POLICE rEPOrt Vehicle strikes wall

On Sept. 17 at 12:50 p.m., police were called to a single vehicle accident at the Tim Hortons parking lot off Prairie Valley Road. An elderly Summerland motorist stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake, crashing into a retaining wall. The vehicle received significant damage as a result and had to be towed. The driver and passenger were uninjured.

Frauds continue

Summerlanders continued to receive calls from scammers posing as Canada Revenue Agency officials. Over the past week, Summerland RCMP received 40 calls from residents who had received the calls. The callers claim the target owes tax money. They then ask for bank information. Police urge those who are contacted not to provide the information over the telephone. Many of the calls originate outside of Canada.

Vehicles entered

Police were called following thefts from vehicles throughout the community last week. In all instances, the vehicles had been left unlocked and in some cases, the keys had been left inside the unlocked vehicles. Police urge residents to lock their vehicles and to leave money and valuables out of sight.

HUGE SAVINGS!

Street crossing

Two colourful intersections, on Main Street and on Victoria Road North, cost the municipality $1,950 each. The crosswalks were painted earlier this month to show support for those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender.

Crosswalks cost $3,900

A message of inclusiveness at two Summerland intersections has come with a $3,900 price tag. Earlier this month, two downtown crosswalks were painted in the colours of the rainbow flag as a show of support for those who are lesbian, gay,

bisexual and transgender. The crosswalks are at the intersection of Main Street and Kelly Avenue and at the mid-block crossing on Victoria Road North, between Main Street and Jubilee Road West. Don Darling, director of engineering

and public works for the municipality, said the crosswalk painting cost $1,950 for each of the two crosswalks. Aardvark Pavement Marking Services of Penticton did the work. The cost of the intersections works out to 0.0344 per cent

of Summerland’s 2015 budget’s general fund of $11,327,346. The crosswalks are based on the rainbow flag, which features horizontal bands of bright colours. This flag has been used as an LGBT pride flag since the late 1970s.

Since the rainbow crosswalk concept was introduced in Summerland at the end of the Aug. 10 municipal council meeting, members of the public have voiced some strong opinions both for and against the colourful intersections.

Vital Signs results will be released The Community Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen has received more than 1,500 responses to its 2015 Vital Signs survey, twice the number as were received last year.

The results will be released early next month as part of the biannual Vital Signs report. “We’re very pleased with the level of engagement. Through social media, we’re reach-

Bathtub race donation

The inaugural Great Ogopogo Bathtub Race hosted by the Summerland Yacht Club on Aug. 22, netted $18,444 for medical equipment at the new Patient Care Tower at Penticton Regional Hospital. Yacht Club members Jim Cavin, second from left, Gil and Edi Inglis, Shelley Reimer and Ray Davis were on hand for the cheque presentation to Janice Perrino, left, of the South Okanagan Simiilkameen Medical Foundation.

Providing feedback

Summerland resident Dave Burtch posts a comment about local culture on a display board at True Grain Bread.

“We want to get out to where the people are, not expect them come to us.” So far, more than 300 written surveys have been received. Online surveys have also been completed and submitted. Espeut-Post said the surveys received so far are from all age groups, from youths to seniors. They include responses from permanent residents, part-time residents and visitors. The committee members will also hold workshops to gain more understanding of the community’s views. The 15-member task force was formed in May. Its mandate is to consult with the community and develop a cultural plan. Members intended to spend six months collecting feedback.

With the housing market being a little slower than it has been in years past homeowners are looking for ways to increase their properties appeal to purchasers. One such way is to “stage” your property. Experience has shown that professionally staged properties sell quicker and for more money. Developers have been using this technique with their “show homes”for many years. Staging, simply put, is using selected furniture and accessories to highlight the architectural details of your home, creating an attractive environment which stimulates the prospective purchaser. The buyer views your home as a warm, inviting space. Anyone who has watched HGTV on television has seen what a difference this can make in the appearance of a home. Many purchasers are now viewing properties online first before they decide to go further. If those pictures create that spark of interest, then staging has been well worth it. Designers can assist a homeowner by providing recommendations for those who wish to make the changes themselves or they handle all the details. As with most things, your budget dictates what can be done!

EDITORIAL Considering culture Members of the municipality’s Cultural Plan Task Force are asking the public for their thoughts on Summerland’s culture. Throughout the summer, task force members have asked permanent residents, part-time residents and visitors for their comments and at present, more than 300 written questionnaires have been received. More responses have been submitted online. This is a good start, but it’s not nearly enough. It is important to bring in more voices during the consultation process. The community has a population of more than 11,000 and receives thousands of visitors each year. Everyone who lives here will be affected by the proposed cultural plan. This is a diverse community, encompassing people of many backgrounds and many views. Without participation from all segments of the community, the information will be incomplete and the resulting plan may not be an accurate reflection of the views of the entire community. The committee members have worked to gather responses. Now it’s time for the public to get involved as well. Five roving display boards will be set up at a number of community locations. The boards have questions about defining Summerland’s culture and setting priorities for the coming cultural plan. While Summerland has a thriving arts community, culture extends far beyond the various facets of the arts. Culture, in its various forms, affects all of us and Summerland’s culture defines us as a community. We need to think about how we define our unique culture, how to strengthen what we have and which cultural activities would add to our quality of life. The plan, when it is completed, will be our plan. If it is to represent us accurately, we need to take time to respond.

YOUR VIEWS

The search for accurate information I’ve been an avid reader my whole life, so last year, when I learned the Summerland Library was about to get a new, larger facility, I was elated. Books are good. More books are better. Next week, staff at the Summerland library branch will be busy moving into a new, much larger facility. The new branch will open on Oct. 3. I didn’t know anyone would question the new facility until I heard a comment from a friend, some time before the groundbreaking ceremony. “We don’t need a bigger library,” he said. His statement caught me off guard. This is someone quite knowledgeable and extremely well-read. I’ve often respected his insights. He must have noticed my puzzled expression because he added, “People are going to the Internet to find what they need.”

From here

John Arendt That’s true. A lot of information is already online, with more added all the time. When I need to research a fact, I turn to the Internet first. I use online news sites to keep up with what’s happening provincially, nationally and internationally. The online world contains more information than any brick and mortar library or chain of libraries. In a fraction of a second, a keyword search will often return millions of results. Any topic imaginable is out there somewhere.

Anyone can create content and post it online. It’s no longer the sole domain of publishing houses, music labels and film producers. The speed of the online world means information can be posted immediately. When it comes to online information, we can have it all and we can have it now. Maybe my friend is right and the future of the library will be

online. This was not a case of various interpretations of the same information; there was a question over whether some of the studies were credible. There are also too many instances where information has been posted without any checks as to its accuracy. In some cases, this can cause lasting damage to one’s reputation. Or, if one follows inaccurate informa-

Information is worthless if it isn’t accurate, and not all the information online is true. a laptop, tablet or smartphone with Internet access. The more I considered this scenario, the less I liked it. Information is worthless if it isn’t accurate, and not all the information online is true. Consider the recent debate over vaccinations, which developed in part because information could be circulated quickly and easily

tion about health and safety, the consequences can be serious. Sometimes a legitimate site is hacked and the content is changed. Sometimes a counterfeit site, parody or spoof is taken as truth. If inaccurate information is used, it becomes impossible to make a wise decision or reach an intelligent conclusion. The challenge

becomes separating the accurate information from the inaccurate or questionable. There are some excellent resources to point the way to accurate information. Megasources, at pages.pathcom. com/~dtudor/ megasources.htm, is one of the best places to start any search. And if an email, meme or article seems questionable, there are sites such as www.snopes.com and www.hoax-slayer.com to verify the information. The growth of online information means the librarian’s role is becoming that of an information guide. In response to my friend’s comment, this is why we need the libraries and librarians. There’s plenty of information online, but now, more than ever, we need help determining if it is credible and accurate. John Arendt is the editor of the Summerland Review.

Box store is not needed Dear Editor: As a citizen of Summerland for several years, I was stunned to find out about the proposal to put a Dollarama in this town. I only heard about

this a couple of months ago so I must have had my head buried in the sand or it wasn’t such a big deal to announce this very loudly. Some of us don’t understand the need

for a big box store period, but to have it on the same block as our Dollar Store? Allan Carter and staff have served us just fine over the years and will continue to be my place to shop.

Greed has now become a breeding ground for more of this behaviour by larger corporations and our city let this happen. Continue to support our local com-

munity by shopping in their stores. As Joni Mitchell sang, “put up a parking lot.” You can plop a big box store on top of it too if you want. Lyn Jaquish Summerland

THE EARLY YEARS

Silage 101

The Experimental Farm worker on the horse drawn equipment is not creating a corn maze. Cutting the corn stalks was the first step in producing silage, a fermented fodder, which made it possible to provide cud-chewing animals such as cows and sheep with good food in winter when green forage isn’t available. Experimenting with animal feed resulted in the livestock program at the Farm being increased in the mid-1920s because of the need to utilize the food produced (plus the additional fertilizer was a useful by-product.) Modern equipment has reduced the manual (and horse) labour required in the production of silage, but cows haven’t noticed the difference.

Terry Fox Run atmosphere positive Dear Editor: Despite overcast skies and windy weather, 176 Summerland residents (129 participants, 47 volunteers) came out on Sunday to support the 35th Annual Terry Fox Run. The event raised just over $4,500, bringing the cumulative total that Summerland has raised for the Terry Fox Foundation to almost $60,000. The atmosphere was both upbeat and reflective as partici-

pants spoke of family members and friends for whom they were running or walking. Lloyd Hayes, the organizer of one of the first Terry Fox Runs in Canada in 1981, held the crowd’s undivided attention as he shared his memories of the Marathon of Hope and of meeting Terry Fox in person. A special thankyou goes out to Lloyd Hayes, to Raj Gupta for emceeing the event, to the 13 Summerland Secondary

School students who helped with route marshalling and traffic control, and to the many other volunteers, who helped setup, register participants, cut and serve refreshments and sell t-shirts. We would also like to thank the local businesses and organizations that supported the event by providing refreshments, services, promotion and equipment. The event could not run without the

support of our amazing volunteers or local businesses. Photos from the event can be found on the event’s Facebook page, Terry Fox Run 2015 – Summerland. A few t-shirts are still available for purchase (please contact terryfoxrunsummerland@gmail. com). The Terry Fox Run is always hosted on the second Sunday after Labour Day, the month chosen by Terry to reflect when he had to stop run-

ning and Canadians had to start. Next year’s run will be held Sunday, Sept. 18 - mark your calendars! ‘I am not a dreamer, and I am not saying that this will initiate any kind of definitive answer or cure to cancer. But I believe in miracles. I have to.’ Terry Fox, October 1979. Heather and Mike Cooke Organizers, 2015 Summerland Terry Fox Run Summerland

Dear Editor: I sell water beads at the Summerland Street Market under the name Pacific Aqua Beads. Last Sunday I had a disaster! The wind blew my display over

and I lost 10 vases of beads. There were shards of glass and beads all over the road. Just as I was thinking “What am I going to do now,” two ladies showed up and asked ,”What can

we do to help?” They retrieved a garbage pail, two brooms, and two dustpans. Between the three of us we got the mess cleaned up quite quickly.

These two ladies were true saviours, I don’t know what I would have done without their help. I didn’t even get their names but I hope they read your paper and accept my

heartfelt thanks for their assistance. Their community spirit is truly commendable. Thank you, lovely ladies! You are my angels. Wayne Kerr Keremeos

Ask Your Dentist... Q: I just had an emergency root canal. Now what? - Jason

A: Root canals can be both good

Dr. Cindee Melashenko

and bad. In this situation, the infection causing your pain was removed - which was a huge relief I am sure! If your pain was a 9 out of 10 before, the root canal likely lowered it to a 2 out of 10. You may need Ibuprofen or Tylenol to keep it comfortable for 2-3 days following your visit, but the worst is over. The purpose of a root canal treatment is to rid the tooth of present infection. Your dentist may have given you antibiotics to help clear this infection. Please ensure you finish your prescription even if your pain is gone. Root canals are also recommended sometimes for teeth with large cavities (holes) or following very deep fillings. These teeth often do not have a lot of tooth structure left. I always recommend protecting or covering a root canaled tooth with a crown. Teeth with root canals have a higher risk of fracture so protecting them is crucial. Although root canals have some benefits, it is ALWAYS better to avoid them when possible. Remove the decay before it gets too deep and needs the root canal. Cover that old filled tooth with a crown before it breaks and needs a root canal. Wear a sports guard to prevent tooth injury (and a root canal). Preventing root canals is always a better solution!

Thursday, September 24, 2015 Summerland Review

Do balanced budgets really matter? The federal election campaign has produced a jumble of conflicting claims about whether or not Canada has a balanced budget or a deficit, how it was determined, and whether it even matters. The definitive word on this came out last week, with

the release of the Government of Canada Annual Financial Report, signed off by Auditor General Michael Ferguson. “The government posted a budgetary surplus of $1.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, compared to a budgetary deficit of $5.2 billion in 2013-

14,” the report says. “ R e v e n u e s increased by $10.7 billion, or 3.9 per cent, from 2013-14, reflecting increases across all major revenue streams. Program expenses increased by $5.2 billion, reflecting increases in major transfers to persons and other levels of government, offset in part by a decrease in direct program expenses.” The Conservative government’s preelection budget calculated that last year was in deficit, and this year would be the first in the black since 2008.

inal Affairs. Wrong and wrong. Veterans’ Affairs spending was up 13 per cent, and Aboriginal Affairs spending rose nearly 30 per cent. Trudeau has also insisted Canada is in recession now, which helps his suddenly adopted position that a Liberal government would run deficits for the next three years to build infrastructure. Harper ran the biggest deficits in Canadian history after the 2009 crash, bailing out auto makers and building lots of “shovel ready” infrastructure, as did the U.S. and other countries. The question raised by Trudeau’s plan is whether it’s a good idea to keep doing that without a financial crisis. France, for example, has run operating deficits every year since the early 1970s, although the current Socialist government vows to balance the books by 2017. France’s operating debt is now equal to 91 per cent of its Gross Domestic Product.

Canada’s net debtto-GDP ratio is currently around 30 per cent, down from frightening levels in the 1990s before the Chrétien government finally balanced the budget. (Fun fact: thenfinance minister Paul Martin not only cut transfers to provinces, unlike the current government, he inflicted the largestever cuts to the CBC. Harper’s CBC cuts were part of government-wide reductions, again due to that 2009 crisis.) NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has promised to balance the budget every year of his mandate, should he form Canada’s first-ever socialist government. He will spend the rest of the campaign trying to reconcile this promise with the grandiose spending plans he has piled up. Meanwhile in B.C., Finance Minister Mike de Jong may have benefited from Harper’s lowball budget. In his first quarter update

EI fund was raided Dear Editor: Over the past two decades the Liberals, then the Conservatives raided the Employment Insurance premium fund; by, get this, over $50 billion. That’s right – billion. Workers and employers have paid into this with the expectation that they were buying insurance

in case they became unemployed. But these governments funnelled that into general revenue. In 2014 the Harper government continued the process by bilking EI of $1.6 billion while they reduced claim payouts. When insurance premiums go to general revenue that becomes a tax. So much for the “no tax”

last week, de Jong reported that his February budget forecast is on track, with a $277 million surplus. This is despite a $300 million bill for forest firefighting, thanks to personal and corporate income tax revenue expected to be $374 million higher than budgeted. B.C. bases its tax revenue figures on federal estimates, and the ones they got early this year were clearly low. Understated or not, this is a nice problem to have. De Jong says that at the current pace, B.C. will pay off its accumulated operating debt by 2020. The last time the province was free of operating debt was 1982. The big debt peak came during the NDP 1990s, with another spike from 2009 to 2013 under the B.C. Liberals. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

governments. This $1.6 billion figure is basically the budget surplus the Conservatives are now boasting about in this election campaign. The only major party that constantly opposes this is the NDP. They firmly advocate that any EI surpluses should be directed to – guess what – reducing unemployment. Why shouldn’t all EI surpluses be directed to Canadian students learning useful trades and developing other critical skills? I call that an investment in our future; other leading countries invest in their youth. The Conservatives call it a bad idea for their continuous reelection platform. What do you think? On Oct. 19 vote for change. Vote to invest EI premiums where they should have been for the last two decades. Vote for the NDP. Steve Burke West Kelowna

Pair water with plants suitable to climate Judie Steeves Special to the Review

Water is not necessary to create colour and beauty in your home landscapes, according to Eva Antonijevic, community programs director for the Friends of the Summerland Ornamental Gardens. “ D ro u g h t - t o l e rant landscapes are not just gravel and yucca. They can be vibrant with colour,” she says, pointing to the Welcome Garden, where simple white flowers of a Japanese aster form a bright cloud beside the vibrant rose-coloured fleece flower, with a tall cluster of golden lace in the background. This is now a more drought-tolerant perennial bed, replanted in 2012 to “reflect the environmental ethics of today’s gardeners,” comments Antonijevic. “Gardens generally reflect the current mores of society,” she adds. Before that it was a rose garden, but all the roses were lost in the winter of 20102011 and the decision was made to transition it to experimental water-saving perennials. There was a water savings of 63,000 litres of water in the first year, enough to fill a swimming pool. Even if you’re not willing or able to cut

In the coming year, the gardens will feature a selection of plants highlighted at participating local garden centres as part of the Make Water Work Plant Collection, including thrift, lavender, sedum, coreopsis, blanket flower, catnip and thyme. Meanwhile, you can go to the Make Water Work website for details: www. makewaterwork.ca/ plants. Looking for additional inspiration for your yard? Antonijevic recommends the Okanagan Xeriscape Association website (www.okanaganxeriscape.org) which provides valuable tips and advice about conserving water on your landscape, but also a plant database of more than 400 drought-tol-

erant annuals, perennials, trees, vines and shrubs. With 24 per cent of all Okanagan water used on household lawns and gardens, and less water available per person than anywhere in Canada, valley residents are encouraged to reduce outdoor water use this summer and fall. Take the pledge to Make Water Work at www.MakeWaterWork.ca. Take the pledge to: o Water plants. Not pavement.

o Water between dusk and dawn. o Leave lawn five to eight centimetres tall o Leave grass clippings as mulch o Top dress with compost; and o Change out some lawn for droughttolerant turf and/or native and low-water variety plants. Make Water Work is an initiative of the Okanagan Basin Water Board and its Okanagan WaterWise program.

For instance, an irrigation audit led to repairing and raising the sprinkler heads in the turf areas, funded in part through an Okanagan Basin Water Board grant, and resulting in another 29 per cent water saving. Antonijevic has applied for a separate grant to hire a dedicated xeriscape gardener to continue garden renovations to reduce water needs and the expense of

annual beds. When she began at the gardens, 14,000 annuals were planted each spring. That said, there are a wide and colourful variety of droughttolerant annuals as well, from popular zinnias and portulaca to alyssum, calendula, cosmos, geranium, marigolds, California and Shirley poppies, petunias, sunflowers and nasturtium. And many can be started from seed.

School kits provided for refugee children United Church, community work together to assemble packages

School kits

Members of Summerland United Church show school kits which will be sent to refugee and displaced children in Europe, Asia and Africa. This is the 10th year the church and the community have worked together to create the school kits. From left are Toni Boot, Jennifer Rabie, Joyce Husch, Patricia Amundsen, Bev Smith, Marilyn Topham, Marion and Garry Hollingshead.

For the 10th year, Summerland United Church and the community have worked together to make school kits to send to refugee and displaced children and to areas where disasters have occurred. This year, more than 400 school bags will be taken to Vancouver to the Mennonite Central Committee for distribution throughout the world. The MCC sends school kits to places

including Syria, Zambia and Bosnia and Herzegovina where they are helping students and teachers with educational basics. Throughout the year, local residents and congregation members sew the bags that are filled with notebooks, coloured pencils, pencils, an eraser and a ruler. These supplies are bought with donations raised by the church’s Mission and Outreach Committee. Anyone who would like to be part of this project can contact Summerland United Church.

The school bags make a profound difference to the lives of students and teachers trying to maintain schooling in difficult situations. Many children will have only a limited opportunity to get an education before they must go out to work to help support their families. The more education they can receive, the better the chance they have of getting a better paying job. This is why each school kit means so much. Summerland United Church thanks the community for their continued support of this important project.

Candidates discuss matters of trust In the weeks leading up to the Oct. 19 federal election, the Summerland Review is asking a series of questions to the four candidates in the riding of Central Okanagan-SimilkameenNicola. Why should we trust you and your party to represent us in Ottawa?

Dan Albas

Conservatives

Canadians famously will recall the Liberal

party once promised, if elected, they would abolish the GST. This is why trust is so important in this election. Our government made a commitment to reduce the GST and we delivered on it. Eliminating the long gun registry, repealing the Canadian wheat board that only applied to western farmers & not farmers located in eastern Canada were also promises made that our Government delivered on. More recently our government promised a balanced budget in 2015 and this week’s report of a $1.9 billion surplus for the 2014-15 fiscal year demonstrate that once again our government delivers on our commitments. Why is this important? Today Canadians have the lowest federal tax burden in decades and our commitment is that we will not take more of your money in increased taxes and send it to Ottawa. The Conservative plan is the only one

promising low taxes and balanced budgets that support a strong economy. Both the Liberals and NDP are proposing to massively increase spending and taxes. This is not working in Europe and will not work in Canada. Our Conservative government has made record investments in infrastructure and locally has increased conservation areas.

turnout is so low. The Green Party has always been a beacon of solid science and facts. We make evidence based decisions. Being a long time conservative before being Green I am very careful to ensure we can be accountable for the dollars and the environment — and to my amazement it works every time. I have run my business for 23 years in the Okanagan. Many of my clients have been with me all those years. I feel that is also very good evidence that I am trustworthy.

I have spent the last

several years working towards becoming a lawyer and I value being able to speak my mind. I believe that caucus should be filled with critical, independent thinkers who have the ability to disagree without being disagreeable and a leader who welcomes contrasting ideas. This riding deserves a representative who has these skills and the freedom to exercise them in Ottawa. I believe I am that person. I spent the last several years working towards becoming a lawyer and I did not put that on hold to pursue a career that would stifle my voice. I am also a strong believer in using fact and evidence to inform decision-making. The Liberal Party of Canada has a plan to invest in growth and Canadians because that is what Canadians are telling us and it is what the evidence concludes. I am committed to using my skills to stand up for this riding

in Ottawa and the Liberal Party of Canada is committed to making decisions based on evidence. Those two factors are fundamental and I hope they instil the degree of confidence you will need to place your trust in me.

that we need to work on our economic stability, and we need to refocus the priorities from subsidizing the gas and oil industry back into our countries’ citizens who have worked hard their whole lives. The Parliamentary Budget Office has released a report which shows that the NDP has the best track record in Canada, of both provincial and federal parties for balanced budgets. We can’t even believe the Harper Conservatives when they tell us we’re not in a recession when the impartial reports tell us that we are actually in a recession.

Bordering on the magnificent I once had a customer that visited the library every day. He was a short, little fellow but his heart was as big as the sky. Every day he would come into the library and I would ask “How are you today?” He would reply without fail “Bordering on the Magnificent!” No matter what sort of day he was having, the answer was always the same. I must admit, most days at the library are pretty great.

Eat, slEEp, REad

Sue Kline We have the enviable task of answering questions, recommending fabulous books, encouraging

learning and watching new readers enter the magical realm of reading. What a job! In the late 1990s we discovered that our little library was, well, a bit too little for our community. We were just too cramped. It was about this time that the little fellow with the big heart got together a few others and started the Friends of the Summerland Library Society. Some of you may know that I’m talking

about Cam Carmichael and his famous determination. The FOSLS (as they are lovingly known) began advocating for a larger library space. They started having book sales of donated books, accepting bequests and donations towards the cause. Fast forward 15 years, several failed attempts to relocate and many, many book sales and the FOSLS are ready to support the ORL as they move into the

new library on Main Street. Over the years, the FOSLS have shown their commitment to the library time and time again. As proposals for new spaces came and went, the group kept a positive attitude and a solid belief in the value of the library to our community. Taking a page from the FOSLS playbook, the library staff made a decision several years ago to change our thinking.

We stopped thinking about what we couldn’t do and started thinking about what we could do. We stopped thinking about how often we bumped into loaded book trolleys and started thinking about how well our team could work together. We started brainstorming creative ways to make our little library shine and changed our motto to “Go Big or Go Home!” It’s amazing to realize how much difference a little change in thinking can make. The FOSLS have been beside us all the way, helping at kids programs, hosting author visits, walk-

ing in the parade and squirrelling away book sale funds 25 cents at a time. It’s hard to believe that our new library is almost ready. We know that for all the FOSLS, customers and staff that have been ‘wishin’ and ‘hopin’ and ‘thinkin’ and ‘prayin’, ‘plannin’ and ‘dreamin’ for opening day – it truly will be “Bordering on the Magnificent”. Join us on Oct. 3 at 9:30 a.m. for the grand opening of the new library at 9533 Main Street.

Terry Fox Run

A total of 129 participants and 47 volunteers gathered for the 35th Annual Terry Fox Run on Sunday. The event raised more than $4,500 for the Terry Fox Foundation.

Speaker to discuss wireless networks A molecular oncologist will discuss wireless technology at a public talk on Wednesday evening. Dr. Malcolm Paterson will present “Hooked on Wireless Technology: Are these gadgets harming us and getting out of control?” The talk will be held at the IOOF Hall on Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. It is organized by Summerland Citizens for Safe Technology. The group was formed in 2007 over concerns about microwave cellular towers in Sum-

merland. Paterson will talk about concerns over the use of wireless devices, the radiation emitted and its potential impact on health. In his career spanning 40 years, Paterson has authored 168 scientific articles, spoken at 120 scientific meetings and lectured at medical centres and universities. The presentation is free, although donations are accepted to cover meeting costs. For more information about the event, please call 250-494-4086.

Exhibit shows changes in technology The Summerland Museum’s newest exhibit, Technology, will showcase more than 100 years of technological history. The exhibit opens Sept. 30 from 6 to 8 p.m. Visitors can try their hand at using Morse Code on the electric telegraph,

play some early computer games on floppy disks, and hear the sounds of a hand-cranked 1915 phonograph. The exhibit covers technology from antique cameras and typewriters to some funky telephones from the 1980s and 1990s.

Mountain bike test supports charity work Carla McLeod Special to the Review

The Test of Humanity is all about giving. This is clearly evident by the many volunteers, organizations, businesses and participants that come together on race day. The fifth annual Test of Humanity was held on Sunday, with a total of 230 mountain bike riders taking part in the different race categories. Organizers of the event, Nic and Shei Seaton of Summerland reported that approximately $210,000 has been raised over the last five years. All of the money raised from pledges and entrance fees is donated to Canadian Humanitarian, a nonreligious, non-profit organization that provides for orphaned and vulnerable children in Ethiopia. The founder of the organization, Dr. Richard Northcott is also involved with putting on the event. Shei Seaton, who teaches at Okanagan College, took a group of students to Ethiopia to do humanitarian work and when they returned home

Mountain bikers began their ride on Sunday morning. The four-hour Test of Humanity required strength and speed from the participants. A total of 230 mountain bikers took part in the fund-raising event.

they all wanted to do more. They decided to try and do a mountain bike race and after two years of working towards that goal the first Test of Humanity Race was held. “In 2011 we started supporting Canadian Humanitarian with this bike race and it’s had huge community support since

then. It’s been a lot of fun. People like to have fun and at the same time they get to do something that is special,” explained Shei Seaton. “We’ve been part of building a school in Ethiopia and we’ve supported numerous students in their education. That is the kind of support that creates change in the world and that’s

why we continue.” The annual event has been designed for the whole family with categories and courses for mountain bike riders of all ages and abilities. To accommodate as many as possible the race is divided into five main categories, the Half-Hour Test (ages three to six), the One-Hour Test (ages seven to 10), the Two-Hour Test (ages 11-15), the Test Ride (one lap for ages 16 and over) and the Four-Hour Test (ages 16 and over). The course for the 4 Hour Test is a 9.7

kilometre loop trail that provides a bit of everything for the riders, including curves, hills and a beautiful view of Summerland and Okanagan Lake. It requires strength as well as speed and is not only fun but technical too. Some changes were made to the course this year. “We moved the trail over. There is a very popular hiking trail that leads up into the Test of Humanity course that has been there for years and we thought with the amount of bikes that were now

on the course, that we’d leave that to the horses and hikers. We moved the trail up,” explained Nic Seaton. “We added 1.5 kilometre of trail to the course and now it’s separate which is great and it’s actually really good fun and everybody likes it a lot.” For the riders taking part in the races, not only do they get to do something that they love to do, but they also know they are contributing to a good cause and giving back. One such young cyclist, Chloe Harr-

old, who completed the Two-Hour Test, said, “It’s a great course. They put so much work into it. The race is really fun to do.” For a list of the winners, to learn more about the cause and to see all those who contribute to making the race a reality, go to www. testofhumanity.com.

To launch the new relationship, CornettChing, of Summerland, will have a special paint scheme on the No. 2 Chevrolet at the Kentucky Speedway on Sept. 25. The paint scheme features the foundation’s Send A Kid To Camp campaign. “This is an exciting opportunity for me and my team,” Cornett-Ching said in a team statement. “It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Tim Hortons, and to have the chance to represent them with our No. 2 Tim Horton Children’s Foundation Chevrolet is a huge honour.”

look forward to driving awareness and involvement with our camps and growing our partnership together for the foreseeable future.” The Tim Horton

Children’s Foundation is committed to providing enriching camp experiences that develop lifelong skills for children and youth from lowincome families. The organization maintains seven campsites across the United States and Canada, including Camp Kentahten in Campbellsville, Kentucky, a short drive from Kentucky Speedway. “I had the opportunity to hear some of the stories from campers at Camp Kentahten last week and it was heartwarming to hear all the neat things they do at camp,” said Cornett-Ching. “There are so many things they never get the opportunity to experience in their young lives, but the camp environment makes it possible for them. It’s inspiring to see their faces light

up when they learn something new or do something they never thought possible.” In an effort to boost the Send A Kid To Camp campaign, Cornett-Ching will also carry an in-car camera for the Fox Sports 1 broadcast of the Kentucky event featuring the foundation’s logo and website where fans can make donations to the Foundation. Donations of all sizes are accepted and fans may also choose to donate their time as a camp volunteer as well. The Kentucky Speedway where Cornett-Ching will debut the new partnership is the penultimate round for the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards. The race, featuring the THCF in-car camera, can be seen live on Friday night on Fox Sports 1.

which kicks off at 8:30 a.m. The festivities will include a gourmet Oyama sausage, entertainment, regatta races, paddleboard demos and oldschool orchard fun and games. Proceeds from ticket sales go to the Naramata Playschool Society. Tickets for the regatta can be purchased at naramatacider.com or at the Naramata General Store.

“Every Life Tells A Story”

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Fran (Frances) Mary Labossiere. Our breaking hearts will hold dear the wonderful memories of Fran, as a devoted and much loved wife, mother, grandma, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. Family was paramount in Fran’s life. As a friend, you were welcomed into her fold as extended family. Fran and Mic were the most gracious hosts to all, and their home in Trout Creek was often full with any number of family and friends. Food, there was always delicious food generously shared with all. Fran will forever be cherished by husband, Mic, son Mark and grandson Adam; son Ken, daughter- in- law, Debbie, granddaughter Sydney and her husband Kelly (Frame) and granddaughter Jennifer; son Steven, grandson Connor and granddaughter Angela; daughter Wendy and son-in-law, Bruce (Crowe) and grandson, Bradley. Fran’s children, their spouses and her grandchildren were her pride and joy. Her passion was the Summerland Healthcare Auxillary Thrift Shop and in lieu of flowers we ask for donations to be made to this wonderful charity at 13216 North Victoria Road, Summerland, BC, V0H 1Z0. Fran’s wonderful spirit and love of life will never be forgotten.

We will miss her forever so please join us in celebrating her life at the Summerland Catholic Church at 11 am on Saturday, September 26th, reception to follow at the church.

to know? I didn’t think twice as I rolled the odometer just a tad to hide some of that trail dust. In typical curber fashion, I left no traces of what I’d done. To a trusting buyer, I was giving them a great deal! Like making a silk purse from a sow’s ear… As always, lady luck was on my side. I met an older couple in the campground where I was staying. They told me a

get them home safely. I even gave them a “special price.” Two for one! Two for me, that is, and some cash! They were thrilled. The lady even gave me some mighty tasty peaches as a thank-you for saving their vacation. A little spit and polish, some electrical trickery and I had two vehicles to sell. Their old pickup and their trailer! I could ride my scooter home if I needed to.

It’s a good thing they didn’t learn from their first experience! They didn’t think to call a licensed RV dealer for help they could trust. Didn’t ask for a vehicle history report, like CarProof. Didn’t spot the rust. As the young Clint Eastwood would say, I’d be livin’ high and wide at the end of my ride! But first, I needed to go for a swim and then stop at that fine looking winery up the road.

Licensed Dealers Beat Curbers by a Mile Deciding between buying privately or from a licensed dealer? Buying from a private seller might have one perceived benefit – lower price. But, even that can disappear when looking at the risks, especially if the private seller is actually a curber – an unlicensed dealer intentionally breaking all the rules. Unlike private sellers, licensed dealers must be transparent in their selling practices. This means they must sell vehicles in a clear and open manner while standing behind any representations they make. Dealers can’t withhold information that would cause errors in judgment about whether or not to buy the vehicle. Licenced dealers must also follow strict selling standards. Only licensed salespeople who pass a background check and a certification course are allowed to sell vehicles. Dealers must declare prior out-of-province registrations and vehicle uses (if it was a lease, rental, taxi

or emergency vehicle). Prior damage, above certain limits, must also be disclosed before purchase. And, licensed dealers are obligated to sell vehicles that meet all safety requirements and are free of unpaid liens. As part of being licensed, dealers contribute to a customer compensation fund that regularly settles eligible claims around the province. Dealers also offer extra services and savings such as financing and warranty options. And, there’s a sales tax advantage when trading-in a vehicle at a dealer. Licensed dealers make an investment in their staff, operations, reputation and their community. Curbers escape doing any of the above. And, the Vehicle Sales Authority can assist only with purchases from licensed dealers. If something goes wrong with a private sale, you’re on your own. Learn more at the 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.
