Council to study future growth area for community

by John Arendt

The municipality will revisit the urban growth strategy in the Official Commun-ity Plan.

On Monday, council gave early approv-al to the $65,000 cost of the review.

The existing Official Community Plan was adopted in 2008.

At that time, since plans were in the works for the Summerland Hills Golf Resort development, more than one-third of the community’s growth area was the site for the proposed development.

The development was expected to add around 1,700 housing units.

Early in 2010, the developers behind Summerland Hills chose to let the plan expire.

Discussions about a proposed develop-ment at the western edge of the munici-pality had been going on for 15 to 20 years and developers had spent more than $1 million on their plan.

When the plan expired, the municipal-ity was left with no other areas set aside for future growth.

“It is no longer appropriate because of Summerland Hills,” said Mayor Janice Perrino. “We need to review and ask where are the best places for us to grow.”

“We’re not just looking at the next five years; we’re looking at 50 years,” said Coun. Orv Robson.

Wharton Street concept shownDevelopment proposal would allow mix of uses

by John Arendt

Developers behind the proposed Wharton Street project presented their plans at an informa-tion session on Thursday evening.

But the final details of

the proposed develop-ment have not yet been completed.

“We are currently in the conceptual planning stage,” said Randy Gib-son, one of the develop-ers. “This is the time we’re looking for input.”

The project will be a mix of residential, insti-tutional and commercial spaces. The buildings are

to be constructed on the block of Wharton Street between Kelly Avenue and Rosedale Avenue.

Gibson said there is interest in the project.

“There are a lot of local businesses that would like to be involved,” he said.

The first building would include a new space for the library as

well as three floors of residential spaces.

The library would cover 790 square metres, considerably more than the present 316 square metres. Residential units would range from 46 to 88 square metres.

Mike Stohler, a Sum-merland real estate agent working with the developers, said there is

interest in smaller resi-dential units. He added that in other develop-ments, the smallest of the units tend to sell quickly.

Other buildings in the development would con-tain a mix of various uses.

“We’re creating a place where people can live, work and interact.” Gib-son said.

106 years youngCaroline Durick celebrated her 106th birthday at Summerland Seniors’ Village last week. Durick is the oldest resident at the care facility and one of the oldest in Summerland.

VICTORIA – B.C.’s ritual day of shame over child poverty has come and gone once again, with politicians trading blame and time-worn talking points.

The occasion was an annual gathering staged at the B.C. Teachers’ Fed-eration office in downtown Vancouver. It is organized by First Call, an umbrella group sponsored by the BCTF, the B.C. Govern-ment Employ-ees’ Union and a collection of like-minded “anti-poverty activists,” as they describe themselves in their latest report.

The familiar script unfolded. The report misinterprets fed-eral income statistics from two years ago and calls for a long list of uncosted, but hugely expensive measures that they assert will make B.C. the first jurisdiction in human history to eradicate poverty.

A sampling: provide raises for employees and contractors at all levels of government until they are making an unspecified “living wage,” because we all know how public sector work-ers uniquely suffer from pay and pension inequality.

Raise the minimum wage again and index it to inflation. Establish universal public den-tal care, prescription drug and eye care programs, and daycare. (Dismiss targeted programs that already provide this.)

Raise welfare rates and expand eligibility for employ-ment insurance. Cut tuition and

provide more student grants. Eliminate homelessness.

And so it continues toward a socialist Utopia and certain bankruptcy for provincial and federal governments already deeply in the red.

I wrote about these numbers when Statistics Canada released them back in June. They showed a modest improvement national-ly and provincially in what they measure, which is not poverty, but the relative relationship between income groups. First Call dismisses that improve-

ment as “a dismal record.”My point is not to deny that

there are many poor people in B.C. and Canada. But at this point we don’t even have a reli-able way of measuring the prob-lem, let alone effective solutions.

The report states: “Statistics Canada said the child poverty rate in Greater Vancouver was 18.4 per cent in 2010 …” No, Sta-tistics Canada didn’t say that. They said what they always say, that “Low-Income Cut-Off,” or LICO figures, are not an accurate measure of poverty.

The political response was equally predictable. Vet-eran NDP MP Libby Davies led the charge in Ottawa. The government must establish a national anti-poverty strat-egy with firm annual goals, she said, reciting the identical script of the B.C. NDP. Davies didn’t mention that Manitoba is among the provinces with such

a plan. It’s the only province that finished below B.C. in the percentage of children living in low-income homes. These plans are mainly gesture politics, pro-viding the appearance of action.

Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux spoke on behalf of the B.C. Liberal gov-ernment, and she, too, stuck to a familiar script. The best path out of poverty is a job, she said. This is true, but also obvious.

Then Cadieux went on about the “B.C. Jobs Plan,” which has its own sorry record of mis-

represented federal statistics.Here’s one of the report’s

more blindingly obvious sec-tion headings: “Child poverty concentrated in big cities.” No kidding. The whole population is concentrated in big cities.

Herein lies a clue that is missed by “activists” for ever-larger government. Poor people are increasingly crowded into the most expensive places.

If I’m on welfare or working in a low-wage job and receiv-ing a provincial rent subsidy, should I live in downtown Vic-toria or Vancouver? Shouldn’t I relocate to a smaller commun-ity where housing is cheaper?

There are lots of complica-tions to this, but some kind of incentive to relocate could help big and small communities.

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

At this time of year, there are many initiatives to help those who are less fortunate, through gift drives, food bank drives and other efforts.

While the g e n e r o s i t y shown during the holiday season is truly inspiring, it is sad that such needs exist.

Summerland is a prosperous community, but there are also some among us who are struggling financially.

While the generous efforts are appreciated, as a community and as a society we also need to look at how we address issues surrounding poverty in our midst.

culls

Volunteers have stepped for-ward and the Summerland Fall Fair will continue to be a reality.

The fair has been a Summer land tradition since 1909 and still draws large crowds.

Keeping the fair running takes a lot of effort. The volunteers will have plenty of work ahead of them before next fall.

Their commitment and dedi-cation will help make the fair a reality for another year.

ourpickPlanning

for growthIn 2008, when the latest

Official Community Plan was adopted, the growth area was limited.

More than one-third of the urban growth area in the plan was the site of the proposed Summerland Hills Golf Resort development.

The plan seemed sensible since the development would have added around 1,700 housing units to the com-munity.

Then, when the develop-ment plan was abandoned, Summerland was left with a community plan which no longer made much sense. There is a need for the com-munity to review its urban growth strategy.

Summerland needs a com-munity plan. More than that, this plan must be kept up to date if it is to have any value.

In the past, all issues of growth and land use at the municipal level have been decided together in the Official Community Plan.

Building a comprehensive plan as a single unit seems to make sense until one con-siders the time and effort involved.

The community plan adopted in 2008 and the pre-vious plan, adopted in the mid-1990s took several years of intense work for the muni-cipality’s planning department.

Working on one section at a time becomes much more man-ageable for the planning depart-ment, for those who wish to provide input into the plan and for the council members who will ultimately make a decision on the proposed changes.

The biggest drawback to breaking up revisions to the plan comes because the various parts of the plan are connected to a greater or lesser degree.

A decision on urban growth may also affect indus-trial land areas or transporta-tion plans.

Still, working on an updated plan for urban growth by itself and adjusting other areas affected by this revision will be much simpler and much less expensive than reworking the entire plan.

Water metering not simply a tax grabDear Editor:Last week, you

published a letter criticizing our local government for its effort to meter water usage in Sum-merland and charge people on the basis of their consump-tion.

There may be good

reason to criticize that effort in terms of its troubled imple-mentation but not in terms of the principle involved.

Apparently, last week’s correspond-ent thinks that any revenue collected by government is a tax. Hence, any

attempt to put in a more rational pricing scheme for public services — including fee for service where it can be done — is simply another rev-enue grab.

This argument is woefully simplistic and does great dis-service to an import-

ant debate. Where the technol-

ogy exists to charge me for my particular water consumption habits rather than have my neighbour subsidize me — or vice versa — I see absolutely no argu-ment in support of the current flat fee

system. Indeed, I am sur-

prised our critic did not go on to sug-gest that we should stop metering elec-tricity consumption as well and simply move to a per capita charge.

The broad debate about levels of taxa-

tion generally is far too important to be trivialized by a mud-dled argument aimed at user fees.

Years ago, the Secretary of the Treasury Board in Ottawa (the federal government depart-ment concerned with expenditure man-

agement) had a sign over his desk which read, “Any govern-ment big enough to give you every-thing you want is big enough to take everything you’ve got.”

Think about it.Mark R. Daniels

Summerland

Downtown—just for the fun of itSummerland residents are always ready for a sociable downtown gathering. In this photo from 1960 the event is the annual Kiwanis Street Carnival, complete with rides for the kids, concession stands and carnival games. One of the most popular activities was the Fish Pond where children could cast a line to catch a surprise. On Friday, Nov. 30, the 25th Annual Festival of Lights provides a wonderful opportunity to gather downtown for tons of fun, food, shopping and surprises. It’s a great place to make memories. Don’t miss it.

Remembrance Day concerns will be addressedDear Editor:A recent letter to

the Summerland Review voiced con-cerns about this year’s Remembrance Day ceremony.

The Summerland Legion is responsible for the ceremony.

Although the basic format of the ceremony is consist-ent throughout the nation, each com-munity tailors the

observance based on local tradition and conditions.

The first com-plaint was that the wreaths are removed too quickly after the event.

Officially there is no protocol for the duration of wreath displays for Remem-brance Day.

As one of the many Legion volunteers, I have been respon-

sible for retrieving the wreaths on the evening of Remem-brance Day.

My experience has been that, unfortu-nately weather dictates that the wreaths need to be removed on a timely basis as quite often the windy rainy con-ditions topple the wreaths.

The Legion mem-bership feels that

wreaths scattered about the park is dis-respectful.

In the past, wreaths have been stolen and vandalized.

Despite the above, next year I will attempt to affix a single wreath to the cenotaph, which can hopefully remain safely overnight.

The second com-plaint was that the public address sys-

tem performed poor-ly. It was purchased at great expense by the Legion just a few years ago.

We acknowledge that it did not per-form adequately on Nov. 11.

We are unsure if this was caused by poor placement of the speakers, the windy conditions or possibly that the equipment is not

suitable for the lar-ger crowds. The public address sys-tem will be tested by the Legion on Can-ada Day with the goal to rectify this problem.

It is the Legion’s objective to continu-ously improve the Remembrance Day experience in Sum-merland with the goal of honouring our fallen properly

and in a manner that meets the expecta-tions of the commun-ity.

In summary, I per-sonally am distressed that critics are com-pelled to play out their opinions in the popular press, rather than voicing concerns directly to the per-son or organization responsible.

Upset stomach? Indigestion? Medically, it’s functional dyspepsia and it can cause pain, heartburn, bloating, belching and/or nausea. Once serious causes are ruled out, there are things you can do to manage the symptoms. Eat small portions more frequently and chew slowly & thoroughly, avoid chewing gum, sodas & trigger foods, reduce stress, get plenty of rest and manage your weight.

People who suffer from Crohn’s Disease can benefit from keeping a food diary to help identify “trigger” foods which aggravate their condition. Dairy products are a common trigger which can increase diarrhea, abdominal pain and gas. Fatty foods are often not well-digested and can lead to diarrhea as well. Also, watch for “gassy” foods, (cabbage, beans, fruit), spicy foods, alcohol and caffeine.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) includes Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. These can be extremely painful conditions and the cause is not well-understood. Recently, a study found that those living in southern states had a 52% lower rate of Crohn’s and 38% lower rate of colitis! The results suggest the role of sunshine/vitamin D in immunity and the inflammatory responses that lead to these conditions.

In Scotland, another study has discovered that friendly bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract were 30 times lower in patients with colitis compared to healthy people. The researchers then developed a probiotic to treat the colitis patients and found it significantly reduced the pain and discomfort – to near normal levels. Ongoing research may result in a new mode of therapy.

Chronic conditions such as Crohn’s and colitis can be very wearing on the sufferer. Often, a few small changes to lifestyle can make a big difference. Talk to our pharmacists for helpful tips.

Positive meeting with SteamDear Editor:I recently had the pleas-

ure of dealing with the management of the Sum-merland Steam.

I contacted them about having my sons’s team attend a home game.

The general manager went above and beyond for our kids to have a great night out. He provided our team with tickets and arranged for our boys to meet the players after the game.

The Steam players were so gracious and patiently waited for the kids to have their pucks signed by all.

This is a fantastic organ-ization and a great addi-tion to Summerland.

I would encourage everyone to go out to a game and support your local team — it’s a great hockey experience!

Dear Editor:Open letter to “You

Know Who You Are”On Thursday, Nov.

22 at around 10:30 a.m. you were driv-ing your car turn-ing left from Steven Avenue onto Elliot Street.

You slowed down at the stop sign, didn’t see anything coming and pro-ceeded through the intersection.

However, you missed the cyclist who had just turned right from Hunt Street onto Elliot Street.

You hit the cyclist who was knocked to

the ground, blocking your car from mov-ing forward.

Rather than get-ting out and check-ing and seeing if the cyclist needed assist-ance, you backed up and drove around her and carried on your way.

Maybe you pan-icked or were afraid to admit what you had done.

Calling the RCMP and reporting your involvement won’t take away what you did but it might help you sleep at night.

Do the right thing.Lesley Field

Volunteers step forward for Fall FairNew directors join board for coming year

by John Arendt

Despite earlier concerns about a shortage of volunteer directors, the Sum-merland Fall Fair will continue for the 104th year in 2013.

Earlier, past presi-dent Connie Davis said the fair was in dire need of new board members.

There were just five volunteer directors on the board. She said at least nine and ideally 12 were need-ed.

At a meeting on Nov. 21, volunteers stepped forward and there are now 10 board members for the coming year.

“ S u m m e r l a n d made it quite clear that they would like the fair to continue,” Davis said. “The

104th year will go ahead.”

She added that the board represents a variety of ages, from seniors to parents of younger children.

“We’ve got quite a varied age group represented.”

The new board president is Cindy Nelson and the vice-president is Lisa Jaa-ger. Frank Belden is treasurer and Angela Sielmann is secretary.

Directors are Connie Davis, Ray Davis, Henry Sielmann, Ashley Selwood, Ken Roberge and Bill Aus-

tin.Board members

are on for two-year

terms.Davis described

the new board as “eager and feisty” and said the members

are ready to work on the next fair.

The board will

hold its next meeting in December. There are numerous tasks which must be com-pleted by spring in order to hold the fair in fall.

For next year, the fair board is consid-ering a move to a dif-ferent weekend of the fall.

The wineries will also play a more sig-nificant role in the next fair. For the past two years, a wine

competition has been held in conjunction with the Fall Fair.

Other events are being considered to ensure the fair has a strong component to appeal to families.“Summerland made it quite clear

that they would like the fair to continue. The 104th year will go ahead.”

Connie Davis

Continued from Page 1She added that

the community plan should not be seen as a permanent docu-ment but rather as something static and fluid.

Perrino said she

would like lots of public input during the review.

She said she would like to see municipal officials and consultants speak with a few thousand people.

“We want to make sure there’s involve-ment,” she said.

The process to rework the bylaw to change the growth strategy is expected to take around a year.

Revised community plan will continue to change

The Okanagan Regional Library board has given its support to the Whar-ton Street develop-ment.

At the board’s meeting on Nov. 14, the board approved a motion to pursue the development site as the location for a new Summerland library branch.

Staff will begin negotiations with the developer.

The proposed development on Wharton Street would replace the existing Summerland library branch.

The first building would include space

for a newer, larger library.

The present library branch is 316 square metres, or 45 per cent of the size needed to serve Summerland’s population.

The size the developers are con-sidering for the new branch is around 790 square metres, said Randy Gibson, one of the developers.

Mayor Janice Per-rino said the library would be a welcome part of the develop-ment.

“We were thrilled to hear this,” she said. “This will be a place that is vibrant, strong and healthy for our downtown.”

Library gives approval to Wharton plan

Continued from Page 1The plan calls for

multiple buildings on the property.

Gibson said the market will dictate the specific details of the various buildings.

The development proposal represents the second time such a concept has come up for Wharton Street

within the past dec-ade.

Earlier, a developer had proposed a series of buildings on the site, up to seven stor-eys high, to include a mix of institution-al, residential and commercial spaces. However, the con-cept was abandoned early in 2011 after the

developer at the time did not purchase the property by the Jan. 15, 2011 deadline.

Following the expiration of the property, municipal staff revisited the

concept and prepared an updated expres-sion of interest docu-ment for the property.

Proposed buildingWhile the details have not yet been determined, a proposed development on Wharton Street would provide a new location for the Summerland Library as well as residential and commercial units.

Multiple buildings in development

Large developmentSeveral buildings are planned for the Wharton Street development project. The first of these would house the library.

The Okanagan Skaha School District has received funding to purchase two new school buses.

On Thursday, the province announced

the school district will receive $270,262 from a province-wide $14 million initiative.

Around British Columbia, 125 new school buses will be purchased.

The clean diesel

buses reduce exhaust particulate emissions by 90 per cent com-pared to the 1994 stan-dard. Fuel economy is 30 to 60 per cent bet-ter than for gasoline-powered buses.

The 84-passenger

buses are to replace buses already in place. To receive funding for a new bus, the existing bus must be at least 15 years old or have more than 400,000 kilometres.

“It’s important that local school districts have enough buses to meet rising demand. This investment will benefit students, par-ents, and school dis-tricts across B.C.,” said MLA Bill Barisoff.

Two other school districts in the region will also receive fund-ing for new buses. School District 51 will receive $540,523 for four buses while School District 53 will receive $135,131 for

one bus.In British Col-

umbia, there are around 1,200 buses owned and operated by school districts. Another 600 are oper-ated by bus compan-ies under contract.

CounCil RepoRt

by John Arendt

Municipal council has set out its goals and objectives for the next two years.

The goals and objectives were pre-sented at the muni-cipal council meeting on Monday.

They include sus-tainability, social d e v e l o p m e n t , environmental pro-tection, strengthening the economy, running the municipality effi-ciently and effect-ively and working within limited finan-cial resources.

Sustainability is seen as a focus on

social development, environmental pro-tection and economic growth.

Within the goals are specific items sur-rounding a transit service for the com-munity, something which has been con-sidered for several years.

One of the items calls for obtaining and considering a feasibility study for a transit service.

Housing options will also be con-sidered. Providing housing includes considering a variety of housing alterna-

tives, reviewing land use options and pro-viding various forms of densification.

For environmental protection, funds will be set aside.

A climate action committee has been created to help muni-cipal staff achieve the goals in the commun-ity’s Climate Action Plan.

Strengthening the economy includes providing land for future growth, pro-moting Summerland as a tourist destina-tion, developing an economic develop-ment marketing

strategy and working with the Summerland Chamber of Econom-ic Development and Tourism and other organizations to help new and existing businesses.

Efforts are also included in the goals and objectives to improve customer service and to stream-line municipal oper-ations.

To work with the municipality’s avail-able funds, council will examine alter-nate sources of rev-enue.

Council will also work to retain and build relationships with other govern-ments.

Mayor Janice Per-

rino said the goals and objectives exam-ine what council has done and what will be done.

“You plan the work and work the plan,” she said.

Municipal adminis-trator Tom Day said the list of goals should not be seen as a firm and inflexible plan. “This document is a fluid document and council will receive formal updates from staff every four months on the prog-ress made towards accomplishing coun-cil’s goals as well as details of day to day activities, so council can be aware of staff’s progress,” he said in a report to council.

Traditional books aren’t being replaced by new technology.

Circulation of print materials is down three per cent within Okanagan Regional Library, while the download of audio-

books and ebooks has almost doubled.

However, executive director Lesley Dieno says the agency still circulates three mil-

lion print items a year.“Lots of people,

and especially teens, want print,” she said.

“They (teens) read computers and phones all day long and when they are ready for pleasure, they want print.”

There is also a growing demand within print materials for books with large type and languages other than English.

But many ORL patrons are embra-cing the latest in tech-nology. “So far this year, 83,000 ebooks have been down-loaded,” said Dieno.

Other services are also proving popular.

The number of downloads of music from the Freegal database is up 80 per cent and the collec-tion of magazines from Zinio is being used at a high rate.

With increasing demands for reading material and music in various forms, finan-cial pressures are being placed on ORL.

“We’re just adding things on, we’re not getting rid of any-thing,” said Dieno.

Clothing collected for charity drive

A clothing drive held this month will benefit charitable organizations.

The bags of cloth-ing were given to the Canadian Diabetes Association. From each bag of cloth-ing, $3 will go to the school, where it will then be given to the SPCA and Critteraid.

The schools in Summerland col-lected a total of 204 bags of clothing, to raise $612.

“We thought it would be a good way to recycle clothing,” said Katie Becker, a Grade 11 student at the high school. “It’s a good way for the com-munity to pitch in.”

Benefits seen from shopping locallyIn our last article

for the Summerland Review, we shared our excitement about the upcoming 25th Annual Festival of Lights with the read-ers.

The majority of the events and activ-ities that evening are happening on Main Street and Victoria Road — your down-town. In addition to being a fun com-munity event, Light Up has long been considered a way to showcase our eclec-tic town centre and highlight the many businesses that reside there to provide ser-vices for us.

It is considered the kick-off to the local holiday shopping season.

And while it is important to visit your favourite shops, restaurants and pro-fessional service pro-viders downtown, it is also important to remember all the other wonderful busi-nesses we have right here in Summerland and the importance of supporting them all year long also.

Let’s take a look at some of the top reasons why it’s so important to think

local first for all your needs.Money spent here stays here

For every $100 spent here, $68 comes back to the commun-ity through expendi-tures if spending with an independent business.

Spend the same amount at a national retailer and only $43 is put back into that community. Spend the same amount online with an out of town retailer and $0 comes back to the community.Jobs and wages

Money needs to stay in the commun-ity if we are going to provide jobs.

We can’t hire you, your spouse, your kids or any other friends and family members without being able to grow our businesses.

And receiving ser-vice from friends, family and neigh-bours means we get to know you and your needs like nobody else.

You can’t beat that for great service. Save time and be green

Does it really make sense to drive south in case you might

save a few cents on a pound of apples when you spend more on energy con-sumption and time?

If you do need to go the extra mile con-sider filling up locally first.

And the more you shop here, the more varieties growers can provide etc.

If you can’t get what you want local-ly make a point to ask that friendly busi-nesses owner if they can get it in. If the item is not available ask if they have sub-stitution recommen-dations or know of another local supplier for the product.

Buying at least four of the five things you need here WILL make a difference to the health of the com-munity you live in.

Local character and prosperity

Communities that preserve their dis-tinctive character and one-of-a-kind businesses are better able to offer a more diverse quality of life for residents, and unique experiences for visitors.

Only by sup-porting local can we hope to have a vibrant downtown with all the vacancies filled.

And don’t forget that filled vacancies equals better tax rev-enue which equals more services and amenities which we all need and enjoy.Invested in your community

Local businesses are likely owned and managed by people who live and work in our communities.

They are invested in our community’s future and support our churches, our schools, our organ-izations, our service clubs, community events such as Fes-tival of Lights and your fundraisers.

These businesses cannot offer support to all these important and necessary pillars of a great community

without being ABLE to. Money in equals money out.

We hope to see you out on Light Up night, enjoying all the local wares and offer-ings.

While warm-ing up in stores and

offices take the time to inquire about the services and products you’re interested in. Find out what makes them unique and what they can do for you.

Let businesses know what you want and give them a

chance to deliver. Arlene Fenrich

The sounds of the holiday season will come alive as the Penticton Tune-Agers per-form at a special concert early next month.

“It puts us in the mood for Christmas,” said Peggy Whit-ley, a member of the musical group.

She added that the concert will feature a mix of tradition-al and modern music, not all of it Christmas songs.

There are around 60 singers and musicians in the Tune-Agers. Some of the pieces will feature singers without accompaniment while others will be orchestral numbers.

The Summerland concert has been a tradition in Sum-merland, but it was not held last year.

Conductor Gerald Nadeau began working with the musical group in September,

2011. Because of the transi-tion to a new conductor, the concert was cancelled.

“Each new conductor brings new things to the group,” Whitley said.

This year’s concert will be held Dec. 9 at 2:30 p.m. at Summerland United Church. Tickets are available at Indul-gences, from any member of the Tune-Agers or at the door.

Keys, a lineman with the electrical department, shared rides to work with his coworker Derek Chudyk during the challenge. He said they plan to continue carpooling when possible.

Addressing child poverty issuesRecently the First

Call organization released the annual report card on child poverty.

This is a very important subject and as I have done in previous years, I believe it is import-ant to look at these reports in greater detail. From a his-torical perspective, from 1976 up until

approximately 1984, child poverty rates in British Columbia were below the Can-adian national aver-age, unfortunately since the early 80’s B.C. has largely had a much poorer record.

Even those years when B.C. dropped below the Can-adian average, our provincial child poverty rates were

still unacceptably high. In the most recent year of report-ing, 2010, the BC child poverty rating is estimated in the First Call report at 14.3 per cent (before tax) again above the National average of 13.7 per cent.

From a provincial perspective, Mani-toba has the highest rates in Canada at

17.6 per cent while Quebec and Ontario have rates that are basically the same as in British Columbia.

The more import-ant consideration is what actions are being taken in order to help lower child poverty rates.

Over the past five years British Colum-bia has introduced a number of initiatives intended to assist lower income fam-ilies.

The B.C. rental assistance program, all day kindergart-en, fair pharmacare, increased afford-able housing as well as increased day-care spaces and an increased minimum wage have all been aimed at assisting those families most in need.

By the numbers the rental assistance program now bene-fits close to 30,000 families and there are now 18,000 new affordable housing units constructed province wide with a further 4,000 units still underway.

In terms of day-care there are now a p p r o x i m a t e l y 100,000 licensed spaces that are fund-

ed and for working families B.C. now has the lowest personal income tax rates in all of Canada.

More recently the minimum wage was raised and the recent B.C. jobs program has been successful in helping to ensure that British Columbia is a leading province in Canada in the cre-ation of new jobs, in fact over 56,000 new jobs have been added to the BC economy since February of 2011.

For taxpayers it is also important to rec-ognize that these pro-grams represent sig-nificant investments of tax dollars.

As a result it is also important to review what progress or lack of progress is being made with respect to reducing childhood poverty not just in British Columbia, but all across Canada.

Looking over B.C. childhood poverty rates over the past five years and over the past 25 years pro-vides a context that can be helpful to see what direction our province is headed.

In this case, our current child poverty rates in B.C., although

certainly deserving of further reduction, are currently at the second lowest level recorded since 1980, and have dropped 45 per cent since 2003.

Fortunately the Canadian child poverty rate has also been in decline and while both B.C. and Canada are showing lower child poverty rates we must also continue to build on programs that can benefit those most in need.

Before I close this week’s report it also needs to be pointed out that increasing spending and adding programs is in itself not a complicated task.

However finding the tax dollars to pay for increased spend-ing is a challenge and

more so given that citizens have made it clear that increased taxation is something a majority of citizens will oppose.

Ultimately as per-sonal income taxes, sales taxes and MSP premiums combined no longer cover just the healthcare budget, other sources of revenue will need to be identified. The resource sector is cur-rently one of British Columbia’s greatest assets in the ability to promote job creation and also to increase government rev-enues.

Increasingly there are citizens who campaign against resource develop-ment in British Col-umbia and often they are one and the same who also advocate for increased govern-ment spending.

If we are to sus-tainably increase gov-ernment spending then we must also be willing to either accept increased taxa-tion or support more revenue generating projects that can be found in the resource sector.

Scam Artist Busted!The news out of Montreal was very good the other day. RCMP had broken a fraud ring which was responsible for scamming people out of millions of dollars a year. The ring preyed on elderly people over the telephone. The darker, lonlier days of winter are their favourite time to ply their trade. They take advantage of the fact that in winter many seniors (their usual targets) are most likely to be cooped up at home without family or otherwise friendly contact. With their very polished pitches they befriend people and convince them to send money for all manner of items or services which will never appear.The best way to protect yourself against these people is to have a very healthy scepticism for any deal or product that sounds too good to be true. The simple fact is, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is! Do not be afraid to phone a friend or family member if you receive a letter or call from someone with the deal of a lifetime. Ask them what they think of it. In addition ask for as much information as you can from the caller and check up on them. If the deal is legitimate, they won't mind you protecting yourself. If they do, then it's a very good sign that they are not who or what they say they are. While this latest group of criminals is gone be sure that someone else will jump in and takeover their spot. Please be cautious.

Steam winning streak at four gamesThe Summerland

Steam completed the week with a 3-2 over-time win in Penticton Saturday night.

S u m m e r l a n d ’ s Steve Semenoff scored in overtime to seal the victory for the visiting Steam.

The win capped a busy week playing five games in nine nights, which saw the Steam win its last four games, with wins in Columbia Valley 11-0, at home against first-place Princeton 3-1 and Creston 5-4 in

overtime.On Tuesday night

200 fans witnessed a 3-1 Steam victory over the first-place Princeton Posse.

This ended Princet-on’s five-game win-ning streak and was the Steam’s second

win in as many games.

Olli Dickson lead the way play-ing a physical game and potting a goal, goaltender Connor DeMelo was brilliant in net, stopping 34 of 35 shots.

Brock MacDonald lead the defence with two assists.

Creston Valley Thunder Cats were in town Friday and managed to take the Steam into overtime, despite being out-played and outshot 44-30.

Creston scored shorthanded with five seconds remain-ing in regulation time to send the game into overtime.

However, Brett Harris scored his second of the night

with 14 seconds left in overtime to get the Steam’s third con-secutive win.

Harris, Semenoff and Bodeux all had three point nights for the winners.

The Steam lost the services of leading

scorer Jordan Boult-bee last week.

Boultbee has signed with the Pen-ticton Vees.

The Steam wish Jordan all the best and will miss his leader-ship and relentless work ethic.

The Steam are on the road for two games.

Then they are returning home to take on the power-ful Kelowna Chiefs on Tuesday Dec. 4 at 7:30 p.m.

Steam joins practiceOn Nov. 21, some of the Summerland Steam players joined the Summerland minor hockey asso-ciation pre-novice team for practice. At the left is Olli Dickson and at the right is Easton Bodeaux.

For Allan and Ronda Fabbi, a 34-day trek on a trail in Spain was a per-sonal challenge.

In September and October, they hiked the historic El Camino de Santiago trail. In English, the name translates to The Way of St. James.

Between 100,000 and 150,000 people hike the 825-kilo-

metre trail each year. For many Cath-

olics, it is a spiritual pilgrimage. For the Fabbis, it was a way to mark turning 60.

“It was a great a c c o m p l i s h m e n t being able to do it,” said Ronda Fabbi.

The Fabbis heard about the trail through Yasmin John-Thorpe and Rick Thorpe, who hiked it in 2010.

John-Thorpe later

wrote a book about the experience.

“She was our inspiration for doing it,” Alan Fabbi said.

The Fabbis began their preparations in February, looking for appropriate cloth-ing and footwear and training for the lengthy walk.

When they began the hike in St. Jean on Sept. 14, they soon discovered it was an ever-changing

experience.“The thing about

the Camino is it’s a metaphor of life,” Allan Fabbi said.

The trail, through the Pyrnees Moun-tains, changes from day to day and the weather ranged from warm and pleasant to cold and rainy. At times, there were steep climbs and steep descents.

Along they way, they stayed in hos-tels, in modest hotels or pensions and at a monastery for one night.

They said the hos-pitality along the way was impressive.

“Most commun-ities really embraced the Camino.”

When they arrived at the trail’s end on Oct. 17, it was a cold, wet day and they were drenched from their hike in Santiago, just 30 kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean.

“We were proud of what we had accom-plished,” Allan Fabbi said. “We walked every step of the way.”

A full account of their trek can be found online at fabbi-camino.tumblr.com.On the trail

Allan and Ronda Fabbi spent 34 days this fall hiking the El Camino de Santiago trail in Spain. The historic route covers 825 kilometres.
