WHAT’S INSIDE:

Contract awarded for roundabout, sidewalks and bicycling lanes by John Arendt

Upgrade work at the intersection of Victoria Road South and Prairie Valley Road will begin in spring now that the contract for the project has been awarded. On Monday, council approved the bid from H and M Excavating for the intersection work and the Prairie Creek storm water diversion project. The bid was for $3,327,149.99 plus tax. Municipal treasurer Ken Ostraat said the bid was the lowest of the five bids received for the work. The plan includes sidewalks on both sides of Prairie Valley Road and the addition of bike lanes in the area. Council also approved borrowing up to $1 million to extend the project from the Prairie Valley Road and Victoria Road South intersection to the west end of Saunders Crescent. The borrowing is to be repaid within five years. The total cost of the project is $3.8 million, with $2.99 million for the work already in munici-

A portion of the silt bluffs collapsed on Saturday, spilling soil across Lakeshore Drive near the Crescent Beach area.

pal coffers. Mayor Janice Perrino said the roundabout intersection alone could be completed at a cost of $2.6 million, but additional work, including sidewalks and bike lanes, are also necessary. Other members of council agreed with the need for sidewalks. “The traffic is never going to let up in that area,” said Coun. Martin Van Alphen, adding that Prairie Valley Road is classified as a highway. Coun. Orv Robson, a former RCMP sergeant in the community, said the Orv intersection at Prai- Robson rie Valley Road and Victoria Road South has long been an area of concern. “I’ve watched the intersection for 20 years and it is the most congested area in Summerland,” he said. Perrino said the borrowing can be done without a tax increase, but this will also mean postponing some other capital projects until the money has been repaid. The construction work is expected to begin in early spring, with the majority of the construction to be done during 2013.

Summerland RCMP members had fewer calls in the second quarter of 2012 than they had in the same period a year ago, according to the latest policing statistics. On Monday evening, Sgt. Mona Kauffeld of the Summerland RCMP detachment presented the first quarterly report to municipal council. From April to June, Summerland RCMP responded to 618

calls for service, a 10 per cent drop from the same period in 2011. Mischief complaints dropped from 57 in the second quarter of 2011 to 34 in the second quarter of this year. This year’s mischief figure includes nine reports of broken windows at businesses and vehicles overnight on June 25 to 26. Other crime statistics were higher than in 2011. Auto thefts and thefts from vehicles were both up from a year ago. See AUTO Page 3

POLICE REPORT Fuel stolen Fuel was stolen from a vehicle on Barclay Street overnight on Aug. 22 to 23. Police say around 40 litres of fuel had been taken.

Windsurfing board taken On Aug. 27, a windsurfing board was stolen from a home on Lakeshore Drive. A couple in their 30s drove up in an older white vehicle, got out, took the board and left. Anyone with information about the theft is asked to call Crime Stoppers or the Summerland RCMP detachment.

New driver suspended On Aug. 26 at 1:19 a.m., a motorist on Highway 97 turned around after seeing a police car. Police followed and stopped a 20-year-old Penticton woman. The woman was given a blood alcohol test and blew a reading of 0.35. Because she is a new driver and is to have a blood alcohol level of zero, she was issued a 12-hour suspension.

Bottles stolen On Aug. 24, police were called after 40 pallets of glass bottles were taken from a business on Robinson Road. The theft is still under investigation.

Truck and boat taken On Aug. 25, a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck and an aluminum boat and motor were both reported stolen from Victoria Road South addresses. Both were later located abandoned north of Summerland on Bridgeman Road.

Bike stolen On Aug. 25, police were called after a green Devinci mountain bike was reported stolen from Rosedale Avenue. The bike is valued at $1,200.

Vehicles entered On Aug. 23, a vehicle on Elliot Street and a vehicle on Barclay Street were entered. Change was stolen from each of the vehicles and two knives were also taken from the vehicle on Elliot Street. Thieves attempted to enter a third vehicle on Barclay Street. Police urge motorists not to keep valuables in their vehicles.

Landslide

A landslide in the Crescent Beach area on Saturday morning deposited around 45 centimetres of silt on Lakeshore Drive but did not result in much property damage. There have been numerous landslides at the silt bluffs along the lakeshore, including a small slide in early spring. The Saturday landslide was not the result of overwatering, municipal officials say.

Auto thief arrested Continued from Page 1

There were seven vehicle thefts reported, up from four in the same period in 2011. In the first half of this year, there have been 11 reported vehicle thefts, compared with five in the same period a year ago. “A number of Summerland’s stolen vehicles at the beginning of this quarter were believed to be associated with a prolific vehicle thief based out of Penticton,” Kauffeld said. “He was arrested in late April and is cur-

rently in custody awaiting charges of robbery, possession of stolen property and other criminal code offences.” The number of break and enters also rose, with 11 reported from April to June. In the same period a year ago, there were seven break and

enters reported. Other police files included six drug files for possession. On the roads, police issued four three-day immediate roadside prohibitions and one 24-hour prohibition for alcohol use. One driver was charged with impaired driving.

Council meetings will be cancelled Municipal council will not hold meetings on Sept. 24 as the mayor and some council members will be at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention. The convention will be held in Victoria Sept. 24 to 28 and includes discussions on numerous issues affecting the region and local governments. Both the morning Committee of the Whole meeting and the regular meeting of council in the evening will be cancelled as a result.

Improving roads An upgrade to the intersection at Prairie Valley Road and Victoria Road South will greatly improve the flow of traffic in the area. For years, the intersection — a four-way stop — has been a congested corner, with traffic lined up in all directions during the busiest periods weekday mornings and afternoons. The morning rush is often a morning wait. A four-way stop is no longer an adequate traffic control at this intersection. The two roads are both heavily travelled and Prairie Valley Road is designated a highway. In addition, there are two schools near the intersection, resulting in even more traffic at the start and end of the school day. There was no way this project could have been delayed any longer. In addition to the intersection work and a storm water diversion project on Prairie Creek, the work will also include the addition of sidewalks and bike lanes on part of the road. With the volume of traffic along Prairie Valley Road, sidewalks and bike lanes become increasingly important. Of course a project of this magnitude comes at a price. The costs are calculated at $3.8 million and the municipality has approved shortterm borrowing of up to $1 million. In order to repay the borrowed money without raising taxes, other projects will be postponed. While it is often possible to tighten the belt and put off a project for a short time, the danger is that the short-term delays can grow into longterm delays. Then, when the work can be postponed no longer, the costs may easily be much greater than if the work had been done earlier. While we can appreciate efforts to keep taxes low, it is important to be flexible enough to take on upgrades when they are necessary.

Summerland’s senior athletes set a good example for people of all ages. Our medalists and participants in the B.C. Senior Games, held in Burnaby last week, inspire us to get out there, get active and stay in the game. While they continue to strive for excellence in their chosen sports, they enjoy the benefits of a physical lifestyle.

Studying projects to death VICTORIA – NDP leader Adrian Dix has announced that one of his first acts as premier would be to withdraw B.C. from the joint review of the Enbridge pipeline proposal from Alberta to Kitimat. The twoyear federalled review will be mostly done by next May, but Dix proposes to start a new provincial assessment to examine at the Tom Fletcher B.C. portion. He doesn’t know how much it would cost, and under questioning he all but admitted the intention is to study the pipeline to death. Fresh from a summer tour of the pipeline route to reaffirm solidarity with its opponents, Dix is hardly in a position to consider anything but maximum resistance. As Premier Christy Clark did in her showdown with Alberta over benefits, Dix hinted that provincial permits for river and wildlife crossings would be made as expensive as possible, if not refused. The same fate awaits the Kinder Morgan plan to twin the existing Trans-Mountain oil pipeline to Burnaby. Dix left the impression that he would undo the years of work that have gone into bringing some rational sense to environmental approvals that can be, and have been, dragged out for years. The B.C. hearings would provide another platform for opponents, and more com-

plaints to justify refusal at the provincial level, to go along with court cases and directaction protests. Speaking of which, the frontal assault by agitators at the federal Enbridge hearings has mostly petered out. After 4,000odd people were signed up to speak, most didn’t bother, and some hearings were cancelled. Apparently slacktivists such as “Jonathan L. Seagull” and “Cave Man” didn’t make it out of their Vancouver basement suites to

Auditor General John Doyle had exposed a lack of resources in the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office, even before Ottawa’s changes. Provincial assessment already must be done with the participation of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Transport Canada, the provincial ministries of natural resources and energy and mines, and of course aboriginal communities. And don’t be fooled into believing a federal review would go out and count the tadpoles

Professional environmentalists are now wringing their hands over Ottawa’s decision to leave smaller-scale reviews to the province. This means there won’t be a duplicate federal review of the urgently needed refit of the John Hart Dam on the Campbell River. One reader suggested that environmental pioneer Roderick Haig-Brown is still spinning in his grave over the damming of this legendary salmon river. Perhaps, but that was in 1947. Does it make sense today to lard pointless bureaucracy onto a reconstruction that replaces wooden pipes and provides earthquake protection, without expanding river impact? NDP environment critic Rob Fleming hammered away at the B.C. Liberals about this in the spring, reminding them that

and caribou again. It’s only the desk jobs that have proliferated. There weren’t just two levels of duplicate review, but three. Earlier in their mandate, the B.C. Liberals exempted major projects such as mines and energy generation from local government control, citing the “provincial interest” similar to the federal authority over projects that cross provincial borders. I agree with the NDP that B.C. environmental assessment needs more resources, in particular to do the follow-up on approved projects, as called for by the auditor general. Forest management needs more money too. All the more reason not to waste resources on political gestures.

bad apples Summerland’s traditional back-to-school bush party is a heartache in the making. Yo u n g p e o p l e , unsupervised and consuming alcohol, in a remote outdoor setting, operating motor vehicles, are factors that can combine to create tragedy. Parents need to be aware of the possibility of such a party occurring this time of year, and young people need to give it a miss.

No responses from Ryga Centre Dear Editor: Keith Ferlin, in justifying putting George Ryga’s house up for sale, says Summerland was never going to embrace the Ryga Centre. I once joined the

society, made a donation and said I’d like to help in any way. I never heard back. Not a thank-you, never an AGM notice, nothing. When, a bit miffed, I left a message to Ken

Smedley asking for a tax receipt (as the society said on its website it would give for charitable donations,) I again never received a reply nor a receipt. A couple of years ago, at a public meet-

ing to rally community support to stop Okanagan College from moving Ryga’s house to Vernon, I recounted my previous experience with the society. Peter Hay, who had

just moved to Summerland, nodded his head to suggest he had heard that story before and asked everyone to give the society another chance. So I joined on the spot and made another dona-

tion. And never heard back. To me, the sale of Ryga’s house does not represent a failure of the people of Summerland to embrace the Ryga Centre; it represents the unwill-

THE EARLY YEARS

Back to school… way, way back.

Judging by the expressions on the faces of these students in Garnett Valley School in 1909, some of them would rather have been dressed in play clothes and heading for the local fishing hole (much like Laura Ingalls from Little House on the Prairie.) The children varied in ages and grades but all learned in one room under the expert tutelage of Miss Ballantine. As Summerland kids head back to class next week, it’s easy to see how schools have changed, though I wonder how many students would rather be fishing… or swimming… or biking.

Appraisal was an impossible task Dear Editor: Last week the new Wharton Street development agreement was finalized. This agreement involved the sale of municipal land, across the street from our community cenotaph, at the very core of our community. The question the taxpayer should be asking is: Did we get a fair price for the

land that we sold? Determining a fair price for this particular piece of property was not easy. Standard procedure included an appraisal. Usually an appraisal includes a price comparison with other similarly zoned and located properties. This was an impossible task.

ingness or inability of a small clique to share their memory of George Ryga with the next generation and the wider community. Such a shame. Doug Holmes Summerland

Rarely are lands sold at the very centre of a community. Virtually never do municipalities sell their land at the heart of their community. The appraisal was completed on April 2. There was a comparison of the land costs of seven commercial properties. None of the compared properties were

zoned to permit five storey buildings. None would even remotely be considered central downtown lands. The closest property to a downtown core was on Pandosy Avenue, on the opposite side of Highway 97, far from Kelowna’s city core. Because of these facts, the so called “appraised price”

must be viewed as a complete guesstimate. Was it a fair price? Hmm. Was a second appraisal indicated? Absolutely. It is quite remarkable that municipal council and staff were able to project into the future and determined that these core lands were surplus and these lands will not be needed

for future community use. David E. Gregory Summerland

Dear Editor: As a dog owner, I just want to thank the town of Summerland for giving us a place like the Peach Orchard Dog Beach where dogs can run free, play together and swim. Lately I have seen too many complaints about chain link fencing not being on the south side of the beach. It is a dog beach and most dogs that swim there could swim past any fence that would be put up. I would also note that most dog owners watch their dogs while they play there and have control over them if they do happen to stray from the area. We are very fortunate in Summerland to have such a great dog beach and also be able to use the park during the off season. Let’s not have to resort to having more signage, let everyone be responsible for their pets. Linda Fennes Summerland

SEPTEMBER 3rd, 2012

LABOUR DAY WORKING FOR A BETTER FUTURE

Labour Day has been celebrated on the ﬁrst Monday in September in Canada since the 1880s.

A celebration of labour The Labour Day holiday we enjoy was inspired by the efforts of Canadian trade unions to improve workers’ rights. Celebrated the first Monday of September, this year on Sept. 3, the holiday was originally a day to campaign for better working conditions and pay. Now it marks the end of the summer vacation season and the beginning of the school year. Here in Summerland many of us use the three-day weekend to travel, entertain and enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, golfing, camping and

boating. Canada’s Labour Day originated on April 15, 1872, when the Toronto Trades Assembly organized Canada’s first significant labour demonstration. The demonstration was to seek the release the 24 leaders of the union who were imprisoned for striking to get a nine-hour working day. In those days, it was illegal to strike. Strikes were considered a criminal conspiracy to disrupt trade. There was large public support for the demonstration.

Within a few months, Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, promised to repeal the Canadian laws against trade unions. The Canadian Labour Congress was formed the next year. Labour unions in the United States were inspired by the annual observance in Canada, and started a similar event. In 1894 the observance became a national holiday in both the United States and Canada. Many other countries have a day celebrating the labour movement on May 1.

Local 796 of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers would like to thank the residents of British Columbia for their support.

ELECTRICAL UTILITY DIVISION and Local 213 of the IBEW would like to take the opportunity to Salute all Employees for their diligence and safe work practices on this Labour Day.

Library agreement not reached Dear Editor: The Aug. 23 article entitled “Wharton papers signed” gives the impression that an agreement with the Okanagan Regional Library has been signed. There is no such signed agreement involving the Summerland library. In the Summerland District’s Aug. 22 news

release, Mayor Janice Perrino is quoted as saying, “We hope that the board for the Okanagan Regional Library will join us in this development so we can create a cultural hub that our community will be proud of.” The Summerland Library has long needed a larger, more suitable library space.

It will be 30 years in November since the library opened in its current location. Twelve years ago, in 2000, in the Summerland Review, Jan Carlson, the community librarian at the time, expressed concern that the library was half the size it should be for a community the size of Summerland. The library is often

one of the first places visitors go to in Summerland. The librarians cheerfully welcome more than 6,500 residents and visitors per month, with helpful service and information, while dealing with daily challenges of inadequate and even hazardous working space that now holds more computers, media and

books than ever. The Summerland Library has been a source of inspiration for thousands of Summerland children through the highly popular Summer Reading Club and related reading programs. Pat Flett Friends of the Summerland Library Society Summerland

Ask Your Dentist...

I have a complete upper denture and I cannot eat the foods I love, such as steak and apples, without the denture becoming loose when I bite into these harder foods. I have heard of implants to hold dentures in. Is this a possibility for me? I do not want to be without my teeth though. Lorne C.

Dr. Cindee Melashenko

Questions about Wharton Street Dear Editor: The Wharton Street papers are signed, but where are the details? What is the value of the land, and what will the city get for it? When the projects are completed, who will own the land, the buildings, and the cultural centre? Will there be leases involved, and if so, what are the terms, and for how long? $2.8 million for the cultural centre, $2.1 million for a museum, and $1.0 million for a ‘service centre.’ That is $5.9 million. How many more millions for the library?

That is a huge amount of money for city taxpayers, and is not the right thing to do at a time when we are facing a potential global financial collapse. The cultural centre defines the downtown of any city. Libraries and museums could be part of that centre. To ensure the integrity of the centre is not compromised, it must be a free standing structure, owned and operated by the city, and citizens and visitors alike must have unfettered access to this important centre. To disperse these public components into separate commercial build-

ing structures with an unpredictable make-up of tenants defies logic. Another disturbing part about the proposed development is the fact that it is projected to become several stories higher than any other building downtown. Any change or development that materially changes the character of our community must have the undisputed support of the citizens. That support will have to be expressed by means of a binding referendum. Andy Thomsen Summerland

Volunteers helped Emergency Social Services Dear Editor, I would like to thank the citizens of Summerland who have supported the Emergency Social Services program. For those who have joined the group and taken the necessary training to prepare for the work you might have to do in an evacuation, thank you for giving of your time and talents. To the mayors and councillors that I served under during my eight years as a member and director, thank you for your support and words of encouragement. To the members of

the Summerland Fire Department, thank you for your help, support and providing space to call “home” and in which to store our supplies and equipment. There are many others that I owe a debt of gratitude to for your support, words of encouragement and friendship. For the ESS members that helped in the Peachland Reception Centre back in 2009, thank you for all the work you did that weekend — in the dark and into the wee hours of the morning. It put us all to the test.

Now, as of Aug. 31, 2012, I will be ending my emergency work, going into full retirement. I will

miss working with my co-workers at the Mobile Support Team level, as well as the local volunteers, but

I will always enjoy a chit-chat when we meet. Ruth Manning Summerland

Thanks so much for the question Lorne. Your problem is not unusual. We have patients in all the time with the same concern. Last year I attended a continuing education course which allows me to offer an amazing cutting edge technology which can help patients with your dental issue.

Mini Dental Implant Retained Dentures are the perfect option. Even the best denture adhesives can’t compare to the denture stability achieved with mini dental implants. Mini dental implants are designed to help denture wearers laugh, talk and live with comfort and confidence. Mini dental implants were developed to provide greater denture stability for those who:

• • •

Can’t withstand the rigors of full-size implant surgery Don’t have enough bone to allow for full-sized implants to be placed Are seeking a more affordable dental implant option

Mini Dental Implants are a minimally invasive, affordable dental implant procedure that can provide the denture stability you’ve always wanted – without the costs and time associated with full-size implant treatment. Smaller than full-size implants, mini dental implants are inserted to retain and stabilize your lower and upper dentures. Mini Dental Implants:

• • •

Typically do not require an incision in the gums Cost significantly less than full-size implants Can often be placed with a 2 hour appointment

The mini dental implant procedure takes place in our office, with local anesthesia. Typically, the procedure takes only one appointment and can be completed within 2-hours! The Results Because of the minimally invasive nature of the mini dental implant procedure, the implant placement won’t require you to go through a lengthy healing period, we don’t even take your denture away from you. All of the necessary treatment is done in one appointment at the office. Within a few days, you’ll be out and about, enjoying a lunch of your favourite foods, talking with ease, laughing and smiling freely. All that time, you’re feeling a new stability in your dentures-secure that they have the staying power you need. To book a FREE CONSULT, please call or email the office. We are always accepting New Patients. If you have a dental question, please forward them to Dr. Cindee Melashenko at welcome@goldenpeach.net.

Ziebarth follows a conservative path Dear Editor, It is always interesting to see new people jumping into the political arena. We sometimes get fed up with the same old politicians and political parties feeding on the public trough, with most of them in there just long enough to collect a pension and getting the connections needed to find a secure sinecure, so it’s good to see some new faces. A while back, Mark Ziebarth, the new B.C. Liberal wannabe, referred to me as a socialist, and again as “Comrade,” sug-

Please recycle

gesting that I might even be a communist. Actually, that may not be too far from an accurate description, as I do believe in the equality of individuals, and the basic principle of Marx’s philosophy, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.” According to the article in the Review, Ziebarth’s described himself as “a fiscal and financial conservative.” Which is odd in that he wants to run for the Liberal Party. However, to be sure what he meant, I looked up the meaning of “fiscal conservatism.” Basically it is a “…policy that advo-

cates avoiding deficit spending. Fiscal conservatives often consider reduction of overall government spending and national debt as well as ensuring a balanced budget.” (Wikipedia) Sounds good, but what happens when you put it into practice? The idea was promoted by Ronald Reagan in the U.S. During his tenure income tax rates of the top personal tax bracket (that’s the one per cent which we hear so much about) was reduced from 70 per cent to 28 per cent in seven years, while payroll taxes were increased for the lower third of the workers. The most famous of

the American “fiscal conservatives” (read Republicans,) George Bush, accounted for the largest increase in Federal debt of any other president in U.S. history. In fact, during his tenure, he accumulated a debt of $5 trillion — not exactly

a conservative number. Not much was written about who Ziebarth was before he became a Canadian. You might recall that, as an American citizen, he jumped into Summerland’s mayor and coun-

cil elections a few years ago, playing a little game of hide and seek with the citizens while advertising anonymously to elect certain individuals. His background in the States included a stint with the Republican (uh, Mitt Rom-

ney?) Heritage Foundation, where he was probably indoctrinated with his present fiscal conservative spirit. Good luck to you, Mr. Ziebarth. May the best candidate win. Frank Martens Summerland

Many helped with reunion Dear Editor: On behalf of the committee for the 50-year reunion of the Summerland Secondary School grad class of 1962, we would like to take this opportunity to thank The Beanery, SASS Boutique, Willowbrook Lane and the Bulk Food Emporium for their support of our weekend event. Bell, Jacoe and Co were also a great help offering their facilities to reproduce our classmates bios.

The community should be aware that both the Yacht Club and the Legion in this town have excellent facilities for hosting these types of events. The Kiwanis Club lived up their world renowned standard for their pancake brunch. Audie Yastremski put on a first rate meal at our Saturday dine and dance. Lastly, hats off to our fellow grads and friends who did

the grunt work to get the various venues operational all of which made for a most enjoyable weekend for all. After a tour of the high school, it is evident that the students of Summerland are well served by a staff and facility that provide a very modern approach to education. Brian Adams On behalf of the grad class of 1962 Summerland

Wine fair planned by John Arendt Nationally acclaimed wine judges will sample the best Summerland wines at a wine fair in September. The Remax Summerland Wine Fair and Competition will include judging on Sept. 6 and a public tasting at the Summerland Fall Fair on Sept. 8. Mike Stohler, organizer of the event, said it is a way to promote the community’s wines and wineries. “The purpose is to hold Summerland’s wines up to an international standard,” he said. “It’s a showcase event to show we are competing at an international level.”

The judges are Terry David Mulligan, John Schreiner and Rhys Pender.

“The purpose is to hold Summerland’s wines up to an international standard.” Mike Stohler Mulligan, an actor and television personality, hosts Tasting Room Radio, a weekly one-hour radio show about food and wine. Schreiner is Canada’s most prolific writer of books on wine. Pender is a wine educator, writer and consultant to the wine industry. New wineries will be included this year, with the addition of

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Gene Research The one constant in today's world is change. Research and Technology is constantly advancing what we know and can do. Society and the legal community face a very difficult battle in dealing with the very important issues which arise from scientific discovery and new technology. One such area where the Law is struggling to keep up with these changes is genetic research. Because genetic research and the recent advances in that field have the actual power to change life as we know it, it is critical that Society as a whole and the Legal community insure that the proper safeguards are in place. The questions raised in this area do not have easy answers and people's views on those questions are affected by many different influences. This makes it very difficult to provide a Legal framework for how the advances can be used and developed. One thing we do know however, is that the advances and questions will keep coming.

Wood said there are many benefits for those who participate in figure skating, in addition to improving fitness. “Skating takes a lot of self-discipline,” she said. “It takes perseverence and a lot of hard work.” While there are many girls in the skating club, she would like to see more boys enter the program. “It’s very athletic,” she said. “You have to be very strong to be a skater.” Registration forms for the skating club are available at the Summerland Aquatic Centre.

Vintage vehicles on display Restored and customized vehicles will be on display at the seventh annual Endless Summer Show and Shine on Sept. 8. The car show, on Main Street, runs from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Garry Janzen, one of the event organizers, said around 200 vehicles from around the province will be on display. “We’ve got a big selection of different kinds of vehicles,” he said. “We’ve even

got an old logging truck.” This year, he said organizers would also like to have some motorcycles on display. The vehicles include restored cars and trucks, custom-

ized vehicles and hot rods. The show, which coincides with the Summerland Fall Fair weekend, includes a Kiwanis pancake breakfast at 8 a.m. and classic rock from FlashBack.

SADI receives funding from Telus The Summerland Asset Development Initiative has received a $5,000 donation from Telus. The funding is part of $106,000

donated by Telus to charities working with youths in the Thompson-Okanagan region. “On behalf of our board members, I

am thrilled with the positive and meaningful impact these projects are having on our community and we are so very proud to support them,” said Nancy Greene Raine, chair of the Telus Thompson Okanagan Community Board. Laceydawn Loeppky, youth activities coordinator at the youth centre, said the money will go to summer activities and leadership development. Throughout the

summer, there are many activities provided for youth. In fall, the youth centre will work on projects with a student leadership team. Loeppky said funding at the youth organization is stable, but staffing is low. Grant funding is available, but most of the grants available are for specific projects rather than the day-to-day operations of the organization.

Run in memory of Fox’s legacy by John Arendt It will be a celebration of Terry Fox’s life and legacy when an annual walk and run takes place in September. The Terry Fox Run will be held on Sunday, Sept. 16 at the Summerland Aquatic Centre. Registration is at 10 a.m. and the event begins at 11 a.m. In April, 1980, Fox, a cancer survivor, began his Marathon of Hope, a run across Canada, starting in St. John’s Nfld. In September, the cancer returned and he was forced to end his run near Thunder Bay, Ont. Runs in Fox’s honour have been held across Canada since 1981.

Keith Johnson, organizer of the Terry Fox Run in Summerland, said the run is important to celebrate Fox’s legacy and vision. “There’s huge admiration for what he did,” Johnson said. In addition to the run, the movie Terry will be shown in Memorial Park on Friday, Sept. 7. Before the movie is shown, Johnson will show a series of video clips from Fox’s Marathon of Hope. T-shirts for the event will also be on sale at the film showing. The run on Sept. 16 will have a onekilometre walk in the downtown area, a five-kilometre loop which follows the course for the Giant’s

Head Run and a threekilometre course. The three-kilometre course is new for this year. Johnson said the event is not a competition. “The key to the Terry Fox Run is participation,” he said. “There is no timing involved.” There is no registration fee, although participants may collect pledges and sponsorship. Forms are available at the Summerland Aquatic Centre, the Summerland Credit Union and other businesses. Information on the Summerland run is available through a page on Facebook. com. In addition, information is available online at terryfox.org, with a link to the Summerland run.

Robo-calls and Old Age Security changes Follow up and fair play key for local, national issues Last fall I heard from a number of constituents who expressed their concerns over allegations made regarding automated phone calls during the last fed-

eral election. These robo-calls as they are more frequently referred to, have been under investigation for some time and last fall I committed to providing more information on this topic as it became available.

Late last week a significant new development occurred as the Liberal riding association in Guelph, Ontario was found to have violated the Telecommunications Act by using automated “robo-calls” in a manner that did not

conform to the act. Specifically the Liberals had created a fictitious caller and proceeded to engage in anonymous automated calls of a political nature. The Telecommunications Act requires that automated calls cannot be made in an anonymous manner and must provide call back information and disclose who the calls are being made on behalf of. The penalties in this case included $4,900 fine for the Liberal Riding Association and my understanding is that Liberal MP Frank Valeriote has also issued a public apology for the calls. For the record I fully support the introduction of new electoral oversight that would provide more transparency and accountability for our democratic process. While it can be beneficial to use technology to enhance our electoral system, we must also be vigilant to ensure that the use of new technologies cannot manipulate or otherwise interfere with the outcome. In recent reports I have made efforts to debunk some of the more common misinformation that has been circulating, most recently pointing out that a widely circulated e-mail showing an

extravagant new jail recently built here in Canada (rumoured to be located in northern Ontario) that is in fact not located in Canada at all but rather in Austria. However not all information that circulates on government is false. For example the single issue I remain most commonly asked about to this very day remains Bill C-428. Bill C-428 was a Bill that proposed to amend the Old Age Security Act so that those who have immigrated to Canada could start collecting OAS pension benefits after just three years of Canadian residency instead of the current 10. Enraged Canadian taxpayers continue to ask me on a weekly basis if what this bill proposes is accurate and what I am doing to stop such a bill, a bill in that their opinion is neither fair nor fiscally responsible. The first part of the question is yes, Bill C-428 was a Private Member’s Bill introduced into the former 40th Parliament by the Liberals and was seconded by Liberal MP Bob Rae. The second and most important part of the question to be aware of is that this bill did not advance

OTTAWA REPORT

Dan Albas beyond first reading and is not a bill that I or the government is supportive of and if such a bill was to be reintroduced by the opposition (as NDP MP Libby Davies did last year before suddenly withdrawing such a motion,) we would strongly oppose it. Another concern I would like to briefly provide an update on is my ongoing effort to research local gas pricing in our region. In the past week working with the assistance of a local citizen and the freedom of information act, some signifi-

cant information has become available that I believe will benefit this process. Although my research will continue I am hopeful to be able to present a submission to the Federal Competition Bureau at some point this fall. I will continue to provide updates on this topic however I believe it is important to take action and consumers deserve more transparency and accountability in this process than currently exists. As there are still a few weeks remaining before the House of Commons resumes I am hopeful to hear from more of you. If you have the time for a meeting or phone call please give contact my office either locally at 250770-4480 or toll free at 1-800-665-8711.

Steam starts hockey season The Summerland Steam will be on the ice today in their first game of the season. The game, against the Kelowna Chiefs, begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Summerland Arena. Gregg Wilson, general manager of the team, said he is optimistic about the year ahead for the team. The team’s hockey camp, held this week, drew 34 players vying for spots on the team. The majority of players on the team will come from Summerland and Penticton. Tim Keilty, president of the

hockey club, said the team’s mission is to feature as many players as possible. Wilson said the local element of the team will help minor hockey in the community. “We’re trying to give the kids in minor hockey something to look up to, something to strive for,” he said. As the team begins its second season, Wilson said the team will perform well. “We have so many returning players,” he said. “Our expectations are very high.”

All ready for Sprint Triathlon Triathletes of all ages will compete in the Sprint Triathlon this weekend. The race, at Peach Orchard Beach, is considerably shorter than the Ironman Canada course. For adults, there is a 750-metre swim, a 20-kilometre bicycling portion and a five-kilometre run. This is half the distance of an Olympiclevel triathlon. Children and teens will compete in shorter courses.

Geoff Goodman, race director for the event, said the racing will start at 8:25 a.m. for the six- and sevenyear-old participants. Once they have completed their course, around 9 a.m., the competitions will begin for older children, with start times 10 minutes apart. For adults, the men’s start time is 10:05 and the women’s start time is 10:10. Goodman said the flat lakeshore course

He added that the team improved throughout the season last year and finished with many close games. In addition to the regularly scheduled games, two events are planned for September. On Sept. 8 from 1 to 3 p.m., the Steam players will participate in a family skate at the Summerland Arena. Admission is by donation to the food bank. On Sept. 9, the Steam will host a mini-tournament with teams from Osoyoos, Penticton and Kelowna attending. The games will run from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.

is popular among beginning triathletes. “Its not intimidating for the first-time participant,” he said. “It’s a good introduction if you’re a firsttime triathlete.” For those who have dreams of doing an Ironman-length course, he said the Sprint is a good way to build up to longer distances. Participation has been strong in the Sprint Triathlon. Last year, there were 360 participants, the biggest turnout to date. This year, Goodman anticipates more will take part. The event has been growing among children and teens. In 2005, there were around 50 children registered. So far this year, there are 175 in the youth categories,

with more registrations still coming in. “If we could get 200 kids, it would be phenomenal,” Goodman said. For those who do not feel comfortable with all three parts of the triathlon, teams are also welcome to compete. In 2010, when teams were first allowed, two teams were registered. Last year, there were three and so far this year, eight teams have been registered. The race is being held in partnership with Dirty Laundry Vineyard and with BCMI as a title sponsor. Those interested in participating should visit orcaswimclub. net/sprint.html for more information and a link to online registration.

Swim-bike-run is our Okanagan life The Okanagan is well known as a haven for triathletes, and rightly so. Having moved here from Ontario, I know there is so much to enjoy in our surroundings. With the clean, warm lakes and picturesque roads and trails for biking and running, athletes who visit the area devour all it has to offer. With winters being mild in comparison to most other provinces, athletes can run all year round outside without battling -30 temperatures or months of rain on end like some cities to the east and west of us. The Subaru Ironman Canada has just passed, with another successful year (30th anniversary and sadly the last as Ironman). I watched the start of the swim for the first time, and the 2,800 competitors racing into the water was a sight to be seen. Seeing the range of athletes all deter-

mined to complete the 3.8-kilometre swim, 180-km bike and 42.2-km run is always inspiring. The variance in age and athletic ability truly shows the love of the sport and the power of the mind. The energy of the event is contagious and it is no wonder that many people continue to register and new participants get enthralled with a new life experience that awaits them with a year commitment to train. This Sunday, Sept. 2, the Summerland ORCA Swim Team will host its own triathlon: The Summerland Sprint Triathlon and Kids of Steel event at Peach Orchard Beach. With more than 300 participants last year, the good news of this local triathlon is spreading. It is a nice family atmosphere, where children as young as six will be competing in a shortened version of a triathlon. The natural beauty at the location of

The ORCA Swim Team is proud to have Best Canadian Motor Inns come on board to sponsor the Kids of Steel Triathlon and

Summerland Sprint and Kids of Steel Triathlon details: Youth Races begin at 8:30 a.m. Adult Races start at 10:05 a.m. for the men and 10:0 a.m. for women. Awards start at 1 p.m. Location: Peach Orchard Park, Summerland I had my two- and four-year-old boys watch the event last year, and of course when they got home, they ran around the yard for hours and asked to go for bike rides all through the fall into the winter.

Doreen Hanna (nee Goulet) November 14, 1937 ~ August 22, 2012 Daughter of Don and Clair Goulet passed away peacefully with her family by her side on August 22, 2012 at the age of 74 years. She will be sadly missed by her loving daughter Sharon (Mark) Cyr, sons Keith, Michael, Jeffery, five grandchildren; Carrie, Marshall, Aimee, Autumn and Joshua. Brother Richard (Jolynn Green) Goulet, sister Jeannine (Terry) Hudson and many loving nieces and nephews. Doreen was born in Regina, SK, spent her early years in Montmartre and her final home was in Summerland, BC. Doreen was loved for her unique and bizarre sense of humour. She had a funny and generous spirit. She was always so self sacrificing for others before herself, even to the last. Doreen loved her garden. As a mother, Doreen had the wonderful ability to make each of her children feel like they were the “favourite child.” A Visitation will be held on Friday August 31, 2012 at 11:00 a.m with the Funeral Ceremony at 1:00 p.m. from Providence’s Summerland Chapel 13205 Rosedale Avenue, Summerland, BC with Father Ferdinan Nalitan officiating. Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com.
