Merritt Mayor Susan Roline, Fraser-Nicola MLA Jackie Tegart and city councillors Mike Goetz, Dave Baker, Harry Kroeker and Kurt Christopherson are in Vancouver this week at the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference. The conference got started on Monday and the group from city hall met with a few ministers to discuss various projects. Coun. Mike Goetz said they met with Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson on Monday to discuss the city’s desire to purchase 100 acres of land behind the bench area that the city has been looking into for about a year. Goetz said the city would like to bring in more technological-related industries into town. Not wanting to locate those industries in an industrial area, the city is looking to purchase the land behind the bench area for future development.
“Our request is a fairly simple one, we’re just looking to purchase some land,” Goetz said. “We’re not asking for a gift or anything like that.” The cost of the land is based on market value, Merritt Mayor Susan Roline said. Once the province gives them the approval to purchase, the city would need to get three appraisals of land and the average cost would determine the value, she said. Roline said they also talked about the Gateway 286 project with Thomson, mentioning the city’s already invested over $2 million in infrastructure to service the area and are eager to see the project move forward as that investment is deteriorating. Roline also attended the fourth meeting of the BC Mayors Caucus, which brought together 124 mayors from around the province. “Our largest attendance yet,” Roline said.

UBCM to vote on city-driven resolutions today By Michael Potestio THE HERALD
reporter@merrittherald.com
Representatives from Merritt are sponsoring a couple of resolutions at the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference in Vancouver this week, which could help eliminate a hurdle in the Gateway 286 project. “We’re looking up at the [Gateway] 286 project, and there’s land up there that we want to use that is still governed by the ALR [Agricultural Land Reserve],” Coun. Mike Goetz said. It is also more commonly referred to as the ALC (Agricultural Land Commission) and its goal is to ensure agricul-
tural land is maintained for agricultural purposes, he said. The resolution would call on the provincial government to establish a process to recognize that drawbacks to local governments outweigh the potential benefits of retaining certain lands deemed unsuitable to reserve for agriculture. The resolution involves the Agricultural Land Commission Act and Agricultural Land Reserve Regulations and aims to change the regulations pertaining to these lands. Another Merritt-sponsored resolution pertaining to ALC lands would simplify the process and time it takes to gain approval and
remove those lands from the ALC. Goetz said their resolution would make the acquisition of agricultural lands for non-agricultural purposes easier. Both Merritt-sponsored resolutions will be voted on today. He said the land involved in the Gateway 286 project is nonfarmable. “There really is no agricultural concern up there because nothing grows up there except tumbleweed,” Goetz said, adding in all his years in Merritt he’s never seen anything but weeds growing there. Goetz said due to the large number of resolutions, multiple resolutions will often be rolled into one “block” and voted on
together. Given the non-contentious nature of their resolution, Goetz said he can’t see it failing to pass. “And it’s not just Gateway 286. What we’re trying to do is we’re trying to make that process more available and easier for everybody in the province and that’s why we brought it forward,” Goetz said. Merritt Mayor Susan Roline said this resolution will also help future growth with other lands that fit this description. Goetz and Roline said they’ve received a lot of support on the resolution from other communities that have run into these types of situations. “It’s not hard to figure out that
this kind of thing holds communities back for years,” Goetz said. A simpler application process would cut down on the time it takes to go through a process to get the land off the ALC, which can take years, Goetz said. Though this resolution won’t solve all the problems associated with Gateway 286, it will knock down at least one hurdle in Merritt. “You get a process where you say ‘OK, this is unusable land, we’ll just automatically take it out of ALR and it becomes Crown land, which is much easier to move into a project than ALR land,’” Goetz said.

They love the taste, but not too much spice,� he says with a laugh. Bains attributes that customerfirst focus and his marketing savvy to also working in the entertainment industry as a music producer and show promoter for Indian artists. “My other business is meeting people every day, talking to them,� he explains. Although he wants to branch out and establish more restaurants in the Interior, Bains says his plans in Merritt are long-term and the friendly people he’s encountered here have eased his transition from Surrey. “I’ll stay in Merritt for a long time,� he says, calling it the root of his business.

Warming up for new concert series By Emily Wessel THE HERALD
newsroom@merrittherald.com
The Nicola Valley Community Arts Council is kicking off its 2013-14 concert series with a concert by Shari Ulrich on Friday. The B.C.-based singersongwriter said she’s looking forward to making a reappearance in Merritt after a decade-long absence. Friday’s show was made possible by keeping in touch with members of the arts council for all those years, she said. “We’ve been trying to find another opportunity ever since,” she said. “The timing was now.” The Juno-award-winning musician is bringing decades of music along with her, and tunes from a new record. She’ll also have accordion player Ted Littlemore in tow, which she said adds a new dimension to her performances. “He’s 22 years old. It’s wonderful to have that multi-generational aspect of it,” she said. That multi-generational aspect of Ulrich’s career is reflected on her next album, which was produced by her daughter, who’s working on her masters in music at McGill University. “I was her term project last term. That meant I had to write a whole lot of music very quick-
ly. I’ve never done that before. I think I write better with that kind of deadline,” Ulrich said. Ulrich said the unspoken understanding they have as mother and daughter made the work process easy. “There was so much that we didn’t have to say. We work so well together professionally. I’ve always loved having her on the road and at shows,” Ulrich said. “Having this added dimension of her producing and engineering the album, I certainly never saw that coming.” With 19 albums already behind her and another two on the way — one solo and one with bluegrass band High Bar Gang — Ulrich said the audience at Friday’s show can expect plenty of new songs and some classics that people will know from her over the years. But this music industry veteran isn’t letting her impressive discography weigh her down; Ulrich said she’s always looking for new challenges. “When I’m asked to do things, I’m always scared, and I always say yes and it’s never backfired,” she said. The multi-instrumentalist said she’s looking forward to releasing her new record with a label. “That’s going to be different than the way I’ve done it for the

And in the meantime, Ulrich said she finds support in her family and fans. “I was just born with a good ear and met people in my early 20s who recognized that and encouraged me to play music, and I haven’t looked back,” she said. “It’s been a fantastic life.”

Mayor’s DROP IN SESSION WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 25
Pipeline, cold weather shelter hot topics so far From Page 1 At the meeting, she said she and her fellow mayors learned the power of a mayor’s role in the Community Charter and Local Government Act is broader than most of them realized. One thing that surprised her was the mayor has the power to refuse to sign off on a bylaw before it’s enacted. “If I had valid reasons why I didn’t support it, I could hold off on signing it,” she said, noting council would then have to decide if they were going to revise the bylaw. On Tuesday, the Merritt representatives also met with Premier Christy Clark and discussed the twinning of the Kinder Morgan pipeline. Roline told the Herald Kinder Morgan has 8.7 kilometres of pipeline that runs through the city limits. “That line is starting to age. It’s 60 years old now, and so it’s impor-
‘‘
tant for them to keep good maintenance on it,” Roline, said, noting the pipeline is safer than having tanker trucks travelling the highways instead. The Merritt group also met with Housing Minister Rich Coleman on Tuesday regarding social housing and their desire to have the province reinstate funding for the cold weather shelter program, Goetz said. He said they brought statistics from people who work with Merritt’s homeless as well as statistics from Merritt’s cold weather shelter from last year. Coleman, in turn, will be giving the Merritt delegates information on funding for a cold weather shelter and where they are at with renewing the program. Goetz said Coleman seemed very receptive to reinstating cold weather shelter funding from the province, which was pulled two years ago. “They would give ‘X’ amount of dollars

to every community where you could rent a church, a building or whatever, put down eight beds and people who were homeless when it’s below minus 10 can have a place to go,” Goetz said. “Well, two years ago, they just pulled it. No more funding. And you can’t do that, you can’t just say, ‘That’s it, we’re out,’ especially when you have homeless people because you don’t want somebody freezing to death,” Goetz said. Goetz said with cold weather looming, they’ll likely hear back from the province

quickly on renewed funding. For the last two years, funding for Merritt’s cold weather shelter has come from the city and other local sources, and relies heavily on volunteers. “The province has to get back to funding cold weather shelters, they have to. It’s not a wish, it’s a priority,” Goetz said. He said there was a resolution on this at last year’s UBCM, which was approved overwhelmingly, but said the province probably didn’t act on it because there was an election. Goetz said these meetings with ministers are a good opportunity to call their attention to local issues. “Basically, they commit to nothing, and you tell them what you’re looking for, they accept it and then you
tell them the reasoning why and then they accept that, but they don’t say yes, they don’t say no. They hold their cards pretty close to their chests, but at least you’ve got your point forward,” Goetz said, noting the talks put the issues on ministers’ radar. He said once having a meeting, the minister has to deal with the issue. “And that’s why when we come to UBCM, we meet with several ministers because once we talk with him, the minister and his staff have to deal with our questions. You’ve got to remember there are 2,000 delegates here all asking questions to ministers, so it takes a little bit of time,” Goetz said. The representatives from city hall will be meeting with more ministers today.

Resolution could help move stalled project From Page 1 Once a resolution is passed, the provincial government may look into the matter. “If they’re passed by UBCM or endorsed by UBCM, they all go to the province and the province has to decide what they’re going
to do with them, and they may do nothing with them. But most of the time they act on them and we get a report usually around Christmas, maybe January, about what went [and] what didn’t go,” Goetz said. When dealing with these resolutions, it’s key to involve
the community’s MLA and get updates on the status of the resolution with the government, Goetz said. About 155 resolutions were brought to UBCM by various communities in B.C., the lowest amount since 2001, according to a report from the 2013 resolutions committee.

HERALD OPINION Bills come due at BC Hydro By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS tfletcher@blackpress.ca
VICTORIA – When Christy Clark became premier in 2011, one of her first priorities was to delay steep increases in BC Hydro rates. BC Hydro was heading to the B.C. Utilities Commission to apply for rate increases totalling 32 per cent over three years. This, obviously, was a problem for an unelected premier whose single message was that she was good for families, and who faced an election in two years. The government’s Mr. Fix-It, Rich Coleman, first tried to delay a couple of expensive seismic upgrades, adding to the long history of political fiddles that pushed off expensive problems. BC Hydro’s engineers soon convinced him that if the creaky old Ruskin and Campbell River dams were to bust in a quake, it wouldn’t be good for families downstream. Coleman scraped up some internal savings in the vast utility and met Clark’s pre-determined target of keeping rate increases below four per cent in the pre-election period. Mission accomplished, as George W. Bush might have said. Then last week, an August working paper on the need for BC Hydro rate hikes was leaked. It showed BC Hydro making a case for new increases totaling 26 per cent over two years. The leak came via the Canadian Office and Professional Employees local 378, the BC Hydro inside staff union that has a history of mostly juvenile attacks on the B.C. Liberal government. Bill Bennett, the current energy minister, spent the next couple of days repeating to anyone who would listen that this initial proposal had already been rejected, and that work was well along to make the rate increase more palatable. Perhaps it’s back to where it was in 2011. COPE 378 and the NDP played their rehearsed roles. Both tried to blame the situation on private power contracts. The union and its political front are less concerned about rising power bills than they are about holding onto the state monopoly on electricity generation. Bennett now acknowledges that gas-fired power plants are an option for the future. They are cheaper than hydro, small or large. Bennett’s two tasks are to supply industry with cheap power and get consumer rates under control. It looks as if the gas is being turned up, and Site C is moving to the back burner.

not already know. In Merritt, there are so many organizations and societies and notfor-profit groups that whatever your interests are, there has got to be a group for you. I’ve heard the plea for volunteers and members from many of these groups, and encourage you to do some research to find a group that suits your fancy. Some aspects of volunteering are work, no doubt. But it should be a rewarding experience, not a burden. It doesn’t necessarily require full-time hours; many groups and organizations are looking for people to dedicate just a couple of hours per week on a regular basis. Volunteers often tell me they feel rewarded
Sports writer Ian Webster sports@ merrittherald.com
by the work they do because they know they’re giving back, and because the people they benefit take notice and show gratitude. Showing and receiving gratitude goes a long way toward increasing happiness. Volunteering also allows people to establish fulfilling social networks outside of their usual realms. In my job, I hear all kinds of stories from all kinds of people, and I find it truly fascinating. But not everybody has a job that routinely takes them out of their comfort zones. Finding people who have similar interests while exploring them in a new setting can lead to new friends and a broader appreciation of the very place you live.

YOUR OPINION Merrittonians weigh in on city hall Dear Editor,
Dear Editor,
I have been following the interminable and protracted foibles of this council since the 2011 election and, I must say, the picture isn’t pretty. How does one justify elected officials fighting in public and presumably in-camera, taking their issues out of the political arena and quite literally, into the streets, treating each other with disrespect, disdain, and contempt and generally making a mockery of anything that can be ruled a functional municipal body elected to govern? To a number of council members, I say: grow up, move on or resign. You were elected to govern, not to behave like a bunch of buffoons. It is very disrespectful for you to continue in this vein, and with an impending byelection, what citizen(s) in their right mind(s) would want to sit on this council? Few, if any, I would suggest. We have heard the rumblings, we have witnessed the shoddy, immature behaviours, we have been privy to struggles for power and control that seem to override what local or municipal government is about, namely the care and governance of the community. As a former council member, I am nothing short of appalled by what is currently going on with the mayor and council. To those members of council responsible for most of the problems, I say: either play by the rules, play as team members, behave rationally, conduct yourselves with dignity or take your ball and go home. In other words, quit. Now to the citizens of Merritt, I say: make your vote count at the next election. Get involved. Attend council meetings. Phone council. Email council. Ask to meet with council and/or the mayor. Make your voices heard. Go out and recruit people to run for the mayor and council positions and, above all get out the vote! Given the current state of affairs with our elected civic politicians, I am embarrassed to even mention to anyone I am from Merritt. The political climate at city hall is simply not conducive to getting the business of the city done. If there has to be a major upset of this council come election time, so be it. To those on council trying to save a sinking ship, I say, good luck. The Titanic was thought to be unsinkable too. Nonetheless, I admire those on council who have chosen the high road in this whole mess. It must be stressful for you. Enough said. For the good of our city, mayor and council get a grip on your egos, your personalities, your questionable demeanour and get going. There is much work to be done, and our tax dollars are being squandered as you continue to quarrel and bicker among yourselves. We pay you to make decisions, not to spare with each other. Remember, the citizens of Merritt are not stupid and will not accept the continued lacklustre, insipid performance of a few council members come election time. At the end of this three year term, salaries for our elected officials will have approached nearly $300,000, including two byelections. Ask yourselves, as citizens and voters, if you want to pay this price for what appears to be a highly dysfunctional group of people who are, de facto, your elected representatives. Your mayor and council. Surely, we as taxpayers deserve better than this.
Re: Tempers flare at, after council meeting, Sept. 12 in the Merritt Herald
Bonnie M. Cowan Former council member Merritt
To be frank, I’m losing patience with Coun. Harry Kroeker over what appears to be a personal vendetta against her Worship Mayor Susan Roline. I find it despicable that he would continually interrupt regular council meetings, where city business is supposedly being debated, to launch his attacks at the mayor. So he did not like the fact that he learned through the media that the city hired a new financial advisor instead of being personally briefed on it. Don’t we have more pressing problems than how council is informed of the hiring of city staff ? That seems to be Mr. Kroeker’s excuse to have another public show of ill will towards the mayor. His obvious animosity toward Mayor Roline started back when she insisted to enforce a court ruling about conflict of interest of elected officials serving on boards of not-for-profit-organizations.
Susan Roline did her job as mayor when she enforced that court decision but it seems Mr. Kroeker felt that someone trampled on his toes and that he needed to publicly ridicule the mayor’s decision to uphold the law. Personally speaking, I have a lot more confidence in Mayor Susan Roline than in most of our city councillors. I find that Susan Roline so far has done an excellent job as our mayor and above all she seems to take the oath of office very seriously; I can’t say I feel the same way about some of her councillors. If Harry Kroeker cannot find it in his heart to stop the continued attacks on the mayor then perhaps it is he who should consider giving himself some free time from his position. Right now it is he who distracts the order of business and drives a wedge between the council members and the community. Othmar Vohringer Merritt
Dear Editor, Something has to be done with this present city council. With all the positive things happening in this community, we read in our local paper about and witness on a live telecast a childish outbreak in chambers. To make it worse, this is not the first time such behaviour has been shown. The elected officials of our city have to be told what many in this town are really thinking. They were elected and took oaths to run this city the very best they can. A great many do not think they have been doing that. For the past several months, it seems, at least in newspaper and radio coverage, that more time has been spent on personal agenda and infighting within council than on the important matters that are needed to run this city ‘properly.’ By ‘properly’ I mean in a professional and adult-like manner. This latest incident is pretty much the last straw for me. It really caps all the news stories and rumours that have been circulating for all those months. I find this all truly embarrassing. The pettiness must stop. Enough is truly enough. As a business owner in Merritt, I have to be concerned about the image our city sends, and this is completely the wrong image. How can business owners and residents of Merritt be satisfied with what is going on? The timing of this type of behaviour could not be worse. Merritt is on the verge of economic growth and yet the message being sent to
those interested in coming here is our council does not care about its image or that of the city itself. I personally know most of council and individually I think they are good people. As a group, for reasons I cannot fathom, they do not work well together. In the incident last week, why was the matter of the city’s representation on the TNRD even brought up, especially, during a public meeting? It was obvious the matter was going to do little more than antagonize others on council and have the meeting deteriorate into the story it has. I was shocked at the lack of respect to protocol shown to our mayor but even more importantly to the position she represents. All of our elected officials should be asking themselves if they are doing their best for this city. If the answer is anything but yes, then they should revamp their efforts. Whether they like it or not, they should find the common ground needed to ‘properly’ run this city, and put this infighting behind them. The only matters that should be of concern are those they were elected to do. The electorate should expect nothing less then a council that looks after the best interests of Merritt. If that does not happen, then a little over a year from now they should show their opinion at the ballot box. Doug Beech Merritt

Fire office plans busy Forest Week By Michael Potestio THE HERALD
reporter@merrittherald.com
With the new Wildfire Management Training Centre facility up and running, training courses are ongoing as the wildfire season dies down. Kyle Young, forest protection assistant for the Merritt Fire Zone, said the firefighters will likely be laid off for the fire season at the end of the month, depending on fire activity — which has been slow in the Merritt Fire Zone lately. “It’s been pretty quiet,” Young said. The ICS 300 course is ongoing at the Merritt Fire Zone, Fire Information Officer Kayla Pepper told the Herald. The course establishes lines of supervisory authority and formal reporting relationships. There is unity of command as each position
and person within the system has a designated supervisor. There is also the National Ignition Specialist course taking place next month. That course is designed to provide a standard curriculum for all ignition specialists in Canada. The curriculum for this course involves aerial ignition equipment operational training, ignition approval processes and operating procedures, checklists and restrictions. Baseball tourney this weekend The Wildfire Management Branch will hold its annual forestry services Trevor Schmidt Memorial baseball tournament on Friday and Saturday at Central Park.

ing out to camp in the field outside the former Nicola Fire Base. There, the Cents and firefighters will engage in some teambuilding activities and some fitness training. Young said they will participate in some firefighting training exercises, such as carrying gear up a hill and a simulation of the firefighters’ fitness test. The two teams will work together on the Tom Lacey Legacy Trail for the remainder of the day on Wednesday. He said they have about twoand-a-half kilometres of the trail complete so far. Young said he thinks the hockey players may be surprised at what it takes to be a firefighter, and hopes it encourages some of them to consider applying to be firefighters in the future.

Be bear aware this fall Garbage, unpicked fruit, bird feeders, pet food, and small livestock are all bear attractants. WildSafeBC reports bear-related calls are down about 20 per cent

Public comments on liquor reform accepted until Oct. 31 By Tom Fletcher

BLACK PRESS
LAWYERS
tfletcher@blackpress.ca
VICTORIA – The B.C. government’s consultation on liquor reform has begun with a debate about allowing alcoholic beverage sales in grocery stores. “Washington state is the model I favour,” a Lower Mainland resident wrote Monday on the B.C. government’s new consultation website. “No government involvement in retailing – period. Just enforce the legal drinking age.” The B.C. government’s point man on liquor reform, Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap, posted his own comments on the subject Monday. Yap warned that while opening up alcohol sales is a popular suggestion, “it certainly isn’t as straightforward as it may seem.” Yap noted that beer, wine and spirits are already sold in rural grocery stores that are licensed because their service area isn’t big enough to warrant a government retail store. In urban areas, he questioned whether alcoholic beverages should be

sold from convenience stores and gas stations, larger grocery stores, or big-box retailers. “When this topic comes up in my meetings with health, safety and law-and-order advocates, the question will surely become that already we see 30 per cent of late-night attendees at a typical B.C. emergency depart-
ment report alcohol consumption in the six hours prior to their injury or illness,” Yap said. “If we make it more available for the sake of convenience, will we see rates like this rise?” The government is inviting public comments until Oct. 31 at the website gov.bc.ca/ liquorpolicyreview. The

site also lists submissions from health care, police and alcoholic beverage industry representatives. The current review continues a remake of B.C. liquor policy that began in 2002, when cold beer and wine stores were allowed to sell spirits, and a 10-year moratorium on new private store licences was lifted.
When the consultation was launched in August, Yap said licenses for serving craft beer or local wine at farmers’ markets would be considered. Pubs also want to allow under-aged children in with their parents for lunch, putting them on a level playing field with licensed restaurants.

NICOLA VALLEY NEWS
Should B.C. ban trapping? OTHMAR VOHRINGER The OUTDOORSMAN I got the idea for this column after giving an interview to Q101. In the interview, I was asked about my take on trapping and the anti-trapping petitions that are being circulated in Merritt, among other towns. After the interview I came to the conclusion that there is more to be said about the issue than can be said in two minutes on the radio. In order for petitions to effect change to a particular law, they need several thousand signatures and they all must be from eligible British Columbia voters and not, as is often the case with animal rightsengineered petitions, minors and foreigners. Often, animal rights activists attempt to gain momentum for their agendas by using emotional appeals (think Bambi) to bring their ideas across. To do that,
animal rights activists are often willing to fabricate information or grossly exaggerate. Claims about phone calls from throughout the region to the petitioner regarding pet dogs having been killed or badly injured in traps have not turned up in police and conservation office reports. Would a distressed pet owner, in the face of such a scenario, search the phone book for animal shelters in Merritt instead of calling 911? I find such an idea farfetched. Pursuant to the Wildlife Act, a person commits a serious offence to let a dog hunt or pursue wildlife, except as it is in accordance with existing regulations. A supervised dog is not likely to get caught in a trap unless the owner of the animal is negligent and allows it to roam at will. As a means of “non-violent” wildlife control, animal rights groups often propose short-sighted ideas in jurisdictions that find favour with them. But what they don’t mention in these proposals is that most “non-violent” measures they advocate do not
actually offer solutions to wildlife population control. When we lived in Langley, the town was approached by an animal rights group and persuaded to choose their solution of reducing the overpopulation and consequent problems of beaver activity. Instead of allowing trappers to come in and remove the surplus animals permanently, they chose to trap and relocate the beavers into other areas where they no doubt carried on as before. They continued to dam up canals and clog drainage pipes in other parts of the community. This was a hugely expensive “non-violent beaver management program” that simply put the problem off for two years. The city reversed its earlier decision and hired trappers to do the job correctly. So should trapping be banned in British Columbia? Absolutely not! When we discuss wildlife management we need to approach it from a scientific aspect, not an emotional aspect, if we want to have any measure of balance. The reason why Canada and America are so successful in
wildlife management — at a minimal cost to taxpayers — is because we realized that hunting and trapping are the only effective methods of wildlife management and conservation. For those who worry about the “humane” aspect of hunting and trapping, it is far more humane than any methods Mother Nature applies.

Friends & Neighbours Gift or loan: protect your child’s inheritance Smits will say see you later — not goodbye — to Merritt DAVID L. BROWN Managing YOUR MONEY You want your children to benefit equitably from your estate – and you want your legacy plan to include distribution methods that minimize taxes and fees while passing on maximum value to your beneficiaries. There are four basic estate distribution methods to choose from and each has advantages and disadvantages: • Gifting assets before death • Inter vivos trusts • Distributing assets through your will • Distributing assets on death outside your will Each of these options requires careful consideration but let’s look inside the ‘gifting option’ because it could lead to an unintended reduction in your child’s inheritance. Generally speaking, when you gift assets by passing them to your beneficiaries while you are still alive your estate can usually avoid certain administration and probate fees in common law jurisdictions. However, a capital gain may result when you transfer capital assets worth more than you paid for it – meaning you would pay the taxable portion of the capital gain. Typically, any future growth in the value of the gifted asset will be taxed in the hands of the recipient – except in cases where you gift incomeproducing property to your spouse or minor children, in which case the income may be attributed back to you.
Also, by gifting the asset to someone else, you lose control of it. Let’s say that instead of ‘gifting’ an asset to your child, you decide to provide money they can use now to help with buying a home or for any other reason, or as an advance loan on their future inheritance. In your will, you should clearly state how you wish that ‘loan’ to be treated at the time of your death: Forgive it, demand repayment, or have the amount of the loan deducted from that child’s share of your estate. If your choice is to reduce your child’s share of your estate by the amount of the ‘loan’, you must keep careful records of the amount(s) you provided to your child. If your choice is to provide a ‘living’ gift with no
strings attached, leave explicit directions to that effect in your will, otherwise the loan or gift may be considered an advance on the child’s inheritance which will result in a reduction in the amount of that inheritance. It’s also a good idea to formalize any financial transactions with your child. A formal ‘promissory note’ proves that your child received ‘borrowed money’ and can help to protect the amount of the ‘loan’ or anything purchased with it (such as a home or property) from creditors or in the event of a marriage breakdown by assuring the amount of the loan must be repaid to you before your child’s assets are attached or split. You want your lega-
cy to be left exactly as you wish – that’s why you should take the time to talk with your lawyer or professional advisor.

After 15 years in Merritt, the time is right for Dr. Andries Smit and wife Twiny to move on — but not before they have the right person in place to take over his practice. “It’s not that we’re going to be gone tomorrow,” Twiny explains. “We are looking for somebody who is like-minded and with the same philosophy as Andries rather than just finding anybody to replace us. We obviously have a large practice, and we realize that people are going to be concerned about how they will manage without a doctor.” Twiny said although their departure is inevitable, they want to reassure their patients they won’t be deserted or left stranded. The move comes as the couple enters a new phase of their family life, with their children living in New York and Scotland. “It’s just a combination of things that boiled down to this decision,” Twiny

Dr. Andries Smit is looking for a replacement to take over his practice at 2035 Charters St.
said. “We realize how much we’re missing the children and how tied down we are to not really be able to see them.” Andries also wants to spend more time in their native South Africa with his parents, Twiny said. Once their Merritt home sells, the couple still plans to be connected with Merritt. Twiny said they will be based out of Sun Peaks and her husband wants to return to do locums (filling in for doctors temporarily) when he’s needed, which she said also fulfills a need in the community for relief for many of the city’s atcapacity doctors. “The other doctors can’t get holiday time when they want to. It’s always been a problem to find
somebody to replace them in the meantime,” she said. However, she said, the most important thing is finding a suitable replacement. “We are putting feelers out there and talking to people who would appreciate Merritt in the same manner and who would make Merritt home as they did.” They are hoping it will happen in the next six to 12 months, but are in no rush as of right now, Twiny said. “If it happens, great, but the main concern is to find somebody who can replace us rather than leaving everybody stranded and panicking. “Merritt has been very good for us and we consider Merritt home,” she added.

God
the Word, the World
By Herman Kneller
they lost sight of Him. What a sad time that must have been for His followers for they were losing their Jesus, whom they loved and who loved them. Now what? Suddenly, a couple of angels appeared to them and told them that this same Jesus whom they knew, who had just gone out of their sight, would come back as they had seen Him go up. They would see Him and know Him. This was good news for Jesus’ people to know that they would see Him again. Revelation 1:7 says, “Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him.� Those people who had Him put to death, and all those who took part will be resurrected to see Jesus come. But, to them, it will be a very scary sight for they will know that they were wrong.

RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS Sisters Autumn and April Morel, 13 and 11, donated $120 to the Soup Bowl that they raised from a lemonade stand in front of their house in mid-August. Soup Bowl organizers Pam and Ernie Whitaker said the money will be used for general operations. As for the girls’ reason for raising the money? “Just to practice a random act of kindness,� Autumn said. Emily Wessel/Herald
When J Wh Jesus was getting tti ti near the time of His death, he told His disciples, “I go to prepare a place for you, then I will come back to take you with me so that where I am, so you can be.� What kind of a place will he prepare for you? Some kind of shack? Looking at what Jesus did and how He treated people when He was here, we can expect comfortable places to live. Let’s look at what the city looks like. The city walls are built of beautiful stones. With these beautiful city walls and streets of gold, we can expect nice living places. I don’t think it would take Him long to prepare a place to call home, and when all is done He will come again. One day Jesus had His followers gather on a hill then suddenly, as He talked to them, they noticed that He was getting taller. Then they saw Him going up. Up, up until

Being overweight is bad for your back By Dr. Colin Gage
HERALD COLUMNIST Nicola Valley Chiropractic
It is common knowledge that being overweight is not good for your back or your overall health. Even with that in mind, over 40 per cent of the general population is overweight enough to be considered clinically obese. As with any chiropractor’s office, I have patients who enter my office repetitively over the years for acute low back pain. Although the specific incidents or accidents that can result in low back pain are usually different for each patient, there is often a common characteristic among many of them. I am referring to the patients who are in the clinically obese category and have a large percentage of their body fat stored in the abdominal region. For many people, this is a serious problem and I always encourage them to address it. When an obese male or female, or even a pregnant female, is carrying a lot of extra weight in her or his abdominal region, the low back is put under much greater stress than normal. The pressure on the joints, muscles, disks, and ligaments is dramatically increased. Also, when people are overweight, their levels of activity are generally lower than if they were not overweight. If there is a lack of exercise in a person’s lifestyle, the low back problems will be
amplified even further. When sitting or standing, the gravitational forces on a large abdomen will pull it in a forward and downward direction. This is just simple gravity not working in our favor. To compensate for this, we have to lean backward with our lower and upper back. The force of us leaning backwards counteracts the force of the abdomen pulling forward. Unfortunately, when we lean backwards, the concave curve in the low back is increased dramatically. This compresses the joints in the lower back, which reduces how much the individual joints are able to move. The more compressed the joints are, the more likely they are to become stiff or even injured during what should normally be an easy task. If this is combined with a lack of exercise, the muscles are generally deconditioned and are not able to assist in supporting the back. The “disks” are located between each of the vertebrae of the spine. They are made up of a ligament material and have a center of “jelly-like fluid.” After long periods of increased compression force from bearing the extra abdominal weight, the disks begin to wear out. At first, they acquire little tears in the ligament material. Then they begin to lose their thickness and their ability to
act as shock absorbers. This can be viewed on an X-ray as the space between the vertebrae being decreased. When enough little tears in the disk have occurred, the jelly-like material begins to push outwards from the centre and form a bulge in the disk. If severe enough, the nerves exiting from the spinal cord will become pinched. This will eventually lead to an array of symptoms, all of which usually include lots of pain. To prevent this from happening in your back, there are two things you must first address. Firstly, you have to lose the extra weight you are carrying in your abdominal region. This will take the pressure off your back and decrease the excess curvature in your spine. The second thing you must do is exercise regularly so that the number of calories you burn in a day is more than the number of calories you consume. Also, when you exercise, the muscles in your abdominal and lower back region will become stronger and
support the ligaments and joints in the lower back even that much more. If you do have a large abdominal region and your low back is sore, a chiropractor can still help you. However, if you continue to not participate in regular exercise and don’t get the weight problem under control, the lower back pain will inevitably reoccur. I would also suggest that if you need to make changes in your diet, you pursue the services of the local dietitian at the hospital. She will be able to help you choose the foods that are lower in calories so that the total number of calories you consume in a day will decrease. I would also recommend that you seek the services of a certified personal trainer. He or she can design an exercise program for you that meet your specific needs and has a large cardiovascular endurance component. Simply lifting weights will not allow you to burn calories and lose weight. You have to do exercise that increases

your heart rate and maintains it there for longer periods of time. Once you have made the appropriate changes to your diet and have commenced your exercise program, your back will still require a little assistance. The chiropractor is well trained to get those stiff and tight joints in your lower back moving smoothly and freely again. Also, it is a good idea that you let your medical doctor know that you are starting an exercise program to see if he or she has any objections or concerns. The changes in your lifestyle that I am talking about are for the long term and not for the short term. If you are successful, not only will you experience less severe and less frequent back pain, you’ll also feel healthier and be able to accomplish more physical activities than you could before. If you have any further questions regarding weight loss, an exercise program, or chiropractic care of low back pain, please don’t hesitate to call my office.

Merritt’s woes against West Kelowna continue Cents lose both ends of a weekend home-and-home series with the Warriors By Ian Webster THE HERALD
sports@merrittherald.com
Time to push the panic button? Probably not. Nevertheless, this year’s edition of the Merritt Centennials needed to do a bit of a gut check on the heels of a pair of defeats to the West Kelowna Warriors on the weekend. The final scores were much closer than the games themselves as the Cents fell 3-2 to the Warriors on Friday night at Royal LePage Place in West Kelowna, then bowed to the Shielded Ones 4-3 in front of 750 disappointed fans at the Nicola Valley Memorial Arena in Merritt’s home opener on Saturday. The two weekend losses to their Connector rivals brings the Cents’ record against the Warriors to 1-7-1-3 in their last 12 meetings dating back to the beginning of last season. West Kelowna unceremoniously ousted Merritt from the first round of the 2012-13 playoffs in five games. Friday’s first meeting of the new season
was a blowout, despite what the scoreboard said after 60 minutes. The Warriors were consistently first to the puck all night, won nearly all the one-on-one battles, and simply executed better in earning the victory. The home side showed more heart, more grit and more determination than the visitors, who displayed little enthusiasm in their warm-up and let that lack of emotion carry over to the game itself. Had it not been for the heroics of Centennials’ netminder Devin Kero, who stopped 39 of 42 shots thrown at him, this baby could have been put to bed early. The rookie puckstopper from Michigan kept his team in the game all night with numerous stellar saves against a Warriors squad that just kept coming in waves. Diminutive Cents’ killer Ambrose Firkus opened the scoring for West Kelowna with a powerplay tally at 8:56 of the first period. The Warriors upped their lead to two at 1:58 of

rebound while his team enjoyed the man advantage. West Kelowna restored their two-goal lead late in the second period, while Sam

It was just what the doctor ordered. After being called out by the coaching staff following two disappointing losses to the West Kelowna Warriors on the weekend, the Merritt Centennials took their medicine and got better. Led by the threegoal performance
of veteran Scotty Patterson and a brilliant goaltending effort from rookie Devin Kero, the Cents trounced the Trail Smoke Eaters 5-0 on Tuesday NIGHT at the Cominco Arena. Oher Merritt goals came from Jeff Wight and Gavin Gould. “We challenged [the players] significantly,” Cents head coach and GM Luke Pierce said in
his post-game interview with Q101’s play-byplay announcer Dustin Scafe. “We told them that places were wide open on our roster, and that if young guys wanted to step up and take over, there were minutes to be had. Our top-end guys hadn’t really established themselves up to this point.”

scored for Merritt on a strange spin-o-rama shot from the left face-off circle that undoubtedly reminded local fans of former Centennial Dustin Johnson and his penchant for shooting anytime from anywhere. After a scoreless and fairly evenly-played second period, West Kelowna tallied three of the next four goals. Only former Trail Smoke Eater Shane Poulsen could reply for Merritt, again on the powerplay. With just over three minutes left in the game, and with the Cents enjoying a two-man advantage, Wight notched his second of the game, beating a sprawling Andy Desautels in the Warriors’ net from in close.

Johnson replied for Merritt a little over five minutes into the third. Any chances of a lategame comeback by the Centennials were pretty well snuffed out by three poor Merritt penalties in the final 10 minutes. While the Cents’ effort on home ice Saturday was definitely better, it still was not enough to earn them a win. Once again, Merritt’s start was listless, and the Warriors were allowed to dictate the pace of the first period. Puck possession time continued to be an issue with West Kelowna appearing to own the Cents’ zone for inordinate amounts of time, and Merritt netminder Russell Sanderson having to be especially sharp. The two teams traded powerplay goals in the opening 20 minutes. Jeff Wight

Pierce not pleased with teams’ effort From Page 28 That was as close as it would get in Saturday’s game, as West Kelowna would leave town with a sweep of the teams’ two-game series. Reflecting on the pair of weekend losses and his team’s slow start to the season (1-30), Centennials head coach and GM Luke Pierce conceded that part of the issue was his players simply needed to play harder. “Saturday, we gave up four goals, and three of them were from lack of effort. That’s simply not acceptable.” In defence of his team, however, Pierce also stated that many of this year’s players
are fitting into new positions and it’s going to take some time. “There’s a lot of guys still trying to figure out their role, whether it be within our so-called top-six forwards or our bottom six. “Our most effective group so far has been the Sam JohnsonRhett Willcox-Daniel Nachbaur line because all three of those players are fulfilling roles they’re used to and are comfortable with.” Summarizing his two major points, Pierce said, “Players make mistakes because they don’t know what their job entails. That’s one thing. But there’s no excuse for not working.”
BCRA FINALS IN QUESNEL The British Columbia Rodeo Association Finals were held in Quesnel on the weekend. (Right) Merritt’s Derek Mobbs and his horse Ringer finished fourth overall in the tie down roping event. Mobbs placed third in each of the first two rounds of competition, with times of 12.1 and 12.3 seconds respectively, but unfortunately missed his calf in the third and final round. (Above) Merritt’s Tracey Morris and her ride, Go Get A Check (a.k.a. George), finished in the middle of the pack in the ladies barrel racing event. Morris’s best time was a 16.441 in her second run.

Cents’ injuries mounting; Sanderson out 4-6 weeks Cavaliere conquers Cultus Lake Tri From Page 28 Pierce was pretty happy with how his team responded to the challenge against Trail. “I thought that the way that line of Scotty, Jeff and Sebastien [Pare] played tonight – if they can play that way on a consistent basis, they’re going to have a lot of success.” Pierce also had praise for a former Smoke Eater-turnedCentennial. “Shane Poulsen, there’s a guy whose name doesn’t normally jump off the page, but being in his old rink, he was excited tonight. He played a very simple, very smart game. He did a great job on the backend.” As for the effort of his winning netminder, Pierce said, “Devin
didn’t play on a very strong team last year, and that can be tough on a kid’s confidence. Goaltending is so mental. He’s done a very good job of staying positive, and I’ve told him our team is going to get better. I couldn’t be happier for him.” Looking ahead to Friday night and the rematch between the same two teams, Pierce said that his players can’t let up. “It’s just one win. We’re certainly not out of the woods. [Trail] is going to come in a lot tougher on Friday, and we’re going to have to be a lot better.”

end came at quite a cost. Goaltender Russell Sanderson took a wicked slapshot off the right shoulder from close quarters on Saturday and will be out four to six weeks with a fractured (not-so-funny) humerous bone.
Meanwhile, Tuesday night, both Diego Cuglietta and Rhett Willcox were forced to leave the game against the Smoke Eaters prematurely with ‘upper body injuries.’ Cuglietta broke his nose while Willcox sustained a concussion.
For the second year in a row, Merritt’s Lisa Cavaliere (right) has successfully completed the Cultus Lake triathlon, an Olympic-distance event that is held in the Fraser Valley on the second Sunday of September. Cavaliere, 31, completed the 1.5 kilometre swim in 37 minutes and 14 seconds, then rode the 40 kilometre bike course in one hour, 20 minutes and 18 seconds. The wife of Ironman-distance triathlon competitor Shayne Cavaliere, Lisa wrapped up the Cultus Lake event with a 10 kilometre run in one hour, 18 minutes and 27 seconds. Her total time of 3:21:55 placed Cavaliere eighth in her age group.
