Contract awarded for roundabout, sidewalks and bicycling lanes
by John Arendt
Upgrade work at the inter-section of Victoria Road South and Prairie Valley Road will begin in spring now that the contract for the project has been awarded.
On Monday, council approved the bid from H and M Excavat-ing for the intersection work and the Prairie Creek storm water diversion project.
The bid was for $3,327,149.99 plus tax.
Municipal treasurer Ken Ostraat said the bid was the low-est of the five bids received for the work.
The plan includes sidewalks on both sides of Prairie Valley Road and the addition of bike lanes in the area.
Council also approved bor-rowing up to $1 million to extend the project from the Prairie Valley Road and Vic-toria Road South intersection to the west end of Saunders Crescent.
The borrowing is to be repaid within five years.
The total cost of the project is $3.8 million, with $2.99 million for the work already in munici-
pal coffers. Mayor Janice Perrino said the
roundabout intersection alone could be completed at a cost of $2.6 million, but additional work, including sidewalks and bike lanes, are also necessary.
Other members of council agreed with the need for side-walks.
“The traffic is never going to let up in that area,” said Coun. Martin Van Alphen, adding that Prairie Valley Road is classified as a highway.
Coun. Orv Rob-son, a former RCMP sergeant in the com-munity, said the intersection at Prai-rie Valley Road and Victoria Road South has long been an area of concern.
“I’ve watched the intersection for 20 years and it is the most congested area in Summerland,” he said.
Perrino said the borrowing can be done without a tax increase, but this will also mean post-poning some other capital pro-jects until the money has been repaid.
The construction work is expected to begin in early spring, with the majority of the construc-tion to be done during 2013.

Policing calls show decreaseMischief complaints down, thefts increase
by John Arendt
Summerland RCMP members had fewer calls in the second quarter of 2012 than they had in the same period a year ago, according to the latest policing statistics.
On Monday evening, Sgt. Mona Kauffeld of the Summer-land RCMP detachment pre-sented the first quarterly report to municipal council.
From April to June, Summer-land RCMP responded to 618
calls for service, a 10 per cent drop from the same period in 2011.
Mischief complaints dropped from 57 in the second quarter of 2011 to 34 in the second quarter of this year.
This year’s mischief figure includes nine reports of broken windows at businesses and vehicles overnight on June 25 to 26.
Other crime statistics were higher than in 2011.
Auto thefts and thefts from vehicles were both up from a year ago.

Anyone with information about the theft is asked to call Crime Stoppers or the Summer-land RCMP detachment.New driver suspended
On Aug. 26 at 1:19 a.m., a motorist on High-way 97 turned around after seeing a police car.
Police followed and stopped a 20-year-old Penticton woman.
The woman was given a blood alcohol test and blew a reading of 0.35. Because she is a new driver and is to have a blood alcohol level of zero, she was issued a 12-hour sus-pension.Bottles stolen
On Aug. 24, police were called after 40 pal-lets of glass bottles were taken from a business on Robinson Road.

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

Council meetings will be cancelledContinued from Page 1
There were seven vehicle thefts reported, up from four in the same per-iod in 2011.
In the first half of this year, there have been 11 reported vehicle thefts, compared with five in the same period a year ago.
“A number of Summerland’s stolen vehicles at the begin-ning of this quarter were believed to be associated with a prolific vehicle thief based out of Pentic-ton,” Kauffeld said. “He was arrested in late April and is cur-
rently in custody awaiting charges of robbery, possession of stolen property and other criminal code offences.”
The number of break and enters also rose, with 11 reported from April to June. In the same period a year ago, there were seven break and
enters reported.Other police files
included six drug files for possession.
On the roads, police issued four three-day immediate roadside prohibitions and one 24-hour prohibition for alcohol use. One driver was charged with impaired driv-ing.
Auto thief arrested
VICTORIA – NDP leader Adrian Dix has announced that one of his first acts as pre-mier would be to withdraw B.C. from the joint review of the Enbridge pipeline proposal from Alberta to Kitimat.
The two-year federal-led review will be mostly done by next May, but Dix pro-poses to start a new provincial assessment to examine at the B.C. portion. He doesn’t know how much it would cost, and under ques-tioning he all but admitted the intention is to study the pipe-line to death.
Fresh from a summer tour of the pipeline route to reaffirm solidarity with its opponents, Dix is hardly in a position to con-sider anything but maximum resistance. As Premier Christy Clark did in her showdown with Alberta over benefits, Dix hinted that provincial permits for river and wildlife crossings would be made as expensive as possible, if not refused.
The same fate awaits the Kinder Morgan plan to twin the existing Trans-Mountain oil pipeline to Burnaby. Dix left the impression that he would undo the years of work that have gone into bringing some rational sense to environmental approvals that can be, and have been, dragged out for years.
The B.C. hearings would provide another platform for opponents, and more com-
plaints to justify refusal at the provincial level, to go along with court cases and direct-action protests.
Speaking of which, the front-al assault by agitators at the federal Enbridge hearings has mostly petered out. After 4,000-odd people were signed up to speak, most didn’t bother, and some hearings were cancelled. Apparently slacktivists such as “Jonathan L. Seagull” and “Cave Man” didn’t make it out of their Vancouver basement suites to
tell the panel oil is bad.Professional environment-
alists are now wringing their hands over Ottawa’s decision to leave smaller-scale reviews to the province. This means there won’t be a duplicate federal review of the urgently needed refit of the John Hart Dam on the Campbell River.
One reader suggested that environmental pioneer Roder-ick Haig-Brown is still spinning in his grave over the damming of this legendary salmon river. Perhaps, but that was in 1947. Does it make sense today to lard pointless bureaucracy onto a reconstruction that replaces wooden pipes and provides earthquake protection, without expanding river impact?
NDP environment critic Rob Fleming hammered away at the B.C. Liberals about this in the spring, reminding them that
Auditor General John Doyle had exposed a lack of resources in the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office, even before Ottawa’s changes. Provincial assessment already must be done with the participation of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Transport Can-ada, the provincial ministries of natural resources and energy and mines, and of course aborig-inal communities.
And don’t be fooled into believing a federal review would go out and count the tadpoles
and caribou again. It’s only the desk jobs that have proliferated.
There weren’t just two levels of duplicate review, but three. Earlier in their mandate, the B.C. Liberals exempted major pro-jects such as mines and energy generation from local govern-ment control, citing the “prov-incial interest” similar to the federal authority over projects that cross provincial borders.
I agree with the NDP that B.C. environmental assessment needs more resources, in par-ticular to do the follow-up on approved projects, as called for by the auditor general.
Forest management needs more money too. All the more reason not to waste resources on political gestures.

SUMMERLAND REVIEWA PART OF THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1908 WWW.SUMMERLANDREVIEW.COM
Summerland’s traditional back-to-school bush party is a heartache in the making.
Y o u n g p e o p l e , unsupervised and consum-ing alcohol, in a remote outdoor setting, operat-ing motor vehicles, are factors that can combine to create tra-gedy.
Parents need to be aware of the possibility of such a party occurring this time of year, and young people need to give it a miss.

Summerland’s senior athletes set a good example for people of all ages.
Our medal-ists and par-ticipants in the B.C. Senior Games, held in Burnaby last week, inspire us to get out there, get active and stay in the game.
While they continue to strive for excellence in their chosen sports, they enjoy the benefits of a physical lifestyle.
ourpickImproving
roadsAn upgrade to the inter-
section at Prairie Valley Road and Victoria Road South will greatly improve the flow of traffic in the area.
For years, the intersection — a four-way stop — has been a congested corner, with traffic lined up in all direc-tions during the busiest per-iods weekday mornings and afternoons. The morning rush is often a morning wait.
A four-way stop is no long-er an adequate traffic control at this intersection.
The two roads are both heavily travelled and Prairie Valley Road is designated a highway.
In addition, there are two schools near the intersection, resulting in even more traffic at the start and end of the school day.
There was no way this pro-ject could have been delayed any longer.
In addition to the inter-section work and a storm water diversion project on Prairie Creek, the work will also include the addition of sidewalks and bike lanes on part of the road.
With the volume of traffic along Prairie Valley Road, side-walks and bike lanes become increasingly important.
Of course a project of this magnitude comes at a price. The costs are calculated at $3.8 million and the muni-cipality has approved short-term borrowing of up to $1 million.
In order to repay the bor-rowed money without raising taxes, other projects will be postponed.
While it is often possible to tighten the belt and put off a project for a short time, the danger is that the short-term delays can grow into long-term delays.
Then, when the work can be postponed no longer, the costs may easily be much greater than if the work had been done earlier.
While we can appreciate efforts to keep taxes low, it is important to be flexible enough to take on upgrades when they are necessary.

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

No responses from Ryga CentreDear Editor: Keith Ferlin, in
justifying putting George Ryga’s house up for sale, says Sum-merland was never going to embrace the Ryga Centre.
I once joined the
society, made a dona-tion and said I’d like to help in any way. I never heard back. Not a thank-you, never an AGM notice, nothing.
When, a bit miffed, I left a message to Ken
Smedley asking for a tax receipt (as the soci-ety said on its web-site it would give for charitable donations,) I again never received a reply nor a receipt.
A couple of years ago, at a public meet-
ing to rally commun-ity support to stop Okanagan College from moving Ryga’s house to Vernon, I recounted my previ-ous experience with the society.
Peter Hay, who had
just moved to Sum-merland, nodded his head to suggest he had heard that story before and asked everyone to give the society another chance. So I joined on the spot and made another dona-
tion. And never heard back.
To me, the sale of Ryga’s house does not represent a failure of the people of Sum-merland to embrace the Ryga Centre; it represents the unwill-
ingness or inability of a small clique to share their memory of George Ryga with the next generation and the wider commun-ity. Such a shame.

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

Dog beach valued
Appraisal was an impossible taskDear Editor:Last week the
new Wharton Street development agree-ment was finalized.
This agreement involved the sale of municipal land, across the street from our community ceno-taph, at the very core of our community.
The question the taxpayer should be asking is: Did we get a fair price for the
land that we sold?Determining a fair
price for this par-ticular piece of prop-erty was not easy. Standard procedure included an apprais-al.
Usually an apprais-al includes a price comparison with other similarly zoned and located proper-ties.
This was an impos-sible task.
Rarely are lands sold at the very cen-tre of a community.
Virtually never do municipalities sell their land at the heart of their com-munity.
The appraisal was completed on April 2. There was a compari-son of the land costs of seven commercial properties.
None of the com-pared properties were
zoned to permit five storey buildings.
None would even remotely be con-sidered central down-town lands.
The closest prop-erty to a down-town core was on Pandosy Avenue, on the opposite side of Highway 97, far from Kelowna’s city core.
Because of these facts, the so called “appraised price”
must be viewed as a complete guessti-mate.
Was it a fair price? Hmm. Was a second appraisal indicated? Absolutely.
It is quite remark-able that municipal council and staff were able to project into the future and determined that these core lands were sur-plus and these lands will not be needed
for future commun-ity use.

The Labour Day holiday we enjoy was inspired by the efforts of Canadian trade unions to improve workers’ rights.
Celebrated the first Monday of September, this year on Sept. 3, the holiday was originally a day to campaign for better working conditions and pay.
Now it marks the end of the summer vacation season and the beginning of the school year. Here in Summerland many of us use the three-day weekend to travel, entertain and enjoy outdoor activities such as hik-ing, biking, golfing, camping and
boating. Canada’s Labour Day origin-
ated on April 15, 1872, when the Toronto Trades Assembly organized Canada’s first signifi-cant labour demonstration. The demonstration was to seek the release the 24 leaders of the union who were imprisoned for striking to get a nine-hour work-ing day.
In those days, it was illegal to strike. Strikes were considered a criminal conspiracy to disrupt trade.
There was large public sup-port for the demonstration.
Within a few months, Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, promised to repeal the Canadian laws against trade unions. The Canadian Labour Congress was formed the next year.
Labour unions in the United States were inspired by the annual observance in Canada, and started a similar event. In 1894 the observance became a national holiday in both the United States and Canada. Many other countries have a day cele-brating the labour movement on May 1.

Q I have a complete upper denture and I cannot eat the foods I love, such as
steak and apples, without the denture becoming loose when I bite into these harder foods. I have heard of implants to hold dentures in. Is this a possibility for me? I do not want to be without my teeth though.
Lorne C.
A Thanks so much for the question Lorne. Your problem is not unusual. We have patients in all the time with the same concern. Last year I
attended a continuing education course which allows me to offer an amazing cutting edge technology which can help patients with your dental issue.
Mini Dental Implant Retained Dentures are the perfect option. Even the best denture adhesives can’t compare to the denture stability achieved with mini dental implants. Mini dental implants are designed to help denture wearers laugh, talk and live with comfort and confi dence.
Mini dental implants were developed to provide greater denture stability for those who:
Can’t withstand the rigors of full-size implant surgery• Don’t have enough bone to allow for full-sized implants • to be placedAre seeking a more affordable dental implant option•
Mini Dental Implants are a minimally invasive, affordable dental implant procedure that can provide the denture stability you’ve always wanted – without the costs and time associated with full-size implant treatment. Smaller than full-size implants, mini dental implants are inserted to retain and stabilize your lower and upper dentures. Mini Dental Implants:

Library agreement not reachedDear Editor:The Aug. 23 arti-
cle entitled “Whar-ton papers signed” gives the impression that an agreement with the Okanagan Regional Library has been signed.
There is no such signed agreement involving the Sum-merland library.
In the Summerland District’s Aug. 22 news
release, Mayor Janice Perrino is quoted as saying, “We hope that the board for the Okanagan Regional Library will join us in this development so we can create a cultural hub that our community will be proud of.”
The Summerland Library has long needed a larger, more suitable library space.
It will be 30 years in November since the library opened in its current location.
Twelve years ago, in 2000, in the Summer-land Review, Jan Carl-son, the community librarian at the time, expressed concern that the library was half the size it should be for a community the size of Summerland.
The library is often
one of the first places visitors go to in Sum-merland. The librar-ians cheerfully wel-come more than 6,500 residents and visitors per month, with help-ful service and infor-mation, while deal-ing with daily chal-lenges of inadequate and even hazardous working space that now holds more com-puters, media and
books than ever.The Summerland
Library has been a source of inspiration for thousands of Summer-land children through the highly popular Summer Reading Club and related reading programs.

Dear Editor,I would like to
thank the citizens of Summerland who have supported the Emergency Social Services program.
For those who have joined the group and taken the neces-sary training to pre-pare for the work you might have to do in an evacuation, thank you for giving of your time and talents.
To the mayors and councillors that I served under during my eight years as a member and director, thank you for your support and words of encouragement.
To the members of
the Summerland Fire Department, thank you for your help, support and pro-viding space to call “home” and in which to store our supplies and equipment.
There are many others that I owe a debt of gratitude to for your support, words of encourage-ment and friendship.
For the ESS mem-bers that helped in the Peachland Recep-tion Centre back in 2009, thank you for all the work you did that weekend — in the dark and into the wee hours of the morning. It put us all to the test.
Now, as of Aug. 31, 2012, I will be end-ing my emergency work, going into full retirement. I will
miss working with my co-workers at the Mobile Support Team level, as well as the local volunteers, but
I will always enjoy a chit-chat when we meet.

Dear Editor: The Wharton Street papers are
signed, but where are the details?What is the value of the land, and
what will the city get for it?When the projects are completed,
who will own the land, the buildings, and the cultural centre? Will there be leases involved, and if so, what are the terms, and for how long?
$2.8 million for the cultural centre, $2.1 million for a museum, and $1.0 million for a ‘service centre.’ That is $5.9 million. How many more mil-lions for the library?
That is a huge amount of money for city taxpayers, and is not the right thing to do at a time when we are facing a potential global financial collapse.
The cultural centre defines the downtown of any city. Libraries and museums could be part of that centre.
To ensure the integrity of the cen-tre is not compromised, it must be a free standing structure, owned and operated by the city, and citizens and visitors alike must have unfettered access to this important centre.
To disperse these public compon-ents into separate commercial build-
ing structures with an unpredictable make-up of tenants defies logic.
Another disturbing part about the proposed development is the fact that it is projected to become several stor-ies higher than any other building downtown. Any change or develop-ment that materially changes the char-acter of our community must have the undisputed support of the citizens.
That support will have to be expressed by means of a binding ref-erendum.

Ziebarth follows a conservative pathDear Editor,It is always inter-
esting to see new people jumping into the political arena.
We sometimes get fed up with the same old politicians and political parties feeding on the pub-lic trough, with most of them in there just long enough to col-lect a pension and getting the connec-tions needed to find a secure sinecure, so it’s good to see some new faces.
A while back, Mark Ziebarth, the new B.C. Liberal wanna-be, referred to me as a socialist, and again as “Comrade,” sug-
gesting that I might even be a commun-ist.
Actually, that may not be too far from an accurate description, as I do believe in the equality of individ-uals, and the basic principle of Marx’s philosophy, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”
According to the article in the Review, Ziebarth’s described himself as “a fiscal and financial con-servative.”
Which is odd in that he wants to run for the Liberal Party.
However, to be sure what he meant, I looked up the mean-ing of “fiscal conserv-atism.” Basically it is a “…policy that advo-
cates avoiding defi-cit spending. Fiscal conservatives often consider reduction of overall government spending and nation-al debt as well as ensuring a balanced budget.” (Wikipedia)
Sounds good, but what happens when you put it into prac-tice?
The idea was pro-moted by Ronald Reagan in the U.S.
During his tenure income tax rates of the top personal tax bracket (that’s the one per cent which we hear so much about) was reduced from 70 per cent to 28 per cent in seven years, while payroll taxes were increased for the lower third of the workers.
The most famous of
the American “fiscal conservatives” (read Republicans,) George Bush, accounted for the largest increase in Federal debt of any other president in U.S. history.
In fact, during his tenure, he accumu-lated a debt of $5 trillion — not exactly
a conservative num-ber.
Not much was written about who Ziebarth was before he became a Can-adian.
You might recall that, as an American citizen, he jumped into Summerland’s mayor and coun-
cil elections a few years ago, playing a little game of hide and seek with the citizens while adver-tising anonymously to elect certain indi-viduals.
His background in the States included a stint with the Repub-lican (uh, Mitt Rom-
ney?) Heritage Foun-dation, where he was probably indoctrin-ated with his present fiscal conservative spirit.
Good luck to you, Mr. Ziebarth.
May the best can-didate win.

Dear Editor:On behalf of the commit-
tee for the 50-year reunion of the Summerland Second-ary School grad class of 1962, we would like to take this opportunity to thank The Beanery, SASS Boutique, Wil-lowbrook Lane and the Bulk Food Emporium for their sup-port of our weekend event.
Bell, Jacoe and Co were also a great help offering their facilities to reproduce our classmates bios.
The community should be aware that both the Yacht Club and the Legion in this town have excellent facili-ties for hosting these types of events.
The Kiwanis Club lived up their world renowned standard for their pancake brunch.
Audie Yastremski put on a first rate meal at our Saturday dine and dance.
Lastly, hats off to our fellow grads and friends who did
the grunt work to get the vari-ous venues operational all of which made for a most enjoy-able weekend for all.
After a tour of the high school, it is evident that the students of Summerland are well served by a staff and facility that provide a very modern approach to educa-tion.

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

Nationally ac-claimed wine judges will sample the best Summerland wines at a wine fair in Sep-tember.
The Remax Sum-merland Wine Fair and Competition will include judging on Sept. 6 and a public tasting at the Sum-merland Fall Fair on Sept. 8.
Mike Stohler, organizer of the event, said it is a way to pro-mote the community’s wines and wineries.
“The purpose is to hold Summerland’s wines up to an inter-national standard,” he said. “It’s a showcase event to show we are competing at an inter-national level.”
The judges are Terry David Mulli-gan, John Schreiner and Rhys Pender.
Mulligan, an actor and television per-sonality, hosts Tasting Room Radio, a week-ly one-hour radio show about food and wine. Schreiner is Canada’s most pro-lific writer of books on wine. Pender is a wine educator, writer and consultant to the wine industry.
New wineries will be included this year, with the addition of
Silk Scarf and Sleep-ing Giant.
The public tasting event will be at the
Summerland Arena mezzanine area on Saturday, Sept. 8 from 1 to 4 p.m.
Last year, when the event was held for the first time, there was considerable inter-
est in it. “We didn’t anticipate how suc-cessful it would be,” Stohler said. This year, the number of tickets is doubled, with 300 available.
S u m m e r l a n d ’ s wine industry has grown significantly in the past two dec-ades. Stohler said the wine competition will show the public the quality of the com-munity’s wines.
“What B.C. is renowned for is the quality aspect,” he said.
Wine fair planned
“The purpose is to hold Summerland’s wines up to an international standard.”

Judging wineJohn Schreiner, one of Canada’s experts on wine, will be one of the judges at the Remax Summerland Wine Fair and Competition next month.
Skaters are prepar-ing to lace up their skates and get on the ice as the Summer-land Skating Club holds its registration next week.
Registration will be at the Summerland Arena on Thursday, Sept. 6 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
The registration
evening will also include a skate and dress swap.
Dale Wood, a coach with the skating club, said the skating club offers instruction for ages four and up.
The Tiny Tots pro-gram for pre-school children and the CanSkate program for beginning skat-ers are both held on Tuesdays and Thurs-days.
The club has added a power skating pro-gram this year.
The program is for ringette and hockey players who wish to hone their existing skating skills. Those in the power skating program should be able to skate forward and backward and stop on command.
Wood said there are many benefits for those who participate in figure skating, in addition to improv-ing fitness.
“Skating takes a lot of self-discipline,” she said. “It takes persev-erence and a lot of hard work.”
While there are many girls in the skat-ing club, she would like to see more boys enter the program.
“It’s very athletic,” she said. “You have to be very strong to be a skater.”
Registration forms for the skating club are available at the Summerland Aquatic Centre.
Information about the club is available online at summer-landskatingclub.com.

Family Skate

It will be a celebra-tion of Terry Fox’s life and legacy when an annual walk and run takes place in Sep-tember.
The Terry Fox Run will be held on Sun-day, Sept. 16 at the Summerland Aquatic Centre.
Registration is at 10 a.m. and the event begins at 11 a.m.
In April, 1980, Fox, a cancer survivor, began his Marathon of Hope, a run across Canada, starting in St. John’s Nfld. In September, the cancer returned and he was forced to end his run near Thunder Bay, Ont. Runs in Fox’s honour have been held across Canada since 1981.
Keith Johnson, organizer of the Terry Fox Run in Summer-land, said the run is important to cele-brate Fox’s legacy and vision.
“There’s huge admiration for what he did,” Johnson said.
In addition to the run, the movie Terrywill be shown in Memorial Park on Friday, Sept. 7. Before the movie is shown, Johnson will show a series of video clips from Fox’s Marathon of Hope. T-shirts for the event will also be on sale at the film showing.
The run on Sept. 16 will have a one-kilometre walk in the downtown area, a five-kilometre loop which follows the course for the Giant’s
Head Run and a three-kilometre course. The three-kilometre course is new for this year.
Johnson said the event is not a compe-tition. “The key to the Terry Fox Run is par-ticipation,” he said. “There is no timing involved.”
There is no regis-tration fee, although participants may collect pledges and sponsorship. Forms are available at the Summerland Aquatic Centre, the Summer-land Credit Union and other businesses.
Information on the Summerland run is available through a page on Facebook.com. In addition, information is avail-able online at terry-fox.org, with a link to the Summerland run.
Run in memory of Fox’s legacy
Restored and cus-tomized vehicles will be on display at the seventh annual End-less Summer Show and Shine on Sept. 8.
The car show, on Main Street, runs from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Garry Janzen, one of the event organ-izers, said around 200 vehicles from around the province will be on display.
“We’ve got a big selection of different kinds of vehicles,” he said. “We’ve even
got an old logging truck.”
This year, he said organizers would also like to have some motorcycles on dis-play.
The vehicles include restored cars and trucks, custom-
ized vehicles and hot rods.
The show, which coincides with the Summerland Fall Fair weekend, includes a Kiwanis pancake breakfast at 8 a.m. and classic rock from FlashBack.
Vintage vehicles on display
SADI receives funding from TelusThe Summerland
Asset Development Initiative has received a $5,000 donation from Telus.
The funding is part of $106,000
donated by Telus to charities working with youths in the Thompson-Okanag-an region.
“On behalf of our board members, I
am thrilled with the positive and mean-ingful impact these projects are having on our community and we are so very proud to support them,” said Nancy Greene Raine, chair of the Telus Thomp-son Okanagan Com-munity Board.
Laceydawn Loepp-ky, youth activities coordinator at the youth centre, said the money will go to summer activities and leadership develop-ment.
Throughout the
summer, there are many activities pro-vided for youth.
In fall, the youth centre will work on projects with a stu-dent leadership team.
Loeppky said funding at the youth organization is stable, but staffing is low.
Grant funding is available, but most of the grants avail-able are for specific projects rather than the day-to-day oper-ations of the organ-ization.
Let us knowIf you would like a reporter or photographer
to cover a special event, please contact the newsroom at least one full business day in advance.
We will try our best to accommodate you, but we are not always able to attend all events. If this is the case, we will do our best to help you find another solution.

Follow up and fair play key for local, national issues
Last fall I heard from a number of constituents who expressed their con-cerns over allegations made regarding auto-mated phone calls during the last fed-
eral election. These robo-calls
as they are more frequently referred to, have been under investigation for some time and last fall I committed to provid-ing more informa-tion on this topic as it became available.
Late last week a sig-nificant new develop-ment occurred as the Liberal riding asso-ciation in Guelph, Ontario was found to have violated the Telecommunications Act by using auto-mated “robo-calls” in a manner that did not
conform to the act. Specifically the
Liberals had created a fictitious caller and proceeded to engage in anonymous auto-mated calls of a polit-ical nature.
The Telecommuni-cations Act requires that automated calls cannot be made in an anonymous man-ner and must provide call back information and disclose who the calls are being made on behalf of.
The penalties in this case included $4,900 fine for the Liberal Riding Association and my understand-ing is that Liberal MP Frank Valeriote has also issued a public apology for the calls.
For the record I fully support the introduction of new electoral oversight that would provide more transparency and accountability for our democratic pro-cess. While it can be beneficial to use tech-nology to enhance our electoral system, we must also be vigilant to ensure that the use of new technologies cannot manipulate or otherwise interfere with the outcome. In recent reports I have made efforts to debunk some of the more common mis-information that has been circulating, most recently pointing out that a widely circulat-ed e-mail showing an
extravagant new jail recently built here in Canada (rumoured to be located in northern Ontario) that is in fact not located in Canada at all but rather in Austria.
However not all information that cir-culates on govern-ment is false.
For example the single issue I remain most commonly asked about to this very day remains Bill C-428.
Bill C-428 was a Bill that proposed to amend the Old Age Security Act so that those who have immi-grated to Canada could start collecting OAS pension benefits after just three years of Canadian resi-dency instead of the current 10.
Enraged Canadian taxpayers continue to ask me on a weekly basis if what this bill proposes is accurate and what I am doing to stop such a bill, a bill in that their opin-ion is neither fair nor fiscally responsible.
The first part of the question is yes, Bill C-428 was a Private Member’s Bill intro-duced into the former 40th Parliament by the Liberals and was seconded by Liberal MP Bob Rae.
The second and most important part of the question to be aware of is that this bill did not advance
beyond first reading and is not a bill that I or the government is supportive of and if such a bill was to be reintroduced by the opposition (as NDP MP Libby Davies did last year before sud-denly withdrawing such a motion,) we would strongly oppose it. Another concern I would like to briefly pro-vide an update on is my ongoing effort to research local gas pricing in our region.
In the past week working with the assistance of a local citizen and the free-dom of information act, some signifi-
cant information has become available that I believe will benefit this process.
Although my research will con-tinue I am hopeful to be able to present a submission to the Federal Competition Bureau at some point this fall.
I will continue to provide updates on this topic however I believe it is import-ant to take action and consumers deserve more transparency and accountability in this process than cur-rently exists.
As there are still a few weeks remaining before the House of Commons resumes I am hopeful to hear from more of you.
If you have the time for a meeting or phone call please give contact my office either locally at 250-770-4480 or toll free at 1-800-665-8711.

Steam starts hockey season
All ready for Sprint TriathlonTriathletes of all
ages will compete in the Sprint Triathlon this weekend.
The race, at Peach Orchard Beach, is considerably shorter than the Ironman Canada course.
For adults, there is a 750-metre swim, a 20-kilometre bicyc-ling portion and a five-kilometre run. This is half the dis-tance of an Olympic-level triathlon.
Children and teens will compete in short-er courses.
Geoff Goodman, race director for the event, said the racing will start at 8:25 a.m. for the six- and seven-year-old participants.
Once they have completed their course, around 9 a.m., the competitions will begin for older chil-dren, with start times 10 minutes apart.
For adults, the men’s start time is 10:05 and the women’s start time is 10:10.
Goodman said the flat lakeshore course
is popular among beginning triathletes.
“Its not intimidat-ing for the first-time participant,” he said. “It’s a good introduc-tion if you’re a first-time triathlete.”
For those who have dreams of doing an Ironman-length course, he said the Sprint is a good way to build up to longer distances.
Participation has been strong in the Sprint Triathlon.
Last year, there were 360 participants, the biggest turnout to date.
This year, Good-man anticipates more will take part.
The event has been growing among chil-dren and teens.
In 2005, there were around 50 children registered. So far this year, there are 175 in the youth categories,
with more registra-tions still coming in.
“If we could get 200 kids, it would be phenomenal,” Good-man said.
For those who do not feel comfortable with all three parts of the triathlon, teams are also welcome to compete.
In 2010, when teams were first allowed, two teams were registered. Last year, there were three and so far this year, eight teams have been registered.
The race is being held in partnership with Dirty Laundry Vineyard and with BCMI as a title spon-sor.
Those interested in participating should visit orcaswimclub.net/sprint.html for more information and a link to online registration.
The Summerland Steam will be on the ice today in their first game of the season.
The game, against the Kelowna Chiefs, begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Summerland Arena.
Gregg Wilson, general manager of the team, said he is optimistic about the year ahead for the team.
The team’s hockey camp, held this week, drew 34 play-ers vying for spots on the team. The majority of players on the team will come from Summerland and Penticton.
Tim Keilty, president of the
hockey club, said the team’s mission is to feature as many players as possible.
Wilson said the local ele-ment of the team will help minor hockey in the com-munity.
“We’re trying to give the kids in minor hockey some-thing to look up to, something to strive for,” he said.
As the team begins its second season, Wilson said the team will perform well.
“We have so many returning players,” he said. “Our expectations are very high.”
He added that the team improved throughout the season last year and finished with many close games.
In addition to the regularly scheduled games, two events are planned for September. On Sept. 8 from 1 to 3 p.m., the Steam players will participate in a family skate at the Sum-merland Arena. Admission is by donation to the food bank. On Sept. 9, the Steam will host a mini-tournament with teams from Osoyoos, Pentic-ton and Kelowna attending. The games will run from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Senior athletes receive medalsTwo golds, two bronzes at Senior Games in Burnaby
Two Summerland athletes were in the medals at the B.C. Senior Games in Bur-naby last week.
Robert King earned two gold medals for his performance in swimming events in the men’s 85 to 89 age category.
He took first place in the 25-metre backstroke and the 25-metre butterfly.
John Nicolson won two bronze medals in
track and field in the men’s 70 to 79 cat-egory. His third-place wins were in hammer throw and weight throw.
King’s and Nicol-son’s medals were among 77 earned by athletes from Zone 5, Okanagan-Similka-meen, including 32 golds, 24 silvers and 21 bronzes.
A recognition ban-quet for Zone 5 ath-letes is tentatively set for Peachland Sept. 15.
The annual meeting for Zone 5 is Oct. 18. The Royal Canadian
Legion on Rosedale Avenue in Summer-land is the location for the Zone 5 meet-ings the third Thurs-day of each month at 10 a.m. Volunteers are welcome.
The 2013 B.C. Sen-ior Games will be in Kamloops Aug. 20 to 24. Sports and games include archery, badminton, bocce, bridge, car-pet bowling, crib-bage, cycling, darts, dragon boat racing, five pin bowling, floor curling, golf, horseshoes, ice curning, ice hockey, lawn bowling, one-act plays, pickleball, slo-pitch, snooker, soccer, swimming, table tennis, tennis, track and field, and whist.

The Okanagan is well known as a haven for triathletes, and rightly so.
Having moved here from Ontario, I know there is so much to enjoy in our surroundings.
With the clean, warm lakes and pic-turesque roads and trails for biking and running, athletes who visit the area devour all it has to offer.
With winters being mild in comparison to most other prov-inces, athletes can run all year round out-side without battling -30 temperatures or months of rain on end like some cities to the east and west of us.
The Subaru Iron-man Canada has just passed, with another successful year (30th anniversary and sadly the last as Iron-man).
I watched the start of the swim for the first time, and the 2,800 competitors racing into the water was a sight to be seen.
Seeing the range of athletes all deter-
mined to complete the 3.8-kilometre swim, 180-km bike and 42.2-km run is always inspiring.
The variance in age and athletic ability truly shows the love of the sport and the power of the mind.
The energy of the event is contagious and it is no wonder that many people continue to register and new participants get enthralled with a new life experience that awaits them with a year commitment to train.
This Sunday, Sept. 2, the Summerland ORCA Swim Team will host its own triathlon: The Sum-merland Sprint Tri-athlon and Kids of Steel event at Peach Orchard Beach.
With more than 300 participants last year, the good news of this local triathlon is spreading. It is a nice family atmos-phere, where chil-dren as young as six will be competing in a shortened version of a triathlon.
The natural beauty at the location of
Peach Orchard Park is an asset. There are many out of town, out of province and out of country competi-tors who will enjoy our lake and views.
It’s great that chil-dren are learning to get excited about enjoying a healthy lifestyle at a young age.
It is fun to get in the water and have the skills to swim and be water safe and enjoy the roads for biking and run-ning, which is such a natural aspect of our community.
The ORCA Swim Team is proud to have Best Canadian Motor Inns come on board to sponsor the Kids of Steel Triathlon and
Dirty Laundry Vine-yards to sponsor the Adult Sprint Triath-lon. This triathlon is the major fundraiser for the ORCA swim team and it is run completely by vol-unteers, friends and family of the Sum-merland ORCA swim team. It is an enor-mous undertaking and has proved well worth its efforts in supporting the ORCA swim club.
Summerland Sprint and Kids of Steel Tri-athlon details:
Youth Races begin at 8:30 a.m.
Adult Races start at 10:05 a.m. for the men and 10:0 a.m. for women.
Awards start at 1 p.m.
Location: Peach Orchard Park, Sum-merland
I had my two- and four-year-old boys watch the event last year, and of course when they got home, they ran around the yard for hours and asked to go for bike rides all through the fall into the winter.
If you get a chance to get out in the mor-
ning on Sunday, Sept. 2 to watch the triath-lon, be aware that you and your children may suddenly get the desire to get more
active and swim, bike and run a little more.
