Preparing for a launch

Students at Summerland Secondary School are preparing to launch a balloon this morning, if the weather conditions allow for it. From left are Emily Henderson, careers teacher Trevor Knowlton and Ryan Varchol.

Students plan balloon launch by John Arendt

If weather conditions cooperate, students at Summerland secondary School will release a balloon this morning. During its 2.5-hour flight, the balloon is expected to travel east 100 to 150 kilometres, reaching an altitude of more than 34,000 metres. Trevor Knowlton,

careers teacher at the high school, said the balloon will carry a series of cameras, an aircraft transponder and a spot GPS unit to track its location. It will also have a digital video recorder to record the video and still images from the flight. Emily Henderson, a Grade 11 student, will coordinate a live broadcast to the McMillan

Space Centre in Vancouver while Ryan Varchol, in Grade 12, will coordinate the filming which will be sent to the International Space Station. Knowlton said around 20 students, from film, broadcast, woodworking, metal work, textiles and art are involved in the balloon project.

Abattoirs excluded by John Arendt

Arts award

INCLUDING

A slaughterhouse proposed for the James Lake Industrial Area will not go ahead now that municipal council has amended its zoning bylaw. The amendment prohibits abattoirs on properties with M1, M2 and M3 zoning designations. These designations are for light, heavy and agricultural industry. Council passed second, third and final readings of the bylaw at a special meeting on Monday evening, before a full crowd in council chambers. Most of those who spoke at the public hearing were opposed to the abattoir. In addition, council had received earlier letters in opposition as well as a 75-name petition opposing slaughterhouses in the industrial area. Allan Murray, who presented the petition, said residents were concerned with the amount of activity from the proposed abattoir. “There seems to be no limit to the number of animals which can be brought in,” he said. Kim Lawton said she is concerned about a decrease in the value of her Palmer Place property if an abattoir is set up nearby. “It doesn’t need to be in an industrial park, right beside a residential area,” she said. Kelsey Van Alphen of Alder Street Auto Body said the proposed slaughterhouse will have a much more noticeable effect on the area than industrial operations. He said he tries to be respectful of his neighbours by limiting the times when he is using equipment at his shop, “but cows aren’t respectful because they’re animals,” he added.

He said abattoirs belong in agricultural areas, not residential areas. Lisa Scott, who has lived in the area since 2005, said air, smell and noise are all retained in the area. She added that controls are needed for abattoirs. “Regulations are only as good as they are enforced,” she said. Brenda Murti said she has concerns about the effects of a slaughterhouse on the community. “Summerland is a good-feeling, healing area,” she said. “What about the negative vibrations from the animals?” Brian Adams, who lives on a hobby farm and raises cattle, said good regulations are needed. He said he has butchered cattle on his property without incident. “Noise shouldn’t be a factor if it’s organized properly,” he said. “Smell shouldn’t be a factor if it’s organized properly.” He added that the proposed operation is small and that other communities have had abattoirs in operation without problems. Coun. Lloyd Christopherson suggested the proposed abattoir be relocated to land within the Agricultural Land Reserve. “It’s a land use issue,” he said. “An abattoir should be on agricultural land.” “I don’t think it’s an appropriate location,” added Coun. Martin Van Alphen. “I would support an abattoir on agricultural land. That’s where it belongs.” Coun. Peter Waterman, the only member of council not in support of the bylaw amendment, said commercial land uses are not allowed on lands within the land reserve.

Candles placed on graves to mark VE Day Candles will be placed on the graves of deceased Summerland veterans at a special ceremony on Sunday afternoon. The ceremony, to

mark VE Day, will be held at Canyon View Cemetery on Sunday, May 5 at 1:30 p.m., followed by the placing of candles. Volunteers will also place candles

at Peach Orchard Cemetery, Giant’s Head Cemetery and the grave sites at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church. A total of 422 candles are placed, half

of those at Canyon View Cemetery. “For the majority of World War II veterans, VE Day is more significant than Remembrance Day, as they served in the

European Theatre,” said John Dorn, past president of the Summerland branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. “VE Day marks the end of hostilities

in Europe and their return home.” Following the ceremony, legion members and guests are invited to the Summerland Legion on Rosedale Avenue at

2 p.m. for entertainment by Pam Ferens, followed by a turkey dinner. Tickets for veterans are free but must be obtained in advance.

Candidates speak to students by John Arendt

Political candidates for the riding of Penticton spoke to students at Summerland Secondary School on Friday morning at a candidate forum organized by students. While most of the students are younger than the voting age of 18, Brad Straker, one of the students in the Civics 11 class, said the forum was important to introduce students to the political process. “It’s so younger people can have their voices heard and

explore their own issues,” he said. The candidates also used the forum to present their platforms and to urge students to get involved. “This election is really about youth,” said Conservative candidate Sean Upshaw. “The things we do will have a direct impact on you for the rest of your lives.” Doug Maxwell of B.C. First urged the students to vote carefully and thoughtfully. “You people are in charge of your vote,” he said. “Do your

Skills training needed for future Skills training is essential in preparing youths for the roles they will hold in the future, political candidates said. Speaking to high school students at Summerland Secondary School on Friday, the four provincial candidates in the Penticton riding said skills training is increasingly important. Liberal candidate Dan Ashton said schools will need to change and provide more options for students. “Academia is going to be less important and skills training is going to be more important,” he said. Doug Maxwell of B.C. First agreed. “You need to

decide early which direction you want to go,” he said. He added that skills training is needed so businesses will not have to import skilled workers. Sean Upshaw of the Conservatives said an emphasis on skills training will be needed. “There is going to be a skills shortage in British Columbia big time,” he said. Richard Cannings of the New Democratic Party said the shortage is already evident as there are many companies which cannot hire local workers. “We have all these jobs without people,” he said. “Investing in people is as important as investing in other things.”

Candidates differ on whether rate should be increased

Candidates in the upcoming provincial election agreed that the minimum wage provides little, but disagreed on whether an increase is necessary. Two years ago, the B.C. Liberals increased the minimum wage from $8 an hour to $10.25 an hour. Liberal candidate Dan Ashton said the increase was long overdue and added that the province will examine the rate again in the future. “People need the opportunity to take home something for more than just subsistence,” he said.

Dave Stathers, the Civics 11 teacher at the high school, said the forum was held to get students to participate in democracy. After the forum, students who are able to vote said the comments have been helping them make up their minds as they prepare to cast their ballots for the first time. Susan Watkins said she was still undecided, but added that Upshaw and Ashton were both strong speakers. She added that it is important to get younger voters involved

New Democratic Party candidate Richard Cannings said his party has worked to increase the wage in the past. The New Democrats will continue to examine the wage and the cost of living. Even with the last increase, Cannings

said the minimum wage level does not provide a living wage. He added that in the Okanagan, a living wage of $17 to $18 an hour is needed. Doug Maxwell of B.C. First said the provincial minimum wage should be tied

to inflation. He said the last raise given to members of the B.C. Legislature was indexed to keep up with inflation. Sean Upshaw of the Conservatives questioned the need to increase the province’s minimum wage.

“Where it is now is where it should be,” he sad. He added that increasing the minimum wage would hurt businesses as it would increase costs. “It would be a drag on the economy if we increased it too much,” he said.

Protect Your Skin's Health & Youth The sun is well known for all its positive properties, but without adequate protection, it can become a source of danger in the long term causing skin aging and potentially cancer. There are 2 types of UV rays that penetrate through the ozone layer and reach our skin. Here are their main characteristics and their harmful effects. UVA Characteristics

Causes

• Most abundant of UV Rays 95% • Present all year long • Deep skin penetration (even to dermis)

• Aging • Allergies • Skin Cancer

UVB Characteristics

Causes

• Represent 5% of UV Rays • Presents mainly in summer • Strongest between 10 am & 2 pm

• Burning • Tanning • Skin Cancer

Sun Safe Routine Recommended by dermatologists. 1. Apply sun protection at least 15-30 minutes prior to sun exposure. A minimum of SPF 30 is recommended at all times. 2. Re-apply sun protection regularly every 2 hrs or sooner after physical activity or swimming. 3. Use an after-sun lotion after every exposure to sun to soothe your skin, keep it hydrated and help it recover from the sun's damaging rays. 4. Consider using a self-tanning product for a safe, natural tan.

Chanpreet Hundal, who will also vote for the first time in this election, said she is still undecided, but leaning towards supporting Ashton or Upshaw. The provincial election is on Tuesday, May 14.

research. Get involved. The future is in your hands.” Liberal candidate Dan Ashton said the outcome of the May 14 election will be important for the province. “It’s your future. You can make a huge difference in it,” he said. Richard Cannings, the New Democratic Party candidate, said voter participation is needed in order to make a positive difference. “It’s important for all of you to get involved in your government,” he said.

If you feel that, as an average citizen, you are being bombarded by paper from governments... You're Right! The Fraser Institute has determined that from 1975 to 1999 the federal and provincial governments in Canada published 505,000 pages of new regulations. Note that these regulations are in addition to the statutes, laws and other pieces of legislation created by these governments. If these pages were piled one on top of each other, they would be TEN stories high! Just as a reference that is two and one half times higher than any building in Summerland. So if your feeling a little overwhelmed by what our governments are creating... you have every right to be.

our pick

A mixed message As another election approaches, concerns have been raised about voter apathy among young adults. In the last federal election, fewer than 40 per cent of those between 18 and 24 voted, while more than 75 per cent of those between 66 and 75 were at the polls. In the last provincial election, voter participation among 18- to 24-year-old voters was less than 30 per cent, while more than 70 per cent of those between 66 and 75 voted. These numbers are disturbing. Young adults are facing some serious issues which do not affect middleaged and elderly people to the same degree. Unless they get involved in the political process, these issues will not be addressed. The high school students who attended the youth election forum on Friday understand the importance of participating in the election process. Centre Stage was full, even though most of those present have not yet reached voting age. The questions were well thought out and presented carefully. While it is encouraging to see this degree of interest among Summerland’s youth, the message given to young voters is confusing. Along with the impassioned pleas for participation among young adults, there are also comments which show a level of skepticism about the ability of young adults to make wise choices. At the federal level, Justin Trudeau, 41, is the youngest party leader in the House of Commons. The most frequent criticisms are about his age and experience, not about his platform or policies. Similar comments were made when a significant number of young New Democrats were elected in 2011. If we want young voters to take part in the election process and to get involved in politics, then their views and concerns should be taken seriously and not simply written off as youthful inexperience.

Stan Etter, the recipient of this year’s Arts Appreciation Award, has long been involved with the Summerland Community Arts Council. He and others have guided the Arts Council through challenging years. No organization can hope to thrive unless members are willing to commit over the long term. We hope the Arts Council can continue to draw members with the same level of dedication.

bad NDP plan is borrow and spend apples Fourth in a series on party platforms. VICTORIA – NDP leader Adrian Dix has finally rolled out his “fully costed” election platform. Major policy announcements had been released previously, but there was plenty more spending added to the total. The NDP’s health care plan is surpris- Tom Fletcher ingly modest – more money for home support, residential senior care, mental health and addiction services and a rural acute care initiative totaling $159 million over three years. As health critic Mike Farnworth points out, the residential care increase will allow seniors two baths a week instead of one. Full marks to the NDP for this part of the platform. Increases to Community Living B.C., children and families programs and aboriginal friendship centres are also commendable. Other NDP proposals don’t inspire as much confidence. Raise welfare rates $20 a month and index them to inflation. Index the minimum wage to inflation too, at a time when inflation can only rise. Set up a new child bonus program to send $70 per month for each child with family income under $25,000. Lesser payments would go to families with income up to $66,000.

This ’70s-style family allowance scheme is based on a “child poverty” claim that misrepresents federal statistics of relative income distribution. The program is optimistically budgeted at $210 million a year. Dix insists it isn’t a “big new social program,” which makes me wonder what would qualify. It would be partly funded by cancelling a B.C. Liberal plan to establish education savings accounts for kids born after 2006. Out with self-reliance, in with the nanny state. Another $100 million is added to hire more teachers, to address the teachers’ union’s often-repeated but false claim of “a decade of cuts” in education. Another $100 million goes to student grants, much of it further subsidizing the oversupply of English, education, sociology, women’s studies, journalism and other university grads who eventually discover there is little demand for their degrees. As with welfare, increasing support for bad choices can only yield more bad choices. On a related note, the NDP will revive a ministry of women’s equality, “to promote social and economic equality to all government programs....” As with female candidate quotas, the NDP keeps the flame of ’70s socialist feminism alive. The party totals up its new program spending to $988 million over three years. That’s exactly the amount Dix esti-

mates will be raised by tax hikes on corporate income, bank capital, personal income over $150,000, carbon tax on oil and gas drilling, and cancelling the B.C. Liberals’ RESP and child tax credit plans. As for deficits, the NDP claims that the B.C. Liberal budget hides a deficit of $800 million this year and similar deficits in the next two years. The B.C. Liberals point to an impressive string of “net zero” wage settlements with public sector unions, the core of their spending control record. Would the NDP continue to hold the line on public service wages, as the B.C. Liberals have done? Dix’s NDP caucus and staff is stocked with former government union officials. Party president Moe Sihota is essentially a direct employee of the same unions. The B.C. Federation of Labour has shaped the NDP’s Labour Code changes, which we won’t see until after the May 14 vote. And how much money does the “fully costed” NDP plan set aside to pay wage increases for its government union brothers and sisters? Zero. Since this is the party that appears to be cruising to victory in the May 14 election, I’ll look at what’s not in their platform and other issues next week.

We are glad to see members of the Summerland Dog Owners’ Association taking steps to clean up dog droppings around the c o m m u n i t y, but such action should not be necessary. The latest clean-up party, at Peach Orchard Beach on the weekend, drew 16 members and five non-members. This party would not have happened if all dog owners would understand they have a responsibility to clean up after their pets.

The Early years

An unusual throne

In 1964 Pat McCutcheon, a Miss Summerland candidate, didn’t make it to the crowning ceremony as she was in the hospital recovering from a car accident. Instead, the ceremony came to her and she was crowned queen with only princesses Jeannie Stevenson and Maureen Hardie, the official queen’s committee and her parents gathered around her hospital bed. One such ceremony was enough, so as we wish this year’s Blossom Queen Candidates the best of luck on Saturday we’d also like to add: Candidates, please drive defensively. Such lovely young ladies could be a distraction to other drivers.

Education underfunded Dear Editor: Recently we are hearing in the news about the difficulty boards of education are having trying to develop feasible budgets for the 2013/2014 school year. As has been happening regularly since 2002, the provincial government has been underfunding the public education system in British Columbia. The results have been cuts to educational programs, school closures, increased class sizes, and a reduction in services to special needs students. This year the boards are stating publicly through the B.C. School Trustees Association that further cuts cannot be made without significantly affecting educational services to the students of British Columbia. The South Okanagan Retired Teachers’ Association is very concerned that the present government is pursuing an elitist agenda that wishes to see the public education system so weakened and destitute

that those who can afford to do so will be forced to seek educational services from private providers. Ms. Clark, our premier, on the weekend was talking to a family in Oak Bay and brashly bragging about the fact that personal income taxes are so low in B.C. that a family with an income of $90,000 a year will save about $3,000 per year over the cost of taxes prior to the government coming into power. However, that kind of talk in Oak Bay, a bastion of affluent British Columbians, has little relationship to the average citizen in the rest of the province whose family incomes are not anywhere near that amount of money and the tax savings they have received are not anywhere near $3,000 per year. It is a fundamental precept for an economically successful democratic society to have a level playing field regarding education so that all children can take advantage of having a school system that

will provide diverse, accessible, and effective educational programs. All families must have the assurance that their children can maximize their potential as responsible and contributing citizens in their adult years by having access to a high quality and properly funded public school system. It is also understood in our society that a good well rounded education is a necessity to be a successful and contributing member of society. The retired teachers of the South Okanagan would request that all eligible voters look carefully at the educational platforms of the political parties of the up coming provincial election and to vote for those candidates that are committed to and support a strong, healthy, and well funded public education system in B.C. Terry Green, President South Okanagan Retired Teachers’ Association Summerland

Additional businesses would help Summerland Processes lengthy Dear Editor: Re: The Slaughterhouse Regulations article, April 18. Not everybody is retired in Summerland. I read that another large business is trying to setup here. Great! Again most of council said no to business. I understand noise or even the other nuisances that come along with living near an industrial area but you do live near an

industrial park, like I do just a few blocks away. We need in Summerland some big industries to help with the growth of our town. Some say that we are a bedroom community. Soon I believe we are going to be a closet community where there are no young adults living because of lack of work opportunities. We are already seeing more shops shut

down and families moving out. I have seen my taxes constantly going up as each project gets approved. I believe that if we had some key industries here that the debt load would be offset. When I was a young boy growing up in Oliver, I worked at a turkey farm where they did grow them and process for the market place. I also remember on Black Sage Road in

Oliver a Cattle holding yard which was very large. Both of these places had no real smell and the noise was no worse than where I live now on South Victoria Road. We have to allow business to come to Summerland. Most medium to large operations are never going to fit perfectly but they will bring jobs and income to a town. Chris Pond Summerland

for mining reviews Dear Editor: The first week of May is mining week in B.C., and although current legislation in B.C. provides effective environmental controls, the permitting and review processes are lengthy and the outcomes often uncertain. In far too many cases, the process is bogged down by inconsis-

tency and significant delays. Not only does this undermine the confidence of investors, it also prevents us from growing the government’s revenue base to pay

for such things as increased funding for healthcare and education. Something to think about in the first week of May. Randy Rinaldo Burnaby

Switch to natural gas and save Natural gas offers convenience, comfort and affordability. And when you switch from fuel oil or propane to a high-efficiency natural gas heating system, you could get a $1,000 rebate.3 To learn more, visit fortisbc.com/switchnshrink. These are approximate annual natural gas costs for space heating of a typical household in specific FortisBC service areas as identified. A typical household is defined as an existing single family house approximately 2,300 square feet with three occupants, average insulation and heating systems older than 15 years. The savings will be the difference between what you pay for current heating costs and natural gas costs. Calculations based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of January 2013 and fuel oil rates in each service area identified as of November 2012, and include the applicable carbon tax. Savings may vary by household. Savings do not include potential rebates and/or incentives. 1

Fuel rates for the Columbia region are similar to those of the Interior south and Interior north regions as of January 2013.

Summerland Review Thursday, May 2, 2013

In preparation for the May 14 provincial election, the Review asked questions to the four candidates in the riding of Penticton. The following are the candidate answers.

Dan Ashton

B.C. Liberals What sets you apart as a candidate?  Dedication, experience and a solid track record of being innovative, taking on difficult issues and getting them addressed in a timely and efficient manner. An in depth, hands on knowledge of municipal and regional government including a history of accomplishments by working together with the provincial and federal governments. A strong financial background that includes family business experience as well as serving as a trustee with the triple AAA rated Municipal Finance Authority (MFA), the agency that finances the borrowings for all municipalities in B.C. excluding Vancouver.  What would you do to strengthen the economy in this riding?  Continue to reduce red tape and look for efficiencies that control the cost of government to make it easier for those that want to contribute to the economy. Expand and enhance rural broadband internet access to our surrounding un-serviced areas to support home base business and office opportunities. Look at revitalizing legacy heritage buildings like the packing house to support artisans, growers, vintners, non-profits societies and other small local producers. Let’s give agriculture and associated industry

Questioning candidates

the opportunity to grow and create in a way that enriches our community character and better connects us to our region. It is also important we maximize provincial and federal grant opportunities to keep these projects affordable for local taxpayers.

What would you do to encourage job creation?   Hold the line on additional taxation and then when possible, cut taxes to spur private sector job creation and growth. Continue to focus on controlling the cost of government; just as I have done in Penticton and at the Regional District. Streamline regulation and avoid duplication, which is not productive or efficient for anyone. Work with employers, communities and education institutions to enable job creation by expanding skill training. We need to ensure that skills local employers need have local training opportunities available to keep our kids in our communities and not moving to Alberta. If you are elected but your party does not form the next government, how will you ensure the needs of the riding are addressed? I have a great track record of working together to accomplish what needs to be done. I treat everyone how I like to be treated and this election is about our future and keeping British Columbia affordable. We are there for the benefit of all the citizens of the communities we represent and Government should address the needs of a community. I will use my inter-governmental experience and knowledge of provincial and federal government programs to ensure we continue to get projects approvals that are completed on time and on budget. In Penticton critics said we couldn’t upgrade our sewer and water infrastructure, build an upgraded community centre and lower taxes. We proved when you

challenge the status quo and do things differently you can succeed at those things. I will fight tirelessly and fight diligently, not only for projects like the Penticton Hospital upgrades, but also for keeping BC affordable. Taxpayers cannot afford to pay more and be ignored as we were in the 1990s. Let’s keep building our region and keep the needs of communities first and not be dictated to by Victoria.

to attract this clean industry to our area. After all we are the best place in Canada to live and people in this industry are very mobile. This should be done in addition to supporting our traditional industries like logging and tourism as well as promoting the growing industry of eco-tourism. What would you do to encourage job creation?   Job creation goes hand in hand with

our economy so we need, as a province, to work together to grow our economy in a sustainable fashion. Working together is a key to growth and I envision 60 MLAs who are independent working together in committees to move us forward.

If you are elected but your party does not form the next government, how will you ensure the needs of the riding are addressed?

SUMMERLAND BOTTLE DEPOT Open Monday - Saturday 8:30am - 4:30pm

Doug Maxwell B.C. First

What sets you apart as a candidate?  B.C. First and I agree that the elimination of party politics would give us a return to a true democracy. It would allow the people in this riding to have a say on all issues as the MLA would be responsible to the voters and constituents instead of to a party or premier. The MLA candidates would also be on an even playing field if our policy of individual donations only (no corporations or individuals) to a maximum of $1,000 were adopted. Our 10-point policy list outlines how a true democratic system should be set up. What would you do to strengthen the economy in this riding?  The best way to strengthen our economy is to work together all over B.C. to move forward as a whole. This would work better if party politics didn’t get in the way because one party seems to immediately take the opposite opinion of the one bringing an idea forward. Penticton riding should quickly explore the information technology business and find out how

B.C. First and I know we will not form the next government but we believe that a systemic change is needed in our provincial governing system to return to a true democracy so we will move forward in all areas and prosper in the long term. Change starts with small steps and the first step is to elect two, three, four or five independent MLAs that will work for constituents and promote these changes from within. I

know that there has never been a political party leave office with a smaller debt than when they started and we now pay $2.5 billion plus for interest alone. That doesn’t even start to reduce our debt. It seems that party politics is great for a few individuals but has almost bankrupt our province. What happens if interest rates rise to 25 per cent like it was in 1981? Change must start now! Continued on Page 8

E l e c t i o n politician, at heart I am a scientist who wants to use my knowledge and experience to give back to my community; to examine the evidence and find the solutions to the problems we face as a province. What would you do to strengthen the economy in this riding?  I believe there are two practical steps we can take to improve our local economy: expand Penticton Regional Hospital, and support our agricultural sector. PRH is in dire need of an upgrade, and Adrian Dix also understands the health care needs we face and agrees that the hospital expansion must and will be built. But in addition to improving health outcomes this project will bring a much needed boost to our local construction industry, giving us

ever more reason to fight for health care spending to be based on need not partisan politics, and stop the political games that have delayed this and many other infrastructure projects. Agriculture is also an important part of our local economy, and New Democrats will encourage hospital purchasing of locally grown food to support local farmers and orchardists, expand funding for replant programs to allow orchardists to plant higher-value crops and increase their competitiveness, and undertake a comprehensive review to modernize B.C.’s archaic liquor laws to support local wineries, breweries, and distilleries. What would you do to encourage job creation?   The lack of jobs in B.C. is slowly becoming a crisis. While we

have seen many flashy ads for Christy Clark’s B.C. Jobs Plan the sad reality is that since the plan went into effect our province has lost 34,000 jobs. But the problem is not just that people do not have jobs, it is also that there are many jobs out there that cannot be filled because there are not enough workers with the skills needed to do those jobs. There is a growing skills shortage in B.C. and many local businesses are suffering because we have not invested enough money in skills training and post-secondary education. The B.C. Liberals have ignored this crisis and cut funding to postsecondary education. The B.C. NDP will actually address this problem by creating a $100 million needsbased grant program to reduce the cost of higher education, increasing apprenticeship spaces, and improving processes to assess and recognize the foreign credentials of immigrants. Job growth is going to come from investing in skills training, and in the people of British Columbia. If you are elected but your party does not form the next government, how will you ensure the needs of the riding are addressed? I will fight for the interests of this riding in the legislature and make sure that whichever party forms government does not take the voters of this area for granted like they have been for the last several years. I will have an open-door policy to meet and listen to all concerned citizens, and will take those concerns to the B.C.

Thursday, May 2, 2013 Summerland Review NDP caucus and to the legislature. I was born and raised in this valley, and so were my parents, and while I have travelled extensively this place has always been home for me. I will not be discouraged from continuing to stand up for my home, and working to bring change for the better to this riding and this province.

Sean Upshaw

Conservatives What sets you apart as a candidate?  I am not a professional politician, which means I have been making a living in the marketplace, out with the majority of taxpayers. I have been running a private business which helps me see things more practically. I have founded three nonprofit organizations whose sole purpose was to help people. This gives me compassion for people that are finding things difficult and gave me the opportunity of connecting them with people that could help them through their struggles. Creating a win/win situation. What would you do to strengthen the economy in this riding?  I strongly believe the MLA and any elected government person should be an ambassador for the area, always endeav-

ouring to be promoting and attracting businesses that fit in with the areas demographics. This area is a very cultural and outdoor lifestyle area and as such these types of industries should be promoted. There are so many reasons many software/computer or ecotourism-based companies would want to locate to this area. This should be sought after. What would you do to encourage job creation?   I would seek out all industry leaders and fight for competitive tax breaks from all levels of government in order to attract companies to locate here. I would also make sure the learning institutions were inline with projected industries so that the local talent base could be tapped into. Students would not have to relocate to other areas of the province or other provinces if we would provide high paying alternatives. If you are elected but your party does not form the next government, how will you ensure the needs of the riding are addressed? By recognizing that each riding deserves “Compassionate Bulldog” attention. Too many politicians have been passive thinking that their role is simply what is assigned to them by party leaders. Not realizing their marching orders should be coming from the needs of the constituents. Even when one is in opposition, through strength and co-operation much can be accomplished.

Ask Your Dentist...

I am frustrated with my bottom denture. I thought it would be more like my teeth but I can’t chew like Dr. Cindee Melashenko I used to and I really don’t it. What can I do to change that? Dentures are not meant to be a replacement for teeth, they are a replacement for NO teeth. Most of us expect dentures to work just like our teeth. We expect to eat everything and chew the same way we did with our teeth but we find out quickly that we cannot. The first step to solving dentures that do not fit is to find out if the bite is set up well. That can be evaluated that during an exam. During the exam we can also verify that the denture fits the gums well. Sometimes we can add a soft liner to the denture to make it fit better. Once the bite and fit are good, implants or mini implants can be used to help secure the dentures so that you can chew without them moving. In the lower jaw, we usually use a minimum of 2 implants to secure a denture. Some of my patients don’t have very much bone left because they have been wearing a denture so long, so we may have to use 4 mini implants to do the same thing. I encourage you to see if you are a candidate for implants to help you be more secure in smiling with your denture and eating the foods you want to eat. 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!

Attend the forum and hear our MLA candidates so you can make an informed choice on Election Day.

The Pick Up Poop Party held at Peach Orchard beach this past weekend was a huge success. Pamela Ayotte, president of the Summerland Dog Owners’ Association, said it was a “fabulous turnout” with 16 members and five non members showing up to help with the clean up. “We want to be positive role models within the community and that is why we participated in this event today,”

she said. “We volunteered our time to keep Summerland beautiful and poop free.” Earlier this spring, the dog owners’ group held a cleanup initiative, in part to build better relationships between those residents who own dogs and those who do not. The next project for the association is to work with local committees and Summerland Municipal Council to develop and maintain clean, safe, leashed and

unleashed recreation areas for dogs. One of their goals is to try and get a regulated fenced dog park in Summerland. Not only will this be a benefit to local dog owners, but also to tourists who may have their dogs along with them on vacation. At present, Summerland has an off leash dog beach at the south end of Peach Orchard Beach. There is also a large dog swimming area at Sun-Oka Beach Provincial Park.

Thursday, May 2, 2013 Summerland Review

Why every mother needs a time-out (NC)—Mothers are so busy taking care of everyone else, they often put themselves last on the list. If you are a busy mom, here are some simple ideas to nurture and pamper yourself and keep that inner spark glowing: Diet and Exercise: Women who eat right and get enough sleep usually experience greater levels of energy, lower levels of stress, and increased self-esteem. In fact, some forms of exercise can be fun to do with children too, so everyone can benefit. Home Spa: A woman deserves to be pampered, but she doesn’t always have the time or budget to get away for some spa time. Why not turn your bathroom into a home spa to help you enjoy the relaxation and beauty benefits of a sublime soak. Pursue Hobbies: A few hours of pure creative engagement apart from the family (think art class, photography, or a pot-

tery workshop) can recharge your batteries. Volunteer: Volunteering is another way to nurture your interests and connect with other people. This is especially important for stay-at-home moms. Find a cause you’re passionate about, or get involved with a local organization like Christian Children’s Fund of Canada (www.ccfcanada.ca) and help improve the lives of children and mothers living in poverty around the world. Build Your Support Network: Who’s on your speed dial? Develop a set of close connections you can depend on in a pinch, and vice versa. Most professionals agree that it’s important for mothers to aim for balance in their lives. Taking care of yourself, for example, will not only give you time away from your loved ones to reflect and appreciate, but will add vitality and reduce stress. Your entire family will benefit.

Women’s Health Simple tips for moms to live and love longer (NC)— Heart disease and stroke is a leading cause of death for women in Canada, but most don’t know it. The good news is that women can reduce their risk by as much as 80 per cent by making lifestyle changes, says the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

• Exercising: a minimum of three sessions of weight-bearing exercise plus 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous-intensity aerobic activity – in minimum of 10-minute increments – each week.

This Mother’s Day, here’s what mom can do to put herself first and protect her heart to make health last:

• Eating right: Seven to eight servings of vegetables and fruit each day, plus limited consumption of sodium and saturated and trans fats, , puts women on the right track.

• Stay tobacco free or quit smoking—while smoking is an addiction and quitting may be difficult, with help and a plan, it may become easier.

• Reduce stress by taking the time to relax, unwind and enjoy simple pleasures.

Give some charm to all the mothers in your family

Thursday, May 2, 2013 Summerland Review

Improving your Vision will improve your Life

(NC)—With gestures, gifts and cards, Mother’s Day is a perfect opportunity to show our enduring appreciation for our wives, mothers, aunts, sisters and grandmothers. This may sound easy enough, but isn’t it true that family life in the 21st century is a bit more complicated? “We live in a time when the average family has more than one kind of mother figure to celebrate,” says Janette Ewen, a style expert for leading jewelry brand, Pandora. “No two households are alike these days and with that in mind, Pandora has created a series of familyinspired charms.”

13225 Victoria Rd. N.

If you want to find just the right Mother’s Day gift, or gifts, Ewen suggests the following ideas, which can cut your shopping time in half.

250-494-9266 “Serving Summerland Since 1980”

A gift to: Mother: Make Mom’s day with a hand-finished, sterling silver heart, engraved with the word “Mom” in eight different languages. Mother from Son: Be the prince of thoughtfulness: give her a blueenamel, heart-shaped double-dangle charm that says “Son” on the inside of one half, and “Mother” on the other half. Both hearts feature a textured sterling silver and oxidized design. This highly-requested charm joins last year’s red enamel “Mother/Daughter” version.. Great Women: In sterling silver and sparkling cubic zirconia, honour the bonds between your female family members with a dangle that says “Sweet Sister,” “Loving Mother” or “Grandmother.” All three dangles have space on the back to engrave a message to transform the charm into a personal keepsake. You’re Like a Mother to Me: Touch her angelic heart with a “Love & Family” sterling silver charm featuring 12 smiling faces; or, let her know that you are “Purrfect Together” with a pair of sterling silver cats joining their tails in the shape of a heart.

Critteraid to scale down operations by John Arendt

Because of rising veterinary costs, Critteraid, Summerland’s animal sanctuary, is working to reduce the number of cats in

its care. “With veterinary advances, we’re able to do more, but with that comes a cost,” said Deborah Silk, president of Critteraid.

Dan Gets it Done. Dan Ashton

Last year, total veterinary costs at Critteraid came to $62,859.39. From January to March of this year, Critteraid’s bill for prescriptions and veterinary care has come to $45,040.88. At present, Critteraid has 51 cats, 24 rabbits, 13 guinea pigs, five alpacas, two horses, four guest horses, two donkeys, one dog and one cow in its care.

Silk said the animal sanctuary wants to reduce the number of cats to 40, but there is no timeline or deadline for this goal. Some of the reduction will come when an animal dies or when an animal is adopted. At present, the number of animal adoptions is low. Those who want to adopt from Critteraid must go through an application pro-

cess, which includes an inspection of the home where the animal will live. “We are the agent for the cat and we have to look out for the best interests of the cat,” Silk said. While the adoption requirements are stringent, Silk said she anticipates more people giving homes to the animals in the future. “I think we are going to start seeing

more adoptions,” she said. “More and more people are coming forward, albeit slowly, to take on special needs animals.” Critteraid was formed in 1992 to help feral cats and unadoptable cats. The organization does not take cats which have been surrendered by their owners, as these cats will do better in shelters. While volunteers

would like to be able to take in more animals, Silk said the shelter is not able to accommodate them all. “We have to concentrate on the ones that are presently under our roof,” she said, “but it still impacts us. There could be 10 Critteraids in every community and sometimes I wonder if that would still be enough.”

Summerland 250-494-7752

September 11, 1950 - April 28, 2013 At her home and orchard in Summerland, BC Wendy died peacefully surrounded by members of her family. Wendy was born in Toronto, ON, first daughter of Ivan and Kathleen Mullen (nee Nesbit), followed shortly by a move back to Weymouth Mills, NS where she was raised by her father and step mother, Ruth Mullen, following her mother’s early death, in a large and closely knit family. She is survived by her loving husband Gordon, her step daughter Katharine (Terry) Hayes, her beloved grandchildren Ryan and Piper Hayes, her step mother Ruth Mullen of Weymouth, NS, her sisters Wanda Steuri of Red Deer, AB and Deborah (Paul) Randolph of Greenville, NC, her brother Allen (Wanda) Mullen of Weymouth, NS and her sole surviving Aunt, also of Weymouth, NS. The family is enormously grateful for the wonderful medical care and oversight provided by the BC Cancer Agency at Kelowna and Penticton, by Alberta Cancer Board at Tom Baker Cancer Centre, Calgary, by the marvelous physicians and staff at Penticton Regional Hospital, and at Summerland, and to the superb home care staff nurses at the Summerland unit of Interior Health, BC over the past two years. Words alone are insufficient to express thanks. A Memorial service will be held at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, 9311 Prairie Valley Road, Summerland on Friday, May 10, 2013 at 1 o’clock in the afternoon followed by tea at the Church Hall adjoining. In Wendy’s honour, please consider a donation to the Alberta Cancer Foundation, BC Cancer Foundation or the Penticton Regional Hospital Foundation. Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com.

Launch will be filmed Continued from Page 1

Knowlton, along with Principal Chris Van Bergeyk and Vice-Principal Doug MacDonald, are also involved, as is Jack Wrobel, a radiocontrolled helicopter expert. “This is probably the most complex balloon that’s ever gone up,” Knowlton said. The balloon launch will be coordinated with transport Canada.

In addition, the public can watch live coverage of the flight online at sasaballoon. ca. Later, the edited video will be posted to the site. Knowlton got the idea for the balloon project in September, when he was invited to the Canadian Space Agency to attend astronaut Chris Hadfield’s launch. “It’s a natural thank-you card to Chris Hadfield for

what he’s doing,” Knowlton said. During his time in space, Hadfield is serving as commander of the International Space Station. When the balloon is launched, Transport Canada will restrict access to the airspace in the balloon’s path. Once it lands, it will be recovered. “We’ve carefully put a lot of components into it,” Knowlton said.
