John Arendt Summerland Review
Larabelle the Clown puts the finishing touches on a balloon animal at the Canada Day celebrations in Memorial Park on Sunday. Canada Day festivities in Summerland were organized by the Summerland Legion and included entertainment, games and activities for children, a barbecue and cake.
Summerland has bus shelters but potential passengers will have a long wait before a scheduled bus service is in place. Municipal treasurer Ken Ostraat said discussions on a bus service have been in place for years, but no service is in the near future. At present, Summerland has a HandyDart service. The present system offers door-to-door service in Summerland and service to Penticton. The transit service must be booked in advance. The Penticton service runs once in the morning and once in the afternoon each day from Monday to Friday. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, additional service is in place for those who have medical appointments in Penticton. A taxi scrip program is also in place. Those using this program have coupons for half the cost of a taxi ride. While Summerland officials have repeatedly asked for the bus service, it has not been approved at present. However, other communities in the Okanagan have transit services in place. In the Central Okanagan, a regional service is in place, serving Kelowna and outlying communities. This means Lake Country residents and Peachland residents are both able to use transit to get into Kelowna. See COST Page 2
Search begins for administrator Top position at municipal hall has been vacant since January by John Arendt The municipality is preparing to hire a new chief administrative officer. Since Don DeGagne’s
departure from the role in January, Ken Ostraat, the municipal treasurer has taken on the administrator’s responsibilities in addition to the treasurer’s role. Mayor Janice Perrino said the dual role has put added pressure on Ostraat.
“We have certainly put a great deal of burden onto our acting CAO,” she said. The hiring process is expected to take up to six months. While the double role has been challenging, Perrino was impressed with Ostraat’s efforts.
The municipality will use the services of the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen for the recruitment process. Perrino said regional district staff have done hiring for other communities in the area. While past administrators have come from
municipal government positions, Perrino said people with other backgrounds may be considered this time. “We want to be a little more open in our thinking,” she said, adding that someone with a business background may be considered.

Summertime Cheer It has taken a while but it now looks like we are headed toward an Okanagan Summer. While not everyone is a total sun fanatic, we all enjoy the Okanagan for what it has become famous for. No matter what outdoor activity you enjoy, the holiday and summer season is time when everyone should take extra precautions when driving or traveling. Please be extra careful on the bust roads this summer. Arriving safely is far more important than getting there quickly. If you are going to enjoy more spirited beverages this summer, please take advantage of Designated Drivers and Taxis. Statistics very clearly show that there is an increase in Drinking and Driving during the summer season. Let's see a reversal of that trend. We will all be better off for it.

T-shirts sales to benefit Kripps by John Arendt Summerland’s Justin Kripps is selling T-shirts in order to raise money for his bobsleigh career. “I need to raise $5,000 just to pay for
my team dues for this year,” he said. In the past, the team dues had been paid for the team, but since Bobsleigh Canada lost a major sponsor, raising the money has fallen to
the athletes. Kripps, 25, has been a bobsleigh athlete since 2006, beginning as a push athlete on Pierre Lueders’ team. He is planning to compete as the driver in the 2014
Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. In addition to the team dues, Kripps said there are other costs involved in preparing for Olympiclevel bobsleigh competition.
Tr a i n ing costs are also expensive, since training continues through most of Justin the year. “ Y o u Kripps have to train for it if you want to be good enough at that level,” he said. The long training and competition schedule means Kripps cannot take on work except in the summer. Kripps was in the competition at the last Olympic games in Vancouver and Whistler in 2010. This year, he has
moved from a role as a brakeman on the team to become the driver. “There’s a lot more responsibility than when I was a brakeman — and a lot more expense,” he said. The shirts will be available in Summerland. They can also be ordered online at justinkripps.ca/store. Some have already
with the Summerland Asset Development Initiative. Connie Denesiuk, a member of the SADI board, said the arrangement will benefit the youth organization and Kripps. “He’s a fine example of working hard and working towards a goal. He’s a great model for the

Waiting for the bus The wait continues. Despite the studies, reports and even some vague promises from the province, Summerland still does not have anything but the most rudimentary scheduled transit service in place. Summerland has a HandyDart service, which offers door-to-door service in Summerland and a limited service to Penticton. But this service must be booked in advance and the bus schedule to Penticton is inconvenient for most. The delays have come at the provincial level and B.C. Transit has not yet approved the request for Summerland service. This is not a case of needing more information. A study was conducted in 2005 and 2006 and a report was presented in 2007. If anything, the need for the service has increased since that time. Transit is already a fact of life in Canada’s larger cities and, as fuel prices continue to increase, it simply makes good economic sense to have the bus as an option. Even some of our smaller communities have bus service. Nelson, with fewer people than Summerland, has a transit service. The same is true for Trail, Castlegar and Revelstoke, among other smaller B.C. communities. Elsewhere in the Okanagan Valley, regional transit is firmly established. The Central Okanagan has a service as far as Peachland and Lake Country. Regional service is also in place in the North Okanagan. The cost of a transit service, under the existing funding arrangements, has been estimated at around $48,000 for the municipality. This amount of money would not even add up to a one per cent tax increase. We have waited long enough. The bus shelters are in place. Summerlanders are ready for the service. We just need the bus.
Congratulations to the Summerland Secondary School graduates of 2012. At the graduation ceremony on Friday, many of the students received scholarships, bursaries and awards for excellence. Many of them have already proved they can handle challenges. While there will be some obstacles and struggles in the coming years, we expect we will see some great things from them.
Rough seas ahead for BC Ferries VICTORIA – BC Ferries has begun its summer schedule, ramping up sailings for the vacation season that is crucial to the fleet’s bottom line. It’s been rough sailing for BC Ferries so far this year. The corporation released its financial results in June, reporting a net loss of $16.5 million, compared to net earnings of $3.8 million the previous year. Last year ’s earnings were boosted by the sale of the for- Tom Fletcher mer corporate headquarters for $9.3 million, preventing a loss there as well. In the fiscal year that ended March 31, vehicle traffic was down 3.5 per cent and walk-on passengers were down 2.8 per cent. As a result, BC Ferries is forecasting a “small loss” for this year as well. The spring “Coast Saver” sale has just ended. That’s a 37-per-cent discount offered Fridays through Mondays, May 25 to June 25 on the major runs from the mainland to Victoria and Nanaimo. The discounts allowed a foot passenger to cross for $9.95 and a car and driver for $39.95. I asked BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan last week how the sale went. He didn’t have final figures yet, but he allowed that the boost in traffic was “marginal.” It’s the second year that the spring sale has been offered over weekends, when people
are more likely to travel. But instead of generating additional trips, Corrigan said the main effect has been to shift traffic from midweek to weekends. One of the primary reasons for this spring’s poor performance is the lousy weather that kept people at home. Gasoline at $1.40 a litre is another big one. Hotels and other tourism services tell the same story. Here’s another problem: student traffic on the ferries was down by a third this spring,
who want the rest of us to subsidize their splendid isolation. The proposition for them will boil down to this: You can pay more or you can have fewer sailings. And where the boat is a third full, you will have fewer sailings. This consultation period is an opportunity to ask some hard questions. For instance, does Saltspring Island really need three ferry terminals? And why is there no passenger-only service? Macatee’s term as commis-

The simplistic political debate about ferry service starts and ends with rising fares, with occasional fits of temper over executive salaries, and ignores the other factors. Just cut the fares and increase the taxpayer subsidy, say the NDP and their local echo chambers. Of course, taxpayers are already pitching in an extra $80 million this year, bringing the subsidy to the ferries close to $200 million. That’s how Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom sweetened the pot as he unveiled new powers for B.C. Ferry Commissioner Gord Macatee to set service levels as well as regulate fares. Macatee’s task now is to travel the coast and endure the demands of island dwellers
sioner started with a detailed review last year that pointed to some other ways to save serious money. But CEO Corrigan says there are no quick fixes. FortisBC has offered an $11 million incentive for conversion of marine vessels to natural gas, which would give the fleet significant relief from spiraling fuel costs. But a ferry conversion would take six months or more, and another vessel would be needed in the meantime. Another promising suggestion is overhauling the ferry reservation service, making reservations free and charging extra for those who just show up. Corrigan says a computer reservation overhaul is underway, but it will take three years.

culls We’re glad to see the municipality will be hiring an administrator, but we wish the process had been started months ago. Since January, municipal treasurer Ken Ostraat has also been the acting administrator. The two roles are both huge and demanding. If we had a year with any significant projects on the go, the work would have been far too much for any one person. Because of the time involved in the search process, it could be another six months before an administrator is hired.

Wait times must be addressed Dear Editor: The recently published Canadian Wait Time Alliance Report Card on wait times for medical care in Canada contains two findings
that should make members of the public and policy makers take note. The report estimates that one in six hospital beds are now occupied by patients
who do not require acute care services but who end up in hospital due to a shortage of preventative, community-based health services. Wait times are
best addressed by improving the entire health care continuum and investing in primary health care services, including home support and residential care, that
THE EARLY YEARS
will improve quality of care for seniors and keep them out of expensive and inappropriate hospital beds. The report also notes the important role played by the federal government in setting national health strategies and facilitating their implementation. Much progress
has been made in reducing wait times in the five areas identified as priorities by federal, provincial and territorial governments under the 2004 Health Accord. Unfortunately, the federal government has stated that after the current Health Accord expires in 2014, it will continue to provide some
funding, but no leadership for health care. This isn’t good enough. Our publicly funded health care system requires the shared commitment and cooperation of Ottawa and the provinces. Rick Turner, Co-chair B.C. Health Coalition Vancouver
Thanks for work on new playground Dear Editor: Director of Parks and Recreation Dale MacDonald is to be commended for the successful completion of the Dale Meadows netted playground for several reasons. First for his vision of installing a netted covering. This allowed the playground to be safely installed within the restricted confines of the Dale Meadows Sports Fields.
Secondly, for leveraging the taxpayer’s contribution of $15,000 into what is in fact a project costing well over $60,000, by partnering with service clubs and businesses. Well done, Dale, and to all those in the community who supported the project by their donations of money, time and labour. John Dorn Summerland
Concerns raised over Internet snooping bill Dear Editor: Nice of Dan Albas to take a break from his victory dance over the wine bill to remind us that he and his buddy, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, haven’t given up on their Internet snooping bill (C-30). Dan used his last column to tell us that the snooping bill will be back and there’s nothing you can do about it. But that’s probably
fine with the people who handed Dan his landslide last May. Let’s see now. These masters of small government want to read our e-mails. They also propose to eavesdrop on us in our cars as we wait at border crossings. And now we see them triumphantly announcing an “information sharing” agreement with the U.S. Homeland Security. That’s the Amer-
ican group led by Janet Napolitano who famously thought the 9/11 terrorists came in from Canada. I’m thrilled to think those “stand your ground” lawmakers are taking such an interest in our comings and goings. Is this the price of inclusion in the murky TransPacific Free Trade deal? Is this what you voted for? Bob Nicholson Penticton

Is it true that the best fruit is at the top of the tree? About 80 years ago, J.J. Embree, an employee at the Experimental Farm, invented this portable picking machine to make sure none of the good fruit was left behind. The device could be stretched high to make picking easy, then folded down and manoeuvred like a wheel barrow to the next tree. Looks like a lot of work, which may explain why you don’t see too many of them today. We just shortened the trees.

Changes to regulations affect resource road users Last year, a popular nearby backcountry recreational road was closed creating much frustration for regular users who frequented the road in question to access many popular trails.

first constructed the road closed it down for liability reasons. This was not the first time a popular backcountry road or bridge was closed for liability reasons. Recent regulatory changes for resource roads mean that for resource road users, they will now do so at their own accord and substantially at their own risk. These changes help negate liability concerns and in turn are

From recording history for decades to making history, his win marked the beginning of the end for B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Social Credit government and eventually the party too.

Bill Barisoff intended to help keep more resource roads from being closed down preventing public access. On a different topic, the B.C. government has announced plans to add more recommendations from the Farm Assessment Review Panel that may be of interest to local farmers. The tax exemption limit on farm outbuildings will now be increased, and retired farmers can have the farmers dwelling classification extended provided the farm stays in production. Other changes include reduced administrative paperwork and more flexibility to meet or maintain farm status. Broad leaf maple syrup, breeding and live stocking raising practices and horse
stud services used in horse rearing are new farm activities recognized for status purposes. For more information please visit farmassessmentreview.ca/pdfs/ FARP-FAQ.pdf. As camping season is now once again underway in B.C. a reminder that you can visit the www. DiscoverCamping.ca website and reserve a camping spot at one of over 125 different B.C. parks all across British Columbia. Lower Mainland, Okanagan and Vancouver Island area parks are the busiest, with over 1.3 million visits last year alone so if you are looking for a potentially less busy park consider more eastern and northern parks as exciting alternatives. Lastly, this week I would like to wish all students an active and happy summer vacation and I encourage all students to stay active and look for enjoyable learning opportunities this summer. The value of learning and the lessons yet to be discovered can last a lifetime. Bill Barisoff is the MLA for the riding of Penticton.

Teachers vote on extension of contract by Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. Teachers’ Federation executive is recommending acceptance of an agreement reached with school district negotiators that extends most of the terms of the contract that expired a year ago. Teachers are voting this week on the proposed settlement, which runs until June 30, 2013. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, representing B.C.’s 60 school districts, will hold a vote for trustees next week. The agreement puts off a bitter dispute over government changes to hiring, layoff and performance evaluation
of teachers. Education Minister George Abbott said the deal includes a letter of understanding to continue talks on those issues. BCTF president Susan Lambert said the agreement includes some improvements to teacher benefits and leave provisions. Acceptance of the agreement will allow schools to resume classes next fall with teachers resuming extra-curricular activities and meetings with school administration. The work-to-rule campaign extended throughout the school year now ending for most students, and culminated in a threeday strike in March.

Great question Don. Enamel is the really hard protective surface on your teeth. Studies show that the average human will wear away enamel at 1mm in 100 years. You can imagine that 1mm of tooth loss isn’t very much. So, when your hygienist or dentist sees more than 1mm or significant wear on your teeth when you are very young, they start asking questions. When are you damaging your teeth? And why? Many people unknowingly clench their teeth during the day, usually due to stress. We press our teeth together the hardest during the day. If our front teeth are chipping or wearing it usually happens during the day. Once you find out when it is happening you could wear a guard to protect your teeth from damage (for example while in front of your computer screen, while driving, or while exercising/ weight lifting). At night we can wear our enamel away too. People only clench or grind during a small portion of the night. We don’t grind our teeth at night because of stress, but the theory is that we move our jaw to the side to open our airway because we can’t breathe at night (sleep apnea). The grinding pressure is lighter than during the day but we find damage on the back teeth because our mouth is so dry that the friction can cause enamel loss night after night. Most people don’t notice they clench during the day and if you grind at night, it isn’t likely to be all night long, so your wife may not wake up hearing you. The next time you are in to see your dentist, ask where the damage is. If it is on the back teeth you may wish to request a sleep apnea test. Keep asking questions! We’re here to help in any way we can. Feel free to call, stop by, or send us an e-mail message. We are always accepting new patients and I’d be happy to answer your question in the next article (anonymously if desired). Have a great week!

Penny Lane to mark 10 years For the past decade, Penny Lane Bargain Outlet has been contributing money to youth-related initiatives in the South Okanagan. The store has invested more than $1.7 million to youth since it started in 2002. Contributions by Penny Lane have allowed the Okanagan-Skaha School
District to provide a full-time youth and family worker for Summerland Secondary School for the past four years. A second worker will be added to the school beginning in September. On Saturday, July 7, the store will celebrate its 10th anniversary at the clothing store at 13207 Victoria Rd. N., beginning at
9:30 a.m. The street in front of the store will be closed for a prize drop. Lunch, served by the Summerland Royalty, will be between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. At the furniture store at 10109 Main St., there will be a parking lot sale behind the building from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

One of my favourite times of the year has always been Canada Day. Since becoming a Member of Parliament I have found new meaning in the celebration for all that is great about our amazing nation. Over the past 12 months I’ve encountered a few noteworthy events that I believe illustrate the values that are unique to the special quality of life we enjoy as Canadians. Several months ago a priest in the community of Merritt was ordered to be deported from Canada within 48 hours. The outcry from the citizens within Merritt was loud and broad reaching, coming from many different segments of the region. Community leaders, including the mayor and MLA spoke passionately of the importance of this priest to the citizens in Merritt and the great injustice in being ordered to be deported in such an aggressive manner. The community came together to show support and to help find a solution. To attempt to engage in political intervention with only 48 hours on the clock, and even less time once the issue became widely known, seemed an impossible task to overcome. However, if we are to have laws and bureaucracy where we cannot undo those mistakes that have been made, we are beholden to an entirely different set of problems that
OTTAWA REPORT
Dan Albas are against our very democratic principles. In this case with the support of democratically elected representatives such as Merritt Mayor Susan Roline and NDP MLA Harry Lali, we were able to have the deportation order resolved, and a priest can now continue to serve his temple. I am also mindful of the 158 Canadians we have lost in service while in Afghanistan. In many of our communities the cenotaphs serve us as reminders of those brave Canadians who have given the supreme sacrifice of service to our great nation. To the friends and families who lost loved ones, we will never forget your loss nor the values that we continue to defend against those who would do us harm. During my time in Ottawa I have had a chance to meet some of those who have served in Afghanistan. It is a life changing experience for many.

Memories of swim lessons This is the first week of school summer holidays and parents sigh a breath of relief that the school year is now complete. Kids are excited about a change of routine and after a few mornings of sleeping in they are looking for something to do with their time. Before the Aquatic and Fitness Centre was built, swimming lessons were offered at the old Rotary Reach at the corner of Lakeshore Drive and Highway 97. Red Cross swim lessons were scheduled daily for two week blocks through the months of July and August. I remember taking
my Bronze Medallion exam during a very windy raining day and the exam had to be stopped due to the white caps coming into the beach. Once the weather cleared the exam continued and we were able to complete our underwater searches. In 1976, the Aquatic and Fitness Centre opened. It was a joint project with the Summerland School District and the District of Summerland. The beach front swim lessons ended and all swim programs were scheduled at the new 25-metre swimming pool. We continue to offer the daily Red
Cross swim lessons during the months of July and August. Did you know that at Rotary Beach it is 25 metres from the inside of the F dock to the I dock? How important are swim lessons? Swimming is a life skill and everyone is exposed to water at some point in their lives. We live on a lake and everyone needs to be water smart, whether they are at the beach, in a boat, at a pool or fishing. Being water smart may save your life or someone else’s. Red Cross and Lifesaving Swim programs are not only teaching the basics of swim strokes but also
LEISURE TIMES
Brenda Ingram teaching boat safety, ice safety, first-aid and personal fitness. We work with the schools in Summerland to offer each student a learn to swim program. The Grade 3s receive a 10-lesson Red Cross program through the school year.
Fortunately this program has been a priority for each school and their PAC’s. Red Cross and Lifesaving programs are scheduled and start the week of July 2 and run through until Aug. 24. Now when your kids are looking for something to do this summer, check out the Aquatic programs. They are fun, educational and lifelong learning. See you at the pool. Brenda Ingram is the Programs and Facility Manager for the District of Summerland and proud to be a long-time resident of this great community.
Summerland driver seeks sponsors Sarah CornettChing, who took a fourth-place finish at Prince George on the weekend, is looking for sponsors for the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series Races in July. She and her team left Penticton Thursday night for the eight-hour drive to Prince George. After arriving Friday morning, the first stop was PGARA Speedway for an interview with local Prince George television station CKPG. Cornett-Ching then went to Prince
George Motors for the rest of the day, where she displayed her car, talked with race fans and signed autographs. On Saturday, Cornett-Ching and her team arrived at PGARA Speedway under sunny skies, and began practice for the OK Tire ARCA West Series event later in the day. Making only her second start at the track, she was looking for as much seat time as possible to find her rhythm, and before long she was turning some competitive lap

I Cornettcan’t wait Ching for Quesnel on July 21, I think we’ve got a car that can go to the front”. With three weeks now before the next ARCA West Series race at Gold Pan Speedway in Quesnel, BC, CornettChing will now shift her attention to finding marketing partners for the upcoming NASCAR Canadian Tire Series races. She is seeking help to run the events at Motoplex Speedway on July 14, as well as the July 25 event at Auto Clearing Speedway in Saskatchewan. She made her NASCAR Canadian Tire Series debut last year at Motoplex Speedway, and finished with a 14th place finish, and second of all rookies
in the race. “We had a great time last year running with the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, at our home track in Vernon, B.C.”, said Cornett-Ching. “We are working hard to put together a program to run this race again this year, as well as the race in Saskatchewan a couple weeks later”. If you are interested in helping Cornett-Ching attend the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series races next month, contact her at sarah.cornett-ching@ hotmail.com. The races will be televised on TSN. “The support from family, friends, fans and our great marketing partners have been phenomenal, and hopefully we make this step up to the next level with the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.” For more information on Cornett-Ching and to follow her racing accomplishments, see sccracing.com or visit her on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ sccracing.

times. As expected, rain began to fall, delaying the start of the race. Qualifying had been cancelled, and the lineup was set by points, putting Sarah up front to start the race. The race started single file as the outside groove remained a little wet. At the drop of the green flag, the second place car pushed her up the track into the wet outside groove, causing her to lose track position. She fell back in line in 10th place, and fought her way back. Knowing that more rain was expected, she got up on the wheel, and was soon back into the top five. After moving into fourth, she began to close in on the third place car. Sarah battled for the third spot, and almost had the position before the rain returned. “For this being only our second time here at this track, we are really pleased with that finish”, says Cornett-Ching after the race. “I couldn’t be happier with our run

Enid Mary Loy Maynard
September 7, 1930 - June 20, 2012 At the age of 81, beloved husband, father and grandfather, ‘Ben’ passed from this life. He was a caring, compassionate man; a loving, involved father and inspirational in his own unique way. His sister Mary, children Steven and Ian, and many friends will lovingly remember him. His wife Pamela sadly predeceased Ben on March 8, 2009. Born in Worchester Park, UK, to William and Laura, Ben and his young family immigrated to Winnipeg, MB in 1968 where he had a career as an elevator mechanic. Ben and Pam retired to Summerland, BC in 1992, where he was an active community member and member of the Summerland Kiwanis Club and the Summerland Legion. For the last twenty years, Ben had been suffering from Parkinson’s disease; a burden that he bore as stoically and courageously as every other obstacle set before him. His outlook was always sunny and he had a “make the best of it” attitude; part of a combination that made him universally loved by all who knew him. The memorial service was held on July 1st, and he now rests beside Pamela at the Canyon View Cemetery in Summerland. The family is grateful for the compassion and care from the staff at Haven Hill Retirement Centre. Donations in memory of Ben may be sent to the Parkinson’s Society of Canada. Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com.

Born in Penticton, February 22nd, 1917, she grew up on Maynard Road off Naramata Road, attended Penticton schools and then graduated as a Practical Nurse from Vancouver General Hospital. She worked in Summerland Hospital first as a nurse, then as a technician in the Laboratory. An avid sportswoman, she skied and hiked, was involved in the Girl Guides and the B.C Naturalists. On early retirement Enid became involved in many volunteer activities, Soroptomist International, Ecological Reserves, Summerland Food Bank, Okanagan Similkameen Parks Society, Summerland Compost Project, Praise the Lord and pass the Mustard Dinner Group, Naramata Choir, Arthritis Society, St. Stephen’s Church Choir, Heritage trees, Parkdale Place, Summerland Garden Club, Research Garden Summerland, Art Gallery, Camera Club, Community Arts Council, Penticton and District Retirement Center.

No service by her written request. Cremation by Summerland Funeral Home. Heartfelt thanks are extended to the staff of Summerland Seniors Village.

Strike targets liquor warehouses by Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. Government and Service Employees Union launched strike action Tuesday with a one-day walkout at liquor distribution warehouses in Vancouver, Victoria and Kamloops. BCGEU chief negotiator David Vipond said the strike action is to protest the B.C. government’s plan to sell off the three warehouses as well
as back the union’s demands. The union rejected an offer of a two per cent wage increase this year and another 1.5 per cent next year, and is seeking about six per cent over two years after three years without a raise. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon responded to the union’s strike vote by suggesting the wage offer could be withdrawn. The government describes its current
negotiating mandate as “co-operative gains,” where pay increases must be financed by cost reductions in work arrangement. Vipond said the BCGEU’s proposal to raise revenue by opening more government liquor stores on Sundays was rejected. When the plan to sell liquor distribution operations was revealed in February’s budget, the union was told its jobs
would be protected in the transition to a private operator if the Sunday opening proposal was withdrawn, he said. The BCGEU also represents deputy sheriffs, provincial jail staff, child protection social workers, forestry and forest firefighting staff. The union has not indicated what the next strike action may be, but has vowed not to interfere with any public safety or emergency service duties.
