HST B.C. anti-HST petition hits target

Why the HST now? British Columbia experiences financial crises, created by Premier Gordon Campbell and his government. Mr. Campbell had a serious drinking problem in the past, which could has made some damage to his brain?  Alcohol actually affects the whole brain; it's proven that alcohol will shrink a drinker's brain   Long-term effects of alcohol

When Premier Gordon Campbell mentions health and schools watch out. Another vision which includes some money from the Federal Government. He needs lots of money to pay for his past and present dumb moves. Up to 80 percent of alcoholics, however, have a deficiency in thiamine (15), and some of these people will go on to develop serious brain disorders such as WernickeKorsakoff syndrome (WKS) (16). WKS is a disease that consists of two separate syndromes, a shortlived and severe condition called Wernickes

Petitions you can sign:   Fight the HST    Stop the HST

HST tax grab may spell .....

FightHST.com  HARMONIZED TAX (HST) IS THE LAST THING WE NEED IN BC. We need some sustainable jobs ( creating income tax and consumer spending, and not another crippling tax). The HST means, starting July 1, 2010, consumers will be paying an extra seven per cent for some goods they weren’t required to pay PST for before, such as restaurant meals, bicycles and haircuts, to name just a few.

Sodium and your Health About 42 million adults, 20 percent of the population, have persistent high blood pressure (hypertension). About half of those with high blood pressure are sensitive to sodium and can reduce blood pressure by reducing sodium. Although some people can consume excessive levels of sodium without increased blood pressure, many cannot. Other risk factors for high blood pressure include excess weight, alcohol consumption, and a family history of high blood pressure.

Guenter Rieger, former mayor of Spallumcheen (1989-1996). Leadership rests not only upon ability, not only upon capacity; having the capacity is not enough. The leader must be willing to use it. Leadership is then based on truth and character. There must be truth in the purpose and will power in the character. "Vince Lombardi"

Flashback 1989-1996

The Township of Spallumcheen, BC

Former Mayor Guenter Rieger 1989 and the media

Spallumcheen, a farming community nestled in the North Okanangan, is the largest municipality in southeast British Columbia. Spallumcheen was incorporated on July 21, 1892 and covers over 64,000 acres of farmland. The city of Armstrong, an independent community incorporated in 1913, is situated in middle of Spallumcheen. Since that time, we have two independent communities, or two legal entities. Both communities have independent administrations, mayors and councils. Both communities, Spallumcheen and the City of Armstrong, sharing many responsibilities together, like the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Fire-Department, the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Park &Recreation Commission and many others. This is also applicable to almost all our service and social clubs. Members of both communities work very hard together, by serving both communities. In the summer time residents and tourists can buy produce and crafts from Spallumcheen and Armstrong farmers and residents, - visit - , at the Armstrong Farmer’s market, whichis a weekly attraction every Saturday. Just visit the web site of the Armstrong – Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce

"It was a privilege and honor serving the Township of Spallumcheen for two terms as mayor from 1989 to 1996. During my term, fiscal management made it possible, that residential tax rates did not increased.  During my term Spallumcheen taxpayers enjoyed the lowest tax rate in British Columbia, without losing any existing services. According to historians, I was  the first Canadian,  living only 5 years in Canada, being elected as mayor of a community".
