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

Passengers continue to use Summerland’s scheduled transit service, according to statistics from B.C. Transit.

The statistics show a ridership increase of 33.4 per cent over last year.

The transit service was introduced Oct. 28, 2013 with service in Summer-

land and to Penticton.“Since local transit ser-

vice was introduced in the District of Summer-land last October, resi-dents have shown that it’s a service they appre-ciate,” said Dan Ash-ton, MLA for the riding of Penticton. “A 33 per cent increase in ridership in less than a year is an impressive uptake.”

Meribeth Burton, a corporate representative of B.C. Transit, said the increase in use is signifi-cant.

“This is a system that’s performing like a mature system,” she said, explaining that the amount of use is similar to transit systems which have been in place much longer.

“What we’ve intro-duced is extremely popu-lar,” she said.

On Tuesday morning, B.C. Transit officials had the Transit Future Bus in Summerland during the country market in an attempt to draw feedback from the community.

B.C. Transit officials will later make recom-mendations to the muni-

cipality for possible ser-vice enhancements.

Local governments are responsible for tran-sit routes, schedules and fares.

When the transit ser-vice was introduced last year, the cost to the muni-cipality was estimated at between $48,000 and $54,000 a year.

Longboarding event cancelled due to fire danger

by John Arendt

Because of the extreme fire hazard, there will be less activity than usual on Giant’s Head Mountain.

The Summerland Fire Department has restricted motor vehicle access on the narrow, winding road

in Giant’s Head Moun-tain Park and the annual Giant’s Head Freeride longboarding event has been cancelled.

The road closure took effect July 18 in an effort to limit the risk of person-caused fires in the park.

Fire chief Glenn Noble said the last time Giant’s Head Mountain Park was closed to vehicle traffic was in 2003, during one

of the most devastating fire seasons in the region.

Hikers are still allowed in the park, but Noble said further restrictions could be put in place unless fire hazard condi-tions change.

On Monday, the long-boarding competition was also cancelled.

“This wasn’t an easy decision, but for the safe-ty of the community and

the public, it was the right thing to do,” Noble said.

“I think the risk is too great.”

While the temperatures had cooled over the week-end, the community did not receive much-needed precipitation. As a result, the fire danger rating is unchanged.

“If we don’t get some significant rain in the next little while, I fore-

see closures being more extensive,” he said.

Mayor Janice Per-rino said the longboard-ing event would have brought around 100 par-ticipants to the commun-ity.

She added that the event organizers had been gracious and profes-sional when the decision was made to cancel this year’s event.

POLICE REPORT

Their neighbours were aghast when they scraped away the front lawn and replaced it with sand, peat moss and a pile of big rocks, admits dietician and fibre artist Janet Arm-strong of Vernon.

It was 1992 and no one in the Okanagan had even heard of xeriscape.

Her partner, Lloyd Davies, is the pas-sionate gardner.

“Lawns take time, water and energy, so I wanted to look at alternatives,” he said. “As a science guy, I recognize that we live in a semi-desert, so it

just made sense. Any-way, flowers are pret-tier than lawn.”

A retired Oka-nagan College biol-ogy professor, Davies grew up in Peachland so he knows how nat-urally dry the valley is, and is familiar with the drought-tolerant plants that grow on the hillsides — outside irrigated yards and farms.

Some of those native plants, includ-ing saskatoons, col-umbines, bitterroot, balsamroot, nodding onions, chocolate lil-ies, penstemons and a variety of grasses, have found their way

into various corners of their colourful landscape, surround-ing their renovated 1940s-era home.

Today, that xeri-scaped front yard is a riot of lush growth and colour that they enjoy year-round from their verandah and windows. And, other than a little hand-watering in mid-sum-mer, they never use the hose on it.

It’s a different matter in their vege-table garden, but it has been built care-fully and situated for maximum water retention and sun-light, and much of its moisture comes from rain barrels that catch runoff from the roof at each downspout.

Davies has also built a sturdy com-plex of compost boxes, filling them with yard and kitch-en trimmings, and using the result to fertilize and mulch all his garden beds, conserving natural moisture around each plant in the process.

They planted a d r o u g h t - t o l e r a n t lawn in back that goes dormant in sum-

mer, staying green – but not growing or requiring water.

With 24 per cent of all Okanagan water used on household lawns and gardens, and less water avail-able per person than anywhere in Canada, valley residents are encouraged to reduce outdoor water use this summer.

CANADA VS. THE U.S.A.Do you believe we are becoming more and more like our American cousins? Well, in some respects their culture has been a very big influence on ours. Whether or not that is a good thing is a matter of opinion and for that matter who's opinion it is.From a legal stand point, there are many areas where the American judicial system has encountered situations years ahead of the Canadian experience and as a result has been used as a guide by the Canadian courts in dealing with that situation.One aspect of our two legal systems will never be the same however, and that is the influence that juries play in creating law and awards. In America, a jury has a relatively free reign in handing out awards in civil matters. In Canada there are strict limitations on the amounts a Judge or Jury can award.The reason for this column? An article in the Canadian Lawyer Magazine estimated the value of all monetary awards given by juries in the US in 2002. The number was $283 BILLION dollars. Something to think about.

Janice Perrino

Continued from Page 1Mayor Janice Per-

rino said the muni-cipality will evaluate the service later this year, after the sched-uled bus service has been in operation for a full year.

Depending on the evaluation, service enhancements may be introduced.

The initial service has service to and from Penticton four times a day, Monday to Friday.

The scheduled bus service does not

o p e r a t e on week-ends or on statutory holidays.

If the s e r v i c e expands , the expan-sion could i n c l u d e l o n g e r hours of service, additional routes or

more buses.“We’d all like to

expand,” Perrino said. “There are lots of options for growth we would all like to see.”

While the service has been embraced, she said some have complained that the schedule at present cannot meet their specific needs.

Campfires bannedby John Arendt

Following a campfire ban in the region, the munici-pality has banned campfires within Summerland.

The ban took effect July 16 at noon.

Fire chief Glenn Noble said the open fire ban was imple-mented to reduce the risk of person-caused fires.

Recent hot and dry weather has resulted in an extreme fire danger rating.

While the ban pro-hibits open burning, campers are still able to use gas and pro-pane stoves and bri-quettes.

Campfire bans are implemented almost every year during hot and dry condi-tions, but Noble said the early date for this year’s ban is unusual.

Last year, the fire ban came into effect at the end of July.

There have been numerous small fires in the region so far

this year, including fires in the Okanag-an to the north and south of Summer-land.

“Most of the fires have been started by people,” Noble said.

Kayla Pepper, fire information officer with the Kamloops Fire Centre, said the conditions in the region range from high to extreme.

There have been some significant fire seasons in the Oka-nagan, including the 2003 season when

conditions were extremely dry.

More recently, there have been ser-ious fires in Peach-land and West Kelowna in the last few years.

In the region, crews are battling several fires.

The Smith Creek fire near West Kelow-na is 260 hectares in size and is 60 per cent contained.

The Jura fire, west of Summerland along the Princeton-Summerland road, is

estimated at 460 hec-tares. It is 90 per cent contained.

South of Penticton, the Boot Hill fire is 101 hectares in size and 60 per cent con-tained.

A fire on Apex Mountain is 345 hectares in size and is 75 per cent con-tained.

An evacuation order is in effect for the Smith Creek fire, while evacuation alerts are in effect for Jura and Apex Moun-tain.

Until the region receives a significant change in the fire risk, the campfire bans in Summerland and in the region will continue.

Kayla Pepper, fire information officer with the Kamloops Fire Centre, said there are standards in place before a fire ban is issued.

She said three con-secutive days of high to extreme fire risk, without a change in conditions forecast, will result in a fire ban.

Last week, the Kamloops Fire Cen-tre issued a ban in

the region while the municipality fol-lowed suit with a ban on campfires in Sum-merland.

While the ban is in place, campers can still use stoves which use gas, propane or briquettes. The stoves must meet CSA or ULA approval.

Before the ban is lifted, the fire hazard must drop signifi-cantly.

A sudden heavy rain will not change fire hazard condi-tions as much as a number of days of more moderate but steady precipitation, she said.

Restrictions expected to continue

VICTORIA – When the aud-ited public accounts confirmed a $353 million surplus for the last fiscal year, B.C. Liberal pol-itical staff were quick to remind reporters of the NDP’s main theme from last year’s election campaign.

Pages of election quotes from almost every NDP MLA were waiting to be distributed. It was a “bogus budget,” one of the more polite tags applied to the government’s pre-election fiscal plan.

“It underestimates the costs in a whole bunch of ministries and we’re going to have to review that because all of the decisions that we propose in our platform will have to be implemented,” said then-lead-er Adrian Dix, describing the NDP’s plans to tax and spend more.

Skeena MLA Robin Aus-tin targeted health care in the budget debate: “Bearing in mind that our population is actually increasing, bearing in mind that our population is aging, I think it’s very unreal-istic to think we can actually limit health care expenditures to 2.7 per cent.”

As it turned out, health care spending grew by just over two per cent. It still went up by $360 million from the previous year, but after annual increases of six or seven per cent had become the norm, this is quite

an achievement. New agree-ments remain to be negotiated with doctors and nurses, so we’re unlikely to see the same cost control results for the cur-rent year.

Ottawa’s health care transfer payment formula has changed, and increases are to be capped at three per cent a year by 2016, so this is the kind of spend-ing restraint all provinces are expected to produce.

Education was the only other ministry to receive significant extra funding last year, up $299 million despite continuing enrolment decline.

Like health, the education budget goes up every year, and these increases, along with strong student performance results, expose the rhetoric of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation about a cash-starved system for what it is.

But the biggest fabrication of last year ’s election was the “debt free B.C.” slogan emblazoned on the side of Premier Christy Clark’s cam-paign bus.

The public accounts confirm that the province’s total debt rose to just over $60 billion, the latest of a series of increases since 2008.

The much-touted balanced budget is on the operating side, while the province continues to pile up debt to pay for the Port Mann mega-project, hos-pitals, schools and other big infrastructure.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong emphasized the difference between capital and operating

expenditures.“We’re borrowing to build

as opposed to paying for the groceries,” he said.

“Debt free B.C.” was not an outright misrepresentation, merely one of the most far-fetched promises ever deliv-ered in the history of B.C. pol-itics.

The legislature is to convene in October so the B.C. Liberals can pass a taxation framework for the nascent liquefied nat-ural gas industry, which the government hopes will gener-ate the revenues to ultimately pay off the province’s $60-bil-lion mortgage.

Meanwhile there is more capital debt ahead. The cabinet is expected to green-light the Site C dam on the Peace River this fall, a decade-long project estimated to cost $8 billion.

Along with the public accounts, the finance ministry released a list of surplus land sales.

The sale of 50-odd prop-erties, some of them closed schools, netted the provincial treasury about $310 million, which accounts for most of the surplus.

Was this “selling off the family silverware to try and bal-ance the books,” as now-NDP leader John Horgan termed it before the election? It’s certain-ly not a revenue source to be matched next year.

SUMMERLAND REVIEWA PART OF THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1908 WWW.SUMMERLANDREVIEW.COM

Each summer, thousands of hectares of British Columbia for-ests are destroyed as a result of person-caused wildfires.

A camp-fire ban this year has been implemented earlier than in past years, but campfires are not the only cause of wildfires.

A carelessly discarded ciga-rette butt or a hot automobile exhaust in tall, dry grass can also cause wildfires.

It is important to be careful around fire at any time of year, but especially now, when the danger rating is high to extreme.

culls

The ATV Jamboree held at the Crump campground last week brought numer-ous ATV users to the region.

Some will likely return to discover more of the area than they were able to see dur-ing the few days of the gathering.

Tourism events such as this one, the granfondo, the bluegrass jamboree and many more can bring visitors to the community. They can also help promote Sum-merland as a vacation destination.

growthWhen Summerland’s sched-

uled transit service was intro-duced in late October, few expected the strong posi-tive response this service has received.

Officials at B.C. Transit have seen a high level of ridership in the new service, with num-bers closer to the use seen in communities with older, more established bus service.

This response is despite a limited schedule. The bus service operates during the day Monday to Friday, with no evening, weekend or holiday service.

When a service is in demand to this degree, it is time to consider whether the service should be expanded and if so, what changes are needed.

From the beginning, the need for evening and weekend service has been discussed.

Some have also suggested schedule changes, since they have not been able to make the existing timetable work for their needs.

B.C. Transit officials have been asking for community feedback about the existing bus service. Later, the transit agency will make some rec-ommendations to the muni-cipality. However, it is up to the municipality to determine how the service will operate.

While the service has proved popular, it is important to remember that a portion of the cost comes from the muni-cipal budget. The full amount of this cost will be known after a study of the first year of transit service is completed. Earlier, when the service was introduced, the municipality’s cost was estimated at $48,000 to $54,000 a year.

If the service is to expand, it will require a larger contri-bution from the municipality. The municipality’s contribution will come from tax dollars.

Balancing the public’s desire for an expanded ser-vice with the cost to the pub-lic will prove challenging.

If Summerlanders want an expanded bus service, it will come at a cost. If the goal is to avoid tax increases, service increases would be unlikely.

THE EARLY YEARS

The colours of summerThe summer of 1940 provided optimum conditions for Lee McLaughlan’s gladiolas. His gladiola farm in Trout Creek was a burst of colour appreciated by everyone who passed by and it was most certainly also visible from the top of Giant’s Head. Though the photo is black and white, one can imagine the beauty of the multi-coloured display. The gladiola farm may be gone but Summerland is still awash with colour. Great summer weather, a fabulous lake and so much colour—yup, Oka-nagan paradise.

Dear Editor:Visitors to the

KVR Trail in Faulder will find new herit-age signs with the designation “KVR Trail Summerland to Princeton.”

The Summerland Trans Canada Trail logo has been added to those of the Prov-

ince of British Col-umbia and of RDOS, who now maintains the KVR Trail in our area.

In addition large courtesy signs were installed just before the ATV Jamboree took place.

These signs were designed jointly by

the province, the Summerland ATV Club and the Sum-merland TCT Soci-ety.

Their purpose is to set out rules for the shared use of the trail by pedestrians, cyclists, horseback riders and off-road vehicles.

The Summerland TCT Society sup-ported the installa-tion of these signs on a trial basis west of Faulder.

We will monitor how effective they are in minimizing conflict between motorized and non-motorized users.

A report will be provided in October which may result in changes.

Unfortunately, the RDOS also installed the courtesy signs along a trail section between Faulder and the Summerland KVR Station.

We cannot support

this because here the TCT trail follows a narrow, windy trail close to acreages and residences.

For this reason it is designated for non-motorized use in the RDOS trails master plan.

Please help us assess the impact of

the signs by sharing your trail experience. You can either call the RDOS help line or email us at [email protected].

Dear Editor:Once again we’re

in the middle of the perennial whine-fest about bears being attracted to garbage left out the night before pickup.

Where I live, most driveways are anywhere from 150 metres to half a kilo-metre long.

To expect someone to run their garbage up these driveways before 7 a.m. borders on ridiculous.

Families are too busy arising and getting ready for work, school, day-care, etc.

The answer is sim-ple: Evening garbage collection, say after 6 p.m.

This gives people time to return from work and school and get the garbage out prior to dinner and any evening activ-ities.

Plan shows emergency responseDear Editor:A recent editor-

ial by the provincial fire fighters union president makes sev-eral claims about the provincial pre-hospi-tal health care system that require clarifica-tion so readers can have a balanced per-spective.

To ensure that both ambulance and first responder (fire department) resour-ces are dispatched appropriately, and the public isn’t at risk from emer-gency vehicles driv-ing at high speeds unnecessarily, B.C. Emergency Health Services undertook its fifth review of its Resource Allocation Plan in 2013.

The RAP outlines

which resources to assign to each med-ical call received and how they should respond — lights and siren or routine.

Our evidence-based review found that there is no clinic-al benefit for patients to have first respond-ers dispatched for several of the call types that they cur-rently attend.

A formal con-sensus among EMS physicians is that only patients in cardiac or respira-tory arrest, or those having total airway obstruction, benefit from a rapid ambu-lance response.

An ambulance is still sent to every call in B.C., however, they are responding with-

out lights and siren more often.

Ambulance dis-patchers assess the patient’s condition over the phone and prioritize every call for service – people with life-threatening conditions get the fastest response with the highest trained paramedics avail-able.

When appropriate, dispatchers notify first responders that there is a patient that would benefit from having fire fighters provide first aid as soon as possible.

This notification occurs in seconds, not minutes as stated.

First respond-ers remain able to upgrade the call if they have concerns

about the ambulance response.

With these chan-ges, ambulances are getting to critically ill or injured patients faster and those with non-life threaten-ing conditions have been waiting only a few minutes more on average.

An EMS expert reviewed the process used to update the RAP and found that the methodology was consistent with con-temporary best prac-tices nationally and internationally, used robust clinical evi-dence, and is superi-or to the processes used in many major EMS systems.

BCEHS continues to monitor the RAP changes — which

have only been implemented for ambulances so far, not first responders — on a system-wide basis and review individual calls when the response was questioned.

To date there have been no negative clin-ical patient outcomes attributed to the RAP changes.

BCEHS greatly val-ues the role of first responders and will continue to work on strengthening this partnership using medical evidence and facts to enhance care and service for patients.

When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced.

“The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.”

Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheel-in shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.”

Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home.

Dear Editor:Thank you for

your article on the Street Banner Project honouring Summer-

land’s fallen service personnel.

The website www.s u m m e r l a n d b a n -ners.com features a

picture(if available) and short article for each person that would qualify to be honoured with a ban-

ner. The website also indicates those indi-viduals that have had a banner printed for them.

This is an easy way for those people con-sidering sponsoring a banner to research which banners are

still available along with the background for that veteran.

John DornSummerland

Information available for bannersDear Editor:I have been resid-

ing in the Marilyn Estates mobile home park for almost 21 years.

During this time I have had several dogs in my life.

My elderly dog Angel passed away almost three years ago.

Since her passing, I have been bless-ed with a new dog which I have had for two years. His name is Bow. He is my con-stant companion, my guardian, the one I share all my fear, sadness, laughs and smiles with.

Soon I will be los-ing this as I have been given an ultimatum from the new park manager.

If I keep my dog, I must leave my home of 21 years or get rid of my best friend.

Looking for ideas to help me keep my home and my best friend.

Camp supportSharon Blaney, former bylaw officer for the District of Summerland, presents two cheques totalling $880 made out to Agur Lake Camp to Mirjana Komljenovic, representing the camp. During a conference of License Inspectors and Bylaw Officers Association of B.C. at the Summerland Waterfront Resort in June, Gary Ellis, conference organizer, received donations totalling $630 for presentation to ALC. John Popple of the Municipal Law Enforcement Officers Association of Ontario Inc. pledged an additional $250. Ellis chose Agur Lake Camp as charity of choice because it is a good cause and it’s local. Agur Lake Camp, located in the mountains 20 kilometres west of Summerland is a totally accessible wilderness camp designed for families who have a member with special needs. The camp operates from June to September each summer.

Information provided on skin cancer prevention

Ambassadors from the Canadian Can-cer Society will be at Gordon Beggs Rotary Beach in Summer-land this summer to promote sun safety and skin cancer pre-vention.

On Saturday, July 26, Sunday, Aug. 10 and Saturday, Aug. 16 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., representatives from the Canadian Cancer Society will be at the beach with information.

“Tanned skin is damaged skin,” said Amanda Har-ris, health promo-tion coordinator for the Canadian Can-cer Society, Southern Interior Region.

“Skin cancer is the most common cancer in Canada.”

Each year, there are roughly 6,500 new cases of malig-nant melanoma in Canada. Of these, 970 are in British Col-umbia.

While tanning is

seen as a protective measure by some, Harris said a tan does not provide protec-tion. A tan has the equivalent of a sun protection rating of SPF 2 to 4. The rec-ommendation for good sun protection is to use a sunscreen with a factor of at least SFP 15.

She added that those in the sun should seek shade and reduce the time they are in the sun between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Joanne Malar, pro-gram coordinator for the municipality’s recreation depart-ment, said attitudes have changed in recent years.

in the 1980s and 1990s, tanning was more popular and efforts were made to darken the colour of the skin.

“People are more wise now. The infor-mation is out there,” Malar said.

Q H o w O f t e n Do You

Take X-Rays?

AThis is a great question, and is more involved that

you may think. There are several types of x-rays and all for different purposes. The most common use of x-rays is to detect decay. Depending on your susceptibility to decay, I would recommend x-rays every 12-30 months. Another use of x-rays is to evaluate bone level, and these I recommend every 1-3 years. I also review previously completed root canal treatments with x-rays, and these are helpful every 3-5 years. If wisdom teeth are present or if we need to remove a tooth, I often recommend a panoramic x-ray. This same type of x-ray can also be useful to evaluate lesions, developing teeth, nerves, sinuses, joints, previous dentistry and infection. If a patient is interested in orthodontics there are two other x-rays I like to evaluate before we begin changing the position of the teeth. If I am planning to replace teeth with an implant I recommend a 3D scan. I like to minimize exposure to radiation as much as possible. With digital radiography, we can now take eight x-rays for the same amount of radiation exposure as we could for one using traditional methods. X-rays can be a big help in prevention and in keeping your teeth healthy for life!

Review

A p p r o x i m a t e l y 150 all-terrain vehicle enthusiasts attended the Off the Grid 2014 Jamboree from July 15 to 20.

The event took place at the Crump Recreation site west of Faulder. It was hosted by the Summerland ATV Club and held in conjunction with the ATV B.C annual gen-eral meeting.

“Our club and vol-

unteers were praised to no end, from all the people that were there,” said Phillip Young, the Summer-land club’s president. “They said it was one of the best jamborees they’ve been to in years. It was wonder-

ful.”Young explained

that every year ATV B.C. holds their annual general meet-ing in a different part of British Columbia. By doing this the many different ATV clubs throughout the province are brought together. Everyone is updated on any new information that may affect riders in B.C.

In preparation for the event, the Sum-merland club made several improve-ments to the Crump site, with funds from the B.C. government.

Additional camp-

sites were added with tables and fire rings. Two more outhouses were installed. Some upgrades to the road into the area were made and the bridge that crosses Trout Creek was widened to accommodate side by side machines.

The club views this as a legacy pro-ject for Summerland residents and visitors alike.

“We took on stew-ardship of the Crump recreation site,” said Young. “The club goes out and cleans things up and fixes things.”

Several different permits had to be in place in order to hold the jamboree. One such permit was a parade permit, in order for them to make an ice cream run.

Approximately 90 people on 67 quads rode on the main roads from Faulder to Summerland Sweets on Thursday evening.

S u m m e r l a n d RCMP officers assist-ed with traffic con-trol.

Guided rides to local lakes and areas in the hills around Summerland were held every day, including a night ride and a poker run.

After the general meeting on Saturday, a barbecue was held.

“Our club mem-bers got together and we held an off the grid dinner,” Young said. “We had four barbecues all lined up. We had ribs and chicken kabobs, sal-ads, baked potatoes, buns and desserts. People said that was one of the best din-ners they’ve ever had.”

Safety concerns were also addressed. A water truck and firefighting equip-ment were on site in the event of a fire breaking out. There was a strict no open flame policy in place even before the camp-fire ban was issued. A first aid attendant was also present.

When out riding the trails, the riders

were in radio contact with each other and the motto was, “We are not leaving any-one behind, no mat-ter what the cause,” said Young.

Many local busi-nesses supported the club to help make the event happen.

“We had a lot of local people spon-sor us,” explained Young. “We incor-porated Summerland into this jamboree. When you have to deal with food, water and amenities for this many people, there is a lot of money going to change hands. The motels were booked solid. The spin offs were immense and think of the amount of gas they burned.”

As a group the Summerland ATV club also wants to show the community that they are respon-sible riders.

“We want to be able to ride on our land in the province, so by doing this right and showing we are responsible riders, that is what it’s all about. It’s about edu-cating the public on the use of the land and how to use it and to stick to the trails,” said Young. “We want everyone to look at us in a good light.”

Young said he is proud to be leader of this pack.

“I’m very proud of the people in this club. They should be proud of themselves and what they pulled off.”

ATV enthusiasts gather for jamboreeATV JamboreeThe Summerland ATV Club hosted the Off the Grid 2014 Jamboree last week. On Thursday, participants rode to Summerland Sweets for an ice cream run in the evening.

SCOREBOARD

Three-day event finishes in Summerland

A three-day endur-ance triathlon in early August will finish in Summerland.

The Ultraman Can-ada triathlon, held over the August long weekend, will bring 29 athletes from six coun-

tries for a 515-kilo-metre competition.

This is the 14th year the triathlon has been held since its inception in 1993.

The triathlon begins Aug. 2 with a 10-kilometre swim in Skaha Lake to Sovereign Road near Okanagan Falls.

This is followed by a 144.8-kilometre bike ride over Richter Pass and back in Okanag-an Falls.

On Aug. 3, the competitors will cycle 274.2 kilometres which includes Pen-ticton, Osoyoos, Okanagan Falls and Princeton.

On Aug. 4, the tri-athlon concludes with an 84.4-kilometre run from Princeton to Summerland, finish-ing in Memorial Park.

Athletes in this year’s race are from Canada, the United States, Norway, Aus-tralia, Spain and Malaysia.

Competitors must have completed an iron-distance race in under 14.5 hours within the past 18 months.

This year, for the first time, the event will also include live streaming of selected portions at ultraman-canada.com.

Ultraman athletes compete

Goalie skillsWilliam Rich, 10 years old, works on his goaltending techniques at the Gold in the Net hockey camp at the Summerland Arena. Throughout the summer, numerous hockey schools and camps are held at the arena.

With the B.C. Sum-mer Games taking place in Nanaimo July 17 to 20, the Boston Pizza Junior Triathlon has been bumped to Aug. 22. Race director Troyce Beglaw said the dates

usually change every two years as it nor-mally takes place prior to the Peach Classic Triathlon which is on July 20.

“In the past we’ve just always had fewer of the older athletes come,” said Beglaw, adding that he spoke

to Steve King and a few other people about moving the BP Junior Triathlon to the week of Chal-lenge Penticton.

Beglaw, who is officiating the tri-athlon events for the B.C. Summer Games, said in having it part

of Challenge events, it makes it more family oriented and something for the kids to do. However, Beglaw said the tri-athlon will return to its usual weekend with the Peach Clas-sic. Currently the BP Junior Triathlon has

60 kids signed up and he’s hoping for 150, but he’s not sure if that will happen with other events sched-uled around the same time. Entry forms for the triathlon can be found at www.chal-lenge-penticton.com under enter.

McCombe, RichardRichard passed away peacefully on July 15, 2014 at the age of 86 years. Richard will be remembered and sadly missed by his wife Phylis, children Richard (Carla), Silvina (Phil), Colleen, Maryan, grandchildren; Ellissa, Meghen, Spencer, Mathew, Amber, Michael, Andrew, sister; Ann Doyle, sister in law; Jacquie Kolter. A quote from the grandkids was our secret family recipe. “His greatness of character was the perfect mix of humour, strength, passion, wisdom, empathy and love”. Dick liked to share stories of Rotary and his travels, as well as his life in Peru and Argentina and reflect on his past mining experiences. This included that he realized the potential of the Toromocho Ore Body in Morococha Peru and was responsible for the original drilling program undertaken for its development. It is expected to be one of the largest open pit mines in the world when it has developed to its fullest potential. A Memorial Service was held on July 19, 2014 at 1:00pm from Providence’s Summerland Chapel, 13205 Rosedale Ave. Summerland, BC. Memorial tributes in Richard’s name may be donated to Moog & Friends Hospice House or to the Canadian Cancer Society.

WHERE DO YOU TURN

YOUR NEWSPAPER:The link to your community

TO LEARNWHAT’S

ON SALE?

To date I have been greatly enjoying my summer listening tour.

The opportunity to meet with citizens, organizations and employers firsthand is very valuable and helpful in the work that I do as a Member of Parliament.

I also find that consistently the issues raised by cit-izens in Okanagan-Coquihalla are very different than many of the topics raised by the media in Ottawa.

In Ottawa I find increasingly that the views and opinions of experts are often pushed to the fore-front, while the views and opinions of every day citizens fall to the wayside.

During the debate on the Fair Elections Act, one of the key areas of disagreement was over the reason-ableness of requiring ID to vote in a fed-eral election no dif-ferently from what is used in local elections where a mayor or council, rural director or school trustee are elected.

The reality is the requirement on how reasonable it is to produce ID to vote is a matter of opinion, one that all Canadians can and should feel entitled to have or share. Yet in Ottawa the oppos-ition and some in the media suggest that these are matters for expert opinion and that everyday Can-adians voices are somehow lesser or don’t count. By not being inclusive in our institutions and pro-cesses we risk ignor-ing, perhaps even alienating individual Canadians.

This leads to another subject I believe is worthy of considera-tion — the supremacy of Parliament.

A fundamental principle of democ-racy is that ultimately

citizens, through the democratic process, can elect a govern-ment they believe is best suited to make the decisions, policy and draft laws, that in our case will help build a stronger Canada.

In 2009 a Liberal MP introduced Bill C-428 that proposed newly immigrated citizens could begin collecting OAS retire-ment benefits within three years of arriving in Canada (assuming

they were 65 or older) rather than wait the 10-year residency requirement.

The outrage was significant. In fact I still receive frequent opposition from cit-izens to this bill.

What happened to Bill C-428? Ultimately an election occurred and the Liberal MP who authored Bill C-428 was not re-elected.

Courts can provide valuable guidance in complex cases as not everything can be anticipated when drafting law; how-ever to see policies rewritten that down-load cost to taxpayers without representa-tion is a concern we should be mindful of.

In 2012 our Gov-ernment made chan-ges to health care coverage for refugee claimants attempting to seek permanent

entry into Canada. At the time it was

noted that the refu-gee health care plan was more generous than the health care plans available to and paid by taxpayers. It was also observed that some of the refu-gee claimants access-ing our taxpayer financed medical plan were coming from free, democratic countries such as the United States. As a result, changes were made to the refugee health program.

Recently a federal court judge has ruled that the changes con-tradict the charter and has ruled against them. Our govern-ment is appealing this ruling. This is a decision that some citizens are support-ive of and others strongly oppose.

I welcome your views on this or any

subject before the House of Commons. I can be reached at

[email protected] or toll free at 1-800-665-8711.
