YOUR SMILE A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures for anything.

Two people suffered minor injuries after a rock slide onto Highway 97, just two kilometres north of Summerland, late Sunday morning. Matt Strength was driving northbound near La Punta Norte Bed and Breakfast when he saw rocks and dirt plunge down the mountain and on to the busy highway, creating a fog of dust. “There was this huge dust cloud from where the rocks came down and then we saw two vehicles that just managed to get out of the way of it. They came right out of this big dust cloud like something out of a movie,” he said. As the dust started clearing he jumped out of his vehicle and ran to where one car appeared to be hit. He was followed by the driver of the vehicle in front of him. “You could hear a car horn blaring in the distance and we realized someone got hit by those rocks. One guy ran over to the driver and helped him get out. The driver was banged up a bit with scratches to his forehead, some kind of chest trauma and looked like a twisted or broken ankle,” said Strength. The female passenger in the vehicle hit by the slide was unconscious and as others began digging debris from the back of the vehicle, Strength and one other person started pulling rocks from the passenger side door. “Once we got to her a physician that was in the traffic came over and handled everything. At one point the woman was unconscious but she came to and she definitely was not feeling too good. The physician deemed her neck was alright so we moved her out. She was pretty uncomfortable and it wasn’t long

Two passengers from Alberta suffered minor injuries after a rock slide hit their vehicle while heading southbound on Highway 97 late Sunday morning. Traffic was slow going through the area until it was completely cleaned up Tuesday.

“They came right out of this big dust cloud like something out of a movie” Matt Strength after that the paramedics got there,” said Strength. Strength said the impact of the rocks pushed the vehicle three lanes over, moving a traffic barrier. “It definitely wasn’t as bad as it could have been. I grew up in the Okanagan and you always hear about landslides and rockslides on the highways but this was the first time I had seen it

first hand. It was pretty shocking and I didn’t even really think about it when I ran out to help until afterwards and the adrenaline was going,” said Strength. RCMP said the slide occurred around 11:26 a.m. and the two Alberta residents in the vehicle were transported to the Penticton Hospital then released Sunday evening. Sgt. Stephane Lacroix

said it is believed most of their injuries were caused by the airbags being deployed. He said the outcome could have been worse, considering the amount of rock and dirt that fell. “To see that coming down towards you must be terrifying. It is a good thing no one was completely buried or pushed into the lake. There was no warning so there is not much they could have done to get out of the way. They were lucky,” said Lacroix. Vehicles were at a standstill temporarily on Highway 97 on Sunday before two lanes of traffic were opened to allow drivers from the

north and south through. Murray Tekano, district manager for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, said he expected the area to be cleaned up on Tuesday and all lanes of traffic to be opened. He believes about 500 cubic metres of rock and dirt fell from the face of the mountain. “There is rock mesh there to capture rock fall when it occurs and direct it into the ditch. In this case the rock came down and the system worked largely as it was intended to capture it into the ditch but it was overwhelmed because of the volume and that is what flooded onto the highway,” said Tekano.

Quiet Canada Day for RCMP by John Arendt Police road checks in Summerland showed drivers were sober on the Canada Day weekend. Cpl. Bruce Haley of the Summerland RCMP detachment said there were no impaired or prohibited drivers stopped at any of the road checks around the holiday. “We were blessed to have no occurrences on the weekend,” he said. “Hopefully that’s the way

we’re going to kick off the summer.” Around the province, police found more than 20 impaired drivers each day as 82 were removed from the roads, according to preliminary statistics from the RCMP. The numbers include: o 12 novice drivers were issued 12-hour suspensions o 20 drivers received 24-hour suspensions for alcohol consumption. o 62 drivers

received three-day or seven-day immediate roadside prohibitions. o 77 drivers were issued 90-day driving prohibitions after they failed the screening device or refused to provide a sample. o three drivers were charged under the Criminal Code for impaired driving by alcohol o two drivers were charged under the Criminal Code for impaired driving by drugs o 11 drivers

received drug-related 24-hour suspensions During the same period in 2013, RCMP across the province charged 186 impaired drivers. “The lack of drug or alcohol-involved fatalities over the extended long weekend shows that more and more drivers are making the right decisions,” said Cpl. Robert McDonald of the RCMP’s E Division Traffic Services, “but one impaired driver on B.C. roads is one too many.”

POLICE REPORT Stolen vehicle

RCMP said a vehicle was stolen from the A&W parking lot on Monday morning. The report came in around 11 a.m. that an employee last saw their 2008 Jeep Cherokee Wrangler when they left it in the parking lot at 6:30 a.m. Sgt. Stephane Lacroix said there has been a rash of stolen vehicles throughout the Okanagan corridor from Osoyoos to Peachland. He said in particular the thieves seem to be targeting Honda’s. Lacroix reminded residents to lock their vehicles and not to leave valuables such as money, cell phones or other electronic devices as that only makes it more appealing for thieves to try and get into the vehicle. Lacroix said if anyone sees the Jeep Cherokee Wrangler that was reported stolen to not take issues into their own hands. He said call 911 and provide the direction of travel of the vehicle and how many occupants are in it.

Bike patrols

Summerland Mounties have been swapping four wheels for two when possible. Bike patrols have been out since the Actionfest weekend in the downtown core and beaches. “We try to get out there whenever we can because it is a great way for us to connect with the community,” said Lacroix.

Canada Day weekend

RCMP said everyone was behaved on the Canada Day long weekend. There were only a small amount of complaints, mostly related to loud parties.

Trail announcement The provincial government and the municipality will contribute $500,000 for a onekilometre trail section along Okanagan Lake, parallel to Highway 97. From left are Coun. Orv Robson, MP Dan Ashton, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone, Mayor Janice Perrino, Trail of the Okanagans chair Connie Denesiuk and Trail of the Okanagans member Don Gemmell. John Arendt Summerland Review

Funding presented for trail by John Arendt

Construction on the first segment of the Summerland Lakeshore Pathway will begin next summer, now that the province and the municipality have contributed a total of $500,000 for the work. The funding announcement was made on Thursday afternoon at Lakeshore Drive, near Highway 97. Under the agreement, the province is contributing $420,000, while the municipality is contributing $80,000. The trail segment is just over one kilometre in length. It will run parallel to Highway 97 along the lake between Lakeshore Drive and Illahie Beach.

“We’re very excited about the Summerland Lakeshore Pathway,” said Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure for the province. “We’re very committed to investing in community trails.” He said the trail is the first part of a much longer trail network, eventually extending to Penticton. Mayor Janice Perrino said the proposed trail concept was first suggested six years ago. She said members of council did not expect the province would provide this amount of funding. “We never dreamed the provincial government would come forward,” she said. “We thought we’d

have to fundraise for the whole thing ourselves. When we got the support handed to us, we couldn’t turn it down.” The municipality’s portion of the money will come from a trails reserve fund. In addition to the $80,000 contribution for the construction, the municipality had earlier contributed $20,000 for the design concept for the trail. Dan Ashton, MLA for the riding of Penticton, said the trail will be part of a much longer system, benefitting the entire region. “Very soon this trail will be a link to the whole Okanagan,” he said. Construction will begin in the spring of 2015, with

the work to be completed by the end of the summer, Stone said. “This trail can be build with minimal disruption,” he said. “It should be a straightforward project.” Connie Denesiuk, chair of the Trail of the Okanagans committee, said the trail segment is an important step in creating the proposed trail. “This represents a significant step forward in the vision of a multi-purpose trail that goes from Osoyoos to Summerland and eventually beyond,” she said. She added that the work done by the municipality and the province, especially Ashton’s support of the project, is appreciated.

Clear message needed for Trans Canada users Decision sought on Trans-Canada Trail policy by John Arendt The signs along the Summerland portion of the TransCanada Trail state that the trail is for non-motorized transportation only, but trail advocates say the provincial government does not have the regulations necessary for such a policy. “Regulations were not put in place to make it happen,” said Henry Sielmann, president of the Summerland Trans-Canada Trails Society and a director of the Okanagan region of Trails B.C.

He added that a consistent, clear message is needed for the trail. At present, maps and signs for trail use state that the trail is for non-motorized transportation. These signs and maps bear the logos of the province and the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen in addition to the trail society’s logo. However the presence of motorized off-road vehicles continues on the trail. “You will almost certainly encounter motorized vehicles along the route, particularly ATVs and dirt bikes, which could be travelling at high speeds,” the Summerland TransCanada Trail’s website states. “Over the

years, unregulated motorized use has degraded the trail surface along the Kettle Valley Railway, making many areas quite challenging for hikers and cyclists.” Sielmann said legislation is needed to clarify who is allowed on the trail. “It’s about time this gets sorted out,” he said. 8

The ownership of the trail rests with the province. Special courtesy signs have been set up for the upcoming ATV B.C. Jamboree which will be held at the Crump station, west of Faulder, later this month. Signs urging respect for all trail users have been created, bearing the logos of the Sum-

merland Trans-Canada Trail Society, the Summerland ATV Group, the province and the Regional District of Okanangan Similkameen. In addition, the Summerland TransCanada Trail Society and the Summerland ATV Group will have cameras in place to monitor the volume and types of use on the trail in the area.

EDITORIAL

our pick

Trail construction A new trail, to be constructed between Lakeshore Drive and Illahie Beach, is the first piece in a much longer trail concept with the potential to link communities throughout the Okanagan Valley. On Thursday, the province and the municipality announced a partnership to pay for the $500,000 trail section. Under the agreement, the province will contribute $420,000 while the municipality will contribute $80,000. The long-term benefits of this trail are easy to see. If a good trail system is in place, it can serve as a tourism draw, just as similar regional walking and cycling trails have helped to attract tourists in other areas. The trail also has an immediate benefit, namely improved safety for those who want to walk or cycle from Lakeshore Drive to Trout Creek. The multi-use path will provide a safe way to travel, separate from the traffic on Highway 97. The trail funding announcement is significant since the province is contributing the bulk of the funding. In the past, many funding announcements required the municipality to cover one-quarter, one-third or one-half the cost of the project. This time, Summerland’s share of the cost is much lower. At the same time, the proposed Trail of the Okanagans is not just a one-kilometre segment in Summerland. Trail organizers hope to have a multi-use trail extending throughout the valley. Whether similar funding agreements are made for future segments of the trail remains to be seen. The first segment will show what can be done to create a good multi-use trail. Creating the entire trail will require multiple partnerships, not only with the province but with local governments, regional districts and service organizations throughout the Okanagan.

Over the Canada Day weekend, police did not charge any motorists in the community for impaired or prohibited driving. This is a pleasant change from the results of other check stops in the past. Impaired driving is a serious matter and it can have tragic consequences. To all Summerland drivers who chose not to drive after drinking, the entire community thanks you.

A brief history of treaty talks VICTORIA – A few weeks before the landmark decision declaring aboriginal title proven by the Tsilhqot’in Nation, I picked up a used university textbook that looked like a handy reference. Geography in British Columbia: People and Landscapes in Transition, by Brett McGillivray (UBC Press, Second Edition) is a good reference, except where it strays from geography into politics. This 2005 edition came Tom Fletcher out not long before the B.C. Treaty Commission started producing agreements, notably with the Tsawwassen First Nation. It recounts the establishment of the Ministry of Native Affairs by the Bill Vander Zalm government in 1990, and the election the next year of Mike Harcourt’s NDP, who reversed the province’s historical legal position and tried to accept the existence of aboriginal title. At this point the textbook departs from the facts and leads its freshman pupils into left-wing dogma. McGillivray writes: “When the Liberal Party won the 2001 election (with all but two seats), it launched a province-wide referendum on treaty negotiations, prompting commentators to suggest the government was ‘trying to impose 19th century ideas on a 21st century problem’.” “Commentators” in the above quote is of course only one commentator, veteran lefty

Vancouver columnist Stephen Hume. This quote was indeed representative of the media consensus at the time. On TV, aboriginal leaders burned their ballots while denouncing the referendum as racist and divisive. The public, and later university students, were taught that Gordon Campbell’s government was exploiting racism for political gain. In fact, this referendum was one of a long series of efforts to untangle the legal knot left by Canada and B.C.’s failure to complete historical treaties after 1900. Seven of the eight questions in the 2002 referendum were simply to confirm the existing position of B.C. treaty negotiators. The purpose, then as now, was to settle treaties. The first question asked if private land should be exempt from expropriation for treaty settlements. Private property rights are not so much a 19th century idea as a 17th century one, defined in 1690 by John Locke. What remains true today is that no society has made significant social and environmental progress without individual property rights. See the woeful state of most of Canada’s communally owned aboriginal reserves, where individually owned property isn’t permitted. The Tsilhqot’in dropped claims of property held by nonaboriginal residents from their appeal to the highest court, a wise move considering that pushing people from their homes would lead to violent

confrontations. Other referendum questions related to preserving public access to Crown land for hunting, fishing and park use. All were endorsed. The only new question asked if aboriginal self-government “should have the characteristics of local government, with powers delegated from Canada and British Columbia.” Arguably, that’s what has emerged from the Tsilhqot’in case, which upholds provincial jurisdiction over public forest policy on environmental and fire protection on aboriginal title lands. By 2009, frustrated with a lack of progress, due to Ottawa’s inaction as well as inconsistent leadership from aboriginal communities, the Campbell government tried to cut the knot. Its proposed Recognition Act would have accepted a form of aboriginal title across the province, based on 30 historical “indigenous nations.” That idea originated not with the province but with the First Nations Leadership Council. It was rejected by a broader group of aboriginal leaders later that year. The best way forward, also endorsed in the 2002 referendum, is sharing land use planning. B.C. has also begun sharing resource revenues. The most likely path, however, is back to court for years to come. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

bad apples For years, Trans-Canada Trail proponents have said the trail is for nonmotorized use only, but the province does not have the regulations in place to back up this statement. As a result, disagreements about the use of the trail continue to surface. Whether the province chooses to designate this trail for nonmotorized use only or whether the trail is open to dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles, a decision is needed.

Summerland Review Thursday, July 10, 2014

Dear Editor. The recent ruling on the B.C. Tsilhqot’in Indian’s land claim will be entered in the history books as being one of the more radical rulings ever rendered by the Supreme Court of Canada. Without any consideration for the rights and needs of the other 4.5 million British Columbians it arbitrarily ruled all B.C. Crown lands and resources belong to the Indians.

It has put a big dark cloud of uncertainty over the province of B.C., as well as the rest of Canada in terms of citizenship, economic development, and rights to title and resources for all Canadians, Indians included. The failure of the B.C. government to consult is one issue, however, entitlement is quite another. The court failed to make that distinction, and rendered a ruling that is

www.summerlandreview.com 5

Treaty ruling puts province into uncertainty unbelievably one-sided. The ruling is also devastating for millions of multi-generation Canadians who were born and raised on Canadian soil, not to mention millions of immigrants who came to Canada and were told ‘we are all united as citizens and equal under the law’. In other countries, when you become a citizen, you become a full partner with the same rights and responsibilities as

all the other citizens. That will never be the case in Canada for as long as we continue to be a British colony. This ruling is just one more example of a dysfunctional judiciary that is appointed on a political whim, and accountable to absolutely no-one. Andy Thomsen Summerland

THE EARLY YEARS

Art housed in history

The new home of the Summerland Community Arts Centre isn’t new at all. Constructed in 1912, the building was one of the first to be built in West Summerland. Over the years it has housed a varied range of businesses from barber shops, butcher shops, cafes and a department store (Elliott’s shown here ca. 1948) to hardware stores, carpet stores and a distinctive gift shop. The progression to a unique and diverse art gallery seems appropriate. In keeping with being unique, the Grand Re-Opening of the Arts Centre features a pancake breakfast served by the First Summerland Scouts. Sounds great! See you there on Saturday, July 12, 9 to 11 a.m.

What do you expect when you call 9-1-1? Dear Editor, When British Columbians call 9-1-1 to seek emergency medical assistance, they do so because they are experiencing a situation that requires an immediate response beyond their own capabilities. Firefighters, as the first responders in B.C., are generally first on-scene and provide medical and scene management support until paramedics are able to respond. Last fall BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) made changes to how it allocates its resources by having ambulances respond to certain medical calls in a‚ routine or non-priority, manner as opposed to previous designation of‚ emergency or lights and sirens. The BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) argued these changes contained in the Resource Allocation Plan (RAP) were necessary to improve response times for those patients with the most urgent medical needs. At the BCPFFA, we are calling this move what it really is: the Ambulance Services scramble, as directed by the BCEHS, to manage a shortage of available ambulances and paramedics. The BCPFFA is strongly opposed to these changes and supports the call for more ambulances and paramedics. As any emergency worker can tell

you, once a call is downgraded to nonpriority from emergency, the timeline to get to the incident changes. Our members have seen a number of cases where patients in distress (heavy bleeding, head injuries, spinal injuries and loss of consciousness) are being considered non-priority, leading to increasingly longer response times by ambulances, which we find simply unacceptable. Since these changes were quietly implemented last fall, firefighters across the province are noticing much longer wait times for paramedics to arrive at an incident. In an increasing number of cases the wait for an ambulance can be between 40 and 50 minutes longer than before the protocol changes. Is this what you expect when you call 9-1-1? One of the biggest obstacles professional firefighters encounter in serving the needs of their communities is the inability for simultaneous dispatch, where 9-1-1 operators can send what the system views as an appropriate level of response. Fire is dispatched only when certain criterion is met or after it’s determined that an ambulance is unavailable to respond as required. Critical minutes are lost in this process and patient care is being compromised. In our view, operators should be sending on-duty trained firefighters

to determine the level of patient care needed and granting them the authority to upgrade or downgrade the level of response required by ambulance. In Canada, the standards for emergency medical response are less than nine minutes in nine out of ten calls, or in the 90th percentile. BCAS chooses to report only average response times, which in our view is not a true reflection of how emergency responses should be disclosed. The North American standards are much higher, at four to six minutes for most medical emergent calls. BCEHS targets 12 minutes, and meets that goal 52 percent of the time for the highest priority calls. Prior to the recent RAP changes, first responders attended 35 percent of medical calls. If the recent RAP changes are fully implemented, first responders will respond to approximately 25 percent of medical calls. By changing its response to 74 of 868 call types, including downgrading 39 to non-priority, BCEHS is condoning a delayed response to the emergent needs of your community. Is this acceptable to you and your loved ones when emergency medical care is required? We are urging the government through the BCEHS to return the medical response to what the Cain Report

in 1989 envisioned of an ambulance service, which was a layered response, with firefighters being simultaneously dispatched to medical emergencies within their community and jurisdiction. Wait times are becoming dangerously long and putting undue stress on those in need of immediate care. British Columbia has population growth and the aging Baby Boomer generation make it essential that this discussion, along with an informed and integrated systemic response to these challenges, shape the future of the emergency services system. BCPFFA wants to work with all stakeholders to ensure that British Columbians receive the care and attention required when they call 9-1-1 and we are not confident they are getting it today. If you need to call 9-1-1 for yourself or someone else in need, how long are you prepared to wait for assistance? Are you okay with the system deciding that you don’t have a real emergency? Professional firefighters on duty in your community are committed to responding to your emergency when called upon and providing you with the service that you deserve. Michael Hurley is president of the British Columbia Professional Fire Fighters Association (BCPFFA)

The B.C. government is raising speed limits around southern B.C., including a new 120 kilometre per hour limit on three remote stretches of divided fourlane highway. The new maximum applies to the Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Kamloops, the Okanagan Connector (Highway 97C) from Aspen Grove to Peachland and Highway 19 from Parksville to Campbell River. The Coquihalla sections get new 120 km/h signs this week, and more changes will roll out this summer as sign crews put up new limits. In all, 35 sections of rural provincial highway totalling 1,300 kilometres, are getting higher speed limits. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said limits are being raised where traffic studies show the vast majority of traffic is already going faster than the posted limit. A pilot project will test variable speed limits depending on volume and weather conditions. Digital signs that can display different limits will be tested on sections of the Trans-Canada, Coquihalla and Sea-to-Sky highways. The Sea-to-Sky Highway gets an increase from 80 to 90 km/h from Horseshoe Bay to Squamish. Other increases are 80 to 100 km/h on Highway 3 from Manning Park West to Allison Pass, 90 to 100 km/h from Revelstoke to Golden and 100 to 110 km/h on Highway 97C from Merritt to Aspen Grove. In northern B.C., 52 per cent of people taking part in public consultation did not support speed limit increases, and that region will not see changes. All other regions had support, the highest in the Lower Main-

land at 81 per cent. RCMP opposed increasing speed limits on rural highways. ICBC representatives also expressed safety concerns, and will monitor areas with higher limits to see if the severity of crashes increases. However, according to a B.C. government report that outlines public engagement efforts during the highway review process, the RCMP did not support increased speed limits due to safety concerns. Mike Palosky, transportation supervisor for Penticton-based Berry and Smith Trucking, supports the speed increases. “I think in some areas it’s warranted,” he said, adding the company does not, however, plan to immediately adjust the speed limiters on its trucks. Ministry statistics show the number of serious crashes on provincial highways has decreased 28 per cent since 2003, from a combination of improved vehicle technology, driver education and enforcement. The ministry accepted recommendations from RCMP representatives to improve signs that encourage slower traffic to move to right lanes, and to clarify winter tire rules. The ministry is changing regulations to make tires with an “M&S” (mud and snow) symbol as well as those with a “mountain snowflake” (winter) symbol acceptable for roads requiring winter tires. New designs for wildlife warning signs, including lighted signs for high incident areas, are being installed. An updated sign reminding drivers to “Keep Right, Let Others Pass” is being installed, after people around the province expressed frustration about the slow vehicles in passing lanes.

Summerland Review Thursday, July 10, 2014

Classic car culture celebrated Despite the loss of a car show earlier this year, automotive enthusiasts will continue to have a presence in Summerland this summer and fall. Bob Kelly, a member of the Specialty Vehicle Association of B.C., said July has been proclaimed Collector Car Appreciation Month in British Columbia. A proclamation will be issued on Thursday, July 10 at 6:30 p.m. at the Dairy Queen in Summerland. Each Thursday, owners of vintage vehicles gather at the Dairy Queen from 6 to 8 p.m. for a cruisein. The weekly gatherings began in late May and will continue until mid-September. In addition, the Summerland-based Apple Valley Cruisers car club will hold the ninth annual Endless Summer show and shine on Saturday, Sept. 13. In past years, the show had been held on Main Street, Kelly Avenue

and Henry Avenue, but this year, because of the construction of the new library building, the show will be moved to Memorial Park, Wharton Street and a portion of Kelly Avenue. Kelly anticipates around 200 vehicles for the show. While most of the vehicles are from British Columbia, some are from Alberta and the United States. Kelly said car club membership has been declining around the province in recent years. However, there is some interest among younger people in restoring and customizing cars. For the past 12 years, the car club has presented the tool boxes to go to graduates from Penticton and Summerland. The tool box recipients must be good students who wish to continue in transportation mechanics trades work. The Okanagan Rodtiques Car Club is made up of around 50 members from Summerland and Penticton.

Blair Dean, at centre left, and Mitchell Bisson received tool boxes from the Okanagan Rodtiques Car Club. Both of the Penticton Secondary students will attend Okanagan College in Kelowna to study heavy duty mechanics next year.

Arts centre location to open Saturday by John Arendt The Summerland Community Arts Centre will officially open its new location on Saturday morning. The grand reopening will be on Saturday, July 12, from 9 to 11 a.m. It will include a pancake breakfast outside the building, served by the First Summerland Scouts. The breakfast is by donation. The arts centre will occupy the former Willowbrook Lane building on Main Street. The layout of the new facility is much more open than the municipal building. Volunteers and contractors have worked to transform the former retail space into a gallery with space for workshops and

programs. The renovated location includes space for the Summer Art Program which began on Monday as well as space for workshops and space to paint banners. Karan Bowyer, manager of the arts centre, said the gift shop area, at the front of the new location, is considerably larger. This allows the arts centre to feature more locally created items. “We have a bigger selection that we weren’t able to show before,” Bowyer said. The Frieze of the Arts, which was on the outside of the former arts centre location, is on display in the new Adams Room in the new centre. The frieze had been created by the

Summerland Potters’ Guild in May, 2000. It depicts various aspects of the arts. It was unveiled on Sept. 1, 2001. The first show in the new gallery is Travels With My Sketchbook, by Summerland artist Dale Matthews. The show opens on Thursday, July 10. For 16 years, the arts centre occupied the former municipal hall building on Main Street, but earlier this year, that building and the neighbouring property were acquired for the location of the new Summerland branch of the Okanagan Regional Library. Construction on the new library is expected to begin in September, with the completion date scheduled for spring.

Ask Your Dentist...

W h a t happens during a check up?

A check Dr. Cindee Melashenko up is actually made up of quite a few things. First, we discuss any health/ medication changes and update our records. Medical conditions such as diabetes can often result in more tooth decay and more bone loss around your teeth. My goal is to ensure that your body and your teeth/gums are as healthy as possible. During the exam I evaluate your gums or all the “pink” in your mouth. I ensure there are no unhealthy areas – if there are we can take a closer look with a special light. I also measure the gums around each tooth every year to see if they are staying healthy or changing (with good hygiene the measurements often improve!). I take a look at every tooth both visually and by feeling it with my “explorer.” I feel between the fillings/crowns and the tooth for new areas of decay, erosion or wear. I look for areas of risk for current or future problems like cracked teeth, bite issues, hard to clean areas, and cavities or infection on x-rays. As you can see, there are a lot of things we consider during our check up exam. My goal is to help you keep your teeth healthy for life--the check up exam helps us stay on track to meet that goal.

Alyson Sydor and everybody really.” Popular in Europe, Granfondo-style mass participation events allow cyclists to experience the rigours of a full pro-level race with the same support enjoyed by professional cyclists. As Merckx mentioned, a number of Olympians and former professional athletes will be joining about 2,700 registered riders this year. Included on that list is local triathlete Jeffrey Symonds, Olympic medallist Sydor, U.S. national cycling champion Ryan Eastman and others. Retired Olympic medalist speed skater Hughes just finished a 110-day cross-country bike ride. She logged about 11,000 kilometres while raising awareness of mental illness. “We are very fortunate to have someone of this calibre that wants to support this and what we have done with youth cycling. She rode across Canada and back and spent a lot of time on her bike and still wants to come out and enjoy the day,” said Merckx. “She knows we are investing ourselves personally and financially to the develop-

ment of youth cycling in Canada.” In addition to the ride itself, the Granfondo weekend hosts a suite of family events, including the popular Kids’ Piccolofondo fun ride for children under 12 years of age. It takes place on Saturday and a portion of the proceeds from each registration also helps support the Axel Merckx Youth Development Foundation. This is a notfor-profit initiative established in 2011 to help develop and steward the future of Canada’s young cyclists. The emphasis on the trio of main rides (Granfondo, Mediofondo and Cortofondo) is not only on competition but also on participation. “It is really a weekend of celebrating cycling,” said Merckx. “We are really fortunate to have such great partners and a great following of cyclists that want to come and just enjoy riding with us.” The three-year commitment made by Prospera as the title sponsor ensures that cycling and tourism in the Okanagan region will remain as strong as ever. Locals and visitors to the

region will be treated to a one-of-a-kind cycling experience that is focused on family and shows off all that B.C.’s interior region has to offer. The Granfondo course (160 km), the Mediofondo (92 km) and Cortofondo (55 km) takes riders along parts of Okanagan Lake and into Summerland along Lakeshore Drive South, Peach Orchard Road, Lewes Avenue, Hillborn Street and back out of Summerland. Riders will continue through Penticton with some going as far as rural Oliver before pedalling back to Penticton. The ride starts at 7 a.m. at Penticton’s Gyro Park. Over the course of three-days there are a number of other events happening. On Friday and Saturday at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre there will be a cycling expo. On Friday there is a women’s night at the Bike Barn for registered participants featuring wine, bike maintenance and fit clinics and a guest appearance by Hughes.

Most of us have memories of the town we grew up in. Some of us are lucky enough to have grown up in Summerland. Rick Selinger was one such person. Because of this he was inspired to start a Facebook page called Summerland BC-Hometown Memories. Selinger moved to Summerland in 1968 as a very young child. “My first consistent memories begin Facebook page conjures up old memories of with me riding in Summerland and area for residents near and far. the back seat of a car, being transported family slides, he grown up.

What Selinger would like to see now, is for more of the old time residents of Summerland to join the site. He said that this is important because these residents have the extensive knowledge of the community and are able to answer questions about how things once were and thus help bridge the gap between the old Summerland and the new. For Selinger, creating this site has been primarily a labour of love. “I think my background as a foster child instilled in me a desire to answer questions about my past and this is just a continuation of that tendency,” he explained. Having a degree in history himself, Selinger believes history has to be “personally relevant” to be interesting. “The more history breathes and communicates with the individuals own life and experiences, the more popular it will be. I think the Hometown Memories site goes a long way towards achieving this ideal,” he said. “Summerland has thousands of photos and stories swirling around out there and our hope is to try and net as much of that as possible before it is gone forever.” Do you have any home town memories to share? If so why not join this Facebook group today?

Coroners sound alarm about drownings by Joe Fries Black Press Special efforts should be made to educate young men about drowning prevention, a B.C. Coroners Service review panel recommended following a special investigation. Experts probed the deaths of 35 young people who drowned between 2007-2013 and found that nearly three-quarters of the victims were males between 15-19 years in age. A third of the cases involved drugs or alcohol. “In order to address the risk of drowning in B.C., it is essential that water safety and drowning prevention messaging target parents and male youth specifically,” concluded the report, which recommended several agencies work together on the project.

Drowing deaths probed

Members of Penticton and District Search and Rescue combed an area of Okanagan Lake near Naramata in October looking for the body of a man who fell overboard. It’s the last drowning near Penticton to which the group has responded.

One of the agencies mentioned, the B.C.-Yukon branch of the Lifesaving Society, is in the early stages of developing a plan to act on the recommendation.

“Certainly there have been other campaigns that have been successful, such as (against) drinking and driving, so I think we can take lessons from other

campaigns to see what’s going to work for drowning prevention,” said Dale Miller, the society’s executive director. Miller said the heightened drown-

ing risk for young men was already well known and is due to a combination of factors. “It’s an overestimation of their swimming abilities,

it’s an underestimation of the risk that they’re taking, and you combine that with alcohol in many situations, and, unfortunately, that’s a dangerous mix,” he explained. “There’s definitely a need to look at how we can get to them and hopefully change their behaviours.” The society recorded 11 drowning deaths in B.C. through May and June, down from an average of 16 during that same period in each of the past four years. Penticton and District Search and Rescue spokesman

Randy Brown said his group has yet to respond to a nearby drowning during this year’s outdoor recreation season. “This year it has been kind of down, because the weather hasn’t been all that good,” he said. The team did, however, travel to Princeton to help recover the body of a 23-year-old man who drowned in the Similkameen River in mid-June. Brown reminded people to look after the little details surrounding their personal safety while on the water. “Our message is to make sure everybody has a personal floatation device. The other thing is to make sure they have a heaving line so if somebody’s in distress they have some way of throwing a rope out to the them,” he said. “We’re always prepared to go out and assist,” Brown added, “but we get called a lot of times when events turn tragic.” The coroners’ review also recommended municipalities adopt uniform rules to require homeowners to install four-sided fencing around pools “to prevent young children from gaining access to backyard pools, the place where they are most at risk.”

Recyling helps send kids to camp With Summer approaching and camp season soon upon us, Ed Fehr continues his efforts to help send kids to camp by picking up bottles for recycling. He is also picking up cardboard as well now. Kamloops Evangelical Free Church sends approximately 12 kids to camp each summer. Through various sponsors, the church is grateful for the generous donations

received that enables them to continue this program. Summerland businesses, Phil from Northern Fireplace, Shell employees, Post office employees and some residents, Doreen, Vern and Marlene contribute as well by the donation of bottles which Ed takes in for recycling. We all appreciate the effort everyone gives that enables these kids to go to camp.

Children’s Choir

Carla McLeod Special to the Summerland Review

The African Children’s Choir performed to a full house at the Summerland Baptist Church on Sunday evening. The Choir was founded by Ray Barnett in 1984 and is composed of African children aged 7 to 10 years. Many have lost one or both parents through the devastation of war, famine and disease. They are selected on the basis of need, their attitude and willingness to learn. They are auditioned to see if they are musical and have the ability to dance. They will tour for approximately 12 months. Helping Africa’s most vulnerable children today, so they can help Africa tomorrow is the mission of Music for Life-home of the African Children’s Choir. The funds raised on the tour go towards the education of each touring child as well as to the fundraising efforts of this organization, as they work towards improving the lives of thousands of African children. To learn more and to find out how you can help go to africanchildrenschoir.com.

Some thoughts on Canada Day 2014 The Canada Day long weekend is easily my favourite time of year. It’s when Canadians from all walks of life join together in celebration for all that we love about our great country. This Canada Day I was able to attend Canada Day ceremonies and festivities in Okanagan Falls, Penticton, Summerland, Peachland, West Kelowna, Merritt and Logan Lake. The drive around OkanaganCoquihalla serves not only as a reminder of what a truly beautiful region we live in but also of the many great people who live here. In every community I visited there were many families taking the time to get involved and sharing in all that we love about Canada. I would also like to thank so many people for taking the time to offer greetings and give their input to me. Hearing directly from people firsthand is some of the most valuable and insightful feed-

OTTAWA REPORT

Dan Albas back that I receive and is part of why each summer I travel around our region as part of my summer listening tour. For my 2014 summer listening tour I would like to invite citizens, groups and organizations along with employers to contact my office to arrange a time for a meeting. Please contact me at dan.albas@ parl.gc.ca or toll free at 1(800)665-8711 as I find July and August often pass by quickly and I would like to meet with as many citizens as possible. On the subject of feedback I would

also like to thank the many individuals who have taken the time to express concern on the potential threat from invasive species such as freshwater mussels to freshwater lakes in our region. These concerns obviously apply to a large amount of lakes throughout British Columbia and the strong concern shown locally is helpful in my work in Ottawa. The need to take proactive action and for all level of Government to work together on this issue is an important one and is an issue that I continue to pursue in Ottawa on a regular basis. I would also like to recognize again the work of the Okanagan Basin Water Board in championing this issue to all levels of Government and for creating an awareness campaign that citizens can more easily participate in. This week’s report will be a shorter one for a change, however, I would like to

thank the growing number of people who take the time to read my weekly reports and offer comments and questions. Last fall, a Summerland resident passed on some concerns over a Federal program that was creating challenges in a local sector of our economy. These concerns allowed me to make contact with many stakeholders within the sector in question and ultimately to identify these concerns and bring them forward in Ottawa. Recently changes were made to the program in question and specific regulatory changes were made that will resolve the previously identified challenges. Without the initial feedback from the individual in Summerland it is possible these changes may not have been made, or not as quickly. This is not the first time a local citizen has provided input that is helpful for policy related changes and from my

perspective this helps to demonstrate the importance of local feedback and questions from citizens. It is often pointed out that Canada is a diverse and resourceful country. Canada Day is an important

reminder that while our great diversity helps to establish our uniquely Canadian character it is our ability to set aside our differences and work together in building a stronger Canada for all Canadians that is

a true legacy of what we celebrate on Canada Day. Thank you for the honour to serve as one of your elected representatives. Dan Albas is the MP for Okanagan Coquihalla

The Penticton Pistoleras make make their come from behind attack (above) during their bout last weekend against Public Frenemy of Vancouver at the Summerland Arena. (Below) The Pistoleras jam up the middle to get around Frenemy during their bout which the Pistoleras lost 137 to 152.

Public Frenemy roll over Pistoleras The Penticton Pistoleras lost a hard fought game against Public Frenemy of Vancouver with a final score of 137 to 152. The Pistoleras said the Midsummer Nights Jam at the Summerland Arena was a great way to end the season. The night of nail-biting roller derby action saw the strong Public Frenemy give the Pistoleras their closest bout of the season, breaking their three-game winning streak. Heavy hitting and strong jamming kept the crowd entertained while the two teams battled it out on the track. Public Frenemy was in the lead by 27 points at the half, but the home team fought hard to narrow the gap in the second. Two big jams by Onya Knees (Meghan O’Driscoll) and Crasher In The Thigh (Glory MacIntyre) gave

the Pistoleras the lead they were fighting for. Just as it was in their grasp, the Pistoleras took a couple of penalties giving Public Frenemy the opportunity to push forward for the win. “The Pistoleras would like to give a big thank you to Public Frenemy for helping us deliver a great night of derby as well as a special thanks and appreciation to all the ref’s and NSO’s, fans sponsors and volunteers who helped make it such a successful night and 2014 season,” said Colleen Milligan, media relations. The Pistoleras are part of the South Okanagan Roller Derby Association and have just completed their third season. They will continue training over the winter to return next year and encourage anyone interested in joining as a skater or ref to get in touch and be

St Stephen’s Anglican Church held one of several fundraisers planned for this summer, on Saturday night. The evening offered people the chance to listen to local entertainment while enjoying dessert and coffee, in the courtyard.

New chapter for arts council The Summerland Community Arts Council began a new chapter in its existence this week with the opening of its first show at the new Arts Centre located in one half of the former Willowbrook Lane. From a small closet-style office in the basement level of the current library building and a gallery space in the Summerland Museum where the train layout of the KVR now resides to 16 years in the former municipal hall and now to a new (temporary?) location at 9908 Main St. the Summerland Community Arts Council continues to change, evolve and provide a myriad of programs to the residents of Summerland. Thanks to countless hours by the SCAC Board, Steering Committee, our office manager and Summer Art Program coordinator, volunteers and local contractors the new Arts Centre opened this week in time for the annual Summer Art Progam. One of the challenges facing the organization was that, in addition to

ARTS PALETTE

David Finnis all the challenges and work associated with a move, the volunteers had to continue to organize and provide on-going programs such as the Street Banner Project, workshops for children, youth and adults, shows for the Art Gallery and the Summer Art Program

for kids. On Thursday, July 10 the first show will open in the new Gallery space. “Travels with My Sketchbook”, featuring works by Dale Matthews, will open with the usual reception from 7-9 p.m. This will be an opportunity to view the wonderful watercolour paintings and sketches by Dale Matthews as well as witness the hard work of the Gallery Committee and others in transforming this space into a public art gallery. There will be an artist’s talk Friday, July 11 at 2 p.m. On Saturday, July 12 from 9-11 a.m. the

Summerland Community Art Council invites you to join them at their Grand Re-opening. There will be pancakes served by the 1st Summerland Scouts with all proceeds going to the Scouts. So come and enjoy festivities on Main Street and check out Summerland’s new Arts Centre and Gallery.
