SUMMERLAND REVIEWTHE VOICE OF OUR COMMUNITY SINCE 1908 WWW.SUMMERLANDREVIEW.COM

Need for speedGiant’s Head Mountain was the scene of an international gathering last weekend as long board riders like Jeff Hooper of Toronto gathered on the mountain for three days of fun and competition at the Giant’s Head Freeride.

Revisions made to planJohn Arendt

Summerland’s Urban Growth Area will be back before the public later this month.

At the municipal coun-cil meeting on June 22, council voted to rescind the second reading of the bylaw and replace it with an amended version.

The biggest change to the amendment is in the area formerly designated for the Summerland Hills development.

A portion of the land in the Summerland Hills area will be designated as agricultural and a smaller portion will be resource

industrial. Most of the land will be designated as open land.

The agricultural land in the amended growth plan generated the great-est amount of discussion among council mem-bers, with some asking why the land designated as agricultural could not be zoned as open land instead.

The land in question is not within the Agricul-tural Land Reserve, said Mayor Peter Waterman.

Ian McIntosh, director of development services for the municipality, said the agricultural designa-

tion met the legal require-ments.

Work on Summerland’s Urban Growth Strategy began in February, 2013, under the direction of the council of the day.

A report was presented to council in December, 2013 and municipal staff prepared an amendment to the Official Commun-ity Plan, based on that report.

The growth plan received considerable criticism and calls to pre-serve Summerland’s agri-cultural land.

As a result, the bound-aries of the Urban Growth

Area were revised.Lands within the Agri-

cultural Land Reserve were removed from the proposed area and a smaller portion of Vic-toria Road South was also removed. The Deer Ridge neighbourhood was kept in the growth area.

The revision reduces the growth area by rough-ly 50 per cent, McIntosh said in a report to council.

The Summerland Hills Golf Resort Neighbour-hood Plan was removed and replaced with a com-bination of open land, agriculture and resource industrial.

Waterman said the amendments to the growth plan will bring some certainty to the area. He said a lack of certainty at present is affecting the development community,

Coun. Erin Carlson urged the public to attend the upcoming hearing.

Coun. Toni Boot said the agricultural designa-tion is not the same as a zoning change.

The second reading of the amended bylaw was carried with Coun. Erin Carlson opposed.

The bylaw will go to a public hearing on Mon-day, July 27.

Last Friday mor-ning I had the oppor-tunity to attend an annual rite of passage in our community – the Summerland Sec-ondary School gradu-ation of the Class of 2015.

Grad provides an impressive snapshot of Summerland every June when more than 1,000 people from toddlers to grand-parents gather at the arena to cheer on the youth of our community as they transition to an adult world.

As the 95 gradu-ates came forward to accept their diplomas from Principal Chris Vanbergeyk, the audi-ence learned some-thing about each stu-dent. We were told what they enjoyed about high school, who had inspired them and where they are going in the next

phase of life. Future careers mentioned were engineer, law-yer, animator, electri-cian, welder, veterin-arian, nurse, foreign aid worker, tattoo artist, early education specialist, historian, winery owner, air conditioning, busi-ness administration, culinary arts, and scholar, as well as many others.

Students expressed their appreciation to their families but just

as often they men-tioned their teachers. We have a dedicated and talented teaching group at SSS (as well as at our elementary and middle schools) and this means a great deal to all our local students. It’s also important when we are promoting our community as a great place to live. School District 67 Board Chair, Linda Van Alphen, mentioned that SSS has all the advantages of a pri-vate school educa-tion within the public system offering small classes and individ-ualized attention.

Once diplomas were handed out, it was time for bursar-ies and scholarships. Summerland is often recognized in the val-ley as being the com-munity who gives the most per graduate of any school. This year

was no exception with awards totaling approx. $86,000 being given out – some for academic excellence and others based on community participa-tion, athletic achieve-ment or future goals. Graduates will find those funds helpful as they pursue the next chapter in their lives.

The graduates, families and friends, teachers, adminis-trators, dignitaries, award presenters and community members who were present today are a represen-tation of what makes Summerland a won-derful place to grow up in and to live. The town will be in good hands with these amazing young people leading us in the future.

We always appre-ciate your feedback. Please contact me at cpetkau@summerland-chamber.com or our chamber president, Kelly Marshall, at president@summer-landchamber.com.

Premier Christy Clark says an independent inquiry into the firing of eight health min-istry contractors may be too long and costly, but the public deserves answers in the long-running controversy “in a very timely and cost-effective way.”

The B.C. Liberal government has been on the defensive since the abrupt dismissal in 2012 of university researchers assess-ing drugs for eligibility under the province’s Pharmacare program. One fired contractor committed suicide, another is suing the government for wrongful dismissal and the remainder have been paid settlements and reinstated.

An independent review by labour lawyer Marcia McNeil last year failed to determine who made key decisions and why. McNeil said restricted terms of her review and a lack of documents showing the sequence of decisions left her unable to determine account-ability.

The health ministry initially said a confidential database of B.C. patients who had taken various drugs had been mis-used, and some of the research-ers appeared to have conflicts of interest.

After Clark downplayed the suggestion of a public inquiry in Vancouver this week, NDP leader John Horgan said her actions indicate the govern-ment has something to hide.

“We need to be able to com-pel testimony,” Horgan said. “We need to ensure that we’re protecting those public ser-vants who might have some-thing to say about this pro-cess.”

The affected employees released an open letter to Health Minister Terry Lake this

week, calling for an inquiry that covers the legal costs of everyone affected. They said the program to assess the safety and effectiveness of pre-scription drugs has saved B.C. more than $100 million over the past 20 years.

Horgan said the opposition will continue its campaign for answers when the B.C. legisla-ture convenes July 13 to con-sider a development agree-ment for a liquefied natural gas export facility at Prince Rupert.

Firing Your ClientSometimes in a Lawyer's career he or she is faced with the rare decision to � re a client. Yes, you read that right, not the client changing counsel but the Lawyer � ring a client. In a recent situation on the Prairies, 37 Regina lawyers refused to act for a person because his reputation as a very bad client had preceded him. In that case the person had numerous Lawyers in the past and had gain a reputation as being completely uncontrollable.There are many reasons why a Lawyer may consider this drastic step. Normally, it involves lack of payment of the Lawyer's bill. Lawyer's, just like everyone else have the right to be paid for their services and can refuse to act when they are not paid on a timely basis. Occasionally though the reason for refusing to act stems directly from the client's attitude or conduct. The Law Society of B.C. has set up rules on how Lawyers disengage themselves from clients when involved in litigation. Timing is very important and preventative measures are in place to ensure that no party is unduly prejudiced by the withdrawal.

The new Summerland library branch is scheduled to open in August this year as crews continue to work on the construction of the facility.

Marla O’Brien, public relations and fundraising manager with the Okanagan Regional Library, said the work on the building is pro-

gressing on schedule.Once the building is completed,

the library will move its materi-als from the existing building on Wharton Street to the new building.

The new building has received support from the Friends of the Summerland Library as well as sup-port through individual bequests.

The new branch, on Main Street, has a size of 743 square metres,

more than twice the size of the existing library branch.

The present branch is 316 square metres. It was built in 1981 and the need for a larger facility has been discussed for many years.

The Okanagan Regional Library is paying the costs of the new library. The budget for the building was set at $3.2 million, including land.

Library on schedule for August

Celtic Ceilidh to wrap up Scottish Festival

“One of the highlights of the upcoming Pentic-ton Scottish Festi-val on July 4 will be the Celtic Cei-lidh, a party in the park,” said Brian Johnston, president of the Penticton Scottish Festival Society.

“First the Mari-time sounds of Cod Gone Wild give traditional Celtic music a modern edge. Then the ever popular Kinship will take the stage.

They were a big hit with our crowd last year, so we had to bring them back,” said Johnston. “And the best part is that there is no additional charge to attend the Cei-lidh (or party).

The concert is included in the gate fee for the festival, $10 per person or $20 per family.

It all takes place in King’s Park during the second annual Penticton Scottish Festival.

Landfill contract awardedJohn Arendt

A contractor has been selected to oper-ate the Summerland landfill for the next four years.

Cantex-Okanagan Construction Ltd. was awarded the contract at the June 22 municipal council meeting.

The cost of the ser-vice is $193,582 for the first year, rising to $230,728 in the fourth year of the contract.

This amount is sig-nificantly higher than the previous landfill contract.

To accommodate anticipated increases to the costs of landfill services, the budget was increased from $102,352 to $122,822, a report to coun-cil from director of engineering and pub-lic works Don Dar-ling and chief admin-istrative officer Linda Tynan states.

Even with the

additional funds, the shortfall is $70,760 in the first year of the new contract.

To cover this short-fall, a portion of the funds received from Multi Material B.C. will be put towards landfill costs.

MMBC is expected to pay the municipal-ity $180,000 for recyc-ling services this year.

Municipal staff will also complete a review of the landfill operations and the

fees and charges.A resolution to

award the contract

to Cantex received unanimous council approval.

The municipality has received almost $300,000 from the province in the form of traffic fine revenue and a Small Community grant.

The traffic fine revenue amount is $40,736 while the Small Community grant is $249,154.

“These grants allow local govern-ments to focus on the public safety projects that are most important to them,” Penticton MLA Dan Ashton said. “They also reflect one of our government’s top priorities — work-ing toward safer communities.”

Penticton and Peachland also received traffic fine revenue fund-

ing. Peachland was also given a Small Community grant, while the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen received a Regional District grant.

These grants are the second of two annual payments. The first was made in March.

Since 2009, the Small Community, Regional District and Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing grants have pro-vided more than $792 million in funding across the province.

The latest payments are almost $75.2 million, with $1,069,840 distrib-uted to communities in the region.

Construction for Summerland’s new library is proceeding, and is expected to be complete in time for an August opening. John Arendt Summerland

VICTORIA – The man behind “Harp-erPAC” says it lived and died in a few days to make a point about third-party advertising in Can-adian politics.

When it launched, I wondered why he would choose such a deliberately provoca-tive name. No, not “Harper,” but the acronym for “Political Action Committee,” which has come to symbolize the finan-cial excesses of U.S. politics.

HarperPAC ran one radio ad, accus-ing Liberal leader Justin Trudeau of blaming voters for his declining popularity, and suggesting that Trudeau’s “months of mistakes” are a likeli-er cause. No kidding.

H a r p e r P A C spokesman Stephen Taylor, who like Ste-phen Harper before him has worked for the National Citizens’ Coalition, announced the end of the project last week.

“We have contrib-uted to a new discus-sion about political financing in a fixed

election era that is critical to our dem-ocracy,” Taylor said. “We note that this dis-cussion only occurred once a right-wing analog of the left’s PAC-style efforts emerged on the scene.”

Indeed, it was when HarperPAC emerged that mut-tering began about “dark money” in Can-adian politics. Unifor, Anti-Conservative front LeadNow and the many faces of the Tides Foundation somehow failed to ignite much discus-sion in the Canadian media.

Taylor launched the bid in response to the emergence of

“Engage Canada,” a union-financed action committee that he said was part of a broader effort by the left to oust the Conserva-tives. Engage Canada portrays itself as a brave alternative to shadowy right-wing groups such as Work-ing Canadians, which has also run pro-Con-servative ads.

Engage Canada’s latest ad plays on the union movement’s cherished “inequal-ity” theme, select-ing statistics to por-tray the wealthy as making out far bet-ter than the rest of us in Harper’s Can-ada. (The notion that “inequality” can and should be fixed by ever-higher taxes on “the rich” staggers on, zombie-like, as if capitalism was the cause of poverty.)

Two recent developments have led to all this. Sched-uled elections every four years have final-ly taken effect at the federal level, after a series of minority governments. And courts have repeated-

ly struck down efforts to restrict third-party spending in the so-called “pre-cam-paign” period as an unwarranted restric-tion on free speech.

The B.C. Liberal government tried and failed several times to restrict third party spending, largely in response to the mil-lion-dollar tirades of the teachers’ union. Former attorney gen-eral Wally Oppal used to warn about American-style influ-ence by wealthy inter-est groups targeting scheduled elections.

Their strategy was not so much to keep corporate money out of B.C. politics as to keep it flowing through the B.C. Lib-eral Party.

This spring the B.C. Liberal major-ity passed Bill 20, the Election Amendment Act. Not only did this recognize the free-dom of outsiders to weigh in on elections, it also did away with pre-campaign restric-tions on registered political parties and candidates.

NDP MLA Leon-

ard Krog warned that this sets the stage for “some mad Wild West show,” with pol-iticians so desperate to raise money they start looking for the B.C. equivalent of renting out the Lin-coln bedroom in the White House.

The big differ-ence between the pre-campaign ads for this fall’s federal election and the next provincial vote in 2017 is that corpor-ate and union dona-tions to parties and candidates have been eliminated at the fed-eral level. That means more money available for third-party cam-paigns, but it seems to be fairly well dis-tributed between the two sides, the Con-servatives and every-body else.

Here in the Wild West, nothing’s going to change as long as the B.C. Liberals are in the saddle.

YOUR VIEWS

Once, again, it’s graduation season. The focus now is on our newly minted

graduates from Summerland Secondary, but students of all ages — ranging from elementary, middle and high schools to colleges and universities — are closing one chapter in their lives and starting out on a new adventure.

But especially for the graduating Summerland Secondary students, last week’s ceremony is likely the biggest milestone in their young lives, and the moments that got them to this point shouldn’t be discounted. Earning that Dogwood represents years of hard work and dedication to get to this point: the tests, the homework, the projects, the classes, the early start times and the occasional sleepless night.

For some, that next step means entering the workforce, hopefully in a field of their choice.

For others, it is another step along their educational journey; entering col-lege or university. But for all, it’s a time of transition and opportunity.

This milestone is also a memory to treasure for their families. They will have seen their loved one complete the cycle — from kindergarten through junior high and then high school and finally finishing college.

Cameras snapped, parents applauded and valedictorians told students that today is the first day, not only of the rest of their lives, but of their “real” lives.

We congratulate them — and their families — on getting to this day, and wish them all well.

For high school grads, it also marks the start of a summer of celebration, freedom and joy, whether it’s at a dry grad, at an unsanctioned event, or just a group of friends getting together for one of the many summer parties to come.

Just be sure to do so responsibly. Abusing drugs or alcohol, or worse, end-ing up a statistic on the RCMP blotter is no way commemorate those years of hard work.

EDITORIALSummer of freedom

Dear Editor:Regarding your

story in the June 18 Summerland Review, what an interesting story of the Jolly Boys Club and their dedi-cation and involve-ment to contribute and encourage pro-motion of our town of Summerland.

Theirs was a belief that Summerland had much to offer and their projects would indeed pro-

vide opportunity and reasons for tourists to come and enjoy Sum-merland.

I would like to add a bit more history to the story which Mr. McIntosh related regarding the road up Giant’s Head Moun-tain.

Mr. Don Agur, a local businessman and entrepreneur, was contracted to build the road up Giant’s Head Mountain.

Fortunately, Mr. Pat Bruce and his wife Rose and family, who had moved to Summerland in 1953, worked for Mr. Agur.

Pat had many years of experience operating caterpil-lars, building logging roads throughout this area, and this was to be his legacy of road building ability; to construct a road up Giant’s Head Moun-tain.

The mountain was partially walked by both Don and Pat with Don’s confi-dence in Pat’s know-ledge and ability.

The road build-ing up Giant’s Head Mountain was pretty much left to Pat’s dis-cretion as to grade and location.

A legacy has indeed been left by this outstanding cat-skinner and his abil-ities to give us today

a safe and travel worthy road to access the beautiful views that we, the citizens of Summerland and tourists alike, can enjoy forever.

Thank you, Mr. Pat Bruce and thank you, Mr. Al McIntosh for sharing your story and bringing to light the dedication of Summerlanders of the past.

Where is everybody?This summer Sunoka Beach is going to be a lot busier than it was when this photo was taken. So will the highway. We’re not sure of the date on this one, but the dirt road, lack of telephone poles, and one vintage vehicle (barely visible with a magnifying glass) would suggest the 1920s. With this summer’s temperatures reaching record highs Sunoka will definitely not resemble this empty stretch of sand and water as the crowds hit the beaches in search of the cool, refreshing waters of Okanagan Lake.

 Dear Editor:  The man who wants to be Prime

Minister of Canada is making a lot of blunders in public. 

He says that his child care plan will pay out one million $15 per day in child care spaces over 10 years yet in reality if he would review his notes, that NDP child care plan is over eight years. 

He says that the present corpora-tion   tax rate is between 12 and 13 per cent, yet in reality it is at 15 per cent. 

He proposes to raise the rate in the range of 18 to 19 per cent.

It is amazing of how a lot of Can-adian taxpayers are wanting change and thinking of Thomas Mulcair to be that change without ever thinking of the consequences of that thought. 

Many taxpayers work for corpora-tions and if Thomas Mulcair is suc-cessful at becoming Prime Minister, many taxpayers will be heading to the unemployment office to make a claim for employment insurance. 

The reason for this is that if the corporation tax goes up, the corpora-tion has to find other means to cover for this increase. That would mean a immediate decrease in labour costs

which equates to a layoff slip.  Voting for a change to put your-

selves out of work. You call that smart thinking? 

Once laid off, is Thomas Mul-cair going to find you another job?  Remember there are always two sides to the ledger. 

Think before marking your voting ballot.

Remember there is no such thing as a perfect world which is why the facts and reality is that you cannot have your cake and eat it too.

Q I had some d e n t a l work done

recently and my teeth are still sensitive is that normal? How long before everything feels normal again?

A It is not uncommon for your teeth to be sensitive following

dental work. The fact is that your teeth were “traumatized” during the treatment and require some time to heal. The good news is that 89% of teeth that are treated will eventually settle down. This can take anywhere from 2-90 days. Most patients are sensitive for about 2 weeks, but it is usually a mild sensitivity. I recommend chewing softer foods or avoiding chewing on your sensitive teeth for at least a few days. Teeth are often more sensitive to cold, so the use a straw will help a refreshing liquid bypass your teeth. In some cases, the sensitivity continues because the fillings do not fit into your bite very well. This can mean a follow-up appointment to fine tune the bite. If you are experiencing severe pain (7/10 or more), are waking up at night, or you are constantly take pain medication, your tooth may need a root canal. Take some Advil and give it a few days to see if the pain is getting better. Most teeth will heal given time. Patience is a virtue!

When I was 8 years old I told my dad I was moving to Can-ada. B.C. to be pre-cise.

That may sound like a strange dream for a child but we were watching foot-age of the Rocky Mountaineer cruising through the Rocky Mountains and that was it, I was hooked.

Fast forward, ahem, 25 years and I made it, not quite to the Rockies but close enough for this Eng-lish girl.

The road to Sum-merland has not

always been smooth, we have had our fair share of stresses and emotional upheav-als but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I am lucky to call this little slice of paradise my home, to be part of a strong community and to be able raise my kids in a safe environment. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been home-sick at times, remin-iscing and pining for the places and fla-vours of my youth. On our last return trip to England however I realised that I didn’t

consider myself Eng-lish any more, I barely recognised streets that I had grown up on. The rosy tinted mem-ories of my childhood were replaced with stark images of a very different place than the one I remember. When I was there I longed for home, for Summerland. The final nail in the coffin of my “Englishness” came last fall when we made the ultimate plunge and became citizens.

Becoming a Can-adian is not an easy process, we had to

really want it and we had to write a test to prove it. During our revision stage, my poor husband, who is not a book nerd,

was forced to endure hours of listening to me recite from book after book. I learned so much about Can-ada, which made me love it even more and it was fun grilling our Canadian friends to see how much they really knew about where they were born.

My favourite books ended up being aimed at children but they were fascinating. Our top picks included “Only in Canada” by Vivien Bowers, “The Big Book of Canada” by Christopher Moore and “Famous Dead

Canadians” by Joanne Stanbridge.

I have to admit I haven’t embraced all things Canadian, I don’t drink coffee, I don’t care for dough-nuts and the smell of peanut butter makes me nauseous! One of the first things I did when we arrived over 10 years ago was to get a library card. A dedicated book nerd, I couldn’t imagine not having access to thousands of books any time I wanted them. Almost at once I realised something else Canadian that

was an acquired taste, Canadian authors. After sampling a few I realised that the quirkiness and indi-viduality I relished in the people surround-ing me very defin-itely translated onto the page, to be hon-est I found it all a bit weird! I may never be a dedicated Margaret Atwood fan or Doug-las Coupland groupie but I now appreci-ate the uniqueness of these writers who encapsulate the won-derful diversity that makes Canada what it is.

Dear Editor:Recently there has

been much written to the effect that fossil fuel companies are the cause of climate change. I want to point out that this is not true.

Climate change is caused by every per-son who drives a car, flies in an airplane or uses electricity (much

of which is produced by burning fossil fuels).

Fossil fuel com-panies do, however, satisfy our demand for their products. If we didn’t use their products, fossil fuel companies would be out of business very quickly.

However, I realize that not using their

products would have a devastating impact on our economy and standard of living, and as a result, in practical terms, eliminating our dependence of fossil fuels would have to be phased in over a number of years.

My main point is, fossil fuel companies do not cause climate change, although they are an easy target.

The real cause of climate change is people living on this planet.

As Caesar said to Brutus over 2000 years ago, “The prob-lem dear Brutus is not in the stars, but in ourselves that we are underlings.”

Dear Editor: With the 33rd annual Action Festival, Crit-

teraid is immensely proud to be a part of the Action Festival Parade with the Mutt Strut.

It is an opportunity that allows us to raise some money for the animals in our care.

The Mutt Strut also showcases the human-ity of individuals and affords us the chance to walk the walk with our best friends. And believe me, the dogs love being able to parade watchers.

This baseball tournament literally brings in hundreds of people to our town and we are excited to be able to watch these high calibre games and cheer on our favourite teams.

We just couldn’t do any of this without

the support of the strutters who take those forms out to all their family, friends and col-leagues. Those pledges see to it that we get veterinary bills paid and good quality food purchased for the animals in our care.

This is our first year of taking over this event and we are so thrilled with the posi-tive feedback we’ve been getting. Thank you to all the pledgers and supporters.

Thank you to the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 22 for their huge donation to strutter Lorraine Harris. And particular thanks to all the Action Festival volunteers and our resili-ent and delegated Critteraid volunteers.

Dear Editor:I hope everyone was dis-

gusted as I was when read-ing a recent letter from Har-vey Quamme regarding the treatment of research scien-tists at the Pacific Agriculture Research Centre in Summer-land.

To require written permis-sion to talk to the public or attend meetings? What non-

sense.Our money supports PARC

and all the scientists. Our eco-nomic health is aided by their work. There was and should be a free flow of information to the public.

Even worse, the muzzling of scientists on the federal payroll is now common prac-tice. Valuable information is being kept private, available

perhaps through Freedom of Information queries or from other countries.

It’s absurd. It’s demean-ing. It’s anti-progress and undemocratic.

Does MP Dan Albas know the reason for this stupid gov-ernment policy?

Government scientists shouldn’t be muzzled

Dear Editor: The contention that the Canadian

Senate’s sense of entitlement is out of control is an understatement.

The senate has a simple mandate, to give sober second thought to any legislation that is considered by the government of the day.

Without the authority to intro-duce, amend, rescind, adopt or even stop legislation from becom-ing law, the senate is almost irrel-evant and that is probably why the senate was neutered before it was

adopted.The recent Supreme Court ruling

that we cannot reform the senate is pure nonsense.

The Canadian constitution is not a constitution adopted by the people by means of a binding national referendum, it is in fact nothing more and nothing less than another act of the federal Parlia-ment that can be amended by the government of the day.

Summerland Review Thursday, July 2, 2015 L i f e s t y L e www.summerlandreview.com 7

Special to the Review

The passion of a group dedicated to promoting the Sum-merland Rodeo Grounds more than makes up for their lack of numbers.

“We are literally a handful of people out there, sweating away,” said Gwen Shaw, president of the Summerland Rodeo Grounds Equine Development Com-mittee (SRGEDC).

“We just love the rodeo grounds.”

The SRGEDC, a registered charity, is made up of a very small group of volun-teers. While their pas-sion for horses unites them, they are motiv-ated by their love for Summerland and the rodeo grounds. Their mission is to promote, improve and maintain the grounds and help make it a viable enter-prise for the city.

“ S u m m e r l a n d Rodeo Grounds is an excellent place, not only for the equine community, but just for the community in general to have,” said Sheral Marten, the committee’s secretary.

“We wanted our kids to have some-thing to do,” explained Karen Grosch, one of the directors. “It’s a safe rewarding thing

to do and even to have the kids involved in volunteering was nice, so they learn early the rewards of volunteer-ing.”

Since its beginning in 2007, SRGEDC have shown their commit-ment to the Rodeo grounds through successful fundrais-ing events, including the horse shows that they host. They have worked with various community groups to partner in develop-ment and in 2013 they built new stalls at the grounds.

Even though dubbed “Rodeo grounds” it turns out that the ground in the arena is not even adequate or suitable for such events as a rodeo or barrel racing.

“It’s too hard on the horse’s feet and legs,” said Grosch.

Shaw further explained that to have horses run on the existing ground, puts the horses’ health at risk and could crip-ple them. As a result many groups have no interest in using the Summerland Rodeo grounds. It is for this reason that the SRGEDC has been working hand in hand with the city, to joint-ly fund the redoing of the footings in the main arena. SRGEDC is currently doing fur-ther research into the

best sand to use.“Some sand will get

compacted and hard, other sand will keep soft,” Shaw explained. “We’re trying to find that happy medium that will please both the western riders and the English riders.”

The footings improvement project and the installation of new kitchen equip-ment, that SRGEDC has already purchased and some landscaping behind the clubhouse, are all scheduled to be done over the next year.

“Our long term goal is to have a covered arena,” said Shaw. “It would open up year-long riding. Then we’d get the bookings! Can you imagine what that would bring to Sum-merland financially?”

“In the winter you’d be surprised at how many people can’t ride,” said Grosch. “If you had a cover so the ground was not fro-zen or slippery and no snow or ice … people would pay a fee to go riding there.”

The possibility of using the arena for fairs or markets would also open up, so Shaw dreams about get-ting one or two good investors involved to help achieve this goal.

The SRGEDC is always in need of more volunteers.

“You don’t need to

know anything about a horse to volunteer,” said Marten. “We need volunteers who know how to build things, prepare food, run the concessions, how to landscape…tons of stuff!”

In the meantime this small band of volunteers plans on continuing to get the word out about the Rodeo grounds.

“We’re forever handing out pamph-lets…and that comes out of our own budget,” said Gro-sch. “In the long run it benefits the city of Summerland, the city financially and the community because they have a place to go.”

The Rodeo grounds has also been used for the Blue Grass festi-val, sporting events and private functions such as weddings and family reunions.

“Absolutely every-thing we do, is to benefit the grounds, which in turn gener-ates more income for them (the city)”, con-cluded Shaw.

If you would like to contribute to the fund-raising efforts of this dedicated group, plan on attending their upcoming fundrais-er, The Summerland Stomp. This country and western dance will feature a live band, a saloon served

by the Kinsmen and a 50/50 draw. It will be held at the Rodeo grounds on Satur-

day, July 11 at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the Country Cor-ner and at Sweetgrass

in Kaleden. For more information contact the Red Barn Ranch at 250-494-8198.

Members of the SRGEDC took part in the Action Festival parade earlier this year. including director Jessica McDiarmid, vice-president John Gardner and director Karen Grosch. Carrying the banner are president Gwen Shaw and secretary Sheral Marten. Also riding along with the group is Kennedy Smith, being led by her dad, Derrick Smith.

Playful children are happier, better adjusted, more co-operative, and more popular with their peers than those who play less. ‘Children play longer when a wide variety of toys is available. Playful children are more physically active, creative, humorous, imaginative, emotionally expressive, curious and communicative’. -- Jerome Singer. 1994. Imaginative play and adaptive development.”Let’s think of school like a gym. In a gym, we train our bodies to do certain tasks, like pull-ups, so that later on, if we’re out rock climbing, we’ll have developed the strength to do it well.Now that school’s out for a couple of months (or the gym is closed, so to speak) it’s important to keep kids’ minds active through play. Television or the Internet are easy ways to keep someone entertained for a short time but all the imagining is done already and every show comes to and end. Play, on the other hand, is interactive, imaginative, healthy and self sustaining.Pharmasave Summerland is pleased to offer an enormous variety of quality Melissa and Doug toys, puzzles, crafts, art supplies and activity pads to help keep kids occupied while exercising their minds and stretching their mental and physical muscles.Bring this article in to Pharmasave Summerland and receive 30% off any Melissa and Doug product*.Through play, kids are better prepared to learn all the new things they’ll be presented with in school this fall and they just might have some fun this summer too.

On Friday, June 12, the 2015 hearts@school health fair ran in its 13th year.

Held at the Pen-ticton Trade and Convention Centre, Grade 6 students participated in a day of learning while partaking in various events, dedicated to educating them on the importance of healthy living.

A p p r o x i m a t e l y 430 students and many leadership students from Sum-

merland Second-ary School were involved.

Students attended various booths, each with its individual message: Sun Sense (sun safety), Get Movin’ (exercise), Butt Out (tobacco-prevention), Chill ( s t r e s s - m a n a g e -ment), Ready…Set…Goals (goal-setting) and Eat Right (healthy food choices). Trivia Games, the other educational station,

was a game show style format, quiz-zing the students on the information they had learned earlier in the day.

These stations were led by volun-teers and students from the commun-ities of Summerland and Penticton, as well as day camp leaders from the City of Pen-ticton.

The students also attended three physical activity sta-tions of their choice

including tae kwon do (Valleywide Tae Kwon Do), judo (Pen-ticton Judo Club), jujitsu (GOES Jiu Jitsu), golf (Summer-land Golf and Coun-try Club), jazz dance, musical theatre, soc-cer and speedminton (led by leadership students, and yoga (Tammy Semple, Lotus Buds Kids Yoga).

Also offered were belly dancing (Get Bent), zumba (Just Zumba Fitness),

boot camp (Oranj Fitness), dryland training (KISU Swim Club) and first aid (St. John’s  Ambu-lance).

Many of these busi-nesses are very dedi-cated and continue to volunteer year after year.

Some have been involved since 2003.

Hearts@school ori-ginated in 2003 by nurse-educator Carol Stathers and the Pen-

ticton Community Centre’s Bob Pope.

This year, the majority of the plan-ning was done by UBC Okanagan stu-dent Melissa Stathers who has been involved for many years.

The event began with the goal of teaching students the importance of a healthy lifestyle and has continued through the years

to introduce ways in which these indi-viduals can be active within their com-munities.

It also provides an opportunity to par-ticipate in activities they may not have had a chance to do so in the past.

The event also received support from the Penticton Lions Club and the Summerland Kiwan-is Club.

FOR BREAKING NEWS 24/7WWW.SUMMERLANDREVIEW.COM

Art openingMembers of the Rip Off Artists showed some of their work at the Summerland Art Gallery on Thursday evening. The Oliver and area artists have been working together since 2007, creating works based on famous works of art. From left are JoAnn Turner, Terry Irvine, Marion Trimble, Enid Baker and Russell Work.

Wednesdays on the Water is back.

In 2014, the Sum-merland Community Arts Council started a new community pro-ject to support local musicians in the area. Weekends on the Water, or W.O.W., is a music concert series held Wednesday nights at Spirit Square, Peach Orchard Beach from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

This year W.O.W. will start on the night of July 8 and run every Wednesday until August 26. This event is free to the public (donations are welcome) and is spon-sored by many Sum-merland businesses as each band is paid an honorarium for their time and talent. We have a variety of genres among our local talent including nights of jazz, bluegrass, folk,

country, rock ‘n’ roll just to name a few. Check out our website or drop by the Arts Centre to find a list of this summer’s featured performing artists.

Our opening night on July 8 will fea-ture the Kettle Valley Brakemen. For those who’ve never seen one of their concerts, the Kettle Valley Brake-men are heritage enter-tainers and what they

do is unique. A Brake-men show is a series of brief stories and original songs about B.C.’s colourful steam rail history. The songs either complete or complement the stor-ies. Each performance finishes with a couple of singalong numbers so audiences get a slice of B.C. rail history, a concert of folk/blue-grass music and the chance to participate.

With tributes to the official railway doctor on the KVR and belov-ed characters like con-ductor Perley McPher-son, our audiences will get KVR history set to a toe-tappin’ folk-bluegrass beat. We encourage families to bring picnics, lawn chairs and blankets down to the beach to enjoy an evening of music. There is beach access, a playground

and waterpark for small children, soc-cer/Frisbee fields and a volleyball court as well! If you or your business would like to sponsor an evening of music contact Car-men at 250-494-4494 or email sap@sum-merlandarts.com for more information.

Art Walk 2015: Calling all artists and downtown busi-nesses. The Summer-land Community Arts Council will once again be running their annual Art Walk during the month of August. The Art Walk is designed to promote tourism, business and cultural awareness in Sum-merland. All inter-ested participants are asked to contact Car-men at the Arts Cen-tre for more informa-tion at 250-494-4494.

Summerland Review Thursday, July 2, 2015 c o m m u n i t y www.summerlandreview.com 15

John ArendtIt was a time to

reflect on high school and look ahead to the future as 95 gradu-ating students from Summerland Second-ary School received their diplomas on Friday.

The graduation ceremony was held at the Summerland Arena.

Trustee Linda Van Alphen said the graduates have received a good edu-cation at the high school.

“This high school provides an atmos-phere that is as close as you can get to a private school setting in a public school,” she said.

Tama Corday, a teacher at the high school and an alum-nus of Summerland Secondary School, enccouraged the graduating students to believe in them-selves as they move forward.

“The light inside of you is more accur-ate than any Google

Map. To succeed, you must believe in yourselves,” she said. “You are ready. Go and change the world. It’s yours to make beautiful.”

Va l e d i c t o r i a n s Hanna Wright and Abishek Lekhi echoed Corday’s message.

“The world is now our playground,” Lekhi said.

“The life that we live is going to be ours — and ours alone,” Wright added.

In addition to

receiving their dip-lomas, students also received bursaries and scholarships from community organizations and foundations.

Chris VanBer-geyk, principal at the school, said these awards totalled more than $80,000.

Others were also presented with offers of university and college scholar-ships, covering some or all of the costs of attending education-al institutions.

Summerland Secondary School’s 2015 graduating class celebrate the closing of ceremonies at Summerland Arena on June 26 with the traditional tossing of their mortarboards into the air. Tama Corday, below right, a Summerland Secondary teacher and alumnus, delivered an inspirational address to the students.

Organizers are call-ing the event the most exciting and adrenaline pumping action you’ll see in the Okanagan this summer.

“Although we are calling it ‘Violence of the Jams’, roller derby is a family friendly event,” said organizers in a press release.

Children 12 and under get in free and adult tickets cost $10 in advance or $12 at the door. 

“Your night will be complete with food from Summerland’s own Yaki’s pizza, a Bad Tattoo refreshment gar-den, and lots of Pen-ticton Pistoleras swag so you can continue to show your support after the dust settles,” reads the release.

Proceeds from the event will go to Agur Lake Resort in support of outdoor exploration for those with disabil-ities.

Tickets can be pur-chased at Beauty Box in Summerland.  First whistle is at 7 p.m. and doors at 6.

Roller Derby returns to Summerland

The need for speedLong board riders came from across North America to take part in three days of downhill competition at the annual Giant’s Head Freeride. Riders included A.J. Nakanelua of Hawaii, right, and, above, Ewan Hadden of West Vancouver, all gathering for some thrills, chills and spills, below, on Summerland’s Mountain.

Summerland Review Thursday, July 2, 2015 L i f e s t y L e www.summerlandreview.com 17

Although it has been reported that the 41st Parliament is now dissolved, technically the house stands adjourned and is set to reconvene in September.

However, as the election writ is expected to be dropped prior it is widely expected that this 41st  Parliament will not sit again.

The end of any legislative session is always a busy time in the scramble to see bills passed from the House of Commons to make it into the senate hopefully to make it through the upper chamber for royal assent.

This was a process I went through with my private member’s bill C-311 on wine importation back in June of 2012 and was

also a process that my colleague MP Michael Chong went through late last week with his private member’s bill on democratic reform.

As many may recall the Reform Act of 2014 is one I have supported in Parlia-ment and referenced in a few previous MP reports. 

It is also a bill that has just received royal assent and is now law.

I would like to thank the many cit-izens who took the time to communicate with me on that par-ticular bill as well as others.

On a similar theme this week I was also pleased to learn that the Province of Nova Scotia has now joined the “Free My Grapes” initiative

and will also now be allowing direct to consumer shipping of B.C. wine to citizens in Nova Scotia and conversely B.C. resi-dents can order some of the excellent wines of Nova Scotia.

It is rewarding that four Canadian prov-inces are now sup-porting the free trade of Canadian wine with potentially more to follow.

On that note I would also like to recognize the B.C. government who continues to work towards the removal of inter-provincial trade barriers in support of our local economies.

Near the conclu-sion of the 41st  Par-liament I had an opportunity to thank the many outgoing p a r l i a m e n t a r i a n s

and House of Com-mons staff who have worked very long hours away from family during the operations of the house over the past four years.

On the same note I would also like to wish a happy retire-ment to Southern Interior Member of Parliament Alex Ata-manenko.

A t a m a n e n k o represented a large and diverse riding and has worked hard over the past nine years in Ottawa.

I know that Ata-manenko’s friendly demeanour and sin-cere advocacy on issues will be warm-ly remembered by many of his constitu-ents. By the numbers the 41st  Parliament was a productive one with the passing of

roughly 117 govern-ment bills, 44 other private bills and 30 motions from private members, all over the past four years.

It has been reported that no other parlia-ment in the past two decades has had as much legislation pass through the House of Commons.

The past four years have also witnessed two different lead-ers of the official opposition due to the untimely passing of former NDP leader Jack Layton as well as two Liberal lead-ers, once an interim leader was replaced with Mr. Trudeau.

This parliament was also described as one of the young-est when first elected and of course also the first with the NDP as the official opposition

party as the Liberals were the third party in the house.

In October of 2014 an armed assailant attacked the House of Common before being killed by secur-ity officers.

This disturbing event was not actual-ly the first of its kind.

In 1966 an assailant blew himself up in a Centre Block bath-room while prepping a bomb.

Overall the 41st Parliament has been through a number of events that has also included some all night sittings, extended hours, fili-busters and of course

exchanges of colour-ful and at times inter-esting language. In roughly four months time Canadians will again head to the polls to elect Can-ada’s 42nd Parlia-ment.

What the compos-ition and structure of that Parliament will be like is up for Can-adians to decide and that is one of the true privileges of living in a democracy.  With the house now adjourned I am avail-able for meetings and welcome your phone calls.

I can be reached via email at  dan.albas@parl.gc.ca  or toll-free at 1-800-665-8711.

TOWGOOD, JIMJames G. Towgood passed away on June 21, 2015 at the Penticton Regional Hospital.Born in Summerland, in 1932, Jim Towgood was raised with his two brothers, Art and Rob (predeceased), on his family’s orchard in Trout Creek. He lived in his own wonderland of mountain trails, river canyons, and hot sandy beaches.  As a youngster, one of his proudest achievements was that he was taught and trained for the Kelowna regatta by neighbour Eddie Lloyd, he came away with last in the freestyle (age  category 16 yrs) but fi rst in the 50 yd. backstroke in his proper age category (14 yrs ).During his last year in high school, Jim took a job as “Student Assistant” in the plant pathology lab at the Summerland Experimental Farm where he isolated pathogenic fungi from diseased plant specimens sent to the lab from all over the Okanagan.  Another proud achievement was that he played the starring role in the school play “Henry Aldrich”.Jim completed his BA from UBC in 1954. Infl uenced by the highly respected entomologist, Jimmy Marshall,  Jim returned to study that subject at the University of Western Ontario where he completed his MA thesis, “Th e Inheritance of Dieldrin Resistance in Hylemya Antigua”  (the onion maggot). Jim then went on to receive his teaching diploma from UBC,  and taught high school science at  the ‘North Peace Secondary School’  in Fort St John.  Later, under contract to CIDA, Jim taught  the “Cambridge Overseas Certifi cate” program to senior students at Jamhuri High School in Nairobi, Kenya.  During school breaks he climbed Mt Kilimanjaro to the highest point of Kibo (5,895 m or 19,341ft above sea level),  and Mt Kenya to Point Lenana.  Most of his school breaks were spent on the beaches north of Mombassa.  Hunting with an underwater spear gun, Jim brought home quite a few large tilapia and one large barracuda.Returning to Canada,  Jim taught high school in Kingston and was a regular volunteer  worker at CORK, (the ‘Canadian Olympic Sailing Regatta’). He loved the water and considered his perfect adventure a seven day canoe trip down the Winisk River from Point Lake to James Bay. Jim eventually owned his own 36’ cruising sailboat in which he explored eastern Lake Ontario and the upper  St. Lawrence river.  He also loved airplanes and frequented  the Gananoque airport in Ontario where he fi nally became a licensed Solo Soaring Pilot fl ying in a Schweizer SGS 2-33 and (fi nally) the Pilatus B4 acrobatic glider.Quickly aft er retirement Jim moved back to Summerland, his home in the beautiful Okanagan Valley which it seems, was imprinted from birth in his nervous system. He loved the valley and its surroundings and lived his remaining years there with his companion, Karen Anton. Jim leaves to mourn Karen, her two children, Meghan (Brian), (Chilliwack), Dylan - (Summerland), his sister-in-law, Mary - (Tsawwassen), several nieces; Anne-Miguel & Emilia (Mexico), Jean and Elizabeth (Vancouver), Leanne & Lois (Summerland) and one nephew John-Hannah, Avabelle & Frida- (Ucluelet, BC). Jim was loved dearly and will be remembered for his charming nature, his inspiring love of life and learning. A private family gathering will be held to celebrate Jim’s life at a later date.

Giant’s Head - by James G. TowgoodRocky massif,looming large,

visage loft y, facing south, 

since time began, patient, silent; in heat and snowlording o’er the scene below.

Heat and turmoil formed the giantformed its vista to the south,chasm deep and river mouth.

Sage and ponderosa,Balsa root and bunchy grass,

beauty yes, but what is beauty in the end?Th en came early man

and things began.Methought I saw him frown,

but no.Rock of time has no care,Giant’s Head has no hair.
