Cops for Kids benefits Summerland child Mark Brett Black Press

Little Grayson Dowling came into the world weighing just 19 ounces and a poor prognosis for survival. However his mother Miranda Mezzatesta was not about to give up on her little boy knowing in her heart if she could just be with him during this critical time in his life it could make all the difference. However without the financial resources the family, living in Princeton at the time, could not afford for her to be in Vancouver for an extended stay. It was then the

Cops for Kids program intervened and paid her accommodation costs at Ronald McDonald House while Grayson was in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit. “They (Cops for Kids) will never know how much that means to my family and to me. I fully believe that me being able to stay at Grayson’s side was one of the main reasons he is here today,” said Mezzatesta. “They helped me save my child’s life. “I like to think that me being there let him know that there was something worth staying for, worth fighting for. I could

never say or do anything that would be adequate enough to thank the Cops for Kids ever, it really means the world to me.” Over the years Cops for Kids has helped many children in medical or traumatic crisis and continues to do so throughout the region. Grayson, who is now 18 months old and still requires medical equipment to help breath, was born at 27 weeks but due to another problem was less developed than he should have been for his age. Doctors warned Mezzatesta throughout the pregnancy

the child might not survive which only added to the stress the family was experiencing. “It’s devastating, it’s heart wrenching it’s the worst feeling in the world but when he came out, he came out crying and that was the best sign ever, it was a huge, huge relief to hear that tiny little kitten meow of a cry,” she said. According to the mother her son was

the third or fourth smallest surviving child the hospital had ever seen. The family has since moved to Summerland to be closer to a higher level of medical care for Grayson. Mezzatesta and Grayson have also since had a chance to thank the Cops program in person during a recent fundraiser. “They saw Grayson there and they

saw how big he was and all the machines and stuff that he is hooked up to and needs,” she said. “Most people look at the machines and that’s all they see but these people looked past all that and saw the child behind it all. “I told them about a bit of his journey and how small he was and everything he had to fight through to be where he is today, they were in shock.”

The family greeted the Cops for Kids cyclists at the Summerland RCMP detachment on Friday. The Summerland stop was part of their annual 10-day fundraising ride throughout southeastern BC. “There is just no way to put a value and what they have done for us, it truly priceless and they deserve all the support we can give them,” said Mezzatesta.

Summerland featured in Amazing Race episode John Arendt

An estimated 2.6 million viewers saw scenes of Summerland last Wednesday as they tuned in to watch The Amazing Race Canada. The reality show included a segment filmed at the Summerland Waterfront Resort, where contestants participated in a wakeboarding challenge. “About half an hour of the show was spent in Summerland,” said Lisa Jaeger, sales manager at the resort. She added that the wakeboarding challenge shows an important side of tourism in Summerland. “It’s appealing to the free spirit who is interested in more adventure and more action,” she said. The episode also featured other South Okanagan tourism attractions, including D’Angelo Estate Winery in Penticton, Covert Farms in Oliver, the Osoyoos Desert Model Railroad and Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre in Osoyoos.

The episode was the 10th in the 12-episode reality television show. Ellen Walker-Matthews, experiences development specialist with the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association, said bringing the show to the region was a time-consuming process. About six months ago, scouts for the show met with her and looked at 25 locations in the area. Walker-Matthews was pleased with the depiction of the South Okanagan in the episode. “I think it gave an excellent flavour to the region,” she said. “There were some great tourism shots in there.” Filming was done in May, a week after the Victoria Day weekend. While the weather was cold and rainy that day, the episode showed blue skies, especially on the Summerland portion of the show. “It was a terrible wet day, but they did a great job of portraying it as not as miserable as it was,” she said.

250.494.8303 LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Probate or Estate Administration When a person passes away one of the first questions that must be answered is: Did the deceased have a valid will? If the answer is yes, then the process which must be followed to legally deal with their assets is called an application for Probate. If the deceased did not have a valid will then the process is called an application for Estate Administration. Both applications are essentially the same in that they list the assets to be dealt with, appoint a person to be in charge of the estate and then determine who receives those assets or the proceeds from the liquidation of those assets. Where they diverge is the method of determining who the beneficiaries are and the apportionment of the estate between those beneficiaries. In creating a will a person sets out their wishes for the distribution of their estate. Without a will the distribution of an estate is governed by the provisions of the Estate Administration Act. Those provisions are arbitrary and will require the involvement of the Public Trustee on behalf of minor beneficiaries. The consequences of passing away without a properly executed will drawn by your Lawyer can be financially and emotionally devastating to your family or beneficiaries. Without a will your survivors are left without any direction as to how your estate is to be distributed as well as any idea who should be in charge of distributing your estate. Even a very basic will covers these important matters. The passing of a loved one is traumatic enough without family members and survivors having to worry about legal issues. Proper legal advice at all stages of the process is essential to the smooth and worry free transmission of assets through an estate.

EDITORIAL Tourism promotion When Canadians tuned in to watch The Amazing Race Canada last week, they saw some of the tourism opportunities available in Summerland. The episode of the reality program included a segment filmed at the Summerland Waterfront Resort, with contestants learning to wakeboard on Okanagan Lake. This year is the third season for the reality show, which has been filmed in various locations across Canada, as well as Chile, Argentina and India. For any community or region featured, the potential benefits are significant. The reality show has a strong following nationwide and last Wednesday, an estimated 2.6 million viewers watched the South Okanagan episode. Some of the viewers may choose to visit this area for themselves and try out water sports and other adventure-based activities in the South Okanagan. While the Summerland filming was done at and near the Summerland Waterfront Resort, the potential benefits will extend much further than the resort and the lake. Tourists who may have planned to spend their entire Okanagan vacation in another community may choose to spend some time in Summerland during their time in the valley. All tourism-based businesses stand to gain when tourists come to the community. It is now up to the community, especially those businesses catering to tourists, to work with this exposure. Visitors who come for adventure tourism will return and tell their friends if the experience delivers the experience they wanted. The Amazing Race Canada is an excellent marketing opportunity for Summerland and the rest of the South Okanagan. The benefits from this exposure will now depend on how the community chooses to promote itself, and how well it lives up to the image which was presented.

Time for Summerland to set priorities I am fairly new to Summerland but not to the Okanagan. The last 15 years have seen quite a few changes in the communities that dot Okanagan Lake. With the exception of Summerland. Some might think this is a good thing. I don’t happen to agree. In many ways, change to a community is a good thing. It can bring renewal in the form of new residents, new businesses and new ideas. Many think that by stifling change, everything will remain the same. Life doesn’t work that way. Change is like water. It finds another way in. You can either lead the change or it can lead you. Which brings me to my point. I’ve been watching with interest the first year of this municipal council. So far, I haven’t been overly impressed.

From here

Rob Murphy They were primarily voted in because they were against the proposed swap of ALR land. So it was no surprise that they took care of that issue on Day One. Now what? A no-smoking bylaw, rainbow crosswalks and backyard chickens. Really? I have to believe that there must be more important issues to spend valuable time on. How about a strategy to attract new employers, a plan to improve the downtown, a proposal to encourage young families to locate

here. In short, I haven’t seen a bold idea. While Summerland paints crosswalks and enforces extended smoking bylaws, communities like Peachland and Penticton pass by. Peachland has turned itself into a vibrant, fun place. From its great restaurants to its summer festivals, it is a family friendly town.

Summerland has so much potential. It’s one of the few communities where the highway doesn’t pass through the middle of town. Summerland has walkability, a beautiful mix of agriculture and business. The arts scene here is healthy, the service clubs, like Rotary, do a great job. Summerland has several above average business leaders

Many think that by stifling change, everything will remain the same. Life doesn’t work that way. Penticton passed an economic investment zone tax incentive bylaw a few years ago. So far, it’s brought them several new businesses. Construction is everywhere and it’s a positive sign that things are heading in the right direction for them. What frustrates me about this is that

here that are achieving greatness. There is a lot to brag about. All that is missing is a plan to take advantage of what is already in place and grow it. Growth appears to be a swear word here, and I get the impression that is intentional. Change is com-

ing to Summerland. The gig is up. We’ve been discovered. If we weren’t before, being featured on a national television show ought to do it. The question is, do we want to direct that growth and change or be held captive while it happens. If you would like an example of how ignoring change can be detrimental, look no further than Kelowna. For decades, they fought a ring road to get traffic off of highway 97. Now it can take an hour to get from the bridge to the airport. Change and growth came anyway. Problem is, now they are not in control. The opportunities in Summerland are endless and mayor and council have all the assets to compete. All they need is a plan and no more distractions. Rob Murphy is the sales manager of the Summerland Review.

Chicken bylaw a serious matter Dear Editor: I am writing regarding the changes to the bylaw allowing chickens being kept in residential areas. The District of Summerland newsletter sent out to the taxpayers recently is now requesting our

Chicken Feedback regarding the above issue. I feel this is a backhanded way to deal with what I consider a serious issue for Summerland residents. There is no mention of how chickens attract coyotes and

other predators. Furthermore the suggestion that people can only raise four chickens, no roosters, and build an appropriate coop for the chickens to be kept in is ludicrous. People will do what they want despite the bylaw.

There is a certain percentage of the population who will not adhere to bylaws and this is evident with people who do not pick up their dog feces or horses feces in various walking areas in Summerland despite signs and poop bags provided.

If chickens are allowed to be raised in residential areas the bylaw will not be enforced as in my case. It has been brought to my attention that there are many people in residential areas in Summerland as I write who are

raising chickens. Next will be ducks, rabbits, goats you name it because some people do not care about bylaws and because the enforcement is not there. How does the present council plan to provide enforcement of such a ridicu-

THE EARLY YEARS

Established in 1909, the Steuart Fruit Company was the largest independent packing house in Summerland. For a time it operated out of the CPR red building on Jubilee Road (where Homeside Video is located) and employed 25 to 30 people at the peak of the fruit season. Most of the work was done by hand as machinery was expensive and not readily available. These members of the crew (ca. 1930s) included (from left to right): Billy Haddrell, Doug Steuart, Ed Sayer, Isabel (Steuart) Nelson, Marjorie Tingley, Annie (Steuart) Gowan, Basil Steuart, and Jennie MacDonald. They’d probably be a little overwhelmed by the truckloads of bins that are moving through town today.

Rainbows painted in sky above lake Dear Editor: Rainbows in Summerland. I have noticed someone is already painting rainbows in Summerland, quite a few times recently. I have noticed rainbows “painted” in the sky over the lake.

lous bylaw change? I would like anyone interested in contacting me about starting a task force against the proposition at hand to allow chickens to be raised in residential areas. Karen Matheson Summerland

Sometimes one isn’t enough and there are two. When my grandchildren draw pictures of heaven, you guessed it, rainbows again. When I read the Bible, I read it like a mystery novel, finding little clues about how to live my

life. Joseph with his rainbow coat, Noah with his sign that everything will be okay. When I moved to Summerland, I felt like I had discovered a little piece of heaven. Now I see that just like the Wizard of Oz, there are a few

witches at the end of the rainbow. Please paint those rainbows so we can see them every day instead of just when someone paints them in the sky. Jill Thomas Summerland

Dear Editor: The Summerland Orca Swim Club wants to thank the residents of Summerland, particularly those residents living in Lower Summerland and the businesses in Lower Summerland, for their patience this past Sunday morning, Sept. 6, during our 15 Annual Orca Sprint Triathlon. We had another fantastic event with almost 350 athletes participating; 212 under the age of 16. This popular event brings so many athletes, both young and old, to Summerland to enjoy our wonderful area and amenities. We get many comments about the “family-friendly” nature of our triathlon. Also, a special thanks to all the vendors who participated, to all of our sponsors and our draw prize sponsors and particularly to our title sponsor BCMINNS who sponsored the Kids of Steel portion of our event and Dirty Laundry Vineyard who sponsored the Adult Sprint Triathlon portion of our event. John Mott Orca President Summerland

Prepare for the day when ‘the machine’ will stop Dear Editor: Tom Fletcher ’s latest confusing rant challenges your readers to be “competent” enough to plan for retirement

using RRSP savings accounts without government assistance, tenuously suggests nationally subsidized child care is a form of incompe-

tency and then rather ominously asks us if we are “ready for the day when the machine stops.” One can only assume Mr. Fletcher

somehow intends “the machine” metaphor to be a thinlyveiled reference to the federal government collapsing. If so, I urge cau-

tion: RRSP savings accounts are registered with the federal government. Should that particular “machine” fail, your registered retirement

savings plan would be rendered worthless, as it would be “registered” with no one in particular. That spot under the mattress is beginning

to look even more attractive as a place to plan for our retirements. Thanks for the advice, Mr. Fletcher. Max Rundle Wilkie Kelowna

Protest stunts distract from real efforts

“I am tired of managing poverty.” The words of Lake Babine Nation Chief Wilf Adam were quoted by both Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad and Premier Christy Clark at their second annual meeting with aboriginal leaders around the province. In her closing remarks, Clark repeated her aim to continue economic development and resource revenue sharing that have dominated the government’s approach in recent years. “Let’s eliminate poverty in First Nations communities,” she said, adding “the only way we

can fight poverty is to grow the economy.” Not surprisingly, Clark’s chosen example was the potential of liquefied natural gas development for the Haisla Nation near Kitimat. That and similar proposals require new gas pipelines. And as is customary in B.C., what people most often hear about are threats and wild claims regarding protests such as the Unist’ot’en camp near Smithers, set up to block a gas pipeline. There was a round of this in late August, after Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the militant Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs claimed

hundreds of RCMP officers were about to descend on the camp. This echoed previous false claims made by self-styled anarchists such as Victoria’s Zoe Blunt, who has been organizing outside support for the camp for the last couple of years. Media jumped at the prospect of another Gustafson Lake-style confrontation. This prompted an unusual statement from Cpl. Janelle Shoihet of the North District RCMP. “To clarify, the B.C. RCMP has no intention of ‘taking down the camp’ set up by the Unist’ot’en,” she said, emphasizing that police are not

taking sides or acting as security for pipeline exploration crews being harassed by protesters, who have token support from a couple of dissident members of a Wet’suwet’en clan. Four elected chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en issued their own statement, to correct media coverage that represents the Unist’ot’en as speaking for their communities. “Our Nations support responsible resource development as a way to bring First Nations out of poverty and bring opportunities for our young people,” said Burns Lake Band Chief Dan

George. Wet’suwet’en First Nation Chief Karen Ogen said job and benefit agreements for the Coastal GasLink pipeline were entered into after careful consideration, and she objected to protests from outsiders, some from outside the country. “Sustainability means standing on our own two feet, providing our young people with good paying jobs, and reducing the 40 to 60 per cent unemployment we now experience,” Ogen said. Haisla Nation Chief Councillor Ellis Ross has no time for crude oil projects, but he has been working

B.C. Views

Tom Fletcher towards gas-related development as long as anyone. Ross spoke out in support of the elected Wet’suwet’en chiefs in their efforts to resolve the dispute with Unist’ot’en members. “Opposition is the easiest job in the world,” he said. “What is difficult is finding an answer when a First Nations mother has concerns about her child’s future. “Politicians are quick to shout out sound bites and get into camera shots, but where are the cam-

eras when another First Nations member takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/alcohol related deaths?” Ross noted that recent court decisions have put B.C. aboriginal leaders in the best position they have ever had, with governments and development project proponents coming to them “with inclusion in mind” after decades of resource development that has passed them by. You wouldn’t know it most days, but First Nations along both the Coastal GasLink and Pacific Trails gas pipelines have agreed to them. More aboriginal leaders are getting tired of managing poverty, and misguided protesters. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Questions asked of federal candidates As the Oct. 19 federal election approaches, the Summerland Review is asking a series of questions to the four candidates in the riding of Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola. The candidates at present are Dan Albas of the Conservatives, Robert Mellalieu of the Green Party, Karley Scott of the Liberal Party and Angelique Wood of the New Democrats. The questions will focus on the individual candidates for this riding rather than party policy, since information on the parties and their platforms is readily available. What qualifications do you have for the job of our Member of Parliament? To be effective in Ottawa it is vital to understand the needs of the communities and citizens we represent.

Dan Albas

Conservatives My service began first as a volunteer working with non-profit organizations such as the United Way, Critteraid, Rotary and others and evolved into being elected as

a city councilor before finally being elected as an MP. This community experience helped me to pass a bill that was important to our region and more recently to help expedite invasive species regulations to protect our B.C. freshwater lakes against invasive mussels. My work in Ottawa has also been recognized with a nomination for a Golden Scissors award for cutting red tape from the CFIB and my house voting attendance record is among the top five in Canada. Locally I conduct an annual summer listening tour that has resulted in citizen’s ideas and suggestions becoming Government policy. I am also a former small business owner who understands what it is like to make payroll and the importance of low taxes that helps to ensure families keep more of their money instead of sending it to Ottawa. I am known as a hard worker and publish an annual accountability report to keep citizens informed.

Robert Mellalieu Greens

The only qualification I need is to be Canadian. I am as Canadian as the red serge and pacific salmon. However, I also

have some skills that I have acquired in the 20 years I have run my business.Those skills are obviously missing in parliament today. My wife and I home schooled our son and through that process have learnt a lot about patience and understanding. I have been a director/chair/president of many boards and clubs – Rotary, Antique Boat Society. During those tenures I learnt a lot of “politics.” Of course anyone who has been happily married for 25 years knows politics too.

Angelique Wood

New Democrats I have served for the past three years, 2011-2014 as an Electoral Area Director for the Regional District of the Okanagan-Similkameen. During that time I worked on two subprovincial boards and travelled much of the area within this riding, working on issues of concern with local First Nations and mayors and councils. Maintaining the health and economic security of our significant seniors population and veterans, and out-migration of our youth are brought up consistently in every community. Doctor recruitment and retention are issues brought up regularly in our rural areas.

Karley Scott Liberals

This riding is incredibly diverse and I believe that it requires a diverse, critical thinker as a representative. I believe a democratic caucus should be filled with independent thinkers who have the skills to disagree without being

disagreeable and a leader who encourages dissenting ideas. I am that caucus member and Justin Trudeau is that leader. I spent 10 years working for the federal government and have an in-depth understanding of how government works which will be of great benefit in caucus and the House of Commons. As a lawyer I am a skilled advocate and accustomed to standing up for my clients and will use those skills to stand up for the people in this riding. As a mother I intuitively seek solutions that will improve current circumstances and benefit future generations. As a Metis woman I

am inherently diverse and I excel at building collaborative relationships as a result – many issues are multijurisdictional and they require representation that can work collaboratively with other levels of government to find the best solutions.

I have a fresh perspective, a strong voice and I believe we need to hear less from Ottawa and Ottawa needs to hear more from us. When the current government did not reflect my values, I committed to making a real change.

Report examines perpetual slide area Council received a presentation by Golder Associates Ltd. on the perpetual slide area near Canyon View Road. Council also received the perpetual Slide Geotechnical and Hydrogeological Study, prepared by Golder Associates Ltd. The municipality has recognized the potential risk from the slide and in October, council passed a resolution authorizing staff to retain

a consultant to conduct a geotechnical review. Jacqueline Foley of Golder Associates Ltd. presented a summary of the report at the council meeting on Monday evening. The slide was first noticed in 1914 and was most active from then until 1938. Irrigation in the area, introduced in the early 1900s, may have been a contributing factor. While it is impossible to predict if or

when a significant slide may occur, the report had some recommendations. Municipal staff will prepare scope of work and cost estimates for the 2016 budget for work related to Canyon View Road. This work includes land use planning measures, survey monitoring program, intrusive field investigation, flood mitigation options, collection of water use information and bylaw measures.

Location sought for Thrift Shop trailer Municipal staff and the Summerland Health-Care Auxiliary will work to find a suitable location for the auxiliary’s trailer on municipal property. If a location can be found, the municipality will provide the use of this property to the auxiliary for no cost for a renewable

term of five years. The request came because the thrift shop receives donations of items which cannot be sold through the thrift shop. At present, these items are taken to the municipal landfill for disposal, but officials with the Health-Care Auxiliary would like to transport them overseas for reuse. Similar programs are already in place in Armstrong, Merritt and the Lower Mainland. The Summerland Health Care Aux-

iliary has already identified a company willing to transport discarded items to the Lower Mainland for sorting and shipment to international users, but in order to do this would require a space to park a trailer. In a report to council, Linda Tynan, chief administrative officer for the municipality, said the use of a trailer would reduce the amount of waste material entering the landfill and would support a well-established humanitarian community organization.

Workshop provides help for caregivers Family caregivers of people with dementia are often called “the invisible second clients” for good reason. As many Summerland families have found, their roles as informal caregivers are critical to the quality of life of the person they care for, who generally requires increasing levels of care. “Without caregivers, people with dementia would have an increasingly poorer quality of life and would need residential care more quickly,” said Laurie Myres, the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s Support and Education Coordinator for Summerland and the South Okanagan and Similkameen. The support can come at a cost: caregiver exhaustion. This is why the society is bringing its free Family Caregiver ser-

ies to the area, on Friday, Oct. 16. The workshop helps caregivers learn strategies to care for someone with dementia and to take care of their

own health, to ensure they are prepared to continue to provide care for their family members. Topics include understanding Alzheimer’s disease and

other dementias, effective and creative ways of facilitating communication with a person with dementia, understanding behaviour as a form of communication,

self-care for the caregiver and planning for the future. The series runs from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Summerland Senior’s Village (day program room),

12803 Atkinson Rd. Advance registration is required. For information and to register, call Laurie Myres toll-free at 1-888-318-1122 or e-mail lmyres@alz-

heimerbc.org. The workshop is free. More information on dementias, as well as resources for living with their impact, are available at alzheimerbc.org.

Ready to perform

Offramp, a jazz sextet made up of members from Summerland and Penticton, will perform at Jazz Vespers on Sept. 20 beginning at 4:30 p.m. at St. Saviour’s Anglican Church in Penticton.

Offramp to perform at Jazz Vespers Penticton’s jazz sextet, Offramp, will headline the first Jazz Vespers of the season, on Sept. 20, beginning at 4:30 p.m. at St. Saviour’s Anglican Church in Penticton. Offramp was formed in 2010 with members from Penticton and Summerland and include Justin Glibbery (leader/

piano), Aidan Mayes (vocals), Larry Crawford (woodwinds), Stan Sabourin (saxophone), Stefan Bienz (bass) and Mike Treadway (drums). The sextet bridges generations together for the love of good music. The members perform a variety of the best of the swing era and everything

in between including Duke Ellington and Count Basie, Latin grooves, a bit of boogie, ballads, and few small surprises along the way. Jazz Vespers is a musical service of celebration and meditation embedded in jazz. The roots of Jazz Vespers go back to the days of Duke

Ellington, Dave Brubec, Wynton Marsalis and Pat Metheny and to the unique music that came out of the African churches of the deep south. Jazz Vespers is held on the third Sunday of each month, except for the summer, 4:30 p.m. St Saviour’s Anglican Church, 150 Orchard Ave., Penticton.

Candidates to speak at election forum The upcoming federal election on Oct. 19 is of particular importance given the many issues affecting our country. In recent weeks topics such as immigration policies, climate change, government transparency, national security and the economy have all been in the news. The global economy continues to show a stubborn sluggishness that is affecting Canada’s overall economic growth. It is, therefore, important that all our elected representatives are also aware of the need for policies that focus on the fundamentals of a strong economy and the important role business, in particular small business, plays in this growth.

The Summerland Review is asking questions of all the candidates for the federal parties and publishing answers on their websites and here in the paper. In addition the Summerland Chamber of Commerce and the Summerland Review are once again co-hosting an All-Candidates forum on Monday, Oct. 5 at Centre Stage. The doors open at 6 p.m. with speakers beginning at 6:30 p.m. Candidates participating are as follows: (alphabetically) Dan Albas, Conservative Party; Robert Mellalieu, Green Party; Karley Scott, Liberal Party; Angelique Wood, New Democratic Party.

Steam train

Summerland’s Kettle Valley Steam Railway has been operating for the past 20 years. During this time, Brad Coates has been involved with the operation of the railway.

Coates guides historic steam train Carla McLeod Special to the Review

People often say to Brad Coates “you have the best job in the world. You get to drive that old train and blow the whistle!” While he admits that this is true, there is in actuality so much more to his job as locomotive engineer and operations manager for the Kettle Valley Steam Railway. Coates first became involved with the railway in 1993, before it was even operational. He was brought in as a labourer to do track work, build infrastructure, work on the equipment and restore the coaches that the railway received in 1994.

When the 1924 Shay locomotive arrived in 1995, on loan from the B.C. Forest Discovery Museum, a crew arrived with it in order to operate the steam engine. “They needed someone to train on this end so their crews could be relieved and then we could basically take over the operation of the steam locomotive and run our own railway,” explained Coates. “That crew is who I received all of my training from.” It was in 1997 that Coates qualified as locomotive engineer. The KVSR acquired the 3716 steam locomotive in 2003. Coates was involved in the dismantling and transporting of it

to Summerland and headed up the restoration of the boiler and the whole locomotive. It was put into service in 2005. Part of being an engineer is being able to detect problems before they arise. “The engineer has to have a keen ear and a keen sense in order to pick up things that may be going wrong,” said Coates. “A good preventative maintenance program will ensure that you operate every day.” Things don’t always go off without a hitch. Coates explained that when one is dealing with equipment there are bound to be breakdowns. He has spent much time on evenings and weekends educating himself so he can do all his own welding and machining in the railway’s workshop. “Every part on that locomotive is tailor

made. There are no standard parts and pieces so it all has to be handmade,” explained Coates. As operations manager, Coates is also responsible for looking after the track system. “We have to satisfy the B.C. Safety

Authority inspectors with not only the locomotives and the rolling stock like the passenger cars, but also the track system,” he said. “There’s a lot more to it than a couple of rails and ties. There’s a lot of science and engineering involved in that.” Each year Coates determines what needs to be done and hires and oversees the contractors

that do the work in repairing the tracks. Weed control is another issue that must be addressed because of the risk of fire. Much time and money has been spent on fire prevention. Fencing also needs to be repaired along the railway right of way in order to keep horses and wildlife off the tracks. Coates also winds up spending hours

in his office, dealing with all the paperwork that needs doing. He admits to feeling overwhelmed at times. “It’s a little stressful at times but the better you become at doing something the more efficient you are,” he said. “As long as you’re a good juggler I guess. It’s taken me a lot of practice.” The off season for Coates can be busier than the operating season. That is when preparation starts for the Christmas trains. It is also the time when inspections and repairs are done on the engine’s boiler and the running gear. Although he came to the railway with a fair bit of mechanical knowledge already, Coates has gained so much experience that is tailored specifically to the railway. “I guess that’s where I’m valuable now, is just by virtue of my experience,” he mused. It takes more than experience to be good at a job though. “I am actually very passionate about my job and keeping the railway safe and continuing to make it a great tourist destination for Summerland,” said Coates. “I really believe in this place and I believe that the town needs something like this. It’s a great thing.”

Cross-country race planned Runners will take part in a cross-country run on Sunday, Oct. 4 in the Summerland Sweets and TriPower Cross-Country Running Races. The races include a 7.4-kilometre crosscountry race and a 3.2-kilometre youth race. The races will begin at 10 a.m. near the Summerland Rodeo Grounds and the Kettle Valley Steam Railway. They are organized by the Interior Running Association and sponsored by The Starting Block, a running and outdoor store in Vernon. Runners in the 7.4-kilometre course will make their way along the relatively flat Trans-Canada Trail towards Summerland, and then at the 3.5-kilometre mark they will head back towards the Rodeo Grounds along a higher trail, which includes a few hills before a generally flat and downhill 1.5 kilometres to the finish. The adult race is suitable for both casual joggers as well as more competitive runners. The TriPower 3.2-kilometre kids’ race begins at the same time and runners follow the TransCanada Trail towards Summerland and then loop back to the start via a three hundred fifty metre hill. If there are adults who are not up to running 7.4 kilo-

metres or would like to accompany a son or daughter they are welcome to run the shorter distance. For more information on the youth race please contact Melissa Berrisford at bmelissa@telus.net. This year sees the addition of a team category. When you register note if you belong to a team, such as TriPower Triathlon Club, Summerland Secondary cross-country team, or Penticton Pounders. The more runners from a team, the greater chance they have of winning the category. Team members also qualify for individual prizes. The races will have washroom facilities at the start, spotters along the route, and draw prizes. There will also be prizes for the first three finishers in each of the five-year age categories for the 7.4K race, including a bottle of Sleeping Giant Fruit Winery wine for adult age group winners. There will also be prizes for the top three in the Under 12 as well as the 13 to 15 categories. To register for either race go to www.zone4.ca. The entry fee for the 7.4K race is $12 and for the 3.2K race it is $8. For more information on the 7.4K race, or if you would like to volunteer, contact Mike Braid at jamibraid@shaw.ca.

Dancing

The Hooked on Dancing partner dance class is the most popular class offered by the recreation department this fall. Because of strong demand, a second evening was opened up for the class. It is held on Wednesday and Monday evenings.

Back to school and the swim of things

It’s official. We are back to the swing of things. Back to school. Back to routine. Back to organized sports, lessons and more. My family consists of three boys entering Grade 3, Grade 1 and a two-year old who rules the world. The back to school excitement and jitters have now calmed down. Teachers and classmates assigned. All is well. Exhale! This week offers new excitement with

the Aquatic Centre re-opening after its annual two-week shutdown for maintenance. Hats off to the aquatic staff who repainted, refurbished, scrubbed, and overhauled the fitness centre, lobby, meeting room, mechanical room, change rooms, pool and deck space. Thank you! September is open season for the mad dash of registrations for the fall.

Red Cross Swimming Lessons start next week and there is still room available for some levels. With a staggering 40 drownings in B.C. this year, we continue to encourage families and schools to mandate that children become water safe. Becoming a strong swimmer with lifesaving skills allows our youth to enjoy the Okanagan life while minimizing

safety concerns. It’s a good idea to introduce your child to the water while they are young. My two-year-old is excited about starting his Parent and Tot Swimming Lessons. He actually asks to go underwater or as we call it, be a submarine. It’s important for me that he starts to learn water and safety skills. It’s also our special time to have fun together. I’m

sentimental as this is his last session with me in the water with him. He’s turning three which allows him to join the first level of unparented Red Cross swim lessons. Freedom for me… err, I mean him! There are other standout recreation programs and events. Summerland Recreation received another ParticipACTION Teen Challenge grant which allows us to offer the Fall Teen Yoga program completely free. Simply register at the Aquatic Office. Sept. 22 to Dec. 8 from 4 to 5:15 p.m. for ages 12 to 17. Our most popular class this fall, which basically went viral is our new Hooked on Dancing partner dance class. This class not only filled up but the wait

LEISURE TIMES

Joanne Malar list grew so long that we opened up a second evening to accommodate the demand. I believe it was social media that boosted its numbers as registrants encouraged other friends to join and have a party each Wednesday night (now Mondays as well.) Instructor Paulette Wigston will get the classes two-stepping, waltzing, and line dancing in no time. Many commun-

ity events are around the corner as well. The Terry Fox Run is this Sunday, Sept. 20, with registration at 10:15 a.m. The walk run bike starts at 11 a.m. at the Aquatic Centre. Visit www.terryfox.org. Friday, Sept. 25, is the Pro D Day Skate and Swim hosted by the Recreation Department. This event sells out. All tickets must be purchased in advance at the Aquatic Centre for $6, for ages six to 15. Call the Recreation Office at 250-4940447 for more details about any event or program.

The second annual Maud Run, on Saturday, Sept. 26, will raise awareness of the importance of blood donations. The run will take place at Lakeshore Racquets Club beginning at 10 a.m. There is a choice of a one-, three- or five-kilometre course. Race entry is by a blood donation, pledge for a blood donation, one match stem cell donation or donation of time. Last year, around 150 runners and vol-

unteers participated. The result was 50 new blood donors. The non-competitive event is open for all ages and abilities. The run was started in memory of Ellen Maud Lloyd, who created the Giant’s Head Run, Summerland Action Festival, Man of Steel Triathlon and Summerland Asset Development Initiative. In February, 2013, Lloyd was diagnosed with leukaemia. While undergoing treatments at Van-

couver General Hospital, she noticed the requirements for blood she and other leukaemia patients had. She decided the community should hold a community participation run, where entry would be by donating blood. Lloyd died in January, 2014 and the first run was held in Summerland in October. To donate blood at the Canadian Blood Services mobile clinics, book an appointment online at www. blood.ca.

What if this isn’t enough? I thought. I didn’t hesitate. In big red lettering, I said it was a “Blowout Sale!

And then I’d talk up what I

They had no clue that they were giving up the many protections of buying from a licensed dealer. Once again, I hit pay dirt! My advertising lies brought

many calls. Some caught on to my bait and switch system. But, as always, there were enough buyers who fell for my tricks. And, when the cars stop running – I’ll be gone. However, I’ve learned I can stay a little longer if I keep moving. Where’s a good place to get some inventory? I thought.

Limited Compliance Actions Highlight Commitment to Professionalism The Vehicle Sales Authority (VSA) oversees the licensed motor dealer industry in British Columbia. The industry represents 430,000 transactions, or $10 billion in regulated vehicle sales, each year. Despite more than 1,300 consumer enquiries, nearly 800 dealer inspections and ongoing advertising monitoring, a typical 12 month period generates the following compliance activities: ❚ Voluntary acknowledgement and action by 15 to 20 dealers that errors were made during the representation and sale of vehicles, as documented in signed undertakings ❚ Up to five dealers facing hearings before the Registrar of Motor Dealers for allegations of deceptive business practices ❚ 500 consumer-initiated investigations, resulting in the return of $1 million to consumers ❚ And, as a result of licensing

reviews, three to five salesperson licences will be denied, one or two will be suspended and others will be issued with conditions based on prior conduct. Licensing and business practice decisions of the Registrar were also recently upheld by the BC Supreme Court, following applications for judicial review. The licensed vehicle sales industry in BC includes over 1,400 licensed RV, motorcycle and auto dealers that employ over 7,000 licensed salespeople. In the last 12 months, 1,600 new salespeople and 100 new dealers were certified and licensed. Consumer awareness activities, like the Watch out for Walt! campaign, are ongoing. Consumer information, complete compliance details and the 2015 VSA Annual Report, which includes a full summary of VSA activities for the last three years, can be found at vehiclesalesauthority.com.

CURBERS SELL VEHICLES THAT MAY BE UNSAFE OR STOLEN! Curbers are individuals and businesses selling vehicles for profit without a licence Curbers may get junk cars and sell them from parking lots while posing as private sellers. They advertise through local newspapers and online ads. They may not disclose the vehicle history to the buyer, hiding serious accident

damage or even a rolled back odometer. Licensed dealers are required by law to sell safe, lien-free vehicles and disclose vehicle histories. If you buy from Walt, you have none of the protections of buying from a licensed dealer.

At a minimum, get a CarProof Vehicle History Report before you buy Find a licensed dealer or report a curber at
