Fortis BC FortisBC PowerSense wants to help local non-profits save energy by inviting them to participate in this year’s FortisBC PowerSense Earth Hour Challenge for a chance to win up to $4,000 in energy saving upgrades for their facility. FortisBC PowerSense will profile up to nine non-profit organizations prior to Earth Hour. Residents of the Okanagan and the Kootenays can select the non-profit of their choice when they pledge to switch off for Earth Hour. The non-profit with the most support will win the upgrade, and all nine non-profits will get hands on advice that can help them lower their operating costs and make their facility more comfortable. To apply, interested non-profits can go online to fortisbc.com/earthhour and submit a photo of their facility along with up to 250 words describing their organization and how they could put the energy savings to good use. Applications must be received by February 25. Earth Hour 2013 is Saturday, March 23 from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. Each year, FortisBC PowerSense encourages residents to pledge to “switch off ” and join millions of people around the world as they participate in Earth Hour.
Similkameen Elementary Secondary senior boys triumph in weekend basketball tournament Contributed by Peter Ruocco The Similkameen Sparks senior boys basketball team were crowned Okanagan Valley Champions on Saturday night when
they defeated Immaculata from Kelowna 73-60. T he game was played before a standing room only packed house at the Similkameen Secondary
Gym. The Valley Championship tournament began on Thursday afternoon with eight schools participating. Besides Similkameen and Immcu-
lata, schools from St. Ann’s (Kamloops), Barriere, Chase, Osoyoos, Lumby and Sicamous played. Our local heroes had relatively easy wins over Barriere and Chase
on the Thursday and Friday before a classic matchup with Immaculata on Saturday. The boys were down by seven at the half before battling back in the second
half, led by some outstanding play from their seniors Skye Terbasket, Jaskaran Lidher, David Ruocco, Josh Vissia and next years returners Jesse Vissia, Brandon Hol-
ley and Braydon Klippenstein. The boys are now off to the Provincial Tournament March 6-10 at the University of the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford.

Students gather for astro-talk “Don’t forget to say over,” South Okanagan - Similkameen students instructed as they pose questions about life in space with astronaut Chris Hadfield
Need money
Photos by Steve Arstad
By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Five hundred of the region’s elementary school students had an experience that was out of this world on Friday, February 22 at Uplands School in Penticton. Two grade six classes from Similkameen Elementary Secondary School attended an assembly in which 20 students asked orbiting Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield questions about life in space. Two students from Keremeos, Naomi Antler and Missy Vesper, were among those whose questions were put forward to the astronaut. The outer space contact came about as part of the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program, a volunteer initiative aimed at inspiring students worldwide to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math through amateur radio communications opportunities. Members of the local ham (amateur) radio fraternity were on hand to explain the part their hobby played in the event. Orin Beebe, a resident of Upper Bench Road, Keremeos, has been a ham radio operator since his 15th birthday. “I was once the youngest person in Canada ever to have a ham radio license, and if I live long enough, I’ll be the oldest,” Beebe laughed, describing his experiences with amateur radio to be some of the most rewarding in his life. Penticton amatuer radio operator Allan Stark noted that there are 200 amateur operators in the region, and 500 Okanagan valley wide. “Amateur radio operators are often the only communication available after a major natural disaster,” he said, adding that ham operators can listen to International Space Station communications when tuned to their frequency - 145.800 - whenever astronauts operate the amateur radio on board the space station. Amateur radio played an integral part in the event.
A phone patch from Uplands School was set up with an amateur radio operator in northwest Italy, who used his ham radio setup to communicate with the International Space Station. Hadfield was travelling 350 kilometres overhead, at 23,000 kilometres per hour, leaving a roughly ten minute window for communication between Uplands and the ISS. Anticipation was palpable amongst the 500 plus students, media, local politicians, reserves, emergency service staff, and parents crammed into the school gymnasium as Hadfield approached the radio transmission zone of the Italian ham operator. At first faint and garbled, the transmission grew distinct as Hadfield travelled overhead. The students had time to answer 20 of 23 pre-written questions. Hadfield was able to tell them the most beautiful spot on the planet as seen from space - “I’d like to tell you Penticton, but I think the Bahamas, with their coral reefs, are the most beautiful,” he answered. Students also asked about playing the guitar - “it sounds the same as on Earth, but more difficult to play because of the weightlessness” - about failing - “I’ve made small mistakes, but through hard work I’ve avoided making big ones.” The students had several other interesting topics that Hadfield was able to educate them on before his signal began to fade. Italian ham radio operator Claudio Ariottli provided the Italian link for the conversation, while Brian Edge provided coordination for the effort in Penticton. Italy was selected because of its proximity to the ISS to Earth in its orbit at 11:36 local time (19:36 UTC). The International Space Station can be currently be seen in the Similkameen sky at 6:04 p.m., appearing in the southwest sky and moving in an east- north east direction.

Healthy living, budget highlights council meeting By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The February 18 regular meeting of council began with the presentation of a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal to Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer. Bauer was presented with the medal on behalf of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, who awarded 1,200 of these medals to current heads of councils of municipalities who have been members of FCM for five years or more. The medal is presented to the head of council in recognition of the important role that local governments and their elected officials play in ensuring prosperity and quality of life in their municipality. Interior Health’s Lori Motluk, Interior Health Acute Care Director for the South Okanagan, addressed council in an informational session regarding current IHA initiatives. She also discussed the challenges that lie ahead for the IHA as the population in the South Okanagan - Similkameen continues to age, noting predicted increases in chronic conditions, mental illness, cancer, and frail in care patients. The health ministry’s strategy is moving towards pro-active care in a shift from reactive care. Emphasis in the future will be geared towards patients remaining in their homes while convalescing, noting that studies have shown that patients recover more quickly and with fewer complications than when in hospital. Motluk also mentioned the 282 million dollar patient care tower at Penticton Regional Hospital as being number one on IH’s capital planning list. Betty Brown, Community Health Facilitator for Interior Health, also spoke to council as part of her request to have Keremeos join in the Okangan Similkameen Healthy Living Coalition. Brown delivered a presentation similar to one given to the regional district board in November last year. The Healthy Living Coalition has formed a society as a five year project to address healthy living as a regional collaborative. It
is hoped that through its status as a society it will be able to attract external grants from senior governments and foundations to fund its work. Brown noted that although Mayor Bauer was the first mayor to respond with interest in joining the coalition, she was speaking to council as one of the last regional communities to agree to participate, as schedules had not allowed her an earlier opportunity to address council. Brown’s request to council was: - partner with Interior Health to increase actions that will improve the health of the community by reducing chronic disease and obesity. - join the Okanagan - Similkameen Healthy Living Coalition to create local and regional strategies to improve health as a means of implementing the partnership. Council agreed to partner with Interior Health in the initiative. Council received the final report on the Tap by Tap program. The village office distributed 235 water and energy saving kits to Keremeos residents between May and December last year. Healthy living returned to the agenda once again with a letter from the Regional District Okanagan - Similkameen encouraging the village to enter into a letter of understanding with the Okanagan Similkameen Healthy Living Society. The letter was received for information. Council also dealt with budget details. Apparently, things were slow in the village last year as council heard details of the budget variance report, which noted the following highlights: - General tax revenues ended the year slightly below budget by $1,900. - Cemetery, development and hall rentals have all been below budget for the year, but sale of equipment that was not budgeted resulted in this group of accounts ending the year above budget by $21,000. Development cost charges (DCC’s) generated no revenue last year. - Legal costs related to the Info Centre resulted in an over budget of $9,500. Overall general govcontinued on page 17

RDOS board warned of impending aquatic species invasion Directors agree that aquatic species threat to the Okanagan - Similkameen is real By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Lisa Scott, Coordinator of the Okanagan and Similkameen Invasive Species Society, addressed the regional board about a new threat to the region’s lakes at the regular board meeting on February 21. Scott told the board that her society - formerly spreading the word about invasive plants - was recently rebranded to include invasive water species. Although her presentation was mostly about potential marine threats to the local environment, she was quick to point out that regional district funding for her society would continue to be directed towards invasive plant species. Using last summer’s snakehead fish incident in Burnaby to illustrate the increasing awareness of the issue, Scott noted the potential for huge costs should the Okanagan be invaded by an invasive aquatic species. Last year, Schuswap Lake dodged a bullet when a boat from Arizona was discovered with zebra mussels attached to it. “They believe the mussels were all dead,” she said, “and everyone is hopeful nothing alive got into the lake.” Zebra and Quagga mussels, imported to the Great Lakes in the ballast of European ships, have spread
throughout eastern North America. They have also been found in a few western states. They produce very sharp shells, eat the food of native species, and collect around man made items like water intakes, eventually plugging them up. Scott noted that the region’s lakes have all the right conditions for survival - leaning towards high alkalinity and therefore promoting shell growth - and not a lot is being done in B.C. at present to mitigate their arrival in our waters. Scott detailed the State of Idaho’s efforts to keep the species out of their state. Idaho has a mandatory inspection of all boats in a self funded, $875,000 program. In 2012, 57 mussel fouled boats were discovered, five of which were ultimately destined for B.C., and three for Alberta. The program also conducted a survey that made a startling discovery: boaters launching into an Idahoan lake came from just about every state of the union. “People travel vast distances with their boats,” Scott said. So far, Okanagan-Similkameen efforts have involved the hiring of a “aquatic student” for 13 weeks at $5,000 under contract with the Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB). A hired student worked in provincial campgrounds from Osoyoos to Vernon attempting to educate the public in a “clean, drain, dry” program to boaters. Provincially, recent legislative changes in B.C. has resulted in the prohibition of high risk species, with fines up to $250,000 for introducing an invasive species and $100,000 fines for not clean-
ing boats prior to placing them in local lakes. Scott noted that the legislation was similar to laws in effect in neighbouring states and Alberta. West Bench Director Brydon questioned why the OBWB, who had a milfoil program in place, wouldn’t be taking on the task of invasive species prevention, while Area “C” Director Allan Patton noted that, based on experience with land based invasive species, it was “hopeless” to expect that it could be stopped. “We’re going to need a biological species to fight it in the long run,” he said. Area “D” Director Tom Siddon expressed the need to raise the level of public awareness, reasoning that customs inspectors could help identify contaminated watercraft. He wondered if the country’s winter conditions offered a mitigating factor, noting at the same time the amount of invasive aquatic species in the eastern part of the country, which had colder winter than the regional district. Osoyoos Director Stu Wells reiterated the potential for huge costs in controlling and maintaining waterways should these species take hold. He advocated an invasive species permit for all boaters, as well as a resolution to be brought forward to the Southern Interior Local Government Association (SILGA) convention. “Idaho’s got it right,” commented Penticton Director Gary Litke in conclusion, “why do we need to invent the wheel? There’s a lot of urgency to this.”

Editorial Journalists should know better The latest scandal to rock the Upper House - Canada’s Senate - over several senators improperly collecting a housing allowance - strikes close to the bone as two of the highest profile “porkers” are former journalists. It strikes us as odd that journalists should be appointed senators in the first place. As members of the fifth estate, it is their duty to scrutinize and report on the types of pork barrelling we are hearing that these senators are taking part of. They spend their careers seeking out this type of story, and to their credit; these are the types of things Canadians need to be aware of, especially when one ponders the questionable value of the upper house. Journalists, as a profession, should never be appointed to such a position of privilege; at the very least, any self respecting journalist should never accept a senate appointment. How does it look when a sitting government and appoints a journalist to the senate? It also doesn’t look good when former journalists, who were once held in high esteem by the public for their journalistic professionalism, are in turn exposed for having no better morals than the politicians they reported on during their journalistic careers. It must be human self interest, however, that eventually seems to taint everyone exposed to the excesses of government, for it seems like no one is immune to the prospect of easy money paid out at the expense of the taxpayer, when the opportunity arises. If the allegations against these two former journalists turn out to be true, Canadians are presented with yet another reason for the urgency for senate reform, and for the justice system to condemn this behaviour to the letter of the law. For its one thing when a career politician pork barrels; it’s quite another when a professional who spends their career watching and reporting this disgraceful, selfish behaviour turns around and emulates it at the first privileged opportunity.

The Don Cherry of TV science By Tom Fletcher Black Press He has a white beard and a bully pulpit on CBC television, but he doesn’t use it to promote hockey fighting. Instead he sucker punches the oil and gas industry at every opportunity, with increasingly flagrant disregard for the rules of science. Public broadcasting referees keep their whistles in their pockets, wary of offending a legend. He’s David Suzuki, and he has evolved from geneticist to TV celebrity to his current role as the Don Cherry of Canadian science, an angry curmudgeon lashing out at his enemies. Earlier I wrote about Suzuki’s hit piece on the Alberta oil sands, featuring selective pollution studies and a celebrity turn by movie director James Cameron, who toured the alleged carbon crime scene in his personal jet helicopter. Suzuki’s latest Scud missile of misinformation was launched Feb. 7 on “The Nature of Things.”It’s called
“Shattered Ground, “ and it borrows heavily from earlier shock docs that target hydraulic fracturing for shale oil and gas. While clearly aimed at the surging shale gas industry in B.C., this hour-long program offers little about B.C.’s long history of gas development. Suzuki’s voiceover refers briefly to B.C.’s Oil and Gas Commission, insinuating it was set up as a pet regulator protecting the industry from stricter oversight. Mostly the show focuses on places like Dish, Texas and Dimock, Pennsylvania. The Texas segment talks about traces of neurotoxins in residents’ blood samples, blaming this on gas drilling and “fracking,” the new swear word of professional environmentalists. The evidence shows some people have these traces in their blood, but others don’t, which suggests that more likely sources are cigarettes or exposure to disinfectants. Pennsylvania and Colorado are key stops for the anti-fracking crowd. For
centuries there have been places known for methane dissolved in groundwater, typically from shallow coal seams. This is where you can find a rustic fellow to shake a jug of well water and touch his Bic lighter to it, producing a brief blue flame. The standard sequence moves to a sink and faucet, where a more impressive methane fireball is generated. Suzuki’s voice-over notes that this is the scene that really gets media attention. There’s no evidence that drilling caused it, but hey, it’s TV. Science, meet “Hillbilly Handfishin’”. Protest sequences take up much of the program. Moms rally against a gas well near a school in Erie, Pennsylvania, forcing evil Canadian corporation Encana to back off. An elderly Quebec woman sobs on camera, convinced that a nearby gas well will trigger a relapse of her cancer. One bit of local content is a segment on fracking-induced earthquakes, presented with sombre alarm by
Ben Parfitt, go-to researcher for the anti-industry left in B.C. These are detectable by sensitive instruments, as is the case with some mining and other industrial activities, but according to the Oil and Gas Commission, they don’t do any actual harm. It should be noted that Suzuki doesn’t do much beyond reading a script on these shows. He has people to load up the propaganda weaponry, just as his ghostwriter in Toronto cranks out the relatively innocuous weekly columns that run in some Black Press publications. In fairness, most episodes of “The Nature of Things”are in the original spirit of the show. A recent program on an ancient Egyptian aquifer, voiced by Suzuki over “National Geographic” video footage, would be appropriate for a high school classroom. The same cannot be said for this anti-fracking screed, which is plainly and recklessly calculated to twist public opinion against a crucial B.C. industry.

Reader challenges people to appreciate water To the Council of Canadians: I will challenge people locally via email and letters to the editor to spend six hours without turning on a tap or flushing a toilet on March 22 or 23, which ever day they are at home. Water will only become valuable or important when individuals are without it. We can start on World Water Day with some experiential learning giving some increased water awareness - “No tap water for only six hours” - fill containers, bathtub, buckets ahead of time and live for only six hours without turning on your tap when you
are at home - so Friday or Saturday. After this experience recall that you are not without water - you prepared and were just without your tap. What would happen if you were not able to fill those containers? I did suggest this in 2012 to Council of Canadians and also to Okanagan Basin Water Board, but no one replied to me. Please appreciate your water - both quantity and quality. Coral Brown, from a recharge and ground water limited rural area of the B.C. South Okanagan. (Twin Lakes)

Issue is about water availability and quality, not development To the Editor, I attended a recent meeting called by Regional District Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) Area “D” Director Siddon. Attendees included RDOS staff, Area “G” Director Wood, developer Suki Sekhon, President, CRS Group, and enough Twin Lakes’ residents to fill the room. Siddon suggested we consider how the developer feels having purchased property on which zoning allowing development may be “taken away.” The Twin Lakes issue is not about a developer’s feelings, but about the quantity and quality of ground water available in this ecosensitive area, and how many households, agricultural wells and surface water licenses it will support. Having lived in Japan and California, I experienced the devastating effects of water shortage personally, economically, to agriculture, ranching and wild areas. Twin Lakes is home to species at risk (Spayed Foot Frog/ Toad, Tiger Salamander, Western Painted Turtle) and migratory birds and wildlife. Five rare Lewis woodpeckers reside in our yard. Previous hydrogeology reports concluded available water in the Twin Lakes area is already allocated or over-allocated to existing households and the area’s agricultural wells, irrigation, storage and diversion water licenses. CRS is spending $250,000 on a new hydrogeology report, a fraction of the profit CRS expects should the development proceed.
Residents have repeatedly requested the Terms of Reference and Assignment of the current study, without response. This information should be provided to existing area residents who may be affected by the development. CRS applied for a development variance permit for a significant reduction in the RDOS required water flow/household, stating that Okanagan households use more water than do others in Canada. Twin Lakes is an arid climate outside of fire protection. We must keep plant material surrounding our homes green, which requires water, in case of fire. Should the development be approved, will the RDOS, which will realize considerable property tax revenues; 1. Ensure provisions should ground water levels fall below acceptable levels and aquifer mining occurs? 2. Pay for monitoring and regulation of ground water use? 3. Establish with CRS, a trust fund prior to permit approval to compensate current home owners should the development drain available water? According to a geologist in attendance, once the sand and gravel aquifer water is mined, sediment materials compact and the aquifer won’t refill. Water must then be hauled, requiring residents to build reservoirs, as no other water is available. Water is life for Twin Lakes area residents and rare and threatened species which reside here. Sincerely, Jennifer Strong
Well known school trustee running for local NDP candidate’s position My name is Sam Hancheroff and I am a longterm NDP member. I was born and raised in Grand Forks, attended school there, and went to Selkirk College in Castlegar. I know the Boundary country well and understand their needs and desires. In 1971, I moved to Okanagan Falls to start my teaching career at Okanagan Falls Elementary, where I taught for 33 years. I was an active community member volunteering with the Okanagan Falls Fire Department and an elected Trustee for several terms with the Okanagan Falls Irrigation District. I moved to Kaleden in 1993 and again was elected as trustee to the Kaleden Irrigation District. In 2004, I ran for school trustee and was elected to School District 53 as a representative for Okanagan Falls. I continue to be a member on both boards at this time. In my capacity as school trustee, I travel throughout the district and have numerous occasions to meet with a number of community members. Overwhelmingly they express wishes to improve learning opportunities for children and adult learners. I also regularly hear from community members about issues or concerns that are affecting their health, lifestyle, job opportunities, and political topics. In addition to these activities, I also manage
our family vineyard here in Kaleden, enjoying the opportunity to be involved in the agriculture and viticulture industry. My wife, Barbra Paterson (a retired school principal), and I have four adult children, and five grandchildren. We both continue to be actively involved in schools and our community, while greatly enjoying being grandparents! I am running for this NDP nomination as I believe strongly in our NDP party and feel that it is our time to have greater representation of the NDP in our Provincial government. I am a strong supporter of the elderly, health care, education, job opportunities, agriculture and our environment. I have participated and advocated at community levels of government for over 30 years. I understand hardships that families have when there are no jobs, seniors that are frustrated with government bureaucracy, and families with a child that needs special care at school. I have spoken with many adult learners and high school students who are frustrated because their choice of a career is hard to achieve because courses may not be available in their communities. I am a hard worker, problem solver, and respectful of all people and their opinions. You can count on me for integrity, advocacy, and strong communication skills. I Listen! I Care! I Act!

Hedley’s Beryl Wallace received a Queen’s Jubilee medal from MP Alex Atamenenko at a special ceremony in Oliver on February 21.
By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com Six outstanding citizens of the South Okanagan - Similkameen were honoured on February 21 by the awarding of a Queen’s Jubilee medal, presented to them by BC Southern Interior MP Alex Atamanenko. Approximately 50 people turned out to the Oliver Legion Hall for the awards ceremony last Thursday night. Three citizens of the Similkameen and three from the South Okanagan were given the medals, which commemorate the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne. James Ouellette of Oliver, Kim Schur of Oliver and Brian Lobb of Osoyoos were the recipients from the South Okanagan. From the Similkameen, Charles Finch was awarded posthumously, his award received by surviving wife Hildred. Finch, who passed away last year, flew bomber missions during World War II, returning to the Similkameen to perform a lifetime of service to his community in numerous ways. “After hearing all that, you would think he was never at home,” commented Hildred wry-

Beryl Wallace of Hedley was another recipient from the Similkameen. She was recognized for her community work in Hedley, making improvements to the OAPO hall, hosting many community dinners and acting as president of the Hedley seniors organization. Salana Allison of Princeton was the third Similkameen recipient. Atamanenko spoke of her environmental activism and her work to keep Princeton Hospital viable as part of her efforts to make the community a better place. T h e aw a r d s c e r e m o ny was well attended by Similkameen politicians Area “G” Director Angelique Wood and Area “H” Director Brad Hope.

Review going to Ma Murray newspaper awards By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The Review has been nominated for a Ma Murray Community Newspaper award for the second year in a row. The Ma Murray awards celebrate excellence amongst the organization’s member newspapers in B.C. and the Yukon, recognizing all aspects of the newspaper industry The Review’s news team of Tammy Sparkes and Steve Arstad was selected as a finalist in the sports photo, under 25,000 category this year for a photo taken at the Keremeos Elks Rodeo in May last year. The Review placed third in the Investigative Journalism category last year for a series of articles that described issues facing migrant Mexican workers in the Similka-
meen valley. This year’s nomination marks the fourth time the Review has been to the Ma Murray awards. The Penticton Western, another local Black Press newspaper, was also selected in two categories.

RDOS directors hear about Healthy Living initiatives at recent board meeting Dr. Gerry Karr of the Healthy Living Society addressed the regional district board to describe the work of the Healthy Living Coalition at the Feb. 21 board meeting Karr pointed out the differences between the Healthy Living Coaliton and the Healthy Living Society, entities formed to promote healthy habits in the region’s communities. The Healthy Living Society was origi-
nally conceived to found the Healthy Living Fair, but after the creation of the Healthy Living Coalition, the society will use its charitable status to help the coalition, which is a vehicle of implementation for the Healthy Communities Initiative. “The society could work itself out of a job,” Karr predicted, noting that right now the society was important as a fund raising tool. Karr reported that the coalition’s prog-
health health
ress between January and March had been to define the coalition’s mission statement and values, organize the structure and governance of the coalition and to conduct an environmental scan as one aspect of a full community baseline profile, with the ultimate goal of making the Okanagan Similkameen the healthiest region in B.C. The RDOS agreed to partner with Interior Health’s Healthy Community Initiative by joining the coalition.

Continued research needed to find asteroids capable of making a cosmic impact
It was about 9:20 a.m. on a typical Friday morning in the industrial city of Chelyabinsk, Russia. February 15 was shaping up to be an ordinary working day. But then things changed dramatically. Thanks to many video cameras being in use at the time, what followed must
easily have been the most comprehensively recorded meteor impact in history. The recordings show a glowing, moving dot appearing in the predawn sky. The dot brightened and started to leave a glowing trail. It got brighter and brighter, and the trail got longer. Finally the glare became brighter than the Sun, dazzling the cameras and onlookers, then, as it faded and finally disappeared below the horizon, a long, complicated trail became visible. Soon after, a series of explosions damaged buildings,
blew out windows and sent over 1,000 people to hospital. The amazing videos of the event showed the arrival of a larger-than-usual lump of cosmic debris. NASA estimates at the time of writing suggest the body weighed about 10,000 tonnes, was roughly 10 m across and moving at about 20 km/sec. This makes it the largest object known to have hit the Earth since 1908, when something came into the atmosphere over Tunguska, Siberia and exploded, releasing an amount of energy equivalent to about 30 million

tonnes (Megatons) of TNT. Trees were flattened for many kilometres and the blast rattled glasses in Paris. If this explosion had happened over a densely populated area, the disaster would have been indescribable. There was another meteoric impact in 1947, also in Russia, which was smaller than the 15 February event. An object weighing 10,000 tonnes and moving at 20km/ sec possesses a lot of kinetic energy, roughly equal to the energy released in the explosion of 500,000 tonnes (500 kilotons) of TNT – 20 times the power of the Hi-
roshima bomb. All of this has to be released on the way to the ground or on impact. Fo r a n o b j e c t moving that fast, more than 50 times the speed of sound, the atmosphere would have seemed almost solid. Pushing through it produced enormous temperatures, up to 10,000 degrees, and generated huge shock waves. Eventually the heat and rapid deceleration were too much, and the object exploded. It was these shock waves and explosions that caused the damage and injuries. It could have been
$5,000. - Sewer operating costs were below budget by $21,000. Chief Financial Officer Rob Hagar attributed the lower operating costs to reduced activity within the village last year, which affected wages and work loads in parks and at the cemetery. Sewer costs were reduced through wages savings and fewer lab tests. A short discussion on budget supluses resulted in the assertion that 10 to 15 per cent annual surpluses
worse. This cosmic visitor came into the atmosphere at a shallow angle, so that most of its energy was lost before its fragments reached the ground. If it had come in more steeply, more of the energy would have been released at ground level or as a low-altitude, nearly 500 kiloton explosion. That would have been catastrophic. We are getting better at spotting objects passing close to the Earth, such as Asteroid 2012 DA14, which passed us by at a safe distance of 28,000 kilometres the same day. However we are a long way
from detecting bodies 10m or so in diameter before they bore into the atmosphere, causing the drama that happened in the skies over Russia on Friday. It’s not clear we will be able to prevent them from hitting us any time in the foreseeable future. Jupiter is high in the south after dark, moving into the west by midnight. Saturn rises around 11p.m. The Moon will reach last quarter on the 4th. Ken Tapping is an astronomer with the National Research Council’s Dominion Radio Astro-physical Observatory, Penticton.
created a comfortable contingency fund for most municipalities. Surpluses generally go to reserves to help minimize future tax burdens. At the end of fiscal 2012, Keremeos should have an operating surplus of seven per cent, or $102,000. Council was also updated on the 2013 Citizen Survey. Village business for the evening ended with the adoption of the municipal ticket information bylaw, and a closed session of council.

The cost of missing the RRSP deadline Yes, it’s true that investments held within a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is the best tax-deferred, income-building way for most Canadians to save for retirement. It is similarly true that missing the RRSP deadline for making your maximum 2012 contribution can be very costly. • If you are in a high income bracket this year but will have a lower marginal tax rate in a future year, your tax benefit from that future RRSP contribution will also be lower. • The additional tax refund you didn’t get because you didn’t contribute this year is not available to make investments or pay down non-deductible debt. On the other hand, if you do make your max RRSP contribution and do get an additional refund, you should consider investments appropriate to your diversification requirements and tolerance for risk, rather than depositing your refund into a savings account. • The government does not allow you to make RRSP contributions after the end of the year that you turn age 71. So, if you (or your spouse) are turning 71 in 2013, you should consider making an RRSP contribution by December 31st, 2013, or you’ll lose that tax-saving opportunity. • If you are making a contribution to a spousal RRSP, do it before December 31st each year to reduce the time before it can be withdrawn. Under ‘attribution rules’, a contribution to a spousal RRSP must stay in the RRSP for three calendar years before it is withdrawn, or the withdrawal will be attributed back to the contributor. • If you are claiming a spousal RRSP deduction for a deceased spouse or com-
MANAGING Your Money mon law partner, the contribution to the spousal RRSP must be made in the year of death or during the first sixty days after the end of that year or the opportunity for this deduction will be lost. The deadline for making RRSP contributions for the 2012 tax year is March 1st, 2013.
