After many months of work, countless inter-views and much research I am honoured to offer you this, the first issue of the Indo-Okanagan Times. What we learned during this process was that there is a need for a community newspa-per in both Punjabi and English. One out of ev-ery 20 citizens in British Columbia is Indo-Cana-dian, and that number is expected to increase.As well, 30 percent of the Indo-Canadians in this country speak Pun-jabi in their homes, which was one of the main rea-

sons we decided to pub-lish in both languages. I want to express my gratitude to the advertis-ers in this publication who see the potential this new venture will bring. Without your support, this paper would not be possible. Of course you would not be reading this paper today if it were not for the dedication of a wonderful staff. You’ve been right here, helping out wherev-er needed these past few months, and finally every-thing has come together. Lastly, I wish to thank you, the reader. Your thoughts and comments

are welcomed, as we hope you will think of this as your newspaper. It is our goal to offer you a well-written publication that adds to the identity and pride of the com-munities we serve, while focusing on celebrat-ing your achievements. I look forward to continu-ing to work together with you all, in the months and years going forward.

Sincerely,Bob Gill

Crack down on rape requiredDear Editor,

For the past 10 years, rape incidents have increased by 200 per cent in India. It’s unbe-lievable that the gov-ernment and those in power haven’t cracked down on these hei-nous crimes until re-cently where they’re considering pass-ing tough legislation. Unfortunately, it’s al-

most become the norm to hear about young women who’ve been raped. As these rapists haven’t been punished appropriately, it has lead to the point where a five-year-old girl was raped and died due to her inju-ries. There should have been an outcry from the Indian society, but their silence signifies their complacency with these vicious crimes.

Something must be done to salvage this seemingly morally bankrupt society. I left India 50 years ago, and while I’m proud of my heritage and eth-nicity, I do not want to be associated with this rape culture and com-placent community. While visiting India, the corrupt interference with justice by the po-lice and politicians is

rampant. If a rapist is in connection with them, the politicians tell them not to charge them with a rape crime. They’re only interested in gain-ing votes by bribing and buying them. Unfortu-nately, they’ve reached the point where politi-cians use drugs to lure young people to vote for them so the elected party can continue and make millions of rupees.

The political power is highly abused and it must come to an end so we can at least save our future generations.

Water levels abating in Okanagan

By Roy Heuckendorff,Special to the In-do-Okanagan Times

Although flood condi-tions in the Okanagan valley and surround-ing areas have begun to abate, local officials are advising residents to remain vigilant as re-cent heavy rain events could cause water lev-els to rise quickly. Cur-rently, water levels in Okanagan Lake are sta-ble but still on the rise. “Okanagan Lake is expected to crest about mid-June,” said Des Anderson, Head of Public Safety and Pro-tection for the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Op-erations. “It continues to rise at a rate of .5cm to 3cm per day and we are discharging as much water as we can given the conditions.” By conditions Ander-son is referring to the multitude of factors that go in to making deci-sions about water dis-charge. For example, an actual backwater developed south of the border due to the over-flowing Similkameen River in mid-May. Dis-charging too much wa-ter may have caused a serious problem with that backwater had the Americans and Canadi-ans who look after these things not been commu-nicating as effectively as they do. When changing conditions need imme-diate attention, agen-cies on both sides of the border jump into action. The Similkameen River has settled down now, and Anderson said the river peaked on May 15th and has been drop-ping ever since, but had the backwater problem not at least been identi-fied, it may have caused

serious consequences. Dale Kronebusch, Emergency Services Supervisor with the Re-gional District of Okana-gan Similkameen, confirmed the Similka-meen River is moving toward a less-haz-ardous situation. “There is enough capacity within the Similkameen River that I don’t think it is an area of concern – at this time,” Kronebusch said. In addition to remaining vigilante, residents are also being advised to keep in place any emer-gency measures they have taken. Janette Van Vianen, Director of Cor-porate Services for the Town of Osoyoos, said, “Those people who have sandbags out should keep them in place for at least another week or week and a half. We will have a better idea then as to whether the lake levels will remain stabilized or if levels will be increasing again.” Van Vianen is informed by the US Geologi-cal Survey whenever the level of Osoyoos Lake reaches 913 ft., at which time care-ful monitoring begins. As of May 28th, the lake level was 912.53. With the recent lo-cal weather events, many areas hit hard a few weeks ago should also be extra vigilant. The north Okanagan suffered some of the worst damage with one business in Lumby alone suffering dam-ages approximating $10,000. Most rivers, however, have reached their peak and are ex-pected to drop. The River Forecast Cen-tre has ended a High Streamflow Advisory for the Thomson region. The Central Okana-

gan is a different story, however. The recent heavy rainfall caused by a significant upper-low pressure system may see the BC River Fore-cast Centre issuing a High Streamflow Advi-sory. The system will likely bring an eastern flow of moist air through the Interior possibly into early June, so res-idents are advised to keep a close eye on the weather. Although snowpack throughout the area is melting at a satisfactory rate, weath-er conditions, namely heavy rainfall and un-seasonably hot weath-er, could tip the balance and see a sudden burst in snowpack run-off. As Dale Kronebusch from the RDOS said, “These recent weather patterns (in the Okana-gan Valley) are playing havoc with the weather and water level fore-casters. Traditional-ly the flooding events usually happen in the south first, then work their way up the valley north. Even though I think we are nearing the end of our ‘2013 Spring Freshet,’ I am not put-ting my rubber boots on the shelf just yet.” Sage advise to be sure.For more information, updates, or flood re-porting, call the Pro-vincial Emergency Program (PEP) at 1-800-663-3456. The line is available 24/7. Information is also avail-able through most nor-mal local government emergency channels.

Punjabi Women Celebrate in KamloopsBy Constance Roth

What do you get when you have more than 500 women, dressed their best, hair and makeup done, delicious aromas in the air, lively music and dancing? Teeyan Da Mela- of course. Members of the Punjabi community hosted their annual Teeyan Mother’s Day Mela Sunday, May 26 in Kamloops at Co-lombo Lodge. Moth-ers and daughters from all ethnic groups were in attendance for the sold out event.

Teeyan, also known as Teej is an import-ant festival for the women of Punjab. “It is about happiness, prosperity and well-be-ing”, explained Sharan Randhawa, one of the event coordinators. “It is usually celebrat-ed in the Punjabi month of Sawan which is June. Young girls and women get together in the villages of India and perform Teej ritu-als. They get together and sing and dance which is called Giddha, and girls swing on dec-orated swings called peengs,” she explained

to the over 500 women and girls in the room. Randhawa contin-ued, “They put henna on their hands and feet and get brightly co-loured lenghans sewn to wear for their Punja-bi dances. It is a time for women to get away from their daily chores and enjoy themselves. They prepare pako-ras, samosas and sweets for everyone to enjoy at the festival.”After welcoming ev-eryone to the eve-ning’s event, Pal Sangha, co-coordina-tor, explained Teeyan 2013 was in celebra-

tion of Mother’s Day. Sangha said, “Your mom is the truest friend you will have. She will stand by you in your days of dark-ness, bring peace to your heart, and rejoice with you in your days of sunshine.” She hoped the women in atten-dance would take time to wish their mothers all the happiness they deserve, to appreciate their sacrifices, to love them and respect them and make them feel important and special.

Allison Bell, com-munity connections coordinator with Kam-loops Cariboo Region-al Immigrant Society (KCRIS) who attended with her mother, Kathy Kilmartin thought, “It was a wonderful oppor-tunity to spend some time with my mother, make new connec-tions, and participate with other cultures in the community.” The evening included appetizers, and dinner, as well as tradition-al dances performed

by girls and women from the Punjabi com-munity. After which those in attendance were encouraged to join in the dancing.Amongst the laughter, joy and warm embrac-es, these women were able to see each other for the people they are, and were able to appre-ciate the uniqueness of their differences. For more photos, and to watch a vid-eo of the event, vis-it www.indookana-g a n t i m e s . c o m .

The Indo-Canadian population is growing anda newspaper such as this is long overdue in

the region.

We wish you all the best for the future

Use a realtor, or go it alone? Do you really need a realtor when you sell your home, or can you do it yourself?Selling a home is one of the biggest financial transactions most of us will ever make. Realtors have the qualifications and experience to help make that transaction as smooth and painless as possible. Handling a real estate transaction on your own can be like trying to repair your own car; you may have all the right parts and tools, but unless you have the skill of a professional, you may end up making a very costly mistake. Most people who buy and sell their homes do enlist the services of a realtor.

Those who go the “do it yourself” route often wind up changing their minds and contacting a realtor when they discover the process is more complex, t i m e - c o n s u m i n g and intimidating than they thought. The main reason people attempt to sell their own homes is to save on the real estate commission. But will you really save money if you sell your home yourself? Maybe not. Most buyers expect a discount from the seller because you aren’t paying a real estate commission and, as a result, may offer you less than fair market value for your home. Determining the fair market value

is one area requiring a realtors extensive knowledge and training. If you set your price too high, you may frighten off potential buyers; set it too low and you could lose thousands of dollars needlessly. One of your realtors most important tasks will be to help you decide upon a realistic market value for your home; one that will enable you to sell it quickly and for the best possible price. Through the Multiple Listing Service, MLS, your realtor will ensure your home gets maximum exposure to other realtors and their potential buyers. This is just one of the many ways a

realtor will market your home. He or she may also advertise in newspapers, on television and/or on the internet. Your marketing plan may also include open houses just for other realtors and also for the public. A realtor will work with you to develop a marketing plan that meets your needs.Do you really have the time it takes to sell your home? A realtor will write and pay for the ads to market your home, remain available day and night for calls from prospects, host open houses on the weekends, show your property on short notice, screen potential

buyers, fill out all the paperwork, handle the negotiations and do the dozens of other things required to sell a home. When you consider the amount of time invested, are you really saving any money by going it alone?Many homeowners lack the skill to negotiate the best price for their home. Selling your home can be a highly emotional experience, making it almost impossible to remain neutral when potential buyers make negative comments about the property. A realtor is a skilled negotiator who can remain impartial during the negotiations – a job that allows you to keep your stress

levels to a minimum.When you consider all the services they provide – marketing, negotiating, dealing with contracts and legal issues – it pays to have a realtor on your side. Working with a realtor – a licensed real estate professional who is a member of his or her local real estate board and the British Columbia Real Estate Association – entitles you to access a vast array of services and benefits you will not get when you “do it yourself”.
