24 November 2014Town of Osoyoos Council explores repurposing of local Airport Lands Town of Osoyoos Council is exploring a more practical use for an airport facility that now serves a limited number of recreational aircraft and a drag strip for local racing enthusiasts. Council determined November 3 the existing airport lands could be better used for industrial expansion. Council then met with newly elected Councillors, members of the Town's Economic Advisory and Destination Osoyoos boards on November 17 and explained its conclusion. All agreed Council's direction was in the best interests of the community. "Very few aircraft use the existing airfield," explained Mayor Stu Wells, adding that Council had grappled over the last two years with a proposed $4.5-million expansion to make the facility a more viable operation. An expansion would have required the purchase of some adjacent property, he added. Council viewed the $4.5-million expenditure as redundant given the airport facilities in Oliver and a shuttle service recently developed to move air travellers from Kelowna and Penticton airports to Osoyoos. "We're confident visitors to Osoyoos arriving by pleasure aircraft can be accommodated by the Oliver facility," said Mayor-elect Sue McKortoff. "Given the location of the property near Hwy. 3 and Hwy. 97, using the land for an industrial purpose makes so much more sense." The airport property was granted to the Town for airport purposes. Before changing the property's use to industrial, the Town would be required to purchase it from the province. "Osoyoos has a limited land base and must make the best use of the land that is available to the community," said McKortoff. "Future growth and development of the community will require additional industrial lands." The Town currently has just two industrial lots available for sale and development. Barry Romanko, the Town's Chief Administrative Officer, said he was pleased with the way in which the decision was made. "Right now we're somewhat in between two Councils, with one going out and another ready to begin service December 1," he explained. "By involving all councillors in the discussion, we've provided for continuity." The new Council will have the final say on whether to move forward with the land purchase — and subsequent decision to convert the airport to industrial use. "Obviously, there will be substantial consultation with members of the Osoyoos community as well," said McKortoff. #### For more information: Barry Romanko, CAO Town of Osoyoos (T) 250-495-6515 (E) firstname.lastname@example.com

ASEAN All-Stars lost 1-0 in charity game
JAKARTA — Datuk K Rajagobal's ASEAN All-Stars side lost 1-0 to the Indonesian national team in a charity fund-raising match held at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium on Sunday in Jakarta.
The Indonesians scored the only goal of the game in the 13th minute off a corner by Talaohu Abdul Mushafry.
The All-Stars, with three Vietnamese players, started strong with striker Le Cong Vinh and captain Mohamad Shahril Ishak of Malaysia leading the frontline. But with a rather disjointed midfield where understanding and co-ordination floundered, the Indonesian team did not take too long to assert their dominance.
In the 25th minute, a lob from Viet Nam's Nguyen Van Quyet narrowly missed the goal as Indonesia continued to pressure from the flanks. Zulham almost doubled Indonesia's lead just before the break, but his attempt was prevented by Mohd Aidil Zafuan Abdul Radzak.
The changes made for a handful of players disrupted the flow of the game in the second half as the ASEAN All-Stars pushed for the elusive equaliser.
All money collected from the match will be donated for the benefit of the victims of Typhoon Haiyan. — VNS

The Kitchener Rangers winger used humour to break the ice. After all, how else do you address a guy you once punched in the face?
"I've said a couple of times that I might beat him up again and stuff like that," said Thomson, with a smile. "It's not awkward anymore."
It was weird for a few days after a trade brought Nick Czinder to the Rangers this past September. After all, a year ago this past Saturday, the 6-foot-5 forward, then a member of the Windsor Spitfires, got into a dust-up with Thomson.
Today, they're not only teammates, but play on the same line.
"It's a little bit strange," admitted Thomson, a bruising forward who has dropped the gloves five times this season. "But you both understand that it's part of the game."
Both players remember the tilt well. It was the second period and the game had hit a lull. Sensing a change of pace was needed the two tough guys went at it.
"We looked at each other and thought it was a good time," said Thomson.
Added Czinder: "It was just a spur of the moment thing. We were both in front of the net and kind of looked at each other and it was just one of those things."
It only lasted 25 seconds. Czinder opened up with a few heavy right hands before Thomson answered with a couple of his own. The verdict?
"I'll let people look at the video and decide for themselves," said a humble Czinder.
Thomson wasn't so coy.
"I think he might have got me on that one," he said.
So Czinder won the fight. But Thomson's Rangers won the game 3-2. Now, a year later, they're pals.
"It's funny how it works," said Czinder. "We understand it was nothing. It's cool, it's good."
As it turns out, they have something in common – they both never forget their fights.
"I think it's the emotion," said Thomson, who leads the Rangers with 62 penalty minutes this season. "After the game you go home and it's in your head. When you wake up, it's still in your head a little bit."
Same goes for Czinder.
"Fights definitely stand out," said the 20-year-old. "They're a big part of the game. They're exciting and get you going."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
A free lunch?
TFSA often misunderstood, but make no mistake, it will lead to substantial savings -- so long as you actually use it
A little more than five years ago, the tax-free savings account was announced in the 2008 budget with very little fanfare.
Each Canadian adult's opportunity to contribute $5,000 of after-tax money a year to an investment account that could grow tax-sheltered and be withdrawn without taxation didn't seem like that big a deal, especially when it didn't take effect until Jan. 1, 2009.
Yet in the world of finance, where most so-called free lunches come with a price, the feds were actually tossing wage slaves a veritable brown-bagger.
Still, the TFSA's official launch almost got lost in the headlines due to the collapse of the stock and credit markets at the time. Few people had the stomach for investing at the end of 2008 -- even though it was precisely the right time to put money into a TFSA.
"If someone had opened a TFSA and bought some blue-chip stocks at the bottom of the market in those first three months, they would have made big gains in their TFSA within the span of about 10 months," says personal finance expert Gordon Pape.
Pape has authored the only comprehensive book on TFSAs, Ultimate Tax-Free Savings Account Guide, and he rushed to launch it just in time for the 2009 start date for TFSAs.
More than four years later, few Canadians don't know about TFSAs.
Still, some could benefit from perusing the book, because a good number of misconceptions exist about the savings vehicle.
"The biggest misconception is the name -- tax-free savings accounts -- because that leads people to think these are like bank savings accounts, and they don't understand the range of different types of securities you can hold in these plans, depending on the type of plan you open," Pape says.
"If they had been called tax-free investment accounts, then I think people would have started looking at them in a different way."
While there is no truly wrong or right way to use a TFSA, there's no denying its long-term benefits for growth.
Today, Canadians can have contributed as much as $25,500 to a TFSA. And we get to contribute another $5,500 per year until annual inflation adjustments increase the annual rate by another $500. Or, as Prime Minister Stephen Harper suggested while stumping in the last election, the annual contribution rate will be doubled to more than $10,000 a year once the budget deficit has been slain.
RBC personal financial planner Ryan Lussier says his preference when advising clients to contribute to their TFSAs is to invest in more aggressive assets.
"The reason being is your tax advantage is not that great if you're holding conservative interest-bearing investments like savings deposits or GICs that are only yielding one or two per cent returns."
On $25,500 earning three per cent a year, the tax savings are about $356 -- at the highest marginal rate. Certainly that's not chump change, but the long-term growth potential is in much more rewarding stock market investments.
Even a dividend mutual fund providing three per cent returns from dividends and four per cent capital gains annually offers a more wallet-fattening proposition.
The tax savings are about $484 at the highest tax rate annually, but over time, the money has the potential to grow into a much larger pile much more quickly.
"The best tax savings that you can generate are capital gains; even though 50 per cent of capital gains are not taxable, the other 50 per cent are fully taxable at your marginal rate," Pape says.
"But that doesn't mean going out and gambling on penny stocks."
The obvious risks with penny stocks aside, the one TFSA pitfall some investors may not realize at first is that just like RRSPs, any capital losses inside a TFSA cannot be used to offset taxes paid on capital gains realized in a non-registered investment.
But blue-chip stock -- big companies with steady dividend track records -- are generally a good investment for a TFSA because they pay you to hold them, and they generally go up in value over the long haul, he says.
"If you really wanted to go for the big kill and this was money you could afford to lose, you could look at investing in something like a mutual fund that specializes in junior mining stocks, which are way down in the dumps right now," Pape says. "They're cheap, and history has shown us that when the cycle turns and commodity prices start to go up, the prices of these types of stocks go up disproportionately."
But your choice of investments for a TFSA really boils down to your risk profile, says Sara Kinnear, a lawyer specializing in tax and estate planning at Investors Group.
"You may have some of the money in your TFSA devoted to short-term objectives and some of it for long term."
She adds the biggest dilemma for most people is whether they should save in an RRSP or a TFSA.
"That depends on a lot of issues, like what your tax rate is right now and what your expected tax rate will be in retirement, how long you're going to leave the money in there, and all that kind of stuff," she says.
"If you've already maximized your RRSP limit -- or maybe because you don't have one because you're not working or you have big pension adjustments -- then absolutely you should put your savings into the TFSA."
Lussier says people should get a little professional tax advice to figure out what makes the most sense for them. But the majority of people should focus on RRSP contributions first because they help reduce taxes today, providing an immediate return on investment -- and when done properly, those contributions will lead to real tax savings in retirement. That's because you defer paying higher taxes now and withdraw the money at a lower tax rate in retirement.
But there are exceptions to the RRSP-before-TFSA rule. For instance, low-income earners expecting to be low-income earners in retirement may want to put whatever savings they can find in a TFSA because an RRSP withdrawal could affect income-tested government financial aid such as the guaranteed income supplement and the GST rebate, whereas a TFSA withdrawal has no effect on either one.
Yet if you can afford to maximize contributions to both accounts, you're robbing yourself of an opportunity to avoid taxes entirely on investments later in life by failing to stuff a TFSA full of cash.
"I see us getting to a point in time where most of the money people have invested will be tax-sheltered either in an RRSP or a TFSA," says Pape. "Either that or they won't know what they're doing."
Quick facts
Too much of a good thing?
At some point, Canadians are going to have a substantial amount of contribution room for their TFSAs. And like personal finance author Gordon Pape mentioned, between RRSP and TFSAs, most folks should be able to tax-shelter all their savings. In fact, some experts have pointed out the federal government stands to lose a substantial amount of tax revenue from investments inside TFSAs that otherwise would have been held in non-registered accounts where their earnings are taxable. In 2012, economist Kevin Milligan authored a report in the Canadian Tax Journal that estimates when TFSAs have about $200,000 in contribution room in less than two decades, 80 per cent of all taxable assets would be sheltered, resulting in a six per cent reduction in government revenue from income taxes. So far, estimates on the TFSAs' effects on tax revenues have been minimal, he writes. According to the Tax Expenditures and Evaluations Report, estimated lost tax revenue is about $220 million.
Beware of over-contributing:
Most people aren't going to put more into their TFSA than the annual limit, but where many have had their hands bitten by the CRA is when they have inadvertently over-contributed. This generally happens when they first withdraw money from their TFSA, then recontribute that money during the same tax year, says tax expert Sara Kinnear with Investors Group. "Let's say, for example, I've maxed out all my prior-year limits, so I have a contribution for this year of $5,500." She contributes $5,500, then withdraws $5,000. "That's fine so far, but then next month I get a bonus from work of $5,000 and I think, 'Why don't I put that in my TFSA?' I can't do that because I've already maximized my limit for the year." If she did make than additional contribution, she would be $5,000 over the limit and subject to a penalty tax of one per cent per month. That's $50 a month, so if that over-contribution was made in June, the tax bill could be $300. Furthermore, any gains made on the over-contributed money inside the TFSA are fully taxable. But if she waits until 2013, she can make her annual contribution of $5,500, then recontribute $5,000 without penalty.
TFSA vs. RRSP: In most cases, it makes sense to contribute to an RRSP over a TFSA if you're looking for the best place for your money to grow, but there are exceptions, such as low-income earners. RBC financial adviser Ryan Lussier says other situations where people may want to invest in a TFSA over an RRSP is when they have a large work pension. In this instance, they may be looking at substantial pension income from work, CPP and OAS that when combined with a taxable RRIF withdrawal, may push their net income into the OAS claw-back range. On any dollar of net income above the $69,522 limit, you are clawed back 15 per cent. Lussier says business owners and farmers may also want to favour TFSA contributions over RRSPs because they can have very low taxable incomes while working as a result of deductions, and then they can be faced with a much higher income in retirement if they are able to sell their business. "When they sell the business or the farm, they're in the highest marginal tax bracket and have a lot of investment income without many tax deductions to use against it." So a source of non-taxable income would certainly be a good thing.

News : Michael Hussey to retire from international cricket
Players/Officials: Ed Cowan | David Warner
Teams: Australia
David Warner and Ed Cowan must contemplate leading Australia after Michael Hussey's retirement added further to the leadership conundrum created by Michael Clarke's tender hamstring and Shane Watson's uncertain international future. The loss of Hussey and Ponting in the space of three Test matches means Australia are not only without two of their most seasoned batsmen but also the likely candidates to lead the Test team in the event of Clarke and Watson being unavailable.
Watson has already been ruled out of the New Year's Test in Sydney due to a calf problem that may well sound the final knell for his attempts to maintain fitness as a Test match allrounder, and Clarke is again in some doubt with a strained hamstring. Hussey's decision to retire shocked Clarke and Australia's coach Mickey Arthur, leaving them short not only of their most complete batsman but also a safe candidate for short-term leadership duty.
Arthur had been digesting Watson's confession that he may no longer be an allrounder in the future in the hours following the Boxing Day Test when he felt a tap on the shoulder. Hussey requested an audience with Arthur and Clarke, whereupon the 37-year-old confirmed his intention to retire at summer's end. The instant response of Clarke and Arthur was to leave Hussey room to reconsider.
"We'd done our selection meetings, we'd got everything out of the way, and Watto and I had a chat to see where he was with his injury and Watto hinted that he might just consider being used as a batsman from now on, so that was a little bit of a shock," Arthur told ESPNcricinfo. "And then I thought I'd just have a beer now and enjoy the win and Mike Hussey tapped me on the shoulder.
"So my first reaction was 'wow', it was myself and Michael Clarke and Huss together, Clarkey and I looked at each other and it was just 'wow, what do we do'. We congratulated him on a fantastic career and said 'are you sure?' but Huss had made his mind up and like a true champion he's done it very well."
Warner and Cowan have both been mentioned as potential captains, after leading various teams in the past 12 months. Warner led the Sydney Thunder and a CA Chairman's XI last summer, while Cowan guided Australia A on their winter tour of England and showed his batting could benefit from the extra responsibility by comfortably topping the tour aggregates.
Australia's plans for the tours of India and England in 2013 had been drawn up with Hussey as a central part, especially after Ponting's loss of form had hastened his exit from the national team. Arthur said a swift change of tack was now required, and he placed onus on the likes of Warner, Cowan and Watson when he returned to fitness to step into the breach.
"We were certainly building a top six around that," Arthur said. "We always knew Clarke was there, and once Ponting went we knew we had Hussey. We had all our plans in place, so with no warning it was a shock, but I totally understand his reasoning and respect his decision. He deserves to go out the way he is. But for us now it's about moulding a top six that's going to win us a Test series in India and win us an Ashes - an enormous task.
"In our Test team you've got to hope that David Warner and Shane Watson really step up now. I'm pretty confident they'll do that. In Ed Cowan you've got a very wise head, a very good, calming leader around the group. So they need to stand up. I said to the group when Ricky left I wanted everyone to stand up and give us 5% more, now we're going to have to ask everyone to stand up and give 15% more, because we need to fill that void now that we've lost, and we need to fill it very quickly."
That void was painfully evident on last year's ODI tour of England, when a team minus Ponting and Hussey - who missed the trip for family reasons - was battered 4-0. Arthur said that while excesses of rain and inadequate preparation factored into that result, he acknowledged the team dynamic was changing enormously without the guidance and example offered by Hussey.
"We were outplayed in that one-day series, but there were so many mitigating factors," Arthur said. "We couldn't train with rain, we'd come basically out of an off-season, whereas now we wouldn't have, our planning is in place and is spot on in terms of giving guys enough cricket and preparation leading into that first Ashes Test match. That won't be a problem, but what we are looking for is some guys to really stand up and take the opportunity because there are opportunities out there for somebody to make it his own.
"The team dynamic's definitely changed a massive amount when you consider you've lost Ponting and Hussey in a couple of Test matches. Mike Hussey's a phenomenal player and I was gutted when he told me because he's been such a reliable batsman. But you've got to look to the future, you've got to look to who's going to step up. We've got so many options available and I'm so excited to see who steps up and who takes on what is a really demanding year for us."

I have a tintype of a man that I am reasonably sure is a Coberly. I have scanned it into my computer and "cleaned it up" with Photoshop. I believe the person in the picture is Jesse Felvar Coberly, 1837-1923. I would be glad to share the picture with any one who is interested but I also need help verifying his identity.

The unit is powered by odour eliminating baking soda! I would love to win one so that I can stop walking around the house having to hold my nose so I can't smell the stinky nappies! There is nothing worse than when hubby 'forgets' to put it outside and by the morning the whole house has a bad odour, and it takes days to go away!

The Munckin nappy bin doesn't just mask odours, it neutralizes them using natural bicarb soda. Owning one would make life far easier on my nose!
Posted 04 April 2012 - 10:10 AM
It uses bicarb soda to neutralise smells. I'd love to win one for my cousin who is due next month with her first baby.

It's patented hygiene vent uses natural bicarb soda to neutralize odors.
I'd love to win the Munchkin Nappy disposal System, ensuring the nursery and rest of house stays healthy, clean and smelling nice and fresh.

It uses bicarb soda to neutralise odours. Love to win for 2nd bub as I know how stinky it can get from first time round
Posted 04 April 2012 - 11:10 AM
Munchkin nappy disposal system uses the unique natural baking soda which neutralizes the odour. It has no harmful chemicals and so i would love to get one as it is very convenient for my family. I would also recommend it to my freinds who uses the traditional way of napkin disposal.Its some thing new and im eager to try it!!
Posted 04 April 2012 - 11:21 AM
Its unique because it neutralises odours using baking soda instead of just masking the smell! Would love one of these to keep my nursery smelling fresh!
Posted 04 April 2012 - 11:30 AM
I don't want to win one, I just wanted to say that we have one of these in the nursery and it is GREAT! Love every little aspect of this nappy bin! Go MUNCHKIN! (Their bottle cleaners are fantastic too!)
Posted 04 April 2012 - 11:59 AM
It neutralises smell,
To prevent you living in hell.
I am anxiously awaiting delivery of baby 1,
And look forward to having fun,
With a smell free room for the bun!
Posted 04 April 2012 - 12:13 PM
The system uses the power of bicarb soda instead of relying on harsh chemicals. I would love one so that my friends stop buying me air fresheners my house stinks.
Posted 04 April 2012 - 01:57 PM
The unique hygiene vent uses natural bicarb soda to neutralise odours. I would love one as I didn't end up getting one for my baby shower.
Posted 04 April 2012 - 02:47 PM
Munchkin nappy system uses natural bicarb soda to neutralise and eliminate odors. My dog is obsessed with the smell of nappies - I need to get rid of the odor to stop him knocking the bin over all the time!
Posted 04 April 2012 - 05:11 PM
I'd love one for home. The baking soda sounds new.
Posted 04 April 2012 - 05:19 PM
The Munckin nappy bin doesn't mask odours, it neutralizes them using natural bicarb soda.
I would like to win one to give to my wife so she doesnt complain about the smelly nursery all the time
Posted 04 April 2012 - 05:28 PM
This traps those awful nasty smells that cute babies can create. More unique then any normal bin and hygenic! How could I not want one??
Posted 04 April 2012 - 05:49 PM
Sorry, but I can't believe in this day and age we can feature articles on sustainable living and then give away such a redundant item as a nappy disposal system. Can't you just toss em in the bin? Until we have compostable waste - wake up to yourselves Councils of Australia - nappies like everything else, just get squished down in an anaerobic pulp in our Council facilities. Why then would you need to store them in your house, baking soda or otherwise?
Posted 04 April 2012 - 08:46 PM
The Munchkin System uses bi-carb, which is awesome, as this is the only cleaning product that I feel safe using around the little ones
Posted 04 April 2012 - 09:38 PM
Baking soda certainly does work Miracles, and to come with this Munchkin System its certainly a Must have
Posted 04 April 2012 - 10:10 PM
[/size]unlike other claims Munchkin actually gets rid ofodours, i would love to win to pass it to mum to persuade her to buy it
Posted 04 April 2012 - 10:17 PM
It uses baking soda to netralise odours... must be a US thing though to call it baking soda and not bicarb soda. Does it work with cloth nappies? Not to dispose obviously, just to store and remove smells before washing. Because my daughter has some stinky cloth nappies. I don't use disposable.
Posted 05 April 2012 - 09:57 AM
The Munchkin Nappy Disposal System sounds completely different to other nappy disposal systems on the market. I was using a nappy disposal system but every time you lifted the lid to put a nappy in you got hit with the putrid smell of wet/urine soaked nappies!! GROSS!! I'm due with my second bub in a few weeks so this would be a great addition to the added nappy collection!!
Posted 05 April 2012 - 10:52 AM
Munchkin Nappy Disposal system uses natural baking soda to neutralizes the odour. I would love to try it as I use as few chemicals in my home as possible.

Meeting Ambiya, one wouldn't suspect that this vibrant and positive15-year-old has been facing a life-threatening illness for the past two years. Ambiya was diagnosed with Multiple drug-resistant Tuberculosis, which can't be cured by normal TB medication
In Indonesia, treatment for MDR-TB became available only in 2009. Learning of Ambiya's diagnosis, and having lost her husband to TB, Ambiya's mother was determined to help her daughter to be cured
During the rainy season, the river which runs beside her home flooded the narrow alleys, so Ambiya and her mother had to wade through the cold and dirty water to go to the hospital for her daily treatment
It was vital that Ambiya's doctors supervise her treatment on a daily basis, as the slightest lapse could have made her immune to the drugs. The practice of observing a patient taking their medication each day to ensure adherence is a key aspect of strategies to combat TB, both for drug resistant and drug-sensitive tuberculosis
Ambiya's treatment required her to take 11 pills per day, and the medicines cause nausea, adding to the challenge of getting them all down. Crushing the pills into a paste makes the medicines easier to swallow
The hour-long bus-ride to and from the TB clinic, and the trying process of taking the medicines is something that Ambiya and her mother have had to do every day for the past 18 months
"Before 2009, MDR-TB patients were not given anything," says Ambiya's doctor, Erlina Burnham. "They would most likely die due to respiratory failure." When the drugs were made available through support from a Global Fund grant she was delighted be able to offer treatment her MDR-TB patients
For Ambiya, the end of this difficult time is in sight. Although she may always have the scars in her lungs left by tuberculosis, she's just two months away from a full recovery and the end of her treatment
Soon she'll be able to go back to just being a normal teenager
