RDOS directors ponder revenue shortfall at Campbell Mountain landfill By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview. com The regional district board pondered a budget problem over the Campbell Mountain Landfill at the November 15 Environment and Infrastructure Committee meeting. The regional district is looking at a $250,000 deficit at the landfill this year. There are adequate reserves to handle the lack of funding this year, but the board would like to find a solution to the deficit in time for the 2013 budget. RDOS Public Wo r k s M a n a g e r Doug French described the landfill’s present operating hours as a “Cadillac operation” with respect to the number of operating hours the landfill has. The regional district hopes to achieve a 73 per cent diversion rate in 10 years, up from the current
51 per cent. They are also looking at all avenues to increase the life of the landfill. A staff report noted that landfill fees in the Okanagan north of Kelowna are $80 per tonne while the S o u t h O k a n ag a n were in the order of $65 per tonne. Staff’s analysis of the revenue shortfall brought forward three potential options: - Reduce service hours (could reduce operating and wage expenses by 10 per cent. - increase the landfill capacity - increase tipping fees Board disussion centred around the issues of inconsistent landfill rates that might have the potential to draw people outside of their own waste sheds to use the cheaper landfill.The board also discussed issues surrounding high prices at the landfill and illegal dumping.

Regional district gets funding for wood stove exchange Program hopes to change out 700 stoves Press release - Ministry of Environment The B.C. government is providing a total of over $192,000 in grant funding to 14 communities/regional districts to encourage residents to replace their old wood stoves with
cleaner burning models that will improve personal health and air quality, Environment Minister Terry Lake announced last week. The Regional District OkanaganSimilkameen will be one of the 14 recipients of the grant funding. The province’s goal is to have close to 700 stoves exchanged across the province in the coming year. Since 2008, the B.C. government has partnered with the BC Lung As-
sociation to run the Provincial Wood Stove Exchange Program. To-date, the B.C. government has put over $1.8 million towards the program, which has resulted in over 5,000 old wood stoves successfully replaced. There are approximately 116,000 older model stoves currently in use around the province that can affect the health of homeowners, their neighbours and overall air shed health.

Buzz Henshaw of Olalla rolls up his sleeve for Penticton Public Health nurse Ana-Maria and prepares for his flu shot at Keremeos’ second flu clinic, which took place from 1 to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, November 20. Five hundred and twenty-six people turned out to the first clinic of the season on November 6, and last week’s clinic also saw a steady stream of residents pass through. The clinic also offered pneumonia shots as well.
Regional Growth Strategy’s relevance put to the test at RDOS board meeting Director’s views of RGS importance and strength as an “umbrella” document differs from one director to another By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The Regional Growth Strategy’s ability to serve as an umbrella document to guide development in the Okanagan portion of the regional district was put to the test at the November 15 board meeting. Last Thursday’s ruling on the consistency of a proposed 12 residential lot and a winery - vineyard operation near the south end of Vaseux Lake with the Regional Growth Strategy may be precedent setting for further challenges to the highly touted legislation, which the board of directors passed in 2010, after 10 years in the making. The lengthy board discussion over Thursday’s issue followed closely on the heels of a discussion over the regional growth strategy that took place two weeks ago at a Planning and Development Committee meeting. At that meeting, several directors expressed a desire to have the ability to revisit the document in order to make changes to such things as
secondary growth areas. West Bench Director Michael Brydon noted at the time that the RGS had not yet been tested - but that changed at the November 15 meeting. The development’s applicant argued that the application should be considered as consistent with the RGS strategy because the lands in question had previously been zoned for development, for which a provision for allowing growth had been provided in the RGS.The applicant further argued that the project should be considered as an “in-fill” development, again consistent with provisions within the strategy. Staff, in their recommendation to the board, argued that the proposal: - did not occur in a primary or rural (secondary) growth area. - did not promote compact urban form. - did not protect the character of the rural area. - did not appear to be rural “infill.” - did not connect public infrastructure and would establish a new private sewer service. Directors were asked Thursday to decide whether the proposed 12 lot development on Vaseux Lake was consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy. While much discussion wandered off topic to discussion about the legitimacy of the development itself, in the end the majority of directors disagreed with staff ’s
recommendation that the proposed development did not fit in with the RGS, allowing for the alternative - to deem the development as meeting the intent of the RGS and allow it to proceed through the regular amendment application process. Had the board favoured staff ’s recommendation, the applicant would have had other options - to amend his application or apply to the RDOS to make an amendment to the RGS itself. “I’m not displeased with the result (of the vote),” Area “D” Alternate Director Tom Styffe said. “Although my feeling is that the RGS is an overarching bylaw that is one step above the Official Community Plan - and it should be adhered to. Today’s decision could be considered as a proposal that fell through the cracks - staff had it right, however I respect the decision of the board.” Styffe added that the RGS was meant to be a guide for regional district boards for years to come, and it should be taken literally. The RGS is guided by provincial legislation and was designed to “promote human settlement that is socially, economically and environmentally healthy, making use of public facilities, and services, land and other resources.” The RGS does not apply to the Similkameen portion of the regional district.

Campers clean up; farmworkers issues discussed
Christmas Light Up
Late season campers show civic Action Plan Forum On Tuesday, November 20, mindedness as farmworkers Penticton and Area Women’s discussions take place Centre held an Action PlanBy Steve Arstad / Lily Zekanovic Scott Warner and his son Cael, along with fellow farmworkers Ken, Sandreen, and Daniel are the kind of campers Keremeos should be happy to have residing in the area. The group has made a big difference in the appearance of the former farmworkers campground near the cement plant in Keremeos. Over the past few weeks, several large truck loads of refuse has been collected from the flood plains and dragged up to the dike to village waste barrels for proper disposal. “We felt we couldn’t leave it like that,” said Scott, who is from Calgary. He currently resides in a trailer, taking advantage of the last of the season’s farm labour before pulling out for the season. “I’m disappointed that the younger campers left the area like that,” Warner added, “you have to respect this land - all that is left here has the potential to wash into the river.” Even though the campground was officially closed this season, transients habituated to living there last summer insisted on setting up camp again this year. Many sites were occupied for several weeks, and when the campers pulled out, some left garbage and personal effects no longer needed.

Mayor Manfred Bauer accepts a donation of $750 from the Keremeos Volunteer Fire Department. The money was raised at the pancake breakfast during this year’s Sizzlefest event and will go towards construction of an overhang to the community kitchen behind the Infocentre. The project will be built with donated labour by tradesmen who are also Keremeos firefighters. Presenting the cheque on behalf of the KVFD are retired firefighters Red Bosscha and Walter Despot.

Village Strategic plan initiatives delayed; reservoir gas tax funding approved By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com The mayor received a donation for $750 from former Keremeos firefighters at the November 19 regular meeting of council. The money will go towards construction of an overhang at the Infocentre’s community kitchen. Council also heard a presentation from CUPE 608, the union representing village union workers. Brianne Wilson, Acting President, spoke to council about the advantages of conducting an internal core review of village procedures. Council received a number of letters, including the following: - a letter from Gagan Lasser regarding the condition of the recreation centre. - a letter from the regional district outlining changes to recycling programs. - a request for feedback regarding the BC Coroner’s service from the Southern Interior Local Government Association. - a request for assistance from Similkameen Country during Christmas light up celebrations on December 7. CAO Laurie Taylor gave council an update on the village’s strategic plan. Highlights of her report are as follows: Communication - new village website’s “live” date has been postponed from mid October to the first part of December. - Quarterly newsletter to
be implemented alongside the website in 2013. - Village takeover of Infocentre readerboard delayed as well. Public Works and Services - Funding in the amount of $300,000 for the proposed reservoir has been approved under the Regionally Significant Gas Tax program and the funding agreement has been signed. A joint meeting between the KID and council to discuss the project was held on September 19. A preliminary timeline meeting was held and a report will be coming to council. There are critical statutory dates that must be met to accommodate the borrowing. Village Parks and Trails A risk control survey from the Municipal Insurance Association recommended that the suggested that, rather than use the trail link on the utility easement at the north end of Fourth Street up to K-View Crescent, the village consider installing a trail system in another area that does not involve an easement and where the soil is stable. Staff continues to look at other areas. Improve and update municipal legislation - Combine village municipal bills Staff has consulted with the village’s financial software suppliers and will be combining garbage, sewer and taxes into one notice in 2013. Automate the election process It is anticipated that the voting process will be automated in time for potential referendum on borrowing of
funds for the water reservoir. CFO Rob Hager presented his budget variance report to council, revealing the following: - most budget categories are at or near budget, however, development in the village has been slow with the result that building permit revenue is below budget. - Hall rentals have come in under budget so far, but equipment sales have raised $6,700 that was not budgeted for. - D eve l o p m e n t C o s t Charges (DCC’s) will not likely meet budget, again due to lack of development activity. - The village has recieved $1,250 in donations and contributions to date, against $100 budgeted. - Cemetery, curbside garbage pickup, Victory Hall costs and parks expenditures are expected to end the year with a favourable variance. - Sewer operating costs also appear to be headed for a favourable variance this year. Keremeos expects to see an operating surplus of five per cent, based on the September variance report. The actual number will not be known until December 31. (For a complete rundown on the village’s strategic plan and the budget variance report, see the village’s website at: www.keremeos.ca and click on the link to the November 19 council agenda.) Council ended the evening’s business with the adoption of the council remuneration and expenses bylaw.

The Review
Publisher: Mark Walker 605 7th Ave, Keremeos Box 130, Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0
Editorial Small communities under assault for their business dollars On the heels of data showing a record number of shoppers hit the stores over the holiday weekend, one report says spending on the most important shopping day of the year for online retailers - known as Cyber Monday - could surpass $1.5 billion. This data, originating in the United States, likely parallels the retail situation in Canada pretty closely. Online sales are growing (again, in the U.S.), online sales are up 26 per cent on “Black Friday” over last year - from 816 million to 1.04 billion dollars. Earlier this week, Canada Post reported that “accelerated mail volume declines have resulted in financial losses for a sixth consecutive quarter,”noting that the underlying cause was “a historic shift from paper-based to digital communication by consumers, businesses and governments.” Canada Post also ominously reported that it was “accelerating the transformation of its business,”(read: consolidations, layoffs and business hour reductions) adding that even though e-commerce was increasing the parcel delivery business, it wasn’t enough to offset losses in letter mail volume. It appears that the increasing trend towards online shopping will accelerate the decline of small town business sections as we know it, as people take to shopping from their homes, and post offices reduce service to compensate for the lack of mail. Seventy per cent of the American economy is based on consumer spending. It wouldn’t surprise us if that figure was even higher in Canada. What this means is the small town business landscape will likely look a lot different a few years from now. We think there will still be a market niche for small town business, but it’s going to take a business person’s vision and accumen to decide what will be attractive for small town customers to go out and buy locally and sell to that market. A tough situation, perhaps, but hopefully not impossible - and potentially, even profitable.

Local spending power can revitalize your neighbourhood By Bruce Stewart Troy Media There’s a wave of business-building going on around the developed world, and it doesn’t require a government program to make it happen. It just requires the businesses in a community to get together and agree on one thing: to jointly sponsor a community gift card, a local currency, or both. The community gift card is the easiest to institute. Any financial institution can run it for the community. Alternatively, the community can turn to a payment processing company which can implement it as a smart phone application. A business improvement area association could, of course, build its own but the services to track balances and securely recognize transactions already exists. Why not use it, and put the money to develop a local system into something else? Unlike a stored value
card or gift card for a single store, the community gift cards are good with all participating merchants. Making them reloadable - with some benefit associated with their use (perhaps a program like “we’ll add 5¢ for every $1.00 you put on the card”), gets people shopping locally with the participants. For the merchants, these look like cash-type transactions - certainly no worse than accepting debit cards. Merchant fees from a card processor will reflect the cash balances on the cards. What a local gift card program does is make it worthwhile to shop in the neighbourhood. This strengthens every business that takes part, because it makes shopping in the neighbourhood worthwhile. It also makes new business ventures in the neighbourhood pick up an immediate audience, simply by being part of the program from the day they open their doors. Chattanooga, Tennessee, has used this to revitalize its downtown, which
had seen most businesses close due to competition from the highway strips on the outskirts of that city. Dane County, Wisconsin (whose main centre is the state capital, Madison) has a county-wide program open to local businesses - those that are owned and operated by locals - and a “Buy Dane” card system. Both have the same idea: money that flows into the till of a locally-owned business stays in the community and is used to build other businesses (through purchases) locally rather than flowing into the till of a major retail chain that ends up leaving the community. But it’s not just gift cards or pre-loaded debit card technology, or smart phone applications, that are delivering results – which can be dramatic. Brixton has been a poverty-stricken, down-at-theheels borough of London, England for years. Few Londoners chose to go to Brixton if they could avoid it. Many of Brixton’s more successful citizens - who in-
cluded former British Prime Minister Sir John Major (1990-97) - made their fortunes elsewhere, as opposed to within the community. Brixton decided a few years ago to fight back, and created a local currency, called the Brixton pound. Today, people who work in Brixton often get their choice of being paid in Brixton pounds or Bank of England pounds. (A majority now choose Brixton pounds.) The two can be exchanged at banks in Brixton. Most businesses in Brixton accept both kinds of currency. Savings in Brixton pounds are being used to make loans to build and expand enterprises located in Brixton. This has formed a vital pool of capital for start-ups in a poor area. As with gift cards, businesses accepting Brixton pounds tend to find suppliers for their needs which are also in Brixton - and are unabashed about letting the Brixton council know what their needs are (“find me a printer in Brixton!”).

American visitor praises Canadian hospitality
To the Editor: I am a 68 year old American who spent seven weeks in August and September hiking in provincial parks in Southern B.C.and the Canadian Rockies. I started in Cathedral Provincial Park which was so beautiful that I can’t say the scenery got better even on the Icefields Parkway. It simply stayed astonishing! But the reason I am writing this letter is to say how much I was impressed with the Canadians I met, including the very pleasant and
helpful staff at the Keremeos Public Library. Canadians aren’t that different from Americans but you are not the same, either. I was really struck by your laid back, low key, mild - mannered demeanour. People act as though they have nothing to prove. I found the Canadians I met on the trail as well as the attendants at gas station convenience stores to be a breath of fresh air that greatly enhanced the pleasure of my trip. I salute you all. Sincerely, Steve Larsen, Corvallis, Oregon

World is a powderkeg waiting for someone to light the fuse To the Editor: War of words mean not the same as words of war do they? The entire planet is now cloaked in a danger zone manipulated by so few that can create so much damage it threatens all life on earth. Every living thing is now crammed into a universal powder keg and it’s just a matter of time till some bonehead lights the fuse.
The sad part of all - there will be nothing left and nobody to remember the way it could have been. The one exception being the creator turned terminator who is now busy planning a new world that doesn’t include man in any shape or form. Why - even the smiley face looks like it has been sucking on a bunch of lemons. Ted Azyan, Osoyoos
Justice not served in sled dog cull conviction To the Editor: In my opinion, the justice system stinks. No matter what crime you do, all they get is a slap on the wrist. Now, take those sled dogs and pups. Some of them were just wounded, and they suffered up to 20 minutes. Think of it, he only got a
fine of $1,500 - and three years probation. He could have refused to murder those dogs. I hope he has nightmares for the rest of his life. Isis Messer, Keremeos
Softening of attitude might change world outlook for reader To the Editor: With a Christmas gift for Tom wish-youcould. Let me bring light, into the hovel of your resentment. I am your neighbor and I see nothing but the hope and charity of common folk helping the little people to happiness. Wake up, clean your glasses, refocus; lay down the pen that writes with cynical ink. Look past the black clouds, see the silver lining. Engage your keen intellect; find again the golden pen of humility Our generation allowed the negative black clouds you see. The magic of our universe lies in the silver lining of the new generation. You are a word smith, it is a gift that can harvest the treasure of acceptance; you too can belong to the community you have chosen; we need your talent. We are gathering the historic alchemy that made us what we are. We need a clever word smith that can bring to life the story of sustainable survival, it began in the mist of time when our specie first discovered this beautiful valley and the indigenous peoples arrived and exploited the valley’s generous treasures with a culture that survived for centuries; these were the guardians of the valley that cared for their treasure. The story goes on to the arrival of Europeans and the creation of our communities that still struggle to find a similar harmony. If you would dare to open this Christmas gift it will consume you. You will become a part of the silver lining; you and your com-

munity will be symbiotic. You will belong; and belonging is a prime attribute of happiness. Olalla has a new society; FOO is one of hundreds of societies living in the silver lining. You could join any one and be useful for they are all justified and need people of intellect. And they all have roots in the political concept of democracy that you continually lambast, it entreats innocent brave individuals, to step up to be elected because they believe they can contribute to a better world in the silver lining. You helped elect Angelique Wood, of area “G” to our district. It was she that planted the seed of FOO (Friends of Olalla), your local society. Now you need to stand behind the innocent you elected; let her feel the strength of committed loyalty; don’t let her and us be consumed by the black clouds of suspicion and cynicism that you portray. She is the politically positive thing you search for; it is not what you see that creates your attitude, it is what you focus on. Take a careful look at what she’s trying to do. Give her a break. Embrace this gift of positive purpose let it fill your life and drive out the negative resentment of the old curmudgeon that you are becoming. Leave behind the wish you could; join us and be a “Yes we can.” I would love to share a bright and beautiful 2013 with you. Do you have the courage to take a leap of faith? A Merry Christmas from Joe Littlefield of FOO Joe Littlefield, Olalla

Passing lane construction begins on Highway 97 10 million dollar project slated for spring 2013 completion Contributed Road work began on November 1 on major improvements to Highway 97 between the towns of Oliver and Okanagan Falls. The current irrigation canal will be relocated in preparation for the addition of passing lanes in both directions for 1.5 kilometres. The project was first announced by Premier Christy Clark at the the recent Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) Conference. The road widening project is located north of Gallagher Lake, between Oliver and Okanagan Falls. The highway construction is scheduled to be complete by March 15, 2013, and will ultimately provide four lanes with paved 2.6 metre centre median, 2.0
metre wide shoulders, rumble strips and roadside barrier as required.

Students learn culinary arts at SESS By Steve Arstad news@keremeosreview.com
I
t’s nearing noon hour and the Similkameen Elementary Secondary School cafeteria kitchen is a bee hive of activity as students in the school’s cafeteria program prepare today’s lunch menu for the school. The cafeteria program, which started last year under the guidance of Sherry PhilpottAdhikary, is in its second year and gaining popularity amongst the student body - for both the program content as well as the lunches produced as a result of it. Today, students under the direction of teacher Nicola Haamers are working towards the elementary school students 12:15 lunch period, followed by the secondary lunch at 12:45. “ All the students have passed their two day FoodSafe course,” explained Haamers, “the students are involved in the program for one semester at a time, but can take the program for up to three years if they wish.” The school’s cafeteria is broken up into several workstations where students bake, prepare salads, entrees, sandwiches and soup. They also have clean up stations where dishwashing and other kitchen duties are performed. “Students rotate through the stations on a weekly basis,” Haamers added, “The entrees table seems to be the most popular.” A look at the menu reveals a wide variety of selections to choose from through the week - today’s menu features won ton soup with sandwiches and wraps, for instance. “The students are taught to make everything from scratch,” added Haamers, who has two support workers to help guide the students. All the elementary students eat in the cafeteria, with at least half or more of the senior student population remaining in the school at lunchtime, although that number inflates somewhat in the winter. At least two students have indicated they would like to go further in the trade - Chelsea Ouimette, who BROCHURES BROCHU RES CATAL CATALOGU O OGU ES CON CONTES TESTS TS S PR RODU ODUCT CTS CT TS T S ST TOR OR RE ES S FLYERS FLY ERS S DE DEALS ALS S COUPO COU UPO PO ONS S BRO BR ROC CHU HU U URE RES ES S CA CATAL AL LOGU OGUES ES ES

said that she would like to pursue a pastry chef program after finishing a mechanic’s apprenticeship, and Jeff Holub, who is planning on taking a culinary arts course after SESS. Looking around the busy kitchen, it certainly appears that the students seem to be enjoying the program - all while learning a set of skills that could be put to use immediately in their own homes. Indeed, once their parents read this article - and see the photos of their kids so adept at kitchen duties - it’s entirely possible that these students may be given an endless number of opportunities to hone their culinary skills at home.
Cassie Kolisnyk and David Ruocco tend to the dishwashing station.
Jeff Holub is considering a career in culinary arts, adding to his training through the SESS program
Chelsea Ouimette enjoys making pastries and is looking at specializing as a pastry chef after high school.

B.C. promotes heritage sites through new exhibit Contributed A new exhibit promoting heritage sites in B.C. is now on display at the Vancouver Convention Centre, announced Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson at the official opening on November 21. The display features 11 of B.C.’s provincial heritage sites including the Grist Mill at Keremeos. The exhibit is in the concourse of the east building of the Vancouver Convention Centre. The Vancouver Convention Centre sees approximately 790,000 visitors annually and the display’s location will help promote our province’s heritage sites to those visitors.
A semi-trailer driver is lucky to be alive after an early morning accident on Highway 3 south of Keremeos. The accident occurred around 3:30 a.m., November 21, immediately south of the Chopaka Road turnoff on Highway 3. The truck hit the west shoulder of the road, travelling for about 100 metres just below the road grade before coming to a sudden stop against an embankment. The semi rolled onto its side, and suffered extensive damage to the tractor portion of the unit. There was also a minor spill of oil and diesel fuel, which was quickly contained and brought under control. Police say the driver of the unit was taken to Penticton Regional Hospital, but has since been released. It is believed the truck, which was carrying a mixed load, had potentially hazardous goods amongst its cargo. A hazmat team was also been called in to assist in the recovery operation. The truck narrowly missed a pumphouse, taking out a utility pole and knocking down what appeared to be telephone and cable services.

Neighbouring worlds
One of the more exciting recent astronomical discoveries was the finding of an earth-sized planet orbiting the nearest star to the Sun. It lies about 4.3 light years away, which is no distance at all by cosmic standards. The star is usually called Alpha Centauri, but it also has the more poetic name of Rigel Kentaurus. It is a moderately bright star in the constellation of Centaurus, “The Centaur”. To the naked eye it looks like a single star, but the telescope
reveals it to consist of three stars orbiting each other. These have been artistically labelled A, B and C. The planet orbits Alpha Centauri B. This star is about the same temperature as the Sun, but only half as bright. However, the planet orbits so close to its star that it completes an orbit around it in less than four days. Being that close to the star it must be red hot and partially molten. So far astronomers have confirmed about a thousand planets orbiting other stars, with several thousand more having been reported and in the process of being confirmed. However, as yet the big puzzle is why those other planets don’t seem to be in planetary systems like our Solar System.
The Solar System consists of four rocky planets orbiting relatively close to the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Then there is a belt of asteroids, and then four gas giant planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Then there are many icy bodies and minor planets orbiting the outer reaches of the Solar System, including Pluto. It all used to make sense. A cloud of cosmic dust collapsed into a disc. The core became the Sun and a lot of the other stuff formed planets. The inner four had a lot of their gassy atmospheres cooked and blown away by the Sun, whereas further out, the planets hung onto them, making them gas giants. The gravity of the giant planet Jupiter interfered with
the formation of a planet between it and Jupiter, leaving us with a belt of asteroids. However, other planetary systems do not seem to be following this logical model. We have a lot more to learn about planet and star formation. One reason we have a special interest in planets orbiting the stars closest to us is that we might be able to visit them. However, in the absence of “interstellar jumps” and “warp drive”, this is very difficult. A spacecraft of current designs might reach 200 km/ sec. However, at that speed it will take 6,450 years to get to Alpha Centauri. There are concept technologies that might get us to 20 per cent of the speed of light. This brings the journey down to 21.5 years, which is still a long time. Ideas in science fiction for travelling these distances in-
clude “generation ships”, where your remote descendents arrive at the destination, and “deep hibernation”, where you sleep the interstellar decades away. However, there is a story about such a mission to another star, where the crew woke up at their destination and found a human reception committee. While they were asleep someone back on Earth had invented warp drive and colonists had got there ahead of them. The best idea seems to be to stick around home and wait for the right technologies to be developed. Jupiter rises around 5 p.m. Saturn and Venus lie close together and rise around 5 a.m. The Moon will be full on the 28th.

Winter tire benefits not understood: Report Rubber Association of Canada Only half of Canadian drivers (52 per cent) use winter tires, despite their proven superior performance in all cold-weather road conditions. Canadian drivers lag in adopting winter tires in spite of evidence that their use saves lives and reduces road-accident injuries. A 2011 study by the Quebec government shows that winter road-accident injuries have dropped by five per cent since winter tire use was made mandatory by law in 2008. Widespread use of winter tires is credited with preventing about 575 injuries per winter in the province. These findings are supported by a new report from the Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) that concludes that winter tires decrease costly collisions. The report cites extensive research that shows that winter tires deliver superior traction, cornering and braking on all cold-weather road surfaces. “All the evidence points to winter tires being the safest choice for driving in cold weather,” says Glenn Maidment, president of the Rubber Association of Canada (RAC), which represents tire makers. “Drivers should carefully consider whether winter tires are right for them and make an educated choice.” This fall tire makers are urging motorists to get the facts about winter tires. A wealth of on-line information about the performance advantages of winter tires is available at the RAC’s website, www.rubberassociation.ca. The TIRF report, entitled Winter tires: A Review of Research on Effectiveness and Use, stresses that the benefits of winter tires are not well understood and clarifies commonly held myths about winter tires.
Many motorists, for example, think that winter tires are only useful in regions with lots of snow. In fact, research shows that, once temperatures drop below seven degrees Celsius, winter tires perform better whether the road surface is dry, snow covered, slushy or icy. Winter tires feature specialized rubber compounds that retain elasticity in temperatures below -30 degrees Celsius and treads that grip at cold temperatures. In fact, winter tires deliver up to 50 per cent more cold-weather traction than all-seasons. Another misconception is that all-season or summer tires provide sufficient traction in winter. One of the most important advantages of winter tires is reduced stopping distance when braking. According to research cited by the TIRF report, at temperatures just below freezing on dry pavement stopping distance for vehicles with all-season tires can be as much as 30 per cent longer than for vehicles with winter tires. Winter tires have also been shown to have better traction on a snowy surface at -40 degrees Celsius than an allseason tire has at plus four degrees Celsius. Some motorists avoid winter tires because their vehicles are equipped with Antilock Braking Systems, All-Wheel Drive or four-wheel drive. The TIRF report notes that these systems require sufficient traction to be effective and that winter tires provide that needed traction. Another commonly believed myth is that two winter tires, rather than a set of four, is sufficiently safe. Mixing different types of tires creates a traction imbalance between the front and rear wheel positions and can cause a vehicle to “over steer” (when the winter tires are mounted on the

As winter threatens the Similkameen, a recent study found only half of Canadian motorists use winter tires. front axle) or “under steer” (when the winter tires are on the rear axle). These unsafe conditions can make a vehicle difficult to control, particularly when cornering. Proper tire inflation is also important during the winterdriving month. Tires that are under-or-over inflated have a smaller footprint on the road surface, which lessens their grip. The result is reduced stopping and handling capabilities and wasted fuel. Tire inflation pressure can drop quickly during cold snaps. Every five degrees Celsius change results in about one psi change in pressure, so a temperature drop of 15 degrees Celsius would result in 10 per cent or three psi under-inflation. During winter, tire makers recommend measuring tire inflation frequently using a reliable tire gauge to ensure tires are properly inflated to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation. “ Wi n te r ti re s and proper inflation should be considered driving essentials from December to April,” s ay s M a i d m e n t . “Motorists should also practice defensive driving and keep their vehicles properly maintained and prepared for winter driving.” Wh e n bu y i n g winter tires, motorists should look for the mountain snowflake symbol on the sidewall. Tires with
this symbol meet or exceed tire industry snow traction requirements.

Local MP conducts town hall meetings, meets with regional district officials GMO food, smart meters peace initiatives focus of BC Southern Interior MP Alex Atamanenko By Steve Arstad Local politicians met with BC Southern Interior MP Alex Atamanenko at the Legion Hall on Tuesday November 13. Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer, Electoral Areas “B” and “G” Directors George Bush and Angelique Wood met with Atamanenko along with 20 or so members of the public from the Lower Similkameen. Opening remarks were followed by a question and answer session in which the following regional topics were discussed: - genetically modified foods - the lack of public transportation in the valley- the Similkameen Valley water study - the importance of regional cooperation The meeting ran just over two hours.
As part of a South Okanagan - Similkameen tour to meet with local officials, Atamanenko also spoke to regional district directors at the regular board meeting of November 15. He described his attempt to pass a Private Members Bill last year regarding genetically modified foods legislation and the lobby from industry opposed to it. He also thanked Electoral Area “C” Director Allan Patton for his director’s motion opposing the Arctic apple. “It’s important to keep the pressure on,” Attamanenko said regarding GMO legislation, “the next battle ground is alfalfa.” Atamanenko also told the board that he had taken an intervenor’s position on the smart meter issue, noting that safety code six was not adequate to tackle smart meter safety issues. He continues his work with the Canadian Peace Initiative, and continues his work to prevent horsemeat from being butchered for human consumption.

Many Canadian families are still of the ‘traditional’ kind but, according to Statistics Canada (StatsCan), their numbers are declining while those for blended families are growing. The 2011 Census1 included stepfamilies (StatsCan’s term for blended families) for the first time, and according to the Census stepfamilies now represent about one in eight families with children. Money matters are often a challenge in any relationship, and they become even more challenging in the case of a second (or third) marriage or common-law relationship, especially when they include children from previous and current relationships. Here are some points to consider: If you and your partner have separate financial plans, it’s important that you come together and develop a cohesive plan that will help best attain your new family’s objectives. Determine how you are going to treat all your children equally. Establish an RESP for every child that does not already have one. If you and your partner designate each other as the direct beneficiary of all of their assets, when one partner dies, everything goes to the survivor, potentially disinheriting the children of the deceased spouse. And, if the surviving partner should remarry, the new partner could become entitled to the estate (or a large portion of it) which could disinherit not only the children of the deceased partner but even the children of the survivor. For these and other reasons, a standard will is not recommended for a blended family. Other strategies include dividing the estate at the time of death of the first parent or using a spousal trust to protect the assets for both families. It’s crucial to speak to your legal advisor regarding a will with terms appropriate for your blended family. Similar problems can arise from jointly held property. Many couples choose to hold property jointly so title passes automatically to the survivor on the death of the spouse and avoids probate fees (this does not apply in Québec). But if you have children or other dependants from a previous relationship and want them to share in the value of your property, then holding title to the property jointly with the right of survivorship isn’t recommended. Speak to your legal advisors regarding ways to hold
