Series of motor vehicle accidents in the region last week follow previous week’s fires in the Lower Similkameen By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com

Keremeos and District Volunteer Fire Department personnel, Keremeos RCMP and BC Ambulance worked to free a woman trapped in her SUV after it went off Highway 3 and rolled on Tuesday afternoon, February 11.
The accident occurred about a half kilometre east of the Ashnola Road turnoff, shortly before 3 p.m. Road conditions were wet, but not believed to be otherwise hazardous. A Princeton woman was trapped for about 20 minutes while emergency personnel working to free the woman were hampered by the steep embankment and dense thickets the vehicle came to rest on. Located roughly eight metres below the road, the SUV proved difficult to stabilize after ending up on its passenger side. Rescue personnel were only able to access the vehicle through the rear window. A passage through thick brush had to be cut to access
the rear of the vehicle, and the ambulance stationed on the Great Northern Railway right of way in order to load the patient after she was extricated. The woman was transported to the Similkameen Health Centre with what are not believed to be life threatening injuries. Two dogs also in the vehicle were rescued. On Thursday morning, February 13, Keremeos and District Volunteer Firefighters, BC Ambulance and Keremeos RCMP were called once again to the scene of a motor vehicle accident on Highway 3 just continued on page 3

Oldtimers reminisce at Museum social Contributed by Judy Chisholm The room was abuzz with laughter and conversation at the South Similkameen Museum’s afternoon social at the Anglican Church hall. Many pioneers of the South Similkameen valley showed up to share their memories of the old days. This is becoming an annual affair that has proven very popular. The stories of the early days are a great hit with many visitors to the museum and any chance we have of hearing more of these wonderful memories are a bonus for the museum. Through these social afternoons we have gleaned some memorable photos that are scanned and catalogue on the computer. Ten new members joined at the tea and we made $150 towards maintaining irreplaceable artifacts and stories to have them accessible to all visitors. If you would like to be notified directly of upcoming events, including the social afternoons, please send an email from the web site at keremeosmuseum.ca and send an email or leave a message at: 250-4992883.

Editorial Olympics more than medal count As the Sochi Olympics cruise to a finale later this week, we’ve found ourselves subjected to an endless onslaught of analysis and judgement from the media with respect to Canada’s Olympic team. The lofty goals set by the Own the Podium campaign prior to the start of the Sochi games was to “contend for #1 in Olympic medal count and top three in gold medal paralympic count.” After a strong start, the medal count slowed down last week, as a few of Canada’s hopefuls missed the mark. Early in the second week of the games, Canada’s medal ranking sat at 14 six silver, four gold and four bronze, placing us in fifth spot. It appears that Canada may not reach the Own the Podium goal set for these Olympics, which may be a reason for the media hand wringing we are being subjected to. But is it really that important? We have seen steadily improving results in the games over the past 20 years or so, and much of that success has probably come from public funding for our athletes. The program has no doubt helped get the athletes to the point where they can compete effectively for a podium spot, but we think it’s unfair - and unnecessary - to put more pressure on our athletes by putting so much emphasis on a “medal haul.” From what we’ve seen so far, our athletes have competed very effectively. Sport being what it is, there are always going to be upsets, and expectations that exceed or fail to make the grade. It happens to the best of athletes, in every nation, and no amount of spending or training can make up for the unexpected twists of fate or changes of fortune that make such compelling stories at each Olympic games. At the end of the day, we say it isn’t the medal count at all that is most important when it comes to the Olympics - it’s having a game spirit, and if our athletes have shown that, they’ve done all they needed to do.

THE
Who provoked a school strike? By Tom Fletcher Black Press
I made an error in a column two weeks ago about the latest court ruling in favour of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. I referred to an “illegal” strike in 2012, and was quickly reminded that this teacher walkout was sanctioned by the Labour Relations Board. After months of withholding report cards and refusing to meet with administrators, the union went to the LRB to seek permission for a full-scale strike. They got their wish, with authorization under essential services rules for a threeday strike in the first week, and one day a week after that until the end of the school year or a settlement was reached. For the record, the last “illegal” BCTF strike was in 2005, in defiance of a B.C. Supreme Court order that resulted in a $500,000 fine against the union. That was the same year
BCTF lawyers won a split B.C. Court of Appeal ruling allowing teachers to bring political propaganda into classrooms. Two out of three judges decided this was appropriate to preserve their freedom of expression. The authorized three-day strike went ahead in March 2012. Regular readers may recall my reports of students being indoctrinated in classrooms and in some cases sent out as union pickets, and of the strong-arming of unionized government office staff here in Victoria to make them join a rally on the legislature lawn. This was the strike that, according to the current media and political narrative, the provincial cabinet conspired to bring about. This notion is central to the Jan. 27 ruling of Justice Susan Griffin that orders the B.C. government to attempt to reconstruct the world of 2001. Government lawyers filed an application with the B.C. Court of Appeal on Friday to suspend parts of this ruling. Imposing
Griffin’s terms would cause “irreparable harm to the public interest of unprecedented magnitude,” they said in arguments backed up by a series of affidavits from superintendents who have to keep B.C.’s war-weary public schools running. In Surrey, returning to 2002 conditions would add $40 million to the district payroll in year one. That’s one of 60 school districts. The government’s submission includes affidavits from superintendents around the province on its likely impact. Here’s a partial list: Cancellation of specialty programs for vulnerable youth, construction of portables to meet arbitrary class size restrictions, transfer of some students to other schools, closure of daycare and Strong Start preschool programs to free up space reallocated over the years, layoff of non-teaching staff, and cancellation of school participation in the international student program.

Peter Fassbender have begun to push back against the conspiracy theory that has taken hold, pointing out that when the BCTF finally did get permission to strike, the cabinet of the day acted to prevent it. Here’s a recap. In late February 2012, nearly 28,000 teachers (90 per cent) voted to go to the full strike allowed by the LRB. The government tabled legislation to impose a cooling-off period with provision for steep fines on the union for any further strike action, and appointed a mediator. This kept schools open, and eventually yielded a twoyear deal. In April 2012, the union voted to withdraw all volunteer work by teachers. By this time they had been ordered by the LRB to prepare second-term report cards, in part so students would know if they could apply for post-secondary studies. Once again this mess is before the court of appeal. Perhaps there will be better recognition of the real world this time around.

Olalla man wins major prize in national contest By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com A national contest involving seven credit unions and Mastercard recently announced the local winner of the Choice Rewards “Grammy Getaway” contest. James Irwin of Olalla, a member of Valley First Credit Union in Keremeos, was recently announced winner of 500,000 Choice Rewards points. (Todd Arndt from Integris Credit Union in Prince George won the VIP GRAMMY Getaway Package.) “It’s really something, out of the whole country, for one of our customers here in Keremeos to win,” said Valley First Credit Union Keremeos Branch Manager Joan Bauman.
The points carry a monetary value of $5,000. Irwin just happened to be looking for a second credit card when he applied for a Mastercard and entered the contest. “It’s too bad the 500,000 points wasn’t dollars,” Irwin joked. Irwin will also have $2,500 to donate to a registered charity organization of his choice, in his name. “I researched local charities, because they don’t have the same opportunities large national charities do,” Irwin said, explaining the reason for his charitable selection. He named the South Okanagan Similkameen Brain Injury Society as recipient for his donation. He also plans to use the $5,000 to fly to Montreal to visit his daughter.
Dog tail docking procedure criticized in court proceedings By Joe Fries Black Press Following in good faith her father’s outdated instructions for docking puppies’ tails helped a local dog breeder escape conviction on an animal cruelty charge. Randall Gottfriedson, 23, was found not guilty after a trial last week in provincial court in Penticton of a single count of causing an animal to be in continuing
distress. Court heard Gottfriedson was reported to an SPCA cruelty investigator by a Kamloops veterinarian who saw one of the Cawston breeder’s puppies three days after it was sold for $250. Dr. Andrew Reid testified the Australian cattle dog was about eight weeks old when it was brought to his office for a checkup on March 2, 2012. He said he noticed
right away the puppy, named Squeak, had two bands wrapped tightly around its tail in an apparent effort to cut off blood supply and cause a portion of the tail to fall off. The veterinarian said Squeak appeared to be in distress and the tail was hard, swollen, infected and seemed to be painful to the touch. “The puppy was not willing to raise its tail, and wasn’t willing — because of the
discomfort — wasn’t willing to interact in a way one would expect of a puppy,” Reid said. He told the court the tailing bands would have likely caused Squeak a “prolonged period of chronic discomfort.” Reid explained that the current generally accepted method of tail docking sees the appendage clipped surgically by a veterinarian when a dog is just a few days old.

Gottfriedson testified she learned the banding method of tail docking from her father, a rancher, and didn’t think to consult a veterinarian. Gottfriedson admitted her dad suggested the puppy stay with its mother — who could help stave off infection — until the tail fell off, which typically takes two weeks, but instead relented at the request of the new owner.
“I had advised (the new owner) to wait a little longer… but she was persistent and wanted her dog,” said Gottfriedson, who also told the court she didn’t see Squeak exhibit any signs of distress but has since come to regret her actions. Judge Meg Shaw ruled Gottfriedson had indeed caused the dog to be in distress, but also found the breeder had taken reasonable care to avoid doing so and was therefore not guilty of the offence. Gottfriedson “fol-
lowed the directions, and was under the guidance, of her father, a traditional First Nations rancher,” Shaw said, and “provided care for the puppy as appropriately as she knew how.” “I find Ms. Gottfriedson believed in mistaken facts that the old way of docking tails was not stressful or painful to the puppy,” the judge continued. “With the knowledge she has now, she will know the traditional method of docking the tails of puppies is no longer appropriate.”

MEDITATION - THE ANSWERING By Sharon Taphorn, Vancouver BC PART I A man sitting on a bench, meditating. “Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity” – Sivananda Mediation is simply the conscious act of altering your state of consciousness. We change our state of consciousness all of the time. We are in one level of consciousness when we balance our bank accounts, and an entirely different level when we are daydreaming. When we go to sleep at night, we experience several levels of consciousness, our REM sleep, delta levels, and theta levels. The lists of possible states of consciousness’s we go through during any given day are numerous. So, what is Meditation? Meditation is the conscious choice to suspend the conscious thoughts of our five sensory systems and focus our awareness on the 6th sense(s) – beyond the 5 physical senses – the non physical senses. We enter into a space of NO-Time, where time does not exist. Meditation is where we go to get the answers to our prayers, our Asking. Three basic goals for a meditation are: Quieting your thoughts ~ Slowing your breathing ~ Relaxing your body Many people experience the ‘noise’ of their own thoughts, with regular meditation practice, even a few minutes each day, the noisy thoughts disappears. Be gentle with yourself. Do not set up expectations of how a meditation is going to feel or what the results are going to be. I have had the same guided meditation produce entirely different results, insights and understandings, based solely on the intent of the request that day. The only limits there are to meditation are the limits we place on them or ourselves, expectations can cause limits. Treat each meditation as an entirely new experience. Suggestions for getting started There are no rules for meditation; there is no right or wrong way. As you practice and experience different techniques, meditations, positions, times of day, etc, you will discover that which works best for you and fits into your lifestyle. It is important to remember that it must fit into your life, or the passion must be strong enough for you to want to change your life. The best way to learn to meditate is simple to just do it. The only bad meditation is the one that you did not do. In practicing meditation, your intent is the most important part. Simply set your intent before you begin. Sharon’s Bio: I am a Teacher, Healer, and Adventurer on this human journey. As an early indigo, I felt most at home with nature and animals. I have always been empathic and sensitive to the energies in my environment. Learning to work with these enhanced senses in the 3D world has been an interesting journey. I began to seek answers and clarity in books and libraries at an early age, my quest for a better understanding of why I could see, hear, feel and smell things others could not. This led to an exploration of many religions, beliefs and experiences, some dark, some strange. I learned the power of our thoughts, and working with other dimensional energies through classes on empowerment, workshops, books and life experience. A life threatening illness in my son when he was three led me to Nursing, which led me to alternative healing as my patients would tell me they felt better when I was working (I knew I had a healing touch and made a point of always touching my patients). And mother to a 22 year old multidimensional Indigo.

There has been much talk lately about the benefits of taking a baby ASA (Aspirin®) daily. It can prevent heart attacks and strokes in some people and may even reduce the risk of colon cancer. However, even though the drug is available without a prescription, always see your doctor before starting it. ASA does have side effects and drug interactions even at that low dose. Check first.
ALKALINE OR IONIZED WATER - BENEFITS?
There is no evidence that drinking “alkaline” or “ionized” water has any health benefits. Due to the extremely acid nature (low pH) of the stomach, alkaline water is immediately made acidic when it reaches the stomach. Save your money.
POLIO REDUCING WORLD WIDE
The battle against polio is close to being won. The number of children getting polio has reduced 99% since 1988 due to the oral polio vaccine. With the help of the Rotary Clubs, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Health Organization, that last 1% should be achieved in a couple of years.
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE GUIDELINES
High blood pressure guidelines in Canada say that a blood pressure of over 140/90 in people of any age should be treated with lifestyle changes and medication. For diabetics or those with kidney disease, that blood pressure limit is 130/80. It’s good to check your own blood pressure regularly. There are many easy-touse home kits available at a reasonable cost. Our pharmacists are aware of the damage high blood pressure can do to the body. Talk to them about monitoring your blood pressure at home.

Fortis rates causing confusion
To the Editor: In reading the paper edition of the Feb 13, 2014 the articles on Fortis rates only served to cause confusion for me. In the interview with Corey Sinclair by Steve Arstad on the two tiered rate system mentioned that the rates are .088 cents for each kWh for the first 1,600 kWh then going to .129 cents per kWh for additional use. In the information
added from Fortis shows different rates of 9.09 cents for the first kWh then 13.54 kWh. My concern is that if Fortis does not know what the rates are then how is the consumer to understand what we are paying. I think Fortis had better get their act together when providing information for the public as to what is reality. Darryl McDonald, Cawston

Organic produce delivery without use of fossil fuels Similkameen organic produce delivered without fossil fuels to Calgary and Kootenay markets in 2013 Contributed by Paul Kelly Shoppers at organic grocers in the B.C. Interior and Southern Alberta substantially “greened up” their produce purchases in 2013 compared to previous years, and likely did so unknowingly. For the first time since the horse and carriage, B.C. organic fruit is again being delivered without fossil fuels. Traditionally these “food miles” equate with massive volumes of diesel fuel, used to move heavy fresh food from far away orchards to packing houses, distribution warehouses, then on to retailers and consumer markets. With perishable foods like produce, dairy, eggs and meat, additional diesel fuel is required for the truck’s refrigeration unit, making climate-controlled trucking one of the
most costly ventures in the transportation sector, both financially and in terms of C02 emissions. A typical freight truck will use over 500L of diesel fuel to bring a load from Cawston to Calgary. Often these trucks return to the Okanagan empty or with a partial load, making it a 1,000 L round trip. Many haulers also operate centralized refrigerated warehouses, further increasing carbon footprint and food miles to reach and operate from these hubs. Sourcing produce from California extends this round trip by over 4,000 kilometers, and consumes an additional 1,2001,400L of diesel fuel per truckload. Kootenay foodies and entrepreneurs Paul and Clare Kelly, of Winlaw, saw a potential business opportunity in developing a solution to the problem. Making use of their contacts from a combined 25 years in Calgary’s natural food sector, and fuel from their on-farm biodiesel plant, they invested in a refrigerated truck that they could run on pure biodiesel. The 100 per cent post-consumer
fryer oil derived biodiesel that they produce is calculated to have an 89 per cent lifecycle carbon emission reduction compared to conventional fossil-fuel diesel (using the industry standard GHG Genius lifecycle tool). By shipping directly from farm to retail store without warehouse nodes, the Kelly’s firm, Revolution Biodiesel, was able to increase the share of retail proceeds to the farmers, and dramatically reduce food miles. A backhaul of Alberta organic crops such as feed, hay and straw ensures that the truck is running full to capacity as much as possible, and helps feed the B.C. interior organic farming community’s need for these commodities. While supply of true waste-to-energy biofuels is currently limited to the 150,000 L/year of oil feedstock they collect from local restaurants, the Kelly’s currently have enough biofuel to run up to three semi-loads per week to Calgary (moving over 120,000 lbs/ week of fresh organic B.C. fruit). “We are fairly competitive,” Clare Kelly said when asked how
their service compares with standard freight services. “We need a few years to establish our volumes and provide rates for regular customers.” Clare said that the company’s main goal is to help sustain small farms, and beyond paying the bills, their pricing structure is geared to that prinicple. Their freight service maintained weekly deliveries throughout the 2013 B.C. produce season, covering nearly 100,000 km from June through November, with no breakdowns or damaged freight claims. Farms who participated in the first year venture included George Zebroff, Honest Food Farm, Vialo Orchards, SchneiderBrown farm, Covert Fa r m , M a r i p o s a Farm, Ven-Amour Orchards, JMJ Farms (Rothes), Forbes farm, and wholesalers Direct Organics Plus and Cawston Cold Storage. With the B.C. cherry season now just a few months away, they are already getting calls to run more frequent and larger hauls in order to serve the growing demand for farm to table sustainability.
The Koyotes are howling down at Kobau Park Contributed Spring is in the air and the Koyotes are itching to throw the ball outside. The local U16 girls fastball team has been practising for two months in the school gym, but they cannot wait to get back on the dirt at Kobau Park. The Koyotes won the U14 “C” Provincials
last year, so this year they are moving up a division to U16 “B”. This is a big step as our team is made of 13, 14 and 15 year olds. A winter growth spurt has resulted in the need for new hoodies, sweats and ball pants. This Saturday, February 22 the Koyotes are hosting the Legion meat draw. Come out and support your local girls fastball team!

Keremeos and District Volunteer Firefighters, BC Ambulance, and Keremeos RCMP attended the scene of a single vehicle rollover on the Keremeos bypass late Friday afternoon. A white sedan travelling westbound on the bypass lost control and went into a shallow ditch, rolling at least once before coming to rest on all four wheels at the edge of an orchard. The vehicle, which was extensively damaged, took out several fence posts and about 20 metres of fence. The lone male driver was transported to Penticton Regional Hospital for treatment.

Penticton Vees visit Similkameen elementary classes By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
Five members of the Penticton Vees hockey team paid a visit to Similkameen Elementary Secondary School’s elementary school students as part of the school’s “Raise a Reader” program on Wednesday, February 12. Team members visiting the school included Cody Depourq (#19), Matt Serratore (#12), Christopher Rugus (#28), Shane McColgan (#84), and Jack Ramsey (#15). The boys were on hand
for a question period followed by a short session of reading to various elementary school classes. SESS students had a lot of questions: - Who is your favourite team? - How many sticks have you broken? - What’s your favourite colour? (blue, naturally) - How nervous do you get before each game? (pretty nervous) “That’d be my dream,” answered Cody Depourq, forward for the Vees, to a question as to whether he wants to play in the NHL. “It wouldn’t matter which team I played
for, just to make it to the NHL would be my goal.” The Vees have spent the past few weeks visiting various elementary schools in School Districts 53 and 67 as part of the “Raise a Reader”
Senior girls hosting valleys Contributed Similkameen Senior girls team will host the Okanagan Valley Single “A” Girls Basketball Championship Feb. 20-22. The Okanagan Valley is the strongest zone in the province. Coming to the tournament will be Provincial number one Immaculata. They recently won the “Best of the West” tournament in Kelowna. Winning the tournament meant beating Riverside, the number three ranked team in triple A, and Duchess Park, the number two team in the
double A category. Also coming to the tournament are Provincial number two Kelowna Christian, and number eight Heritage Christian. The Similkameen girls are currently ranked number five provincially. The tournament will showcase as good basketball as you can see anywhere in the province. The senior girls are currently 16-5 and looking forward to qualifying for provincials. For more info, call Fred at 250-499-2577.
Junior girls are on their way to Okanagan valley playoffs The Similkameen Elementary Secondary School’s Junior girls are going to the Okanagan Valley Playoffs. The Similkameen Junior Girls finished South Zone league play undefeated at 8-0. With the number one seeded in the zone, they hosted the league playoffs Wed. Feb. 5 and Fri. Feb. 7. On Wednesday they played number four seed Summerland and won 60-22. On Friday they played the winner of the number three seed Princess Margaret versus number two Penticton game, which was won Penticton. They beat Penticton in the final 55-35. This means the girls not only qualified for the valleys but will
be seeded number one out of the south. The team is led by the “Big Three”, Madison Terbasket, Reiley Terbasket and Azalya Klippenstein. All three have been scouted by university coaches this year. Taylor Thompson, Sara Vriends, Kisa Minshull, Jori Bishop, Madi Roberts and Sierra Yamamoto all give the team great playtime minutes. Overall for the year, the team stands at 20-2. Their coaches, Marshall Winser, Cole Marvin, and Celia Bush think they have a great chance to be the first Similkameen junior Girls team to go to provincials. For more info contact Celia Bush at the school.
program. During their visit to SESS, the Vees also engaged in a game of floor hockey with elementary school students, had lunch with them and signed autographs.

Putting a stop to bullying on Pink Shirt Day… Kerry Vital / Black Press Names such as Amanda Todd and Rehtaeh Parsons are sadly well-known to many Canadians. Both teens committed suicide after years of bullying at the hands of classmates. On Feb. 26, Canadians will recognize Pink Shirt Day, a day devoted to preventing bullying and
helping children and teens who are being victimized. For some people, bullying hits very close to home. Tad Milmine, now an RCMP constable, is one of them. As a child, Milmine was bullied relentlessly by classmates and locked in the basement by his stepmother every day for 12 years. His Lower Similkameen Indian Band father, an alcoholic, never tried to help him, even when Milmine’s stepmother verbally abused him. “I always held out “Our priority is to empower ourselves to build a holistic community that is healthy, self-sufficient, hope that independent and strong. We will create a safe environment in which we have the freedom to one day worship, work and play as we choose for our Greatest Resource – OUR CHILDREN!” an adult would see that I was in the basement and perhaps ‘rescue’ or ‘save’ me,” he says. “No one ever came.” At 17, Milmine ran away from home and cut all ties with his father and stepmother.

Starling control program provides benefits for everyone By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com A summary of activity from the Okanagan Starling Control Program that appeared in the BC Fruit Growers Association’s an-
nual report revealed annual expenditures for the program at $155,000 annually. The trapping program has had great success over the past 10 years, trapping 241,000 starlings in the Okanagan -
Similkameen region alone. The program is funded through three regional districts, the BCFGA, the BC Cherry Association, the BC Tree Fruit Cooperative and the
BC Grapegrowers’ Association, and is responsible for eliminating more than 500,000 starlings in the catchment area over the past 10 years. Five trappers currently work the
program, with trap locations in the Regional District North Okanagan, the Regional District Central Okanagan, and three in the Regional District Okanagan Similkameen.
Recent research conducted by the program revealed origins of the birds: - 25 per cent of samples came from the Kelowna area - 10 per cent came from the South Okanagan
- 20 per cent came from Quesnel - Five per cent came from Grand Forks - 40 per cent had undetermined origins continued on page 13

news Starlings / continued from page 12 The starling control program has also embarked on a public awareness program designed to encourage the public to work towards reducing nesting sites A reduction in starlings in the Similkameen has also reduced the use of bird scaring devices such as propane cannons. Agriculturalists experience reduced costs for bird control measures and bird damage to crops, and the general public benefits from a return in populations of native songbirds to the area.
Startling Starling Facts - Listed on the World Conservation Union List as one of the world’s top 100 worst invasive species. - Starlings are intelligent and adaptable. - Starlings can fly 50 - 60 or more kilometres from roosting to feeding sites. - Starlings can have up to three broods a year, with four to five eggs in a brood, averaging eight offspring a year.

Keremeos man convicted of indecent exposure to face sentencing March 12 The details were graphic enough to make some in the courtroom uncomfortable. By Kristy Patton Black Press A Keremeos man was found guilty of two counts of exposing his genitals to minors in 2011. Judge Gregory Koturbash rejected the claim Roy Charles Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donaghey made that his penis had accidentally been exposed to a boy. One of the complainants said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donaghey pulled the leg of his shorts to his side to let his dog lick his genitals. The youth said he did see Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donagheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penis and the man stood up stating he was getting too excited and needed to walk around. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donaghey told RCMP the dog was licking boils in his groin to clean them. His wife corroborated this by stating in her testimony that they believed the dog would lick the poison out of their wounds.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately dogs donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to choose their owners,â&#x20AC;? said Judge Koturbash in his decision last December at the Penticton courthouse. A second youth testified that while helping Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donaghey move from Cawston to Keremeos he was shown playing cards with naked and nearly naked men on them. The youths were further exposed to what Crown called â&#x20AC;&#x153;sexualized conversationsâ&#x20AC;? when Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donaghey told them that he met with a male friend weekly for sexual purposes and previously talked to one of the youths about masturbation. The second complaint stemmed from an incident when one of the youths was in the back of Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donagheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truck moving boxes when he came across a pellet gun. The youth said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donaghey pulled out his penis and put it on the back of the truck tailgate and told the boy to use it as a target. The same youth alleged Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donaghey told him a story that one time when he lived in Langley he was sleeping and a boy came to his room and sat on his penis. The youth said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donaghey told him that he was criminally charged but it was later dropped. During closing arguments defence suggested the
two exposure charges Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donaghey faced should be dismissed because they were childish games of dare and were not for a sexual purpose. Judge Koturbash sided with Crown counsel Catherine Crockett that Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donagheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statements to the police about fighting certain urges he had, telling one of the complainants not to tell his parents about the dog incident and the fact he wanted to apologize to the youths showed the acts were sexually motivated and not innocent exposures. Crockett argued this was all â&#x20AC;&#x153;backdrop for the exposure.â&#x20AC;? Koturbash also rejected the notion that at least one of the exposure incidents was accidental. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donaghey told RCMP he had been raped by two men when he was 10 years old and acknowledged he did â&#x20AC;&#x153;slip up now and then.â&#x20AC;? Koturbash found Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donaghey not guilty of one count of breach where it was alleged he tried to contact the minors which went against his bail conditions. He will return to court on March 12 for a sentencing hearing.
