WHAT’S INSIDE:

John Arendt

The municipal-ity’s Cultural Plan Task Force would like Summerlanders to share their ideas about local culture.

The input is need-ed as the members of the task force gather information

for a municipal plan for cultural develop-ment.

Five roving dis-play boards are being used to gather infor-mation and sugges-tions from the com-munity.

The boards will be seen at community

locations including the recreation cen-tre, the library, the art gallery and coffee shops.

The boards will have three questions.

1. What makes Summerland’s cul-ture unique com-pared to other Oka-

nagan communities?2. What cultural

strengths should Summerland build on?

3. What cultural activities would add to the quality of life in Summerland?

In addition, mem-bers of the task force

have been handing out questionnaires at the farmers’ markets and the Wednesdays on the Water concert series.

The survey is available online at fluidsurveys.com/s/survey2015.

Survey forms

are also available at Municipal Hall.

“We’re taking a decentralized approach to consulta-tion so we can hear from as many people as possible,” said Denese Espeut-Post, chair of the task force.

Cultural comments soughtA gruelling rideA total of 230 mountain bikers participated in this year’s Test of Humanity on Sunday. The event raised money for Canadian Humanitarian, a non-religious, non-profit organization providing for orphaned and vulnerable children in Ethiopia. See Page 12 for more information.

A message of inclu-siveness at two Sum-merland intersec-tions has come with a $3,900 price tag.

Earlier this month, two downtown crosswalks were painted in the col-ours of the rainbow flag as a show of support for those who are lesbian, gay,

bisexual and trans-gender.

The crosswalks are at the intersection of Main Street and Kelly Avenue and at the mid-block cross-ing on Victoria Road North, between Main Street and Jubilee Road West.

Don Darling, dir-ector of engineering

and public works for the municipality, said the crosswalk paint-ing cost $1,950 for each of the two cross-walks.

Aardvark Pave-ment Marking Servi-ces of Penticton did the work.

The cost of the intersections works out to 0.0344 per cent

of Summerland’s 2015 budget’s general fund of $11,327,346.

The crosswalks are based on the rainbow flag, which features horizontal bands of bright col-ours.

This flag has been used as an LGBT pride flag since the late 1970s.

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

Crosswalks cost $3,900Street crossingTwo colourful intersections, on Main Street and on Victoria Road North, cost the municipality $1,950 each. The crosswalks were painted earlier this month to show support for those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender.

POLICE rEPOrtVehicle strikes wall

On Sept. 17 at 12:50 p.m., police were called to a single vehicle accident at the Tim Hortons parking lot off Prairie Valley Road.

An elderly Summerland motorist stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake, crash-ing into a retaining wall.

The vehicle received significant damage as a result and had to be towed.

The driver and passenger were uninjured.Frauds continue

Summerlanders continued to receive calls from scammers posing as Canada Revenue Agency officials.

Over the past week, Summerland RCMP received 40 calls from residents who had received the calls.

The callers claim the target owes tax money. They then ask for bank information.

Police urge those who are contacted not to provide the information over the telephone.

Many of the calls originate outside of Can-ada.Vehicles entered

Police were called following thefts from vehicles throughout the community last week.

In all instances, the vehicles had been left unlocked and in some cases, the keys had been left inside the unlocked vehicles.

Police urge residents to lock their vehicles and to leave money and valuables out of sight.

Continued from Page 1“We want to get

out to where the people are, not expect them come to us.”

So far, more than 300 written surveys have been received. Online surveys have also been completed and submitted.

Espeut-Post said the surveys received so far are from all age groups, from youths to seniors.

They include responses from permanent residents, part-time residents and visitors.

The committee members will also hold workshops to gain more under-standing of the com-munity’s views.

The 15-mem-ber task force was formed in May. Its mandate is to consult with the community and develop a cultur-al plan.

Members intended to spend six months collecting feedback.

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

Variety of survey responses received

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

The Commun-ity Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen has received more than 1,500 responses to its 2015 Vital Signs sur-vey, twice the num-ber as were received last year.

The results will be released early next month as part of the biannual Vital Signs report.

“We’re very pleased with the level of engage-ment. Through social media, we’re reach-

ing more people in the South Okanagan and Similkameen, and they’re eager to have a say,” said Aaron McRann, executive director of the foundation. “The more responses we get, the better quality

the results.”The survey is con-

ducted by commun-ity foundations in 22 communities across Canada.

It measures how people believe their community is doing in 11 key areas includ-

ing health and well-ness, the environ-ment and housing.

In addition to the survey responses, a review of official sta-tistical research was completed to gather the most relevant and current data

available.“The Vital Signs

report is a compila-tion of public opinion and statistical data. It provides readers with

a balanced summary of where we’re at as

a com-munity,” McRann said.

T h e r e p o r t will be launched on Tues-day, Oct. 6 at the Shatford Centre in

Penticton.The public is invit-

ed to attend the free event from 4 to 6 p.m.

Vital Signs results will be released“The Vital Signs report is a compilation of public opinion and statistical data. It provides readers with a balanced sum-mary of where we’re at as a community.”

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

I’ve been an avid reader my whole life, so last year, when I learned the Sum-merland Library was about to get a new, larger facility, I was elated.

Books are good. More books are bet-ter.

Next week, staff at the Summerland library branch will be busy moving into a new, much larger facility. The new branch will open on Oct. 3.

I didn’t know anyone would ques-tion the new facility until I heard a com-ment from a friend, some time before the groundbreak-ing ceremony. “We don’t need a bigger library,” he said.

His statement caught me off guard. This is someone quite knowledgeable and extremely well-read. I’ve often respected his insights.

He must have noticed my puzzled expression because he added, “People are going to the Internet to find what they need.”

That’s true. A lot of information is already online, with more added all the time.

When I need to research a fact, I turn to the Internet first. I use online news sites to keep up with what’s happening provincially, nation-ally and internation-ally.

The online world contains more infor-mation than any brick and mortar library or chain of libraries. In a fraction of a second, a keyword search will often return millions of results.

Any topic imagin-able is out there somewhere.

Anyone can create content and post it online. It’s no longer the sole domain of publishing houses, music labels and film producers.

The speed of the online world means information can be posted immediately.

When it comes to online information, we can have it all and we can have it now.

Maybe my friend is right and the future of the library will be

a laptop, tablet or smartphone with Internet access.

The more I con-sidered this scenario, the less I liked it.

Information is worthless if it isn’t accurate, and not all the information online is true.

Consider the recent debate over vaccinations, which developed in part because information could be circulated quickly and easily

online. This was not a case of various inter-pretations of the same information; there was a question over whether some of the studies were credible.

There are also too many instances where information has been posted with-out any checks as to its accuracy. In some cases, this can cause lasting damage to one’s reputation.

Or, if one follows inaccurate informa-

tion about health and safety, the con-sequences can be ser-ious.

Sometimes a legit-imate site is hacked and the content is changed. Sometimes a counterfeit site, par-ody or spoof is taken as truth.

If inaccurate infor-mation is used, it becomes impossible to make a wise deci-sion or reach an intel-ligent conclusion.

The challenge

becomes separating the accurate informa-tion from the inaccur-ate or questionable.

There are some excellent resources to point the way to accurate information.

M e g a s o u r c e s , at pages.pathcom.c o m / ~ d t u d o r /megasources.htm, is one of the best places to start any search.

And if an email, meme or article seems questionable, there are sites such as www.snopes.com and www.hoax-slay-er.com to verify the information.

The growth of online information means the librarian’s role is becoming that of an information guide.

In response to my friend’s comment, this is why we need the libraries and librarians.

There’s plenty of information online, but now, more than ever, we need help determining if it is credible and accurate.

YOUR VIEWS

Members of the municipality’s Cultural Plan Task Force are asking the public for their thoughts on Summerland’s culture.

Throughout the summer, task force members have asked permanent resi-dents, part-time residents and visitors for their comments and at present, more than 300 written questionnaires have been received.

More responses have been submitted online.

This is a good start, but it’s not nearly enough.

It is important to bring in more voices during the consultation process.

The community has a population of more than 11,000 and receives thousands of visitors each year.

Everyone who lives here will be affect-ed by the proposed cultural plan.

This is a diverse community, encom-passing people of many backgrounds and many views.

Without participation from all seg-ments of the community, the information will be incomplete and the resulting plan may not be an accurate reflection of the views of the entire community.

The committee members have worked to gather responses.

Now it’s time for the public to get involved as well.

Five roving display boards will be set up at a number of community locations. The boards have questions about defining Summerland’s culture and setting prior-ities for the coming cultural plan.

While Summerland has a thriving arts community, culture extends far beyond the various facets of the arts.

Culture, in its various forms, affects all of us and Summerland’s culture defines us as a community.

We need to think about how we define our unique culture, how to strengthen what we have and which cultural activities would add to our quality of life.

The plan, when it is completed, will be our plan.

If it is to represent us accurately, we need to take time to respond.

EDITORIALConsidering culture

Information is worthless if it isn’t accurate, and not all the informa-tion online is true.

Silage 101The Experimental Farm worker on the horse drawn equipment is not creating a corn maze. Cutting the corn stalks was the first step in producing silage, a fermented fodder, which made it possible to provide cud-chewing animals such as cows and sheep with good food in winter when green forage isn’t available. Experimenting with animal feed resulted in the livestock program at the Farm being increased in the mid-1920s because of the need to utilize the food produced (plus the additional fertilizer was a useful by-product.) Modern equipment has reduced the manual (and horse) labour required in the production of silage, but cows haven’t noticed the difference.

Dear Editor:As a citizen of

Summerland for several years, I was stunned to find out about the proposal to put a Dollarama in this town.

I only heard about

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

Some of us don’t understand the need

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

Greed has now become a breeding ground for more of this behaviour by lar-ger corporations and our city let this hap-pen.

Continue to sup-port our local com-

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

Dear Editor:I sell water beads

at the Summerland Street Market under the name Pacific Aqua Beads.

Last Sunday I had a disaster! The wind blew my display over

and I lost 10 vases of beads. There were shards of glass and beads all over the road.

Just as I was think-ing “What am I going to do now,” two ladies showed up and asked ,”What can

we do to help?” They retrieved

a garbage pail, two brooms, and two dustpans.

Between the three of us we got the mess cleaned up quite quickly.

These two ladies were true saviours, I don’t know what I would have done without their help.

I didn’t even get their names but I hope they read your paper and accept my

heartfelt thanks for their assistance.

Their community spirit is truly com-mendable. Thank you, lovely ladies! You are my angels.

Dear Editor:Despite overcast

skies and windy weather, 176 Sum-merland residents (129 participants, 47 volunteers) came out on Sunday to support the 35th Annual Terry Fox Run.

The event raised just over $4,500, bringing the cumula-tive total that Sum-merland has raised for the Terry Fox Foundation to almost $60,000.

The atmosphere was both upbeat and reflective as partici-

pants spoke of family members and friends for whom they were running or walking.

Lloyd Hayes, the organizer of one of the first Terry Fox Runs in Canada in 1981, held the crowd’s undivided attention as he shared his memories of the Marathon of Hope and of meeting Terry Fox in person.

A special thank-you goes out to Lloyd Hayes, to Raj Gupta for emceeing the event, to the 13 Sum-merland Secondary

School students who helped with route marshalling and traf-fic control, and to the many other volun-teers, who helped set-up, register partici-pants, cut and serve refreshments and sell t-shirts.

We would also like to thank the local businesses and organizations that supported the event by providing refresh-ments, services, pro-motion and equip-ment.

The event could not run without the

support of our amaz-ing volunteers or local businesses.

Photos from the event can be found on the event’s Face-book page, Terry Fox Run 2015 – Summer-land. A few t-shirts are still available for purchase (please contact [email protected]).

The Terry Fox Run is always hosted on the second Sunday after Labour Day, the month chosen by Terry to reflect when he had to stop run-

ning and Canadians had to start. Next year’s run will be held Sunday, Sept. 18 - mark your cal-endars!

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

A: Root canals can be both good and bad. In this situation, the infection causing your pain was removed - which was a huge relief I am sure! If your pain was a 9 out of 10 before, the root canal likely lowered it to a 2 out of 10. You may need Ibuprofen or Tylenol to keep it comfortable for 2-3 days following your visit, but the worst is over. The purpose

of a root canal treatment is to rid the tooth of present infection. Your dentist may have given you antibiotics to

help clear this infection. Please ensure you finish your prescription even if your pain is gone.Root canals are also recommended sometimes for teeth with large cavities (holes) or following very deep fillings. These teeth often do not have a lot of tooth structure left. I always recommend protecting or covering a root canaled tooth with a crown. Teeth with root canals have a higher risk of fracture so protecting them is crucial. Although root canals have some benefits, it is ALWAYS better to avoid them when possible. Remove the decay before it gets too deep and needs the root canal. Cover that old filled tooth with a crown before it breaks and needs a root canal. Wear a sports guard to prevent tooth injury (and a root canal). Preventing root canals is always a better solution!

Do balanced budgets really matter?The federal elec-

tion campaign has produced a jumble of conflicting claims about whether or not Canada has a balanced budget or a deficit, how it was determined, and whether it even mat-ters.

The definitive word on this came out last week, with

the release of the Government of Can-ada Annual Financial Report, signed off by Auditor General Michael Ferguson.

“The government posted a budget-ary surplus of $1.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, compared to a budgetary deficit of $5.2 billion in 2013-

14,” the report says.“ R e v e n u e s

increased by $10.7 bil-lion, or 3.9 per cent, from 2013-14, reflect-ing increases across all major revenue streams. Program expenses increased by $5.2 billion, reflect-ing increases in major transfers to persons and other levels of government, offset in part by a decrease in direct program expenses.”

The Conservative government’s pre-election budget cal-culated that last year was in deficit, and this year would be the first in the black since 2008. Ottawa pundits say this “surprise surplus” was engineered with

intentionally pes-simistic budget esti-mates, so Prime Min-ister Stephen Harper would get a boost right about now.

Liberal leader Jus-tin Trudeau claimed last year’s surplus was partly generated by cuts to Veterans’ Affairs and Aborig-

inal Affairs. Wrong and wrong. Veterans’ Affairs spending was up 13 per cent, and Aboriginal Affairs spending rose nearly 30 per cent.

Trudeau has also insisted Canada is in recession now, which helps his suddenly adopted position that a Liberal government would run deficits for the next three years to build infrastructure.

Harper ran the big-gest deficits in Can-adian history after the 2009 crash, bailing out auto makers and building lots of “shov-el ready” infrastruc-ture, as did the U.S. and other countries.

The question raised by Trudeau’s plan is whether it’s a good idea to keep doing that without a financial crisis.

France, for example, has run operating deficits every year since the early 1970s, although the cur-rent Socialist govern-ment vows to balance the books by 2017. France’s operating debt is now equal to 91 per cent of its Gross Domestic Product.

Canada’s net debt-to-GDP ratio is cur-rently around 30 per cent, down from frightening levels in the 1990s before the Chrétien government finally balanced the budget.

(Fun fact: then-finance minister Paul Martin not only cut transfers to prov-inces, unlike the cur-rent government, he inflicted the largest-ever cuts to the CBC. Harper’s CBC cuts were part of govern-ment-wide reduc-tions, again due to that 2009 crisis.)

NDP leader Thom-as Mulcair has prom-ised to balance the budget every year of his mandate, should he form Canada’s first-ever socialist government.

He will spend the rest of the campaign trying to reconcile this promise with the grandiose spending plans he has piled up.

Meanwhile in B.C., Finance Min-ister Mike de Jong may have benefited from Harper’s low-ball budget. In his first quarter update

last week, de Jong reported that his Feb-ruary budget forecast is on track, with a $277 million surplus.

This is despite a $300 million bill for forest firefighting, thanks to personal and corporate income tax revenue expected to be $374 million higher than budget-ed. B.C. bases its tax revenue figures on federal estimates, and the ones they got early this year were clearly low.

Understated or not, this is a nice problem to have. De Jong says that at the current pace, B.C. will pay off its accumulated oper-ating debt by 2020.

The last time the province was free of operating debt was 1982.

The big debt peak came during the NDP 1990s, with another spike from 2009 to 2013 under the B.C. Liberals.

Dear Editor:Over the past two

decades the Liber-als, then the Con-servatives raided the Employment Insur-ance premium fund; by, get this, over $50 billion. That’s right – billion.

Workers and employers have paid into this with the expectation that they were buying insurance

in case they became unemployed. But these governments funnelled that into general rev-enue. In 2014 the Harp-er government con-tinued the process by bilking EI of $1.6 billion while they reduced claim payouts.

When insurance premiums go to gen-eral revenue that becomes a tax. So much for the “no tax”

governments. This $1.6 billion figure is basically the budget surplus the Conserv-atives are now boast-ing about in this elec-tion campaign.

The only major party that constantly opposes this is the NDP. They firmly advocate that any EI surpluses should be directed to – guess what – reducing unemployment.

Why shouldn’t all EI surpluses be directed to Canadian students learning useful trades and developing other critical skills? I call that an investment in our future; other leading countries invest in their youth.

The Conservatives call it a bad idea for their continuous re-election platform.

What do you think?

On Oct. 19 vote for change. Vote to invest EI premiums where they should have been for the last two decades. Vote for the NDP.

Review

Water is not neces-sary to create colour and beauty in your home landscapes, according to Eva Antonijevic, com-munity programs director for the Friends of the Sum-merland Ornamental Gardens.

“Drought- to ler-ant landscapes are not just gravel and yucca. They can be vibrant with colour,” she says, pointing to the Welcome Garden, where simple white flowers of a Japanese aster form a bright cloud beside the vibrant rose-coloured fleece flower, with a tall cluster of gold-en lace in the back-ground.

This is now a more drought-tolerant per-ennial bed, replanted in 2012 to “reflect the environmental ethics of today’s gar-deners,” comments Antonijevic.

“Gardens general-ly reflect the current mores of society,” she adds.

Before that it was a rose garden, but all the roses were lost in the winter of 2010-2011 and the decision was made to transi-tion it to experiment-al water-saving per-ennials.

There was a water savings of 63,000 litres of water in the first year, enough to fill a swimming pool.

Even if you’re not willing or able to cut

out all your water use on outdoor land-scapes, reducing the amount of out-side watering is just as important in the dry Okanagan val-ley, where water is a particularly pre-cious commodity, she believes.

Since Antonijevic started work at the 15-acre ornamental garden four years ago, she has taken steps to reduce water use, except in

the innovative 2.5-acre xeriscape gar-den started by Brian Stretch in 1991.

It’s still the first and largest xeriscape

d e m o n -strat ion g a r d e n in the country, she notes w i t h pride.

Efforts have also been made to water more effi-ciently elsewhere in the gardens.

For instance, an irrigation audit led to repairing and raising the sprink-ler heads in the turf areas, funded in part through an Oka-nagan Basin Water Board grant, and resulting in another 29 per cent water saving.

Antonijevic has applied for a separ-ate grant to hire a dedicated xeriscape gardener to continue garden renovations to reduce water needs and the expense of

annual beds. When she began at

the gardens, 14,000 annuals were planted each spring.

That said, there are a wide and colourful variety of drought-tolerant annuals as well, from popular zinnias and por-tulaca to alyssum, calendula, cosmos, geranium, marigolds, California and Shir-ley poppies, petunias, sunflowers and nas-turtium. And many can be started from seed.

In the coming year, the gardens will fea-ture a selection of plants highlighted at participating local garden centres as part of the Make Water Work Plant Collection, includ-ing thrift, lavender, sedum, coreopsis, blanket flower, catnip and thyme.

Meanwhile, you can go to the Make Water Work website for details: www.makewaterwork.ca/plants.

Looking for additional inspira-tion for your yard? Antonijevic recom-mends the Okanagan Xeriscape Association website (www.oka-naganxeriscape.org) which provides valu-able tips and advice about conserving water on your land-scape, but also a plant database of more than 400 drought-tol-

erant annuals, peren-nials, trees, vines and shrubs.

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

Take the pledge to Make Water Work at www.MakeWater-Work.ca.

Take the pledge to:o Water plants.

Not pavement.

o Water between dusk and dawn.

o Leave lawn five to eight centimetres tall

o Leave grass clip-pings as mulch

o Top dress with compost; and

o Change out some lawn for drought-tolerant turf and/or native and low-water variety plants.

Make Water Work is an initiative of the Okanagan Basin Water Board and its Okanagan Water-Wise program.

Pair water with plants suitable to climate

United Church, community work together to assemble packages

For the 10th year, Summerland United Church and the com-munity have worked together to make school kits to send to refugee and dis-placed children and to areas where disas-ters have occurred.

This year, more than 400 school bags will be taken to Van-couver to the Men-nonite Central Com-mittee for distribu-tion throughout the world.

The MCC sends school kits to places

including Syria, Zam-bia and Bosnia and Herzegovina where they are helping students and teach-ers with educational basics.

Throughout the year, local residents and congregation members sew the bags that are filled with notebooks, col-oured pencils, pen-cils, an eraser and a ruler.

These supplies are bought with dona-tions raised by the church’s Mission and Outreach Commit-tee.

Anyone who would like to be part of this project can contact Summerland United Church.

The school bags make a profound dif-ference to the lives of students and teach-ers trying to maintain schooling in difficult situations.

Many children will have only a limited opportunity to get an education before they must go out to work to help support their families. The more education they can receive, the better the chance they have of getting a better pay-ing job. This is why each school kit means so much.

S u m m e r l a n d United Church thanks the commun-ity for their con-tinued support of this important project.

@summerlandnews

In the weeks lead-ing up to the Oct. 19 federal election, the Summerland Review is asking a series of questions to the four candidates in the rid-ing of Central Oka-nagan-Similkameen-Nicola.

Why should we trust you and your party to represent us in Ottawa?

Dan Albas

ConservativesCanadians famous-

ly will recall the Liberal

party once promised, if elected, they would abolish the GST.

This is why trust is so important in this election.

Our government made a commitment to reduce the GST and we delivered on it. Eliminating the long gun registry, repealing the Canadian wheat board that only applied to western farmers & not farmers located in eastern Canada were also promises made that our Government delivered on.

More recently our government promised a balanced budget in 2015 and this week’s report of a $1.9 bil-lion surplus for the 2014-15 fiscal year demonstrate that once again our government delivers on our com-mitments.

Why is this import-ant?

Today Canadians have the lowest federal tax burden in decades and our commitment is that we will not take more of your money in increased taxes and send it to Ottawa.

The Conservative plan is the only one

promising low taxes and balanced budgets that support a strong economy.

Both the Liber-als and NDP are pro-posing to massively increase spending and taxes. This is not work-ing in Europe and will not work in Canada.

Our Conservative government has made record investments in infrastructure and locally has increased conservation areas.

Robert Mellalieu

GreensTrust is a very big

issue with voters. Voters see the cor-

ruption in government (not just bad mis-takes). I believe this is one of the main reasons that the voter

turnout is so low. The Green Party has

always been a beacon of solid science and facts. We make evi-dence based decisions.

Being a long time conservative before being Green I am very careful to ensure we can be accountable for the dollars and the environment — and to my amazement it works every time.

I have run my busi-ness for 23 years in the Okanagan. Many of my clients have been with me all those years.

I feel that is also very good evidence that I am trustworthy.

KarleyScottLiberals

I have spent the last

several years work-ing towards becoming a lawyer and I value being able to speak my mind.

I believe that cau-cus should be filled with critical, independ-ent thinkers who have the ability to disagree without being dis-agreeable and a leader who welcomes con-trasting ideas.

This riding deserves a representative who has these skills and the freedom to exer-cise them in Ottawa. I believe I am that per-son.

I spent the last sev-eral years working towards becoming a lawyer and I did not put that on hold to pursue a career that would stifle my voice.

I am also a strong believer in using fact and evidence to inform decision-making.

The Liberal Party of Canada has a plan to invest in growth and Canadians because that is what Canadians are telling us and it is what the evidence concludes.

I am committed to using my skills to stand up for this riding

in Ottawa and the Lib-eral Party of Canada is committed to making decisions based on evidence.

Those two factors are fundamental and I hope they instil the degree of confidence you will need to place your trust in me.

AngeliqueWood

New DemocratsThe NDP knows

that we need to work on our economic sta-bility, and we need to refocus the priorities from subsidizing the gas and oil industry back into our coun-tries’ citizens who have worked hard their whole lives.

The Parliament-ary Budget Office has released a report which shows that the NDP has the best track record in Can-ada, of both provincial and federal parties for balanced budgets.

We can’t even believe the Harper Conservatives when they tell us we’re not in a recession when the impartial reports tell us that we are actually in a reces-sion.

C o m m u n i t y Futures Okanagan Similkameen has appointed Sheilagh Seaton as the board chair.

Seaton was appointed at the annual general meet-ing on Sept. 15.

She takes over the role from Jaymie Atkinson of Princet-on.

“I am honoured to be appointed the Chair of the CFOS Board and I am enthusiastic about working with our tal-ented board members and staff as we con-tinue to be a catalyst in our region for eco-nomic development, e n t re p re n e u r s h i p and training,” Seaton said.

“These elements are key to building healthy and strong communities and I am pleased to have the opportunity to contribute to suc-cess of the CFOS in its effort to provide this support for our region.”

In addition, new members were appointed to the board.

The new mem-

bers are K e l l y M a r -shall of S u m -m e r -l a n d , G i l S z a b o of Pen-t i c t o n , D a n

Bauer of Osoyoos, Tara Atkinson of Princeton and Brenda Gould of Hedley.

Rory McIvor and George Stayberg, both of Penticton, have retired from the board. Both have served since 1984.

Other retiring members were Linda Larson of Oliver, Jeff Rowe of Keremeos, and Jack Lank, Barb Sheppard and Jane Coady, all from Pen-ticton.

C o m m u n i t y Futures marked its 30th anniversary last year,

Since its inception, Community Futures has invested more than $30 million in small businesses in the region and has assisted with the expansion and start-up of more than 1,500 businesses.

Community Futures names Seaton as chair

I once had a cus-tomer that visited the library every day. He was a short, little fellow but his heart was as big as the sky. Every day he would come into the library and I would ask “How are you today?” He would reply without fail “Bordering on the Magnificent!”

No matter what sort of day he was having, the answer was always the same.

I must admit, most days at the library are pretty great.

We have the envi-able task of answering questions, recom-mending fabulous books, encouraging

learning and watch-ing new readers enter the magical realm of reading. What a job!

In the late 1990s we discovered that our little library was, well, a bit too little for our commun-ity. We were just too cramped.

It was about this time that the little fellow with the big heart got together a few others and start-ed the Friends of the Summerland Library Society.

Some of you may know that I’m talking

about Cam Carmi-chael and his famous determination.

The FOSLS (as they are lovingly known) began advocating for a larger library space. They started having book sales of donat-ed books, accepting bequests and dona-tions towards the cause.

Fast forward 15 years, several failed attempts to relocate and many, many book sales and the FOSLS are ready to support the ORL as they move into the

new library on Main Street.

Over the years, the FOSLS have shown their commitment to the library time and time again.

As proposals for new spaces came and went, the group kept a positive attitude and a solid belief in the value of the library to our com-munity.

Taking a page from the FOSLS playbook, the library staff made a decision several years ago to change our thinking.

We stopped think-ing about what we couldn’t do and start-ed thinking about what we could do.

We stopped think-ing about how often we bumped into loaded book trolleys and started think-ing about how well our team could work together.

We started brain-storming creative ways to make our lit-tle library shine and changed our motto to “Go Big or Go Home!”

It’s amazing to realize how much dif-ference a little change in thinking can make.

The FOSLS have been beside us all the way, helping at kids programs, hosting author visits, walk-

ing in the parade and squirrelling away book sale funds 25 cents at a time.

It’s hard to believe that our new library is almost ready. We know that for all the FOSLS, customers and staff that have been ‘wishin’ and ‘hopin’ and ‘thinkin’ and ‘prayin’, ‘plan-nin’ and ‘dreamin’ for opening day – it truly will be “Bordering on the Magnificent”.

Join us on Oct. 3 at 9:30 a.m. for the grand opening of the new library at 9533 Main Street.

Sue Kline is the Community Librar-ian at the Summer-land Branch and thinks every day has the potential to be magnificent!

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

The Summerland Museum’s newest exhibit, Technology, will showcase more than 100 years of technological history.

The exhibit opens Sept. 30 from 6 to 8 p.m. Visitors can try their hand at using Morse Code on the electric telegraph,

play some early computer games on floppy disks, and hear the sounds of a hand-cranked 1915 phonograph.

The exhibit cov-ers technology from antique cameras and typewriters to some funky telephones from the 1980s and 1990s.

Exhibit shows changes in technology

A molecular oncol-ogist will discuss wireless technology at a public talk on Wednesday evening.

Dr. Malcolm Pater-son will present “Hooked on Wire-less Technology: Are these gadgets harm-ing us and getting out of control?”

The talk will be held at the IOOF Hall on Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. It is organized by Sum-merland Citizens for Safe Technology. The group was formed in 2007 over concerns about microwave cel-lular towers in Sum-

merland.Paterson will talk

about concerns over the use of wireless devices, the radiation emitted and its poten-tial impact on health.

In his career span-ning 40 years, Pater-son has authored 168 scientific articles, spoken at 120 scien-tific meetings and lec-tured at medical cen-tres and universities.

The presentation is free, although dona-tions are accepted to cover meeting costs. For more information about the event, please call 250-494-4086.

The Test of Human-ity is all about giving. This is clearly evident by the many volun-teers, organizations, businesses and par-ticipants that come together on race day.

The fifth annual Test of Humanity was held on Sunday, with a total of 230 mountain bike riders taking part in the dif-ferent race categories.

Organizers of the event, Nic and Shei Seaton of Sum-merland reported that approximately $210,000 has been raised over the last five years.

All of the money raised from pledges and entrance fees is donated to Canadian Humanitarian, a non-religious, non-profit organization that pro-vides for orphaned and vulnerable chil-dren in Ethiopia. The founder of the organ-ization, Dr. Richard Northcott is also involved with put-ting on the event.

Shei Seaton, who teaches at Okanagan College, took a group of students to Ethi-opia to do humanitar-ian work and when they returned home

they all wanted to do more.

They decided to try and do a mountain bike race and after two years of working towards that goal the first Test of Human-ity Race was held.

“In 2011 we started supporting Canadian Humanitarian with this bike race and it’s had huge com-munity support since

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

why we continue.”The annual event

has been designed for the whole family with categories and courses for mountain bike riders of all ages and abilities.

To accommodate as many as possible the race is divided into five main categories, the Half-Hour Test (ages three to six), the One-Hour Test (ages seven to 10), the Two-Hour Test (ages 11-15), the Test Ride (one lap for ages 16 and over) and the Four-Hour Test (ages 16 and over).

The course for the 4 Hour Test is a 9.7

kilometre loop trail that provides a bit of everything for the rid-ers, including curves, hills and a beautiful view of Summerland and Okanagan Lake. It requires strength as well as speed and is not only fun but tech-nical too.

Some changes were made to the course this year.

“We moved the trail over. There is a very popular hiking trail that leads up into the Test of Human-ity course that has been there for years and we thought with the amount of bikes that were now

on the course, that we’d leave that to the horses and hikers. We moved the trail up,” explained Nic Sea-ton. “We added 1.5 kilometre of trail to the course and now it’s separate which is great and it’s actually really good fun and everybody likes it a lot.”

For the riders tak-ing part in the races, not only do they get to do something that they love to do, but they also know they are contributing to a good cause and giv-ing back.

One such young cyclist, Chloe Harr-

old, who completed the Two-Hour Test, said,

“It’s a great course. They put so much work into it. The race is really fun to do.”

Riders in the youth categories had a considerably shorter ride than the adults. Youth times ranged from the Half-Hour Challenge for the youngest riders to a Two-Hour challenge for those between 11 and 15 years of age.

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

Full house expected at forumFederal election candidates to speak on Oct. 5

Summerland’s All Candidates Forum is expected to draw a large number of resi-dents eager to hear the views of their rid-ing’s candidates.

The Summerland Chamber of Com-merce and the Sum-merland Review are co-hosting the event on Oct. 5 at Centre Stage Theatre, 9518 Main St.

Doors will open at 6 p.m. and the forum will begin at 6:30 p.m.

The four candi-dates for Member of Parliament in the re-drawn riding of the Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola will answer ques-tions.

The candidates participating are Dan Albas of the Con-servative Party, Rob-ert Mellalieu of the Green Party, Karley Scott of the Liberal Party and Angelique Wood of the New Democratic Party.

The event will be moderated by Erick Thompson, a busi-ness owner and member of the Sum-

Selected questions will be chosen by the moderator and the editor of the Review.

Questions for the candidates can be submitted by email to John Arendt, the Editor of the Sum-merland Review, at [email protected], or to the Executive Direc-tor of the Chamber of Commerce, Chris-tine Petkau, at [email protected].

The deadline for emailed questions is Oct. 4.

Questions may also be dropped off at the Summerland Review office at 13226 Vic-toria Rd. N or at the Summerland Cham-ber Office at 15600 Hwy. 97 by close of business Oct. 2.

The moderator will explain the rules and format to the candidates and the audience prior to the question and answer period.

Food bank donationGwen Redfern, left, and Ev Crane, right, of the Summerland Golf and Country Club Ladies’ Club present $500 and a food donation to Tara Hollas of the Summerland Food Bank. The food was collected during the four-lady team scramble golf event. A total of 144 women attended the tournament on Sept. 15.

Sarah Cornett-Ching, a NASCAR K and N Pro Series and ARCA Racing Series driver has a new partnership with the Tim Horton Chil-dren’s Foundation.

To launch the new relationship, Cornett-Ching, of Summer-land, will have a spe-cial paint scheme on the No. 2 Chevrolet at the Kentucky Speed-way on Sept. 25.

The paint scheme features the founda-tion’s Send A Kid To Camp campaign.

“This is an exciting opportunity for me and my team,” Cor-nett-Ching said in a team statement. “It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Tim Hor-tons, and to have the chance to represent them with our No. 2 Tim Horton Chil-dren’s Foundation Chevrolet is a huge honour.”

Representat ives from the foundation were also pleased with the partnership.

“We at the Tim Horton Children’s

Foundation are very excited to be work-ing with Sarah and her team for the upcoming ARCA race at Kentucky and beyond,” said Jacob Chewning, general

manager at Tim Hor-ton Camp Kentahten. “Sarah possesses a lot of the qualities that we teach at our camps, which makes her a great fit for our organization. We

look forward to driv-ing awareness and involvement with our camps and grow-ing our partnership together for the fore-seeable future.”

The Tim Horton

Children’s Founda-tion is committed to providing enriching camp experiences that develop lifelong skills for children and youth from low-income families.

The organiza-tion maintains seven campsites across the United States and Canada, including Camp Kentahten in Campbellsville, Kentucky, a short drive from Kentucky Speedway.

“I had the oppor-tunity to hear some of the stories from campers at Camp Kentahten last week and it was heart-warming to hear all the neat things they do at camp,” said Cornett-Ching.

“There are so many things they never get the opportunity to experience in their young lives, but the camp environment makes it possible for them. It’s inspiring to see their faces light

up when they learn something new or do something they never thought possible.”

In an effort to boost the Send A Kid To Camp campaign, Cornett-Ching will also carry an in-car camera for the Fox Sports 1 broadcast of the Kentucky event featuring the founda-tion’s logo and web-site where fans can make donations to the Foundation.

Donations of all sizes are accepted and fans may also choose to donate their time as a camp volunteer as well.

The Kentucky Speedway where Cornett-Ching will debut the new part-nership is the pen-ultimate round for the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards.

The race, featur-ing the THCF in-car camera, can be seen live on Friday night on Fox Sports 1.

Cornett-Ching teams up with Tim Hortons

Race partnershipSarah Cornett-Ching of Summerland has teamed up with the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation. On Sept. 25, her car will feature the foundation’s Send A Kid To Camp campaign.

The Naramata Cider Co. will part-ner with Sun N’ Sup Paddleboards and the Naramata Playschool Society to celebrate Nara-mata’s longstand-ing tradition – The Regatta.

The race will be held Sept. 26 in Mani-tou Park.

Cider, sausages and old-school cider social fun runs are from noon to 4 p.m., complimenting a new era of the Naramata Regatta via Sun N Sup’s Amazing Race

which kicks off at 8:30 a.m.

The festivities will include a gour-met Oyama sausage, entertainment, regat-ta races, paddleboard demos and old-school orchard fun and games.

Proceeds from ticket sales go to the Naramata Playschool Society.

Tickets for the regatta can be pur-chased at narama-tacider.com or at the Naramata General Store.

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Fran (Frances) Mary Labossiere. Our breaking hearts will hold dear the wonderful memories of Fran, as a devoted and much loved wife, mother, grandma, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. Family was paramount in Fran’s life. As a friend, you were welcomed into her fold as extended family. Fran and Mic were the most gracious hosts to all, and their home in Trout Creek was oft en full with any number of family and friends.

Food, there was always delicious food generously shared with all. Fran will forever be cherished by husband, Mic, son Mark and grandson Adam; son Ken, daughter- in- law, Debbie, granddaughter Sydney and her husband Kelly (Frame) and granddaughter Jennifer; son Steven, grandson Connor and granddaughter Angela; daughter Wendy and son-in-law, Bruce (Crowe) and grandson, Bradley.

Her passion was the Summerland Healthcare Auxillary Th rift Shop and in lieu of fl owers we ask for donations to be made to this wonderful charity at 13216 North Victoria Road, Summerland, BC, V0H 1Z0. Fran’s wonderful spirit and love

of life will never be forgotten.

Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’! Only you older folks will remember the Rawhide TV show, but this was the best way for me to do my business. Buy a car, sell a car, keep those doggies moving! And, if a buyer found out about the prob-lems I’d hidden? Too late, I’d already hit the trail! And my cell-phone? Pick a num-ber, any number!

After rolling my way through the communities of the Th ompson, the Okana-gan was perfect. More cities where I could buy, sell and run. So I settled into my RV in a campground by the lake and

searched the web for invento-ry. It’s easy to turn junkers into cash when you’re willing to lie.

I also looked at my tired old RV. I knew I wouldn’t need it during the winter in the Lower Mainland. And, who wouldn’t want to make a wad of cash while on va-cation instead of spending it? So I spent some time giv-ing it a good scrub

down and upgrading the tires. Made it look real nice.

But, it had way too many ki-lometers on it. It had defi nite-ly crossed the Prairies a few times. Th en again, who needs

to know? I didn’t think twice as I rolled the odometer just a tad to hide some of that trail dust. In typical curber fash-ion, I left no traces of what I’d done. To a trusting buyer, I was giving them a great deal! Like making a silk purse from a sow’s ear…

As always, lady luck was on my side. I met an older cou-ple in the campground where I was staying. Th ey told me a

sad story about their trailer – apparently, they bought it off a private seller before coming on vacation. Just a month lat-er, the electrical system was failing. Th ey’d been trapped for a week trying to track down the seller and fi nd their way home. Th eir crisis was my opportunity!

I played the friendly next-door neighbour. I could help them with the perfect RV to

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

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

Deciding between buying privately or from a licensed dealer? Buying from a private seller might have one perceived benefi t – lower price. But, even that can disappear when look-ing at the risks, especially if the private seller is actually a curb-er – an unlicensed dealer inten-tionally breaking all the rules.

Unlike private sellers, li-censed dealers must be trans-parent in their selling practic-es. Th is means they must sell vehicles in a clear and open manner while standing behind any representations they make. Dealers can’t withhold infor-mation that would cause errors in judgment about whether or not to buy the vehicle.

Licenced dealers must also follow strict selling standards. Only licensed salespeople who pass a background check and a certifi cation course are allowed to sell vehicles. Dealers must declare prior out-of-province registrations and vehicle uses (if it was a lease, rental, taxi

or emergency vehicle). Prior damage, above certain limits, must also be disclosed before purchase. And, licensed dealers are obligated to sell vehicles that meet all safety require-ments and are free of unpaid liens.

As part of being licensed, dealers contribute to a cus-tomer compensation fund that regularly settles eligible claims around the province. Dealers also off er extra services and savings such as fi nancing and warranty options. And, there’s a sales tax advantage when trading-in a vehicle at a deal-er. Licensed dealers make an investment in their staff , op-erations, reputation and their community.

Curbers escape doing any of the above. And, the Vehicle Sales Authority can assist only with purchases from licensed dealers. If something goes wrong with a private sale, you’re on your own. Learn more at the vehiclesalesauthority.com.

Curbers may get junk cars and sell them from parking lots while posing as private sellers. They advertise through local newspapers and online ads. They may not disclose the vehicle history to the buyer, hiding serious accident

damage or even a rolled back odometer. Licensed dealers are required by law to sell safe, lien-free vehicles and disclose vehicle histories. If you buy from Walt, you have none of the protections of buying from a licensed dealer.

Curbers are individuals and businesses selling vehicles for profit without a licence

CURBERS SELL VEHICLES THAT MAY BE UNSAFE OR STOLEN!
