offered, and the program fits in with what the RDOS is doing now.” Baughen said they would “have to see” about pricing. When the program begins in 2014, it will include an expanded list of materials collected, including single use cups, waxed paper milk cartons, soup tetra paks and styrofoam. It is anticipated that lower costs will be incurred by local governments as a result of the change.

Unrideable bicycles products of a fertile mind
I
n one of my filing cabinets I have a certificate stating that I have successfully ridden John Galt’s collection of unrideable bicycles. I got it at a conference held here at DRAO years ago. One of the conference events was a barbecue, tour of the observatory, and the challenge of taking on this very strange collection of bikes. One of them had to be pedalled backwards. On another each pedal was attached to a gear of different diameter, so your feet ended up going round at differ-
ent rates. Another had a castor instead of a front wheel, so the handlebars actually did nothing other than provide somewhere to put your hands. The last had its steering reversed. That one was a horror. John Galt was an amazing scientist, engineer, inventor and practical joker. He was also one of Canada’s foremost radio astronomers and one of DRAO’s unique personalities. Sadly he died on Boxing Day. In 1967 a group of Canadian scientists, one of whom was John Galt, made Canada the first country to successfully demonstrate the radio astronomical technique of Very Long Baseline Interferometry. Two radio telescopes, one in Algonquin Park, Ontario, and the other here at DRAO were used to independent-
ly collect data which could be combined later to emulate an antenna with a diameter equal to the distance between the antennas. This required extremely accurate clocks, a special data recording system and an equally special data processing facility to extract the data. The main objective was to develop an instrument capable of imaging quasars, objects that are small, very far away, and incredibly powerful sources of radio emissions. A couple of years after, an experiment was designed to use this technique to dig for even finer detail, which needed the antennas to be even further apart. In this case, on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. The Algonquin Radio O b s e r vat o r y wa s used in combination with the radio
telescope operated by the UK Science Research Council at Chilbolton, in Southwest England. I was a very junior member of the UK team and got to first meet John when he was a member of the Canadian team that came to Chilbolton, bringing all the exotic equipment needed to do the project, and the expertise to operate it. This Canadian success earned John Galt and his colleagues the Rumford Medal. That joint project also established the connections that ultimately pulled me across the Atlantic, and eventually here to DRAO. All the fun seemed to be on this side of the pond. John was one of a generation of astronomers now disappearing. He was a combination of scientist, engineer, technologist, programmer and what-
ever else was needed to get his projects done. When an oil s e a l o n D R AO ’s 26m telescope needed attention, he was 25m above the concrete apron, fixing it. John and I carpooled for a while, and the conversations en route were fascinating. One day he turned up with one leg in a cast. He had been a victim of one of his unrideable bicycles. Venus is very low in the eastern sky b e fo re d aw n a n d Mars equally low in the Southwest, in sunset twilight. Jupiter dominates the southern sky during the night. Saturn rises about 2 a.m. The Moon will be full on the 26th. Ken Tapping is an astronomer with the National Research Council’s Dominion Radio Astro-physical Observatory, Penticton.

MANAGING Your Money
Understand RRSP carry-forward to pay yourself forward When retirement time rolls around, your RRSP eligible investments may be a significant source of your income – and you can make it even more significant by understanding – and taking full advantage of – its carry-forward potential. Available RRSP contribution room may be carried forward to future years if the deduction is not claimed on the current year’s tax return. Add a few simple strategies and you can fill that carry-forward room in ways that will pay off for you now and later: ·Make a contribution now, take part of the deduction now Use a portion your contribution for this tax year to reduce your taxable income to the next marginal tax bracket. ·Make a contribution now, take the deduction later Make your maximum contribution to RRSP eligible investments in the current tax year but save the deduction for a later year when you know you’ll be in a higher tax bracket. ·Take an RRSP loan to fill your carry-forward room This strategy works when the interest rate is low enough and you repay the loan as quickly as possible, preferably in one year or two at the most. You can use your tax refund to repay part of the loan. ·Know your age-related options If you’re turning 71 this year and don’t have a spouse who is younger than 71, this is your last opportunity to make a contribution to your RRSP eligible investments, although any undeducted contributions can be carried-forward until the year of death. If you’re 72, have carry-forward room, and a spouse 71 or younger, you can make a contribution to a spousal RRSP eligible investments with your spouse as the annuitant. ·Shelter the non-eligible portion of a severance/retiring allowance You can do this by using some or all of the allowance to fill RRSP contribution carry-forward room. ·Shelter a commuted pension paid out in cash If you commute your pension and have received an excess – and taxable – amount in cash, you can use your RRSP carry-forward room to shelter at least a
portion of the excess. ·Decrease withholding tax When an employer makes direct contributions to your RRSP eligible investments, the employer need not apply withholding tax if the employee provides evidence that they have sufficient contribution room. The employee’s most recent Notice of Assessment from the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) is considered sufficient evidence of contribution room. Make the most of your RRSP eligible investments and pay yourself forward in the most advantageous ways by talking over your life goals with your professional advisor.
