The South Okanagan Similkameen chapter of the United Way reports that perpetrators are going door to door in the Shuswap and Vernon areas asking for donations for the United Way. The funds are being collected using handheld debit machines and donors are sometimes being offered Tim Horton’s gift cards as a “reward” for donating. Although there are no reports of this happening in the South Okanagan and Similkameen,the United Way in our region wants to remind the public that it does not canvass door to door. Nor do we do not offer rewards to donors or use hand held card readers. If you are approached to give at your door please decline and contact the RCMP immediately. If you have been victimized please contact your bank to report the transactions and contact your local RCMP at the following non-emergency numbers: Penticton Kaleden and Okanagan Falls: 250-492-4300 Oliver: 250-498-3433 and Osoyoos: 250-495 7236.

SESS breaks new ground with aboriginal studies
Similkameen Elementary Secondary School first in the district to offer First Nations course By Steve Arstad The Review
Similkameen Elementary Secondary School is breaking new ground this year with the introduction of a course that will introduce students to history from a First Nations perspective. SESS is the first school in District 53 to offer a history course that is based on First Nations’ point of view. The program is offered to students in lieu of Social Studies 11, and will be largely project based, with class activity involving field trips and speakers coming into the school from the Lower Similkameen Indian Band. The
course follows a provincial cirriculum and has a final exam. Twenty-five students are enrolled in the course this year. The new course complements the Okanagan Language course that is now in its second year at SESS. “Twenty-five per cent of the students in this school have aboriginal ancestry,” explained SESS Principal Marcus Toneato. “To not have something related to their culture in the school cirriculum would not be representing that group, so these programs are important. Aboriginal programs have come a long way at SESS - three years ago there wasn’t a single program offered.” The Okanagan Language program is showing increased popularity amongst the student body this year as enrolment numbers are up from eight last year to 20 this year. The program is offered to high school students
from grades eight to 12, and teaches the basics of the Okanagan language. Amber Eustache, a First Nations instructor who is fluent in the Paul Creek language, teaches the course. First Nations Studies 12 focusses on the diversity, depth and integrity of the cultures of B.C. aboriginal people. Designed to introduce authentic aboriginal content into the curriculum with the support of aboriginal people, the course provides an opportunity for B.C. students to acquire knowledge and understanding of the traditions, history and present realities of First Nations peoples, as well as a chance to consider future challenges and opportunities. Having aboriginal content in the school curriculum can also contribute to an enlightened discussion of aboriginal issues as well as giving aboriginal students a sense of place and belonging in the public school system.
Public input sought for invasive species plan Following on a commitment to crack down on invasive species, such as the snakehead fish, the B.C. government has released a series of policy intentions for public comment. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Ministry of Environment A paper summarizing the B.C. government’s policy intention to amend the Controlled Alien Species Regulation has been released, and the public are invited to share their feedback until Oct. 24. The proposed amendments will help prevent the introduction of aquatic invasive species that present a significant risk to B.C.’s fish and
wildlife resources. Main measures include: * Significantly reducing the possibility of high-risk aquatic species - including the snakehead fish - becoming established in local waters, by prohibiting the possession, breeding, release or transportation of these species. * Combating the introduction of dangerous organisms such as the zebra and quagga mussels that ‘hitchhike’ on boats, by requiring that no invasive mussel, alive or dead, be present on boats or related equipment. Other changes being recommended include: * Adding definitions for “accredited zoo or aquarium,” “certified education institution” and “certified research institution” to create clarity on standards, and allow exemptions to apply for strict educational or scientific purposes. * Clarifying which species of monitor lizard are prohibited; typically those that grow over two metres in length or that otherwise create a significant threat to public safety.

Orofino gets a little greener Contributed Orofino Vineyards will receive $16,766 to help complete an energy efficiency project as part of the LiveSmart Small Business Champion program. The provincial government is providing a total of $269,415 to 13 small businesses across B.C. for energy efficiency upgrades. Project details: · Orofino Vineyards has a straw-bale tasting room at their facility and want to make the building run on 100 per cent renewable energy resources. · The proposal requires conversion from traditional power sources to a system of solar photovoltaic panels and a solar thermal water heating system. · This system will reduce the energy consumption of the building by up to 100 per cent.
· The system would produce electricity and at the same time, heat the domestic hot water. Why this matters: · Each project demonstrates innovative energy-efficiency opportunities and/or energy savings of at least 20 per cent above current consumption. · The LiveSmart Small Business Champion applications were evaluated on project feasibility, energy and cost savings, innovation and their benefit and value to other companies and the community. · To help encourage energy efficiency upgrades in the business community, these small business champions will share their project ideas with their local community and businesses, so others can learn from their experience and leadership. · These champions will also be featured on the LiveSmart BC website for the benefit of other small businesses throughout British Columbia.
Obsolete pesticide collection campaign comes to the Okanagan region Contributed CNW Group Farmers in the Interior, Kootenay and Okanagan regions of British Columbia can safely and responsibly dispose of their unwanted or obsolete agricultural pesticides through a new collection program being offered this fall. CleanFARMS, an industry-led national not-for-profit agricultural waste management organization, is heading the collection campaign, which will take place at a number of sites on various dates ranging from October 15 to November 1. A successful collection was held earlier this summer in the Peace Region, which is part of a two-year program covering the entire province. “This program offers farmers the chance to responsibly dispose of their unwanted or obsolete agricultural pesticides free of charge. It’s good for farmers and it’s good for the environment,” says Barry Friesen, general manager of CleanFARMS. British Columbia farmers have demonstrated their commitment to good environmental stewardship over the years. Since 1998 they’ve returned more than 226,000 kilograms of obsolete pesticides in the province. After collection, the pesticides are taken to
a licensed waste management facility where they are disposed of through high temperature incineration. Co-funders of the program, the BC Agriculture Council (BCAC), through the Agriculture Environment and Wildlife Fund of the BC Investment Agriculture Foundation, welcomed the opportunity to participate in this initiative. “We’re pleased to support and be part of this program as it offers a tremendous service to farmers and plays an important role in protecting the environment for all British Columbians,” says Greg Norton, Chair of the BCAC Agriculture Environment Initiatives Management Committee. Farmers are invited to return all of their obsolete or unwanted agricultural pesticides in a secure container with the label attached. This program is strictly for agricultural pesticides; adjuvents, treated seed, paint, solvents and domestic pesticides will not be accepted. Collections will take place at the following location on the date noted: Okanagan Region Oct. 26 - Oliver - Growers Supply Company Ltd., 5911 Sawmill Rd.

T.O.P.S.
Canadian Chopper owner Daryl Letkeman is happy with his new base for his motorcycle parts and accessory business in Keremeos. He has found that his largely mail order business has not been adversely affected by the move from Richmond, and the Similkameen lifestyle much more to his liking than the bustle of the Lower Mainland.

Canadian Chopper celebrates 40 years of business Former Richmond based business finds a new home on Keremeos Seventh Avenue By Steve Arstad The Review Canadian Chopper will be celebrating 40 years in business in early November this year. Daryl Letkeman was one of the business’ best customers in the early years, when it was owned by Bill Hume, who operated out of a storefront on Bridgeport Road in Richmond. Incorporated in 1972, Hume’s
original business involved selling extension fork tubes for Honda, Harley, and Kawasaki motorcycles, cashing in on the chopper craze of the day. Hume travelled the country selling tube extensions and other motorcycle pieces. In July of 1999, Letkeman decided to quit his role as number one customer buying the business and becoming its owner instead. He remained at the Bridgeport location until 2005 before moving to a spot on Cedar Bridge Way, where he remained for five years. The mail order portion of the business had been growing steadily, and by 2010 Letkeman realized he no longer needed to be in Richmond - at least not to run a successful business.
He and wife Sandy Taylor moved to Keremeos, relocating the business to 604 - 7th Avenue where Sandy also ran the Greyhound bus depot until earlier this summer. Letkeman now sells at both the wholesale and retail levels, to other shops and customers across Canada. Loyal customers have also followed him to Keremeos, where, after two years, he feels the move was a step in the right direction. “It was slower last year than Richmond,” he admitted, “but everyone was slow last year. This year has been better. It’s been a positive move - for business and other reasons,” he told the Review, “I can tell you that I’m not moving back.”
Campaign for culture pushes for review of event licensing Excessive costs cited over bid to reform the issuance of Special Occasion Licenses Contributed Recently, the Campaign for Culture focussed on Special Occasion Licenses (SOLs) granted to events and festivals. The permit process for individuals and organizations who need SOLs to hold events where alcohol is being served is unnecessarily costly. Events, such as festivals or concerts, are not given the same freedoms as other licensed establishments like bars or restaurants. The issues surrounding Special Occasion Licenses and festivals include the exemption process for SOLs,
which is costly and unnecessary. Additionally, outdoor events such as festivals are not given the same freedoms as other licensed establishments, especially when we think about the types of alcohol that can be served as well as where they can be consumed. All traditionally licensed establishments can offer various prices and choices on products being sold, but licensed events are not offered the same flexibility. Event organizers and attendees are being heavily and unnecessarily restricted. The following changes need to be made to the SOL process to fix it:
• The exemption process needs to be eliminated - all current exemptions should be offered to all special events at all times • Outdoor events should be given the same flexibility as indoor events and the freedoms enjoyed by
licensed establishments. • All SOLs should be allowed greater flexibility in price setting and the types of alcohol that can be served.

The Review Publisher: Mark Walker 605 7th Ave,Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0
Editorial Bylaw change could be tough to bear The regional district board of directors discussed the possibility of extending a bylaw currently in place in Electoral Area “E” to Areas “D” and “F” at the October 4 Environmental Committee meeting. The bylaw would limit residents to placing their garbage at curbside only after 5 a.m. on the day of pick up - an edict that will probably not be too popular with many residents of the electoral areas affected. The board is contemplating such a change on the evidence presented by Bear Aware coordinator Zoe Kirk, who claims that nuisance bear shootings are down from seven in 2010 to one last year. Based on this evidence, it would appear that the bylaw does help to ease bear - human interaction, but at the same time it will represent an additional inconvenience for residents - especially seniors. In a survey of Kaleden, Kirk found that 17 per cent of residents curbed their garbage the night before. Obviously, there is a reason for this - most people have more time in the evening, and many retirees, after a lifetime of work, it allows the opportunity to be a little late arising in the morning. Residents who are on the early part of the pick up route, may have to set their alarm clocks prior to sunrise in order to get their trash to the curb on time. If the regional district determines this is the way they wish to go, a possible solution to the problem facing forced early risers might be to offer low cost bear proof garbage receptacles to local residents. Perhaps an RDOS sponsored mass purchase could help bring the price down. A bear proof container would allow residents the opportunity to place their garbage the night before -for if nothing else, it might spare the garbage man the wrath of an ornery resident who’s morning was rushed or spoiled by a frantic need to curb the week’s waste.

It was a sunny Thanksgiving weekend when I took my first all-transit trip from Victoria to Vancouver for a B.C. Lions football game. Despite all the doomsaying about people shunning ferries because of some media-determined “tipping point”in fares, you wouldn’t have guessed it that weekend. Articulated buses were jammed coming and going from the Tsawwassen terminal to the Canada Line. Returning to Vancouver Island on Sunday, I was struck by the crowds, and the low cost: SkyTrain, express bus, walk-on passenger fare and express bus to Victoria totalled about $20. This explains the surge in walk-on traffic. BC Ferries issued bulletins advising first that Tsawwassen’s parking lot and then Swartz Bay’s were full. The Tsawwassen First Nation’s shuttle parking next
door was overflowing, with cars tucked into every level space. And even with hourly sailings, the major route had plenty of vehicle traffic, with all available vessels running. Now the long, late summer is gone, and the political theatre resumes. Transportation Minister Mary Polak picked up where the retiring Blair Lekstrom left off, reminding people that BC Ferries is going to deal with rising costs primarily by ceasing the practice of running vessels a third full or less. This comes as “consultation” begins with smaller ferry communities on where and when these sailings will be cut. And it follows the first major price-cap decision by the newly empowered B.C. Ferry Commissioner, Gord Macatee. He now can determine service levels as well as fares, which are permitted to rise about four per cent in each of the next three years. The NDP’s ferry critic, North Coast MLA Garry Coons, has also decided to transition to his govern-
ment pensions next year. But before he sails away, he has doubled his repertoire of outraged sound bites to two. Along with every coffeeshop know-it-all on the coast, Coons perpetually reminds us that ferries are “part of our highway system.”He remains convinced that this financially illiterate cliché somehow deals with the fact that even a subsidy approaching $200 million this year can’t keep all those boats afloat forever. A family of four on a long driving trip faces similar price increases, when you factor in tolls, insurance, food and other costs beyond the fuel tank. But for some reason the “government” is supposed to provide special relief to those who choose the most inaccessible places to live. Coons’ latest tack is that BC Ferries has lost its way, trying to be a fancy cruise ship service instead of giving people basic transportation at an affordable price. That would be terrible if it were true. But those amenities on newer ves-
sels are there because they make money, utilizing staff who have to be on board anyway. As everyone but the NDP seems to grasp, the big costs are fuel, maintenance, and minimum crew levels to meet federal regulations, regardless of passenger revenue. I was reminded on the last busy weekend of the year that the new Coastal-class ferries kept vehicle capacity the same while increasing passenger space. This choice anticipated today’s travel reality nearly a decade ago. Good thing somebody was able to understand ferries as a business, as opposed to a welfare program for the reclusive and the rich. BC Ferries has already cut sailings on the Tsawwassen-Duke point route. As described in an earlier column, this needlessly long run is the biggest boondoggle in BC Ferries history, a Dave Barrett-era payoff to the union that continues today. Changes will now come to other routes that minimize shifts and overtime, rather than inflating them.

Settlement reached in Infocentre dispute To the Editor: On Thursday, October 4, an amicable conclusion was reached in a dispute between the Corporation of the Village of Keremeos and Frank Kennedy Home Improvements, the contractor for the Info Centre in Keremeos. A letter of apology to the contractor read as follows: Dear Mr. Kennedy: I regret that relations between us went awry during the construction of the Information
Centre building in Keremeos. It is very unfortunate that this dispute arose between you, me and the Village of Keremeos. I am sorry if there were any misunderstandings regarding this matter. I hope that if we have dealings in the future that relations between us will be entirely professional. Sincerely, Joni Heinrich Flo Winfrey, Olalla

Citizen is displeased with police behaviour To the Editor: We were driving down Main Street in Penticton on Monday, October 8 at about 10:30 p.m. We were in my son’s Chev 4x4, big tires, a little loud - it’s a diesel. We were going the speed limit. The RCMP had pulled someone else over. I watched the police officer stare at my son as we went by. Being almost 60, I knew what was going to happen. Sure enough, they raced up to us, lights blazing. They snuck up flashlights on, hands on guns. They saw my young son, 22 years old, shone the light on my face and realized I wasn’t another young person but some old guy. You could see in his face he was disappointed, but my 42 year old step son was in the back seat. The back windows and back side windows have dark tint. You cannot see in. I asked why they had stopped us. The officer said, “Your son has an ‘N’ on the back with three people in the car.” He could not see my step son in the back until he was up to the driver’s door, which means he lied. They then started to look for anything they could find wrong with my son’s truck. They made him roll up the driver’s window to look for tint on the glass; there was none. Checked
his windshield but it was new. All three of us don’t drink, so we were all sober. They took our I.D.’s, checked for warrants, and finally let us get out of the truck after a half hour. I do not have a problem with the police doing their job. My problem is with his attitude. He was rude, short tempered, condescending, and arrogant. He seemed upset with something. My description was that he had a chip on his shoulder. He just seemed mad and angry. I will remind the RCMP that your job is to uphold the laws of Canada and keep the peace, not to rule over us. Why is it when things happen it’s always the police’s version of events until a video shows and exposes the truth? I thought in Canada we were innocent until proven guilty by a court of law. Not “guilty” until the police decide we are innocent. It’s too bad because now when I see a police car, I don’t see help or good. I see the face of the young, angry RCMP officer. It’s true a few bad apples can ruin the whole barrel. Pat Sanderson, Cawston
Local generosity making food bank possible To the Editor: It’s time once again to say a heartfelt “thank you” to all the wonderful supporters of the food bank. At this time I would like to note the contributions of Shannon Forner of Valu Plus as well as those of Sharon Finch of V&S Variety. Both ladies’ initiatives raised a substantial amount of food for the food bank in September, when we could not open due to a shortage of food. The supplies provided by Shannon and Sharon will certainly help in the next while.
Valley First Credit Union also provided much support to the food bank, through their organization. The shopping cart competitioin is still ongoing - please continue to fill it, as it is a huge help to us - and of course the food bank account where one can deposit a “spare” five or 10 dollar bill. Tax receipts for this will be issued at income tax time. An extended thanks to everyone for their continuing support. We can’t do this without you. Ingrid Percival, Cawston Food Bank

New webcams, new features enhance DriveBC website Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure As recent snow flurries in mountain passes remind us that winter weather will soon be here, the government of B.C. has activated another 18 new highway webcams, and has upgraded the Route Planner feature on its DriveBC website to provide motorists with additional tools to plan their trip and travel safe. A total of 30 new webcams are being added to the network this year, bringing the number of webcam images available on DriveBC to over 250. All are expected to be installed and operating by winter, giving motorists a real-time view of weather and road conditions. Webcams are just one tool to help you
plan your journey. DriveBC also features a Route Planner, which has been upgraded to take into consideration any delays, road closures and border waits along the way. In addition to showing them as icons on the map, the turn-by- turn directions will include the information on any highway message signs associated with that route, and webcam images to give you a full picture. There are mobile (tablet and smart phone) versions of DriveBC’s Route Planner, too. They provide the same information in the turn-by-turn directions as you’d see on a desktop, and use geo-location to fill in your start point. However, the map has not been included for smart phones due to their display limitations.

Changes to curbside bylaw discussed Committee asked to look at extending a Naramata bylaw that would prohibit early placement of curbside garbage in Areas “D” and “F”. By Steve Arstad The Review Bear Aware Community Coordinator ZoeKirk and Conservation Officer Service inspector Barb Leslie made a presentation to the Environment and Infrastructure Committee at the regional district board room on October 4. The two women appeared before the committee to advocate amendments to the solid waste collection and drop off regulation bylaw that would see Areas “D” and “F” adopt a policy similar to one implemented in Area “E” (Naramata) last year. Since the implementation of “Bear Aware” provisions in Electoral Area “E” the number of nusiance bears killed in the area have been reduced dramatically, Kirk told the committee. “Prior to 2010, six to seven bears were killed annually in Naramata,” said Kirk “ since the bylaw came into effect, the mortality rate has been reduced to one bear in the past two years.” Naramata is also moving towards “Bear Smart” status, Kirk added, noting that four of six required steps had already been completed in the community. Naramata’s two remaining steps left to complete are; - to implement planning decisions that are consistent with bear smart management plans. -to implement bear smart bylaws. “We would like to take what we’ve done in Area “E” and apply it to “D” and “F”,” Kirk told the board. In audits performed in Kaleden, a community known for its bear issues, Kirk counted 78 and 79 garbage cans placed at curbside the night before pick up in two separate audits. “There are 446 homes in Kaleden, which represents a 17 per cent total of early curbsters,” she explained to the board. Twin Lakes area is being looked at as well and will be discussed this fall, she added. Kirk also cited the benefits of an amended bylaw noting such things as: - low cost / benefit ratio - a reduced potential for bear and human conflict - bylaw builds awareness - it would promote safer communities - it would reduce litter and garbage “There is the potential for the RDOS to go Bear Smart very easily,” added Inspector Leslie. Having been in the region, transferred out for a few years and then returning, Leslie observed that the region had come a long way in terms of understanding wildlife conflict issues. “I hope the board will consider these bylaws,” she said, “by doing so, we will be promoting co-existence.” Naramata Director Karla Kozackevich described her constituents “love - hate” relationship with Kirk, due to the fact that many people take exception to legislation that prohibits them from placing their garbage at curbside the night before. Summerland Director Janice Perrino questioned Kirk about backyard ponds and bird feeders, who commented that both contributed to bear problems when used in seasons other than winter. Oliver rural Director Allan Patton perceived a conflict with the legislation with farm workers, who would be unlikely to purchase bear proof containers for all their waste fruit. Kirk replied that a grant had been applied for that would allow her to write a best practises manual. A r e a ” D ” D i r e c t o r To m S i d d o n e x p r e s s s e d a n e e d t o g i v e u r g e n c y t o d e e r c o n t r o l i s s u e s. “We have to manage the real life concerns of our constituents,” he said, “we have to give higher priority to this problem and educate the public about what needs to be done in time for action next year. We’ve got to start moving on it.” The amended bylaw would only allow residents to place garbage at curbside after 5 a.m. of the day of pick up. The committee endorsed a motion to instruct staff to prepare amendments to the existing solid waste collection and drop off service bylaw for Areas “D” and “F”.

Flow through shares offer investor tax benefits while providing money for mining exploration Contributed Mining is one of British Columbia’s most important industries and the provincial government is actively supporting its expansion. The Province is taking steps to streamline regulation, accelerate permitting and improve the investment climate, with key changes specifically designed to increase mineral exploration and mining in the province. Leading the way is the 20 per cent flow-through share tax credit, introduced in July, 2001. Super Flow-through Shares: A unique tax shelter Super Flow-Through Shares have become increasingly popular among sophisticated investors seeking to minimize their taxes. They remain one of the few legitimate tax shelters available to Canadians and offer investors a tax deduction of up to 150 per cent (depending on what province you are from) of their initial investment. Flow-through shares are approved by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and are an ideal investment for (a) high net worth or high income individuals, (b) those who wish to withdraw funds from RRSP/RRIFs in a tax-effective manner, or (c) anyone faced with a high current or past tax bill (including corporations). What are Super “Flow-Through” Shares ( SFTS ): SFTS are common shares issued by Canadian
resource companies on a “flow-through” basis. They have the same characteristics as other common shares of the companies that offer them, with one important difference: their issue proceeds must be spent on the exploration (CEE)…basically 100 per cent of all money raised through flow-through must be spent on the property. How do they work? And what are the benefits for you? Flow-through shares are issued by resource-based companies that are involved in the exploration and development of Canadian natural resources. In order to promote the development of the sector, the Federal Government provides significant tax incentives to investors who purchase the flow-through shares of the resource-based companies. The program has been available since the 1950s and has stood the test of time. It is right in the Tax Act. Investors may therefore deduct the cost of flowthrough shares from taxable income, which reduces their “capital at risk” by the resulting tax savings. If fully taken, the deductions reduce the initial investors cost base of the shares for tax purposes to zero, and their sale proceeds are therefore taxed as capital gains, effectively converting taxable income to capital gains which is taxable at 50 per cent of the investors marginal tax rate (please see below example
for British Columbia). If you invested $1000 in flow-through shares: Amount of Invest: $1,000.00 Less: tax benefit of deduction of flow-through shares – federal ($290) Less: tax benefit of deduction of flow-through shares – provincial ($147) Less: 15 per cent non-refundable federal investment tax credit ($105) Less: 30 per cent non-refundable provincial tax credit ($300) Add: Income Tax on inclusion of federal tax credit: $46 Add: Income Tax on inclusion of Provincial tax credit: $131 Net Cost of $1,000 investment in flow-through shares $335.

Kaleden Elementary students practiced escaping a smoky environment during Fire Safety week activities at the school.
The Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department promoted Fire Prevention week at Kaleden Elementary School last week. The children learned some important skills to use should they be faced with fire. The students learned the stop, cover your face, drop and roll routine; to stay low and crawl when in a smoke filled room; to trust a fire fighter, they are there to help; and to always plan to have two ways out of a building.
Sixteen volunteers came out to help make Apple Day 2012 a success. There were over 40 varieties of apples on display, among them England’s 16th Century Calville Blanc, England’s 1700 Ashmead’s Kernel, New Jersey’s 1700’s Golden Russet, the French Margil of the 1750’s, West Virginia’s 1790 Grimes Golden, England’s 1825 Cox’s Orange Pippin, Ontario’s 1811 McIntosh and Holland’s 1856 Belle de Boskoop. Lena Tossca guessed that there were 432 apples in the mystery barrel. She was closest to the true 435 and won a litre of organic Quebec Maple Syrup. The Apple Pie Contest Winners were: first - Kabrina Byrne, second - Josee Anne Nelson, third - Cindy Horrocks. Traditional music on traditional instruments were a part of the Apple Day fun at Keremeos Grist Mill and Gardens on Thanksgiving Sunday. Photos contributed

Spectacular show ends racing season Contributed by Shana Cachola The Wine Country Racing (WCRA) finished off the 2012 season with warm weather, smoking tires, screaming engines and excited fans. The Okanagan Car Club Challenge brought in many some-time racers, as well as the die-hard drag cars that show at every event. 65 cars lined up in pairs to treat the fans to 231 individual races. Winners of the various brackets follow: Sportsman Bracket winner Brandon Warren, of Newport, Washington, drove his beautiful burgandy 1966 GTO defeating Osoyoos’ Glenn Taylor in his black, 1951 Mercury pick-up. In the Pro Bracket our winner was another racer all the way from Newport, Washington. Dean Holder raced away with the win in his 1980 Buick Regal. He defeated Doug Blatchford, of Oliver, racing his 1969 Chevelle called the Red Sonja. The Pro Bracket Fast division victor was Pete Tovani, of Vernon, driving his blue, Spitzer Dragster. Tovani beat Penticton’s Dean Book in his white, 1980 Monte Carlo.
The Bike Sled final was won, once again, by Oliver’s Warren Brown on his green Kawasaki motorcycle. Brown raced for his fourth winner’s trophy this season against David Lee Madson, of Summerland, on his black 2003 Arctic Cat snowmobile. The bragging rights for this third annual Okanagan Car Club Challenge go to Ian Haryett of Red Deer, Alberta. Haryett and his black 1955 Buick convertible are members of the Kelowna Kustoms car club. The second place trophy went to Oliver’s Cliff Meeds, driving his wine coloured 1949 Ford pick-up, on behalf of the Coachmasters Car Club. The fastest reaction time of the day was awarded to Glenn Taylor of Osoyoos. Taylor nailed an absolutely perfect .500 start light for himself. The 2012 Ron Tasker Memorial Sportsmanship trophy was awarded to Dean Book of Penticton. Now the time has come to store race cars away for the winter and give the volunteers some much deserved time off. Keep a look out in May for the date for the first 2013 race. In the mean time you can keep looking at the pictures from past events on www.winecountryracing.ca.

The stars of autumn
After the short nights of summer, with the Sun only a few degrees below the horizon during the night, the skies of autumn come as a bit of surprise. Suddenly the nights are longer, darker and clearer. Low in the west in the early evening is the bright, golden star Arcturus. This star is visible in the east in late winter evenings, and is a herald of coming spring. Now, half a year later, and the Earth halfway around the Sun, we see it in the
western sky. It will set earlier and earlier every night until it disappears, to return in the eastern sky next spring. However, at this time of year the dominant feature of a dark, clear sky is the Milky Way, which crosses the heavens like a great arch from the northeastern horizon and down into the southwest, broadening as it goes. A pair of binoculars will show it to be made of countless stars. In some places there are dark gaps, where clouds of cold gas and dust block out the light of the stars. In other places, especially down towards the southern end of the Milky Way, there are little silvery or pinkish blobs. This is where new stars have been born and their ultraviolet radiation is making the surrounding cloud glow.
Almost overhead is the fairly bright s t a r D e n e b, t h e brightest star in the constellation of Cygnus, “The Swan”, flying along the Milky Way. Westward, still high in the sky, you’ll see Vega, brighter than Deneb. Vega is the brightest star in Lyra “The Lyre”. Draw a line southward from the middle of the line joining Deneb and Vega, and you’ll arrive at Altair, in the constellation of Aquila “The Eagle”. These three stars make up the “Summer Triangle”, which is best visible - of course - in the autumn. Vega might look brighter, but actually Deneb is radiating far more heat and light. It is about 200,000 times more luminous than the Sun, but much further away. Our Sun will manage to sustain its energy output for about eight
billion years. Since Deneb is only about 20 times more massive than the Sun, but radiating 200,000 times the amount of heat and light, it will last only a fraction of that time. Vega is high in the sky in summer evenings, but now it is moving down in the west, making room for Capella, which will take its place in the winter. These evenings Capella lies in the northeast, but it’s getting higher in the sky every night. Low in the southeast glimmers Fomalhaut, the brightest star in the constellation of Piscis Austrinus, “The Southern Fish”. This is the southernmost bright star visible from our latitudes, and is the “Herald of Autumn”. However, this year, the biggest evening light show is the planet Jupiter, which rises over the eastern hills around 9 p.m. It is the brightest ob-
ject in the sky other than the Moon, until around 4 a.m., when Venus rises. Venus is utterly unmissable. In the eastern sky there is a little silvery patch of stars. This is the Pleiades star cluster, and looks like a necklace dropped by a careless goddess. Binoculars will show it to be a cluster of hundreds of bluish stars - all siblings from the same birth cloud. In the late evening, scan to the right (south) from the Pleiades, and youíll find a bright, red star. This is Aldebaran, the angry eye of Taurus the Bull, one of the main winter constellations. Winter is coming. The Moon will reach first quarter on the 21st. Ken Tapping is an astronomer with the National Research Council’s Dominion Radio Astro-physical Observatory, Penticton.

Keremeos RCMP detachment commander delivers quarterly report at regular meeting of council By Steve Arstad The Review Corporal Mike Gallagher, Keremeos RCMP Detachment C o m m a n d e r, a d dressed council with respect to the second quarter report on policing at the October 9 meeting of council. Gallagher told council that crime stats were mostly down in the second quarter with nothing major transpiring during that time. A couple of fights over the quarter and a slight increase in vehicle theft drove up assault statistics somewhat, but overall, the crime picture was improved over the same period last year. Crime Stoppers tips have led to $2,095 worth of property recovered and $50,500 worth of drugs seized in the past 10 months, Gallagher added. A planned bike patrol in the community was delayed due to a uniform shortage.
Council agreed to a request to proclaim November 18 to 25 as “Restorative Justice Week” in addition to prclaiming February of 2013 to be “Heart Month”. Council also endorsed a recommendation to support an increase to the Persons with Disabilities rate to better reflect the cost of living in B.C. The increase sought would bring the rates in line with the standard for low income seniors that was established by the federal old age security / guaranteed income supplement program. Finally, council also took the “Hello Pledge” as a step towards strengthening social connectedness in the community. Greyhound Canada is once again seeking to reduce service levels through the Similkameen, with an application before the province to reduce the minimum route frequency between

Rock Creek and Vancouver.Council voted in favour of a motion to have staff write a letter to Greyhound to express concerns over the proposed service reduction. Mayor and council reports included a summary of Union of BC Municipalities convention activities
by Mayor Bauer and Councillor Thielmann, while Councillor Cowling brought council up to date on some equipment breakdowns at the Similkameen Rec Centres’ bowling alley. Mayor Bauer noted that “Apple Day at the Grist Mill” at-
tendence and entries into the apple pie contest had declined over the previous year. Staff reports by Chief Administrative Officer Laurie Taylor indicated that the village’s new website should be in operation by mid November. The 2013 bud-
get process is getting underway, and the Official Community Plan draft should be forthcoming this week, with an open house for the public to come. The village is also working with the Keremeos Irrigation District to establish timelines for construction of the
proposed reservoir. Village business ended for the evening with a resolution to support a Federation of Canadian Municipalities recommendation to develop a new long term infrastructure funding plan between federal, provincial and municipal governments.

Culling ‘dangerous’ animals a humane practice Animals such as Canada Geese and deer, which are a threat to human life and livelihood, need to be culled By Gwyn Morgan Troy Media What is North America’s most dangerous animal? No, it’s not the mighty grizzly bear or the sly cougar. If you ask the passengers and crew who amazingly survived US Airways flight 1549, the Canada goose would be top of mind. Dubbed the “Miracle on the Hudson”, Pilot Chesley Sullenburger was forced to bring his plane down on the river in 2009 after a flock of the eightpound birds knocked out all its engines. A recent report by the U.S. Department of Transportation cites Canada geese population growth as a serious danger to air traffic. The fact that geese move in large and dense flocks makes catastrophic multiple engine failure more likely. The report lists other cases of serious damage to both civilian and military aircraft, stating that bird strikes are occurring at a rate five times higher that of 1990. Here in Canada, near disasters include a 2001 Porter Airways flight where a flock of geese damaged both propellers as it came in for a landing. Given this increasingly serious threat to air safety, it’s surprising that commercial air operators and airport authorities haven’t launched a major campaign aimed at culling the geese population. Air travel hazard isn’t the only reason that our namesake bird is increasingly reviled on both sides of the border. Parks and playgrounds littered with goose feces are both revolting and also a real health hazard, particularly to children. On the sandy beaches of Victoria’s beautiful Elk Lake,
the home of Canada’s Olympic champion rowers, “health hazard, no swimming signs” keep people out of the inviting summer waters. The geese have taken the lake away from the children, a situation repeated in parks and playgrounds across the country. Amazingly, for almost a century, Canada Geese have been protected by the U.S./ Canada Migratory Birds Convention. Even though Canadian Wildlife officials recognize that the birds cause “unacceptable damage and danger”, getting official permission to cull them is fraught with bureaucracy. And the limited wild wet-lands seasonal hunting that is allowed has no impact on nonmigrating urbanized residential populations. Canada geese aren’t the only problematic species that thrive among us. Deer populations have exploded in many parts of the country, including here on southern Vancouver Island. And, as in the case of geese, deer present both a safety and commercial threat. A just-published report by a Citizen Advisory Group, appointed by the Greater Victoria Regional District, listed some 12,000 deer/vehicle collisions over the past decade, resulting in 21 fatalities, 2,200 injuries and millions of dollars in damage. The report also cited increasingly frequent cases of injury to adults and children due to aggressive behaviour, as well the risk of disease transmission. This region is replete with small farms and market gardens growing a wide array of fruit and vegetables. Roadside produce stands along bucolic side roads are immensely popular with both tourists and locals. But alas, many farmers are losing so much of their crop to deer predation that their farms are no longer commercially viable. The Citizen Advisory Group recommends that “population control measures should be carried out, in the most humane manner possible”. This is music to
the ears of both farmers and deer-infested neighborhoods, yet there’s no assurance that common sense will weather the storm of protests from animal rights groups, including the so-called Earth-Animal Humane Education and Rescue Society which opposes what it terms “knee-jerk,
trigger-happy immediate gratification”; and the Animal Alliance of Canada which is calling for “non-lethal, ethical and environmentally sensitive (control) methods”. Just how exploding populations can be reduced by “non-lethal methods” is not articulated. Ironically, many of
these same activists tend to support the “100 Mile Diet” movement that considers locally produced food environmentally and nutritionally superior, while they simultaneously oppose the deer-culling measures needed to save local farmers from bankruptcy. Both the pro and
anti-cull camps state that the deer population should be reduced to “natural levels”. But human-dense regions are inherently “unnatural” since we either deter or actually destroy predators found in the wild. Almost every week, cougars that have entered residential areas to feast on the lethargic and abundant deer are
either tranquilized or shot. Likewise, traditional geese predators such as coyotes are discouraged or eliminated due to attacks on cats and dogs. The reality is that there’s only one predator that can control urbanized geese and deer populations. We need get on with that job, and soon.

It is your small business and you’ve worked hard to make it a success. But one day it won’t be yours. You’ll decide to step back and hand over day-to-day responsibilities to someone else, or a medical event may make the decision for you. That’s why you should put a succession plan in place that ensures your hopes for your business – like funding a comfortable retirement or leaving a legacy for your family – are realized. Here are some essential planning items to consider. Sell it? At some point, sell your business to the highest bidder. Or if you have co-owners, partners or other shareholders, have them buy you out. Be sure you have a buy-sell agreement in place. Speak to your lawyer about putting one in place before you are in a position that you want to sell your business. Alternatively, you could offer ownership to certain key employees. The most difficult task may be setting a value on your business. Keep it in the family? You’ll have to decide how to finance the transfer. The new owner could purchase an interest in the business but at what value? You might plan on leaving shares to a person, like one of your children, but have you considered if -there are enough other assets in your estate for other children? Do you need to increase your insurance coverage to provide that inheritance? Wind it down? If your knowledge and expertise is the biggest asset in your business, you may not be able to sell it unless your client list has some value. There are many different aspects to deal with when winding down a business, such as disposing of remaining inventory, giving notice to landlords, creditors and customers and, if your business is incorporated, decide whether to keep the corporation going for tax purposes or winding it up. Other things to consider: Assessing the tax liabilities of the sale to you, your family or estate; ensuring the growth on your business receives the most favourable tax treatment; considering capping the tax liability on your business through an estate freeze by transferring ownership and future growth of capital assets, usually to your children, now rather than after your death; or placing the business in a family trust that becomes a separate taxable entity and is not included in your estate.
