Ashton wins ridingElection night celebrationLiberal candidate Dan Ashton talks to supporters at his election-night headquarters at the Penticton Ramada Inn and Suites Tuesday night. He was declared the winner about 10 p.m. with half the polls reporting in. With him is daughter Chantal.

Penticton mayor elected here while B.C. Liberals win fourth mandate

by Steve Kiddand John Arendt

Dan Ashton started his election night off biting his nails.

It wasn’t, though, because the B.C. Liberal candidate was nervous about the election, or even the results of the hockey game playing on the big-screen TV at the Penticton Ramada Inn, where friends and sup-porters were gathering to watch the election results come in.

“I’ve got a hangnail I’m trying to get rid of,” said Ashton, who had put a hard day in work-ing the phones and get-ting the vote out in the riding.

He was successful and by 10 p.m. he had been

declared winner in the Penticton riding.

Ashton, however, was cautious though happy at the news.

“I sure hope the experts are right,” he said, com-menting that only about half of the 184 polls in the riding had reported in so far.

By the end of the even-ing, the trend shown in the earlier results con-tinued.

Ashton received sup-port from 45.83 per cent of voters. Next was New Democratic Party candi-date Richard Cannings with 40.3 per cent voter support. Sean Upshaw of the Conservatives received 9.25 per cent of the vote while Doug Max-well of B.C. First received support from 4.62 per cent of voters.

Ashton’s election mir-rored what was happen-ing across the province, with the polls in Pentic-

ton closer than expected earlier in the campaign. Ashton was still running neck and neck with NDP candidate Dick Cannings when a Liberal major-ity had been declared in B.C.

By midnight, the Liber-als were elected or lead-ing in 50 of the province’s 85 ridings while the New Democrats were elected or leading in 33 ridings. One riding was won by an independent candi-date and one went to the Green Party.

The election is the fourth consecutive major-ity for the Liberals, who have formed the prov-incial government since 2001.

From six months before the election, poll-ing had indicated an NDP victory, though their margin narrowed to seven per cent as election day neared.

Friday market considered

The Summerland Chamber of Com-merce is open to a Friday evening mar-ket in Summerland this summer, but the chamber will not coordinate such an initiative.

Speaking to muni-cipal council on Mon-day evening, cham-ber manager Chris-tine Petkau said the board would like to see the Summerland

Merchants’ Group or a private vendor manage an evening market.

“It wasn’t some-thing we could take on within the cham-ber,” she said.

At present, Sum-merland has a farm-ers’ market on Tues-day mornings. This market which con-tinues through Octo-ber, is privately man-aged.

Tourism activity adds revenue

Tourism in Sum-merland is continu-ing to bring visitors to the community, according to statis-tics from the Sum-merland Chamber of Commerce.

Chamber man-ager Christine Pet-kau said there are around 9,000 visitors a year, according to records from the Visitor Information Centre.

She added that

figures from the Thompson Okanag-an Tourism Asso-ciation place the estimated value of tourism on Summer-land’s economy at $50 million a year.

For 2013, the chamber is working to develop a special tourism website, sep-arate from the cham-ber’s existing web-site, to promote tour-ism opportunities and amenities.

Funding for youth workRobert Beers, left, president of the Summerland Kiwanis Club, presents a $1,000 cheque to Eric Scramstad and Alyson Lindsay of the Summerland Asset Development Initiative. The organiza-tion works with youth in the community.

Intergenerational experienceSummerland Middle School students and residents at Summerland Seniors Village have been meeting together over the past eight years. The intergenerational program started as a literacy project, with students reading to the seniors, but it soon became a social function and a time for dialogue between the students and seniors. There are 26 students and 15 seniors participating. Some of the residents of Summerland Seniors Village have been participating for the entire time the program has run.

Continued from Page 1“I am too old to

be surprised by any of this anymore,” said Liberal organ-izer Mark Ziebarth, speaking of the local race. “I am surprised that the Liberal party, in all 85 ridings, appears to be doing much better than anyone expected.”

In Penticton, Ash-ton said he knew it was going to be a close vote after the writ had dropped and no Green candi-date stepped forward

to run in the riding. No vote split-

ting on the left and B.C. Conservative Sean Upshaw draw-ing off about 10 per cent of the right-wing vote was definitely a bonus for NDP candi-date Dick Cannings.

“I knew it was going to be close here and it was close,” Cannings said as the votes were being calculated. “It was a very interesting race locally. We’re still waiting for the final results.”

B.C. First candi-date Doug Maxwell said voters were reluctant to embrace his platform, which called for an end to party politics.

“It’s difficult to put forward a new con-cept,” he said, but added that he plans to continue his mes-sage in the future.

Conservative can-didate Sean Upshaw said he had no regrets after the election.

“My motives were to contribute to the good of the riding,”

he said. “I do wish the citizens of the rid-ing well.”

By late evening, after most of the votes had been counted, Ashton reflected on the work ahead as he prepares for his role in provincial politics.

“My full attention will be on this rid-ing,” he said. “I look forward to repre-senting this riding in Victoria.”

He said his team of volunteers and the voters helped to seal the victory for him.

Ashton’s victory means the City of Penticton will have one more election to deal with. Ash-ton took a leave of

absence from his pos-ition as mayor to run, and now plans to step down. City council will be meeting in the near future to decide

how and when the byelection will be handled, but Ashton has already agreed to pay the costs, up to an amount of $35,000.

Byelection needed for Penticton mayor

VICTORIA – Another elec-tion campaign has come and gone, with the ritual posturing of political parties and most news media searching for any-thing they can portray as a conflict.

Now comes the time to wonder why not enough people cared, or informed t h e m s e l v e s about the real problems of running this $40 billion cor-poration called the B.C. govern-ment.

Why would they, when the whole thing is presented as a combination of beauty contest and sports event, with endless discussion of polls and “attack ads” and who’s ahead and what’s the score?

Again we have seen the truth of former prime minister Kim Campbell’s observation that elections are no time to talk about serious issues.

Indeed, there are some things you can’t speak of at all.

Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm caused a stir at a candi-dates’ debate when he referred to constituents’ concerns that disabled children can cause dif-ficulties in classrooms.

He didn’t say classrooms should be segregated, although that’s a discussion worth hav-ing.

He didn’t deny the need for more support for special needs kids.

But his opponents immedi-ately portrayed it that way,

and media seized on the conflict despite the factual inaccuracy.

West Vancouver-Capilano MLA Ralph Sultan had a simi-lar experience when he referred to his study of poverty in that affluent area.

He noted that there was a high correlation between sin-gle parenthood and kids in poverty.

Picking on single mums, his detractors exclaimed, and that’s what got reported.

The B.C. Conservatives kicked their Boundary-Similka-meen candidate out of the party because he wrote an article say-ing women shouldn’t choose to be single mothers.

You can talk about child poverty, as long as you only discuss it based on federal statistics that do not measure poverty.

Christy Clark started doing this as soon as she became B.C. Liberal leader, one of several issues where she dispensed with the facts and tried to copy a popular NDP stance instead.

She was all about families, which can of course be single people, single parents or pretty well anything you want them to be. 

In fact the decline of the trad-itional family and the abdica-tion of responsibility by many parents, fathers in particular, are central factors in the prob-lem of poor and neglected chil-dren.

But you can’t talk about that, at least not during elec-tions.

Whole areas of political dis-

cussion have devolved into euphemisms that are chosen because they can’t be defined.

Everybody’s in favour of “affordable housing,” for instance.

What they won’t admit is that this is code for subsidized housing, because then they would have to talk about how much the subsidy is, and who has to pay for it.

Good grief, that might raise the question of whether the state should be taking money away from some people and giving it to others so they can live where they otherwise couldn’t afford to live.

We even have rules pre-venting the media from report-ing polls on election day. People might be influenced by this, you see.

If you tell them Party X is far ahead, they might stay home and mow the lawn instead.

If you tell them some-one is making a comeback, they might change their vote because they want to be on the winning side, or the one that has “momentum.” Just like any other sport.

The news media are stead-ily losing influence with the public.

There are many factors involved, including the vast array of information sources that are available at most people’s fingertips.

Another factor is treating the public like they’re idiots.

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

Residents of the South Oka-nagan know the Penticton Region-al Hospital is badly in need of an expansion.

The hospital is 62 years old and was built when the city and region had a much small-er population.

The deci-sion to expand the hospital should have been made as a matter of course, a way to address a present and future need.

Instead, it became a campaign point in the provincial election.

The specifics of health care delivery must not become polit-ical bargaining tools.

culls

Once again, students from around British Columbia gathered in Summerland for the Good Will Shake-speare Festival.

The festival is a celebration of all things theatrical and it shows the students the opportunities which exist for those interested in the arts.

Some who have participated in the festival as students in the past have gone on to develop careers in the arts.

ourpickThe tone

of debateThe provincial election on

Tuesday should be remem-bered not so much for the final outcome as for the way in which the campaigns and responses were conducted.

The tone of dialogue local-ly was much more civil and restrained than in previous elections. Gone was much of the rhetoric which has accompanied many elections.

As in past campaigns, some of the candidates, letter writ-ers and others commenting chose to focus on a party’s record or a candidate’s previ-ous public decisions or state-ments. Such comments are appropriate as long as they do not become broad gen-eralizations or attacks on a candidate’s character.

Personal attacks and nega-tive campaigns, at any level, may help to reinforce a position held by party faithful, but they are ineffective in drawing voters from one party to another. Few if any will change their views because someone has ridiculed or belittled their position.

The provincial elec-tion on Tuesday was not a foregone conclusion at the provincial level or in the rid-ing of Penticton. Going into the election, there was no way of knowing which of the two dominant parties would win the riding or form the next provincial government. A lot was at stake for both the Liberals and the New Democrats.

One does not need to look back many years to see examples of more highly charged elections and nega-tive campaigns at the federal, provincial and municipal levels.

Often, the adversarial tone would continue after the election as the resulting gov-ernment, the public or both were polarized and divided on issues where compromise and dialogue were needed.

We hope the campaign and pre-election discussion, as it played out in Summerland, is the way future elections will be conducted.

Whether this happens will be seen the next time an elec-tion is held.

The early years

Crank it up and goMr. and Mrs. Aoki and their sons, Nobukatsu and Masao, look like they are about to go somewhere. If it weren’t for the fact that the photo was taken in 1927, we’d have a suggestion for them. Since May is Asian Heritage Month and May 18 is International Museum Day, this is a great time to head over to the Summerland Museum and enjoy our new exhibit featuring the Japanese Community. The museum is open Wednesday to Saturday from 1 to 4 and there’s plenty of room to park.

Hospital expansion to benefit economyby John Arendt

An expansion to the aging Pentic-ton Regional Hospi-tal would provide a boost to the region’s economy as well as an improvement in

health care.The ambulatory

care tower at the hos-pital has a projected cost of $300 million, with 60 per cent of the funding to come from the province and the rest from

regional taxpayers and the local hospital foundation.

Mayor Janice Per-rino, who is also the chair of the Regional Hospital District for the Regional Dis-trict of Okanagan

Similkameen and the executive director of the South Okanagan Medical Foundation., said the expansion is badly needed.

“The hospital is desperately out-dated and needs to

be expanded,” she said. “This was built before televisions were in our homes.”

At its peak, the expansion would pro-vide 600 jobs. Once it is completed, the hos-pital would need to

attract skilled, trained people to fill technic-al jobs resulting from the project.

Around 40 per cent of the jobs will come from outside of Pen-ticton.

Perrino said she

will work to ensure the hospital tower will be constructed now that the provin-cial election is over.

“It’s what is right for our region,” she said of the expan-sion.

A Summerland construction com-pany has received Certified Green Roof-er designation from GAF, the largest roof-ing manufacturer in North America.

Valley Wide Home Improvements Ltd. received the designa-tion last week.

As part of the designation process, the company partici-pated in training on

green roofing tech-nology including the contributions the roofing system makes to a green home, tech-niques for improving indoor air quality through proper attic

ventilation, prepar-ing a roof for solar energy and asphalt shingle recycling.

“Achieving Certi-fied Green Roofer status is another proud accomplish-

ment for us here at Valley Wide Home Improvements Ltd. in our continuing drive to raise the bar of professionalism in the Okanagan roofing industry,” said David

Gottwald, president of the construction business.

He said some of the green roofing methods, such as separating his wastes for the landfill, are

more expensive and time consuming, but will be better deci-sions.

“It comes with more effort, but it will serve me well in the long run,” he said.

Parents and Sports

A vast majority of Parents who have children involved in sports are supportive, considerate and in it for the children. It is the exception to this rule that grabs the headlines. There has been a huge increase in the number of lawsuits involving Parents, Coaches and Leagues. Of those, most are initiated by unhappy Parents who feel that their child has been treated unfairly for one reason or another by their child's Coach. Thankfully, this unfair treatment rarely means physical or emotional abuse.

The sad comment on our society is that more and more Parents are resorting to the courts to resolve issues that should not be anywhere near the court system. Somehow those Parents feel that a Coach (a volunteer in 99% of the cases) should be held responsible for huge damages because their child did not progress to the professional level and the unbelievable salaries that pro athletes receive these days. Many Coaches who have gone through this experience never volunteer again. It is truly a sad comment on our society.

As Gordon Fitzpa-trick sits in his office at Cedar Creek Estate Winery, he watches out over an amazing view of Okanagan Lake and marvels at the spectacular area of the world he is operating his winery out of.

Cyclists cruise by on their bikes as the sun pierces down and begins its rise toward the 30 degree mark, bringing more activity onto Oka-nagan Lake, filling up area golf courses and heating up the region known primarily for its great weather.

“As I look out my window I just think what a wonderful playground we live in,” says Fitzpatrick, the 52-year-old presi-dent of Cedar Creek. “First of all the cli-

mate is unbelievable and with the lake and the mountains and the wine and the culinary scene, it’s all very excit-ing. We are turning heads internation-ally. But we have other world class tourism products in the region. The ski-ing, the golf, there are safaris where you can watch grizzly bears. There is the adven-ture tourism and eco-tourism and the (cyc-ling) gran fondos. It’s an extremely desir-able place that most people don’t know about and that’s one of our challenges: We need to make people more aware of what’s here.”

And that chal-lenge is being taken on by the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA), the regional tourism group that represents

the region’s 3,200 tourism operators. For the past two years TOTA has been working with all of its stakeholders, devel-oping a new 10 year plan to help the tour-ism industry grow from what is now a seasonal industry to one that can sustain itself outside of the four month peak per-iod.

According to TOTA, every stake-holder that works in tourism and every jurisdiction in the region has signed off on the plan that asks for cooperation rather than compe-tition amongst the tourism operators in the Thompson Oka-nagan.

“We need tourism operators to see that the competition is not in the room or across the street but in fact the competi-tion is in Arizona, or New Zealand or Australia,” says Glenn Mandziuk, the president and CEO of the Thompson Oka-nagan Tourism Asso-ciation.

“There has to be a principle that in order to achieve suc-cess we need to work together. We need to package together and promote togeth-er because the goal is to get on the radar screen of visitors and get them to come to the area.”

In the office of the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association, Mandziuk points out a map of the region, one of six tourism regions in the prov-ince. It’s massive, roughly the size of Ireland, and its fea-tures span both ends of the spectrum, from the mountain peak of Mt. Robson, to the dessert climes of Osoyoos. TOTA rep-resents 90 commun-ities and hamlets, 28 First Nations groups and over 3,000 tour-ism operators. There are nine ski hills, almost 90 golf cours-es and 125 winer-ies. There are 15,000 full-time equivalent jobs in tourism in the region and it gener-ates $1.75 billion in direct revenue each year, making it the largest economic sec-tor in the Thompson Okanagan.

“We have a very diverse product,” says Mandziuk. “From a geograph-ic point of view it’s really amazing that you can have the highest mountain in the Canadian Rock-ies all the way to a true dessert in Osoy-oos. All of these areas are in differ-ent phases of their maturity. There are some areas that are generating full-on and some that are just emerging as tourism destinations.

We had to create a plan that resonated in every jurisdiction in the region.”

Developing a new 10 year vision, TOTA had to take a hard look at the past tour-ism practices and how people outside of the region view the area. Focus sessions were held in Van-couver, Calgary and Seattle, asking them about the perception of the area.

“We asked people their perception of the region for the past 15 years and the first word to come out of their mouths is that it’s hot,” says Mandziuk. “They don’t think of us as anything more than a place to go to the beach. We need to change their image. We need to deepen the story as to what we stand for as a region because we know we stand for a helluva lot more than ‘it’s hot.’”

Another area TOTA looked at was rev-enue and Mandziuk says despite the fact that revenue was on the rise, 80 per cent of the money made in tourism is being made in just a four month period, leav-ing tourism operators not much chance to keep employees on during the soft, shoulder seasons.

“The industry has been plagued by the

fact it is extraordin-arily seasonal,” says Mandziuk. “It’s not sustainable in the sense that you can’t keep your labour year round, you can’t get funding from the bank for an expan-sion because they don’t know if you can pay your mortgage. We need to change the way we are doing business and we can do that by creating experiences.”

Mandziuk says that by creating experiences that tour-ists want and market-ing those experiences to a specific consum-er (see sidebar), the region will become known for more than just heat in the next 10 years.

Back at the Cedar Creek Estate Winery, Gordon Fitzpatrick is excited about several new ideas that will be unveiled this year by the winery and are designed to give visitors the experi-ence of an authentic look at the wine mak-ing industry.

A new vineyard trail called the Sen-ator’s trail is named after Gordon’s father Ross, a retired Can-adian senator who at 80 years of age, still walks the property

every morning. The trail will take

people amongst the vines with guides and signage explain-ing the story of Cedar Creek.

“That will be another level of experience and it will be authentic,” says Fitzpatrick. “It makes a big differ-ence when you can kick the dirt and see where the grapes come from and pro-vide interesting stories. We want to intrigue people with what we do. We have a lot of great stories to tell.”

The telling of stor-ies is one of the pillars of the new 10 year tourism industry.

“We can’t keep promoting summer, sun and fun,” said Mandziuk. “While that’s important and we can’t lose that, we need to add a new dimension to our marketing and our product develop-ments. The exciting thing is people are embracing it and that’s because the timing was right. The biggest thing is if we work as a collective around this for the next 10 years our image will change.”

Regional tourism plan developed

The Thompson Okanagan Tourism Associa-tion’s new 10 year strategy is called Embracing Our Potential and lays out five key experience based themes that tourism operators are asked to work towards.

1. Identify the Iconic. What are the icon-ic experiences that Thompson Okanagan is known for and set it apart from other areas of the world?

2. Enhancing local flavours. The relationship between world class chefs, wine and spirits and local produce makes the Okanagan prime territory for tourists looking for a farm to table experience.

3. Revealing the story. Allow tourists to learn and absorb the history and the modern culture of the region.

4. Expanding personal horizons. Tourists are seeking enriching opportunities to learn and have interactive experiences.

5. Building authenticity. This allows tourists to understand a destination’s culture, heritage, his-tory and identity through authentic experiences.

The plan also identifies three specific types of tourists that tourism operators should market to.

1. Free spirits. 18 to 34-year-olds with higher than average income that are driven, open mind-ed, fun loving, spontaneous and adventurous.

2. Cultural explorers. 35 to 54-year-olds with average income that are highly motivated, risk-takers, socially responsible and easy-going.

3. Authentic experiencers. 55 or older with average income that are environmentally con-scious, ethical, independent and open-minded.

Taxes to riseHigher costs of policing account for bulk of two per cent increase

by John Arendt

Taxes in Summer-land will increase by two per cent his year, with the bulk of that increase going to pay higher costs for poli-cing services.

On Monday even-ing, council gave the first three readings to a pair of budget bylaws, approving the five-year financial plan and the tax rate for 2013.

Municipal admin-istrator Tom Day said holding to a two per cent tax increase was difficult, since the new RCMP service contract alone added 1.5 per cent to the budget.

Coun. Bruce Hall-quist said the muni-cipal finance com-mittee worked hard to keep the budget within the param-eters defined.

The tax increase means taxes on an average home, with an assessed value of around $400,000, will increase by $17.93 this year.

Mayor Janice Per-rino said the tax increase was need-ed in order to meet the municipality’s day-to-day expenses without dipping into reserve funds.

“I will not put our future into debt,” she said. “Taking reserves to pay our bills is tak-ing from our future.”

While the muni-cipality has reserve funds, those funds are for special pro-

jects and not for regu-lar operations, she added.

The 2013 budget is for $28,656,114.

Of this amount, $6,948,103 is from property value tax and $2,171,125 is from parcel taxes.

Fees and charges add $15,449,192 while $2,917,432 comes from other sources.

Of the major expenditures, princi-pal and interest pay-ments on the munici-pal debt account for $3,005,359.

Capital expendi-

tures are budgeted at $3,660,863.

General govern-ment expenses will cost $1,620,503. Protective servi-ces are budgeted at $2,343,975. Transpor-tation and environ-mental health services come to $2,613,921. Planning, development and building services are estimated at $622,994. Parks, recreation and community servi-

ces have a budgeted cost of $2,222,020. Utilities account for $11,995,720 and other expenditures come to $13,400.

The budget also includes the transfer of $557,359 to surplus and reserve accounts.

“Our reserves are not large, but they’re solid,” Perrino said.

In order to approve the budget and tax rate by the May 15 deadline, council held a special meet-ing on Wednesday morning to pass the final readings.

“I will not put our future into debt. Taking reserves to pay our bills is taking from our future.”

It will be a celebra-tion of pedal power as Summerlanders participate in the community’s first Bike to Work Week May 27 to 31.

During the week, Summerlanders are urged to get out their bicycles and ride to work, school, errands and appointments.

“Summerland has a growing cycling network, including shared bike lanes and off-road pathways for residents to make effi-cient links to all areas of the community” said Julie McGuire, planner with the Dis-trict of Summerland.

Cycling in Sum-merland is a good option for both trans-portation and recrea-tion. There are plenty

of benefits from cyc-ling, including exer-cise, money savings and reducing green-house gas emissions.

“Motor vehicles are the biggest con-tributors to green-house gas emissions in Summerland at 64 per cent of total com-munity emissions,” McGuire said. “If you’re looking for an easy way to help the environment, consid-er riding your bike instead of driving your car this week.”

On Tuesday, May 28 from 7 to 9 a.m., bicycle commuters are invited to stop at the south parking lot at Municipal Hall, 13211 Henry Ave., for coffee from Back-yard Beans and good-ies from True Grain

Bread. Bicycle commuters

will also be entered in a draw for prizes.

The morning Bike to Work Week Event is organized by Sum-merland’s Climate Action Committee.

Bike to Work Week is held in commun-ities across Can-ada and around the world every year in late May.

Organizers hope Bike to Work Week will encourage people to ride to work throughout the spring, summer and fall, and even in the winter for die-hard cycling enthusiasts.

For more informa-tion on Bike to Work Week, visit the web-site at www.bike-towork.ca.

Q My front teeth are s h o r t e r

than they were when I was younger. Is that a problem?

Walter

AWe use our teeth everyday so it is reasonable to expect that they would wear down over

time. However chewing only accounts for wear at a rate of about 1 mm every 100 years. Most of us would not be able to notice 1 mm wear on our teeth, so you have likely worn your teeth more than average (I am guessing you haven’t had your 100th or 200th birthday yet). There are a few reasons we experience teeth wear. Most damage to the enamel (or outer protective layer) is done during the day. We clench or squeeze our teeth together when we are concentrating which can cause enamel loss. This often becomes a habit that we are unaware of and can result in several mm of tooth loss. Once we lose that enamel, our bite changes and as a result, also our joint. Some adapt easily to this change and have no pain, while others do not adapt well and can experience both muscle and joint pain as well as continued tooth damage. Teeth can also wear down at night through grinding, although the amount of force that we exert on our teeth at night is a lot less so the damage we see is usually a lot less. Night grinding can be caused by an airway issue (or difficulty breathing at night). The options of treatment for tooth wear can be as easy as a night guard, filling in missing enamel, orthodontics to prevent further wear, or crowns to rebuild missing enamel. Finding out why the enamel was lost will determine what treatment is best suited for you.

We’re here to help in any way we can. Feel free to call, stop by, or send us an e-mail message. We are always accepting new patients and I’d be happy to answer your question in the next article (anonymously if desired). Have a great week!

Funding theatreFlanked by theatre students from Summerland and across British Columbia, Herlinda Burt of the Summerland Credit Union presents a cheque for $1,690 to the Good Will Shakespeare Festival. The money is to sponsor one of the workshops.

Chamber funding fell shortWhen a $19,800

HRDC grant was not approved, the Sum-merland Chamber of Commerce had to make tough deci-sions to meet its 2012 budget.

The total budget was set at $313,430, with $200,000 coming from the municipal-ity.

While provincial grants were higher than expected, the loss of the HRDC grant meant the chamber’s total fund-ing for the year came

to $303,906, or 97 per cent of the budgeted amount.

Expenses came to $304,830, chamber manager Christine Petkau told munici-pal council on Mon-day evening. This is a shortfall of $924.

She said the HRDC grant was to pay for summer students to staff the Visitor Infor-mation Centre on Highway 97.

Petkau said the chamber took a care-ful look at its figures in order to find the

money to hire sum-mer students.

In addition, she said businesses were asked to increase their level of sponsor-ship for the annual Festival of Lights.

For this year, the chamber’s budget includes a $10,000 HRDC grant, but Pet-kau said even if the grant is not approved, the chamber will still ensure the centre is staffed.

Road workBill Dieno, in the foreground, and Jamie Bruvold work on the road upgrade at the corner of Prairie Valley Road and Victoria Road South. The upgrade project includes a roundabout intersection and utility service improvements.

Chef, television personality and inter-national best-selling author Sandi Richard is partnering with Compassion Canada on her national tour this spring. 

The tour includes a stop in Summerland later this month.

“I’m honoured to speak about the great work Compas-

sion does to make a real difference in the lives of children and families every day,” Richard said.

As the creator and host of the reality series Fixing Dinner, Richard rescues fam-ilies from mealtime mayhem.

Each episode, she helps a different family organize their kitchen and their lives so they can gather at the dinner table every weeknight.

Fixing Dinner appears on Food Net-work Canada, Amer-ican Life TV and Dis-covery Asia.

Richard also hosts Let’s Do Lunch and has written seven books in her Cooking for the Rushed series.

On tour, Richard shares her simple yet

life-changing strat-egies for making family mealtime a reality.

Her speaking style is engaging, fun and interactive.

Each event fea-tures a live cook-off and Richard’s three-step plan to change dinnertime forever, as well as a short video from her trip to El Salvador with Com-passion in August.

She will be at Summerland Baptist Church, 10318 Elliot St. on Saturday, May 25 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are avail-able at TicketWin-dow.ca or locally at Christian retailers and churches.

Blues tour includes Summerland concert

During the past two years, the popu-lar Girls with Guitars Tour put a thorough-ly feminine stamp on the Blues Caravan.

But it’s time to reshuffle the cards.

On the latest edi-tion of the annual tour presented by Ruf Records, a couple of rough-and-tum-ble guitarists from North America will go head-to-head with a dynamic British female singer and guitar player whose every show is a dis-play of raw and emo-tional power. Rest assured: When this trio of hard-nosed pros step into the ring, they won’t be pulling any punches.

Canadian Jimmy Bowskill was discov-ered by bluesman Jeff Healey at the age of 11.

He has toured Eur-ope several times and delivered a strong debut for Ruf Rec-ords with his 2012

release Back Number. While he started

out as a traditional blues stylist, he has since moved progres-sively toward classic rock.

His trio has sup-ported acts like Jeff Beck, Joe Bonamassa and Wishbone Ash, but he no longer needs to ride on any-one’s coattails.

“The music I make now has a more rock-ing sound than the more traditional stuff. But to me it’s just my take on the blues,” Bowskill said. “I’m in my early 20s and full of energy, so of course my music will have a different edge to it.”

Bart Walker, whose 2012 debut album Who I Am has been well-received by crit-ics, adds a down-home, earthy touch to the Caravan lineup.

At the 2012 Inter-national Blues Chal-lenge, this Nashville-based guitar standout

took home the cov-eted Best Guitarist honours.

In recent years, he’s provided brilliant support to country-rocker Bo Bice while honing his skills as a writer of powerful songs full of southern flair.

Former Stevie Ray Vaughan band mem-ber Reese Wynans was so impressed with Walker’s talents as a singer, songwrit-er and guitarist that he promptly decided to join his band.

“When I saw Bart Walker, I saw something special, so I jumped at the chance,” Wynans said.

Joanne Shaw Tay-lor, the only girl with a guitar on this year’s tour, is no stranger to the Blues Caravan.

The 2009 tour was an important step in her budding career.

Hailing from Eng-land, Taylor now resides in Texas and

it was there that she perfected her brand of spirited, hard rocking blues on the recent-ly released Almost Always Never.

“I started playing little clubs in the UK when I was 14 or 15. But the sound of this album is a better rep-resentation of what I always wanted to be as an artist,” said Taylor, who recently played lead guitar for Annie Lennox at the Diamond Jubilee Concert for Queen Elizabeth II.

The album, her third for Ruf, has solidified her stand-ing as the shooting star of modern blues.

The musicians will tour Canada from May 17 to June 2.

They will perform at Centre Stage The-atre in Summerland on Monday, May 27.

As Christine Pet-kau, of the Summer-land Chamber of Commerce, pointed out in the Chamber Corner column last week, Summerland is alive with cultural organizations and artists who add a real vibrancy to our com-munity.

This vibrancy and the economic spin-offs created by the cultural community are fully on display this weekend and next.

This weekend features a quilting extravaganza at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre as the thousands of quilters from across the country come together for the 32nd National Juried Show that celebrates the best in contemporary quilt making.

In addition to these shows there will be more than 50 mer-chant booths fea-turing everything a stitcher could desire; custom fabric, state of the art sewing machines, a rainbow of threads and embel-lishments, and tools and technology for every creative sewer.

On Saturday night at the Cleland Theatre Rosemary Thomson and the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra present Last Night of the Proms - Master-works VI.

The May 24 to 26 weekend is packed with art activities in Summerland. The Summerland Pleas-ure Painters present their Annual Spring Show and Sale at St. Stephens Anglican Church hall on May 24, 25 and 26. The hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday. Everyone is welcome to view the results of their “Pleasurable” past-time. Tea and refreshments will be available by the church ladies, as well as tours of the histor-ic Anglican Church.

The May 25 to 26 weekend is also the

Summerland Stu-dio Tour weekend when a whole series of Summerland’s Art Studios will be open-ing their doors to wel-come visitors in to see how they make their magic happen. You can pick up a map for your own self-guided tour at the Summer-land Art Gallery or the Visitors Informa-tion Centre or at the Summerland Library.

Don’t miss this wonderful oppor-tunity to see pottery studios, a woodwork-ing shop and a black-smith’s forge where he creates beautiful sculptures with red hot iron. Not to men-tion a photographer’s studio and a clothing designer. These and other studios will be open Saturday and Sunday, May 25 and 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Interested in draw-ing? Register for the Introduction to Drawing and Dry Media course being held May 25 and 26 at the Arts Centre.

Free wireless access provided

by John Arendt

A 10-year agree-ment between the municipality and Shaw Cablesystems Ltd. will provide free wireless Internet access to residents and visitors in pub-lic spaces throughout the community.

On Monday, coun-cil unanimously approved the agree-ment to allow the installation of the ser-vice.

Jeremy Denegar, director of corpor-ate services for the municipality, said there will be 20 indoor locations and 43 outdoor locations, providing good coverage for the community.

“With 80 per cent of Canadians using cell phones and almost half of those using smartphones and tablets, free wire-less Internet access is becoming a must-have for communities

that want to attract business, visitors and new residents,” Denegar said in a report to council.

Some of the access points include muni-cipal hall, the Sum-merland Museum, the Summerland

branch of the Oka-nagan Regional Library, the Aquatic Centre, Centre Stage Theatre, the arena complex, parks and streets.

Shaw will provide the Internet service while the municipal-ity will provide the power.

The cost of the elec-

trical power for the stations is estimated at $340 a year for the entire service.

Denegar said some communities are implementing gov-ernment-owned wire-less services while others are allowing

private wireless ser-vices only available to customers of the provider. The Sum-merland agreement will provide a pri-vately-operated ser-vice available for all.

The agreement is dated May 14 and work will begin as soon as possible, Denegar said.

“With 80 per cent of Canadians using cell phones and almost half of those using smartphones and tablets, free wireless Internet access is becoming a must-have for communities that want to attract business, visitors and new residents.”

School board adopts preliminary budgetEfforts made to address $1.5M shortfall

The Okanagan Skaha School Board has cut its budget and dipped into accumu-lated savings and reserves in order to address a $1.5 million budget shortfall.

On Monday, the school board adopt-ed its 2013-2014 pre-liminary operating budget.

In order to meet the shortfall, the district relied on

accumulated sav-ings and reserves of $900,000 and fur-ther budget cuts of around $600,000

“Our long-term planning strategy has again allowed us to mitigate the effects of a funding short-age; however, reduc-tions to services and programs are still necessary this year,” said Ginny Manning, chair of the school board.

The reductions include reductions to the gifted program,

the deaf/hard of hearing teacher, help-ing teachers, behav-iour program, sup-ply, equipment and travel budget cuts, maintenance and custodial cuts, reduc-tions to clerical staff and administration reductions.

The school district is estimating the lar-gest drop in enrol-ment in recent years, which will lead to further funding shortfalls.

A separate Learn-ing Improvement

Fund will be avail-able once again this year. The fund pro-vides additional resources to support challenging learning conditions.

The plan for this fund must be com-pleted by Oct. 15.

“I am pleased that the Learning Improvement Fund will again be avail-able this year and we will be able to add staffing and resources to educationally chal-lenging areas,” Man-ning said.

The South Oka-nagan/Similkameen Branch of the B.C. SPCA will hold an animal-themed day of fun on Saturday, May 25.

The event, pre-sented by Hill’s Sci-ence Diet, will run from 1 to 4 p.m. at the South Okanagan/Similkameen SPCA, 2200 Dartmouth Dr., Penticton.

Highlights include educational displays, shelter tours, free nail trimming, bake sale, professional photos of you and your pet and a barbecue.

The branch will also promote the joy of pet guardianship over the weekend, May 24 to 26, with half-price adoption fees on all cats, kit-tens and rabbits.

“We’re also ask-ing members of the community to help animals in need by dropping off urgently needed items for the shelter,” says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of commun-ity relations for the B.C. SPCA.

Chortyk says the open house event is an opportunity for people to meet the

animals available for adoption and to have fun learning more about how to help animals in the com-munity. 

“We are really excit-ed to continue our ongoing partnership with the B.C.  SPCA for the Annual Open House series,” says Brian Howard, gener-al manager for Hill’s Canada. 

SPCA to hold open house

Advance poll turnout risesby Tom Fletcher

Black Press

VICTORIA – With advance polls open for four days and a push by political parties to use them, turnout by early voters jumped 28 per cent for today’s election, compared to the 2009 B.C. election.

But that election ended up with an all-time low turnout of only 51 per cent of eligible voters, confirming a trend in

other jurisdictions that heavy advance voting does not indi-cate increased voter interest.

Elections BC reports that 380,741 votes were cast in advance polls at the 85 con-stituencies around B.C. That’s about 12 per cent of the more than three million people eli-gible to vote in the province.

Heaviest turnouts were reported in Comox Valley, Vernon-Monashee, Pentic-ton, Saanich North and the Islands, Oak Bay-Gordon

Head and Parksville-Qual-icum.

Elections BC also provides for absentee voting, where any eligible voter can vote at any polling location by writ-ing the name of their pre-ferred candidate on a blank ballot.

Voting by mail is also an option, with voting pack-ages available up to 4 p.m. on election day. They must be returned to a district electoral office by 8 p.m.

Both the U19 and the U14 teams start-ed playing Saturday morning at 8 a.m. at the Dale Meadows Sports Complex.

The U19 Scorch played the Port Moody Magic to start. Both teams played well with Port Moody winning a 9-8 heartbreaker.

The Scorch played Fleetwood Bandits next, which was a lit-tle lopsided and not for Summerland.

Their next game was against Salmon Arm. Summerland was ahead when the game was called as two Salmon Arm girls had heat stroke.

The final game for Scorch were North Delta Misfits. Again the girls had a lot of good hits and caught but came up short losing 10-8 .

The U19 team’s schedule was diffi-cult as the teams that beat them ended up second, third and fourth in the round robin portions of the tournament.

The other teams advancing to the play-offs were West Koote-nay, White Rock/Sur-rey and Chilliwack.

West Kooteney advanced to the final defeating Chil-liwack while Port Moody and Fleet-wood advanced to play for the right to play West Kootenay. Port Moody defeated Fleetwood but it took them the full hour and a half to do it.

Port Moody and West Kootenay played five hard fought innings with

Port Moody winning 9-8 for first place.

The U14 team coached by Tom Nelson played West Kelowna to begin, with lots of good action. The girls could not catch West Kelowna and were defeated 21-12. As hard as they tried, they did not have any luck this weekend as they were defeated in all of their games.

Dave Martin’s U14 team did not fare any better, but his first game was close which made both girls and coach happy as they are just starting the year.

The Cawston, Pen-ticton, Prince George

and Trail teams all advanced to the play-offs for the U14.

Cawston defeated Penticton in the Semi to advance and Trail advanced beating Prince George.

Prince George and Penticton played for third place which Prince George won while Cawston and Trail played five innings with Caws-ton placing first and Trail placing second.

The next action for the Summerland Scorch U19 team is on June 15 and 16 as they will host the District 9 playoffs for the U16 and U19 divisions, which will lead to the provincials in July.

Major races and runs plannedAs amazing as it

may seem we have 11 major runs and races scheduled for Sum-merland in 2013.

Wow, what a week of warm weather, we just had two major girls’ softball tourna-ments that brought more than 45 teams to our commun-ity from all over the province.

The month of May signals the start of an amazing series of runs and races that are available for a variety of partici-pants from the very fit to those wanting to be out with their family.

It all started with the Giant’s Head Hill Climb cycling race on May 4 and special appreciation to Art VanKooy who made the race happen.

Art is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, and many have met Art at the Bike Barn making sure your bikes are in excellent shape.

We are in full swing organizing the

grand-daddy of them all — The Giant’s Head Run and Man of Steel Triathlon.

I wonder whether people like Doug Thring, Ellen Lloyd and Jim Riccuiti thought 31 years ago their event would still be going strong today.

I’ve always been amazed when our neighbouring com-munities are compli-mentary about our family and commun-ity involvement in the Action Festival Races (just a reminder that now is the time to register for both the Giant’s Head Run and Man of Steel Triathlon). You can enter online at www.runningroom.com or download an entry form at www.sum-merland.ca or pick one up at the Aquatic Centre.

There are still eight major runs and races to follow dur-ing the summer and fall season. They include the Gran-Fondo which weaves

its way through the South Okanagan and another event unique to the Okanagan, the Ride the Giant long-board race schedule for the August long weekend at Giant’s Head Park. This event garners world-wide exposure with competitors from all over North Amer-ica. In 2012, Ride the Giant was filmed by the Discovery Chan-nel.

Ultraman will fin-ish in Summerland on the August long weekend and don’t forget the Summer-

land Orca Sprint Tri-athlon and Kids of Steel Race on the Sep-tember long week-end at Peach Orchard Park.

Other events include a new race, the Steve King 100-kilometre classic held Sept. 24 and a full Cross Country Race held Oct. 6.

Of course we can’t forget the Terry Fox Run the second week of September and the Test of Humanity Mountain Bike Race the third week of Sep-tember.

I will try to get everyone more infor-mation as all these events get closer but what an amazing set of races for a com-munity the size of Summerland.

Dale MacDonald has been Summer-land’s Director of Parks and Recreation for the last 22 years and in his sporting past has won provin-cial championships in four different sports.

Organization has raised funds for those with hearing and speech impairments

The Quest Soci-ety of Summerland is on a quest to wel-come new members to help raise funds to improve the lives of the deaf, hard of hearing and speech impaired and to aid youth in the reduc-tion of hearing loss.

The group is a non-profit women’s service society for all ages, occupations and nationalities. Members meet the third Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. in the lounge at Park-dale Place Lodge.

Quest members become involved in the life of our com-munity. The organiza-tion provides social and service opportun-ities and gives a better understanding of its problems. Not only will it give a sense of fulfillment, but the knowledge that the efforts of every mem-ber really count.

Members strength-en Quest by lending

their talents and spe-cial skills where they are needed.

There are several Quest fundraisers including a Summer-land Garden Tour held every alternate year, a Toonie Tree Raffle and new this year a bridge tourna-ment with lunch to be held on Sept. 21st at the IOOF Hall.

The annual spring yard sale is held at the IOOF hall on Main Street.

Since 1997, Quest has raised more than $108,000 to benefit Summerland women and children in need and people with hearing and speech challenges. Recently, the organization has been approached by several local people who have used hear-ing aids they wish to donate to other Sum-merlanders who may not be able to afford new hearing aids.

Quest is currently negotiating with a service club to see if it is viable to refurbish these hearing aids and pass them on to people in need.

Centre Stage has a special hearing sys-tem to enable those

with hearing difficul-ties to enjoy the per-formances. This hear-ing system has to be booked through the Recreation Depart-ment.

May is Speech and Hearing Awareness month. Look for the big pink ears on post-

ers around Summer-land businesses.

If you or someone you know, need more information regard-ing hearing and speech impairment they can contact The Summerland Quest Society @shaw.ca or talk to a member.

Quest Society seeks additional members
