Arena upgrades plannedMunicipality to apply for grant funding to assist with improvements

John Arendt

The municipality will apply for grant funding for upgrades to the arena and curl-ing rink complex.

The funding, under the Canada 150 Com-munity Infrastructure

Program, is offering $150 million over two years to support pro-jects to rehabilitate existing community facilities across Can-ada.

Half of the funding comes through the Canada 160 initiative, with the balance from the municipality. Gas tax funds may not be used for the munici-pality’s contribution.

Municipal staff rec-ommended two pro-

jects for council con-sideration. The pro-jects were upgrades to the arena and curling complex and improvements to the trails on Giant’s Head Mountain Park.

The arena upgrades have an estimated cost of $200,000, while the park improvements have an estimated cost of $160,000, with a portion of the muni-cipality’s funding to

come from the Sum-merland Rotary Club and Giant’s Head Grind.

Council members favoured the arena upgrades.

“It seems to me like the more press-ing need,” said Coun. Doug Holmes.

Coun. Toni Boot said the arena and curling complex is used by many Sum-merlanders as the skating club, hock-

ey, broomball, curl-ing and graduation ceremonies are held there.

“The community uses this facility more than Giant’s Head,” she said.

The upgrades to the arena and curling rink include replacing the arena dehumidifi-er, replacing the curl-ing ice compressor, replacing the banquet room air handling unit and replacing

the lighting over the ice. These upgrades have been identified in the municipality’s five-year financial plan.

The arena was built in 1976.

The grant applica-tion deadline is June 17.

If Summerland receives funding through this initia-tive, the work must be completed by March 31, 2018.

The Action Festi-val fireworks display on Friday evening started roughly an hour and a half later than scheduled as a result of a technical issue.

The fireworks show was scheduled to start on Friday at 10:20 p.m., but did not begin until shortly before mid-night.

“The delay was safety-related and technical,” said Pat

Bell, president of the Summerland Action Festival Committee.

Because of the late start, Bell and other festival organizers received complaints the following day.

While some won-dered why the fire-works show was not

moved to Saturday evening, Bell said rescheduling was not workable.

“We couldn’t just leave it until Sat-urday,” he said, explaining that the fireworks, once set in place, cannot be moved.

Aside from the fireworks delay, Bell said the festival was a success.

He said between 15,000 and 20,000 people attended the various weekend events.

“We certainly had a lot of people over

the three days,” he said.

The three-day festi-val featured a parade, a slo-pitch ball tour-nament, a run, a tri-athlon and plenty of entertainment and activities.

The setup in and near Memorial Park

worked well, he added.

This year, the mid-way was moved to the former Parkdale Place site on Kelly Avenue, freeing a portion of Memorial Park for rides and activities for younger children.

Police are urging motorists to drive carefully following a series of accidents on Highway 97 in recent weeks.

At the end of May, police were called to accidents on the highway immediate-ly south of Summer-land, while on June 4, emergency workers were called to a fatal accident between Peachland and Sum-merland.

Sgt. Stephane Lac-roix of the Summer-

land RCMP detach-ment said road con-ditions were good at the time of all three accidents. He added that the highway is four lanes from Okanagan Falls to a point near Peachland.

Summer traf-fic conditions, with many tourists and large vehicles on the road, will not begin until late June or early July.

Lacroix said dis-tracted driving is a factor in vehicle acci-

dents.Initiatives have

been put in place to discourage driv-ers from using handheld electronic devices while driv-ing, but the practice of using a handheld cell phone or send-ing and receiving text messages continues for some drivers.

“I don’t think we’ve learned yet,” Lacroix said. “Using a device while driv-ing is as bad as driv-ing drunk.”

While the Sum-merland Fall Fair will not take place this year, organizers are considering the 2016 fair.

In late May, the fair’s board of direc-tors voted not to hold the annual fair in September, but Tim Broesch, president of the fair, said he is looking ahead to next year.

The fair has been held each year since 1909.

“We want to have a very high quality event in 2016,” he said. “We’re going to make some changes to the fair so it will be more self-sustaining and easier to plan.”

Broesch said effi-ciencies at the board level will make it eas-ier to plan and run the fair.

He said the com-mittee has typically spent 12 months to plan and organize the two-day event.

“To me, that seems very excessive,” Broesch said. “It should not take 12 months of planning.”

By streamlining the process, he expects to be able to start planning the 2016 fair in February of that year.

Some of the exist-ing board members will remain for next year and another three to four will be

needed, he added.The fair also

requires plenty of volunteers to serve as convenors, judges and to help set up and take down the exhibits.

“We have more than enough volun-teers for the week-end,” he said.

In addition to the plans for the next fair, Broesch said the directors are making other changes.

The website will be

updated to include a message that the fair has been cancelled for this year.

The fair is also in the process of clos-ing its office space on Kelly Avenue.

Broesch said the cost of rent, telephone and Internet was

s e v e r a l thousand dollars a year.

T h e b o a r d will put the tro-p h i e s and rec-ords into storage, w h i l e historical

information may be taken to the Summer-land Museum.

Earlier this year, the fair faced dif-ficulties because of finances and volun-teers.

The financial chal-lenge came when the B.C. Gaming Com-mission audited the fair. This delayed a $20,000 gaming grant.

In addition, the fair’s board of direc-tors was reduced to

just eight members. While this number of directors satisfied the fair’s requirements, it was not enough to adequately plan the fair for this year, Broesch said at the time.

Mayor Peter Water-man was disappoint-ed with the move to cancel the fair for this year.

“I think it’s

unfortunate that they came to that deci-sion,” he said. “The fair has been well received by the com-munity.”

He added that organizing the fair has been a difficult task for the volun-teers on the board.

“Big efforts like the Fall Fair fall on a few shoulders,” he said.

Organizers consider streamlining Fall Fair

“We want to have a very high quality event in 2016. We’re going to make some changes to the fair so it will be more self-sustaining and easi-er to plan.”

The office of the Auditor General for Local Government has new marching orders from the prov-ince to avoid a repeat of problems that led to the firing of first AGLG Basia Ruta.

Legislation is planned to draw clearer lines of respon-sibility between the AGLG and its gov-erning audit council, and seek to guard against excessive use of contracted con-sultants. Those were among the recom-mendations from a

review carried out by Chris Trumpy after Ruta was removed earlier this year. She had resisted an attempt to review her slow performance in completing audits of municipalities.

The office was cre-ated by the BC Lib-eral government to conduct performance audits on local gov-ernment to help them find savings and effi-ciencies. Most civic leaders were skep-tical of the initiative’s value from the outset.

Ruta is challen-ging her dismissal in court.

“Oh no, here we go,” mutters the per-son blind to the col-onial history of Can-ada now that, after six years, the Truth and Reconciliation Com-mission has issued its report on the dark past of residential schools in Canada.

“Why won’t those Indians just put the past behind them, get a job, and start con-tributing to society?”

That is what “he” said to me.

There are certain subjects usually left alone by those who should know bet-ter. Topics where we don’t really hear what some people think. Most people keep their ignorance to themselves.

“That was the past, get over it.”

These are not the opinions of some bygone era. These are attitudes held by some people, most who won’t admit it, in the here and now. Present and but a scratch below a thin layer of political cor-rectness that covers our daily discourse.

“Why won’t those

Indians just put the past behind them, get a job, and start con-tributing to society?”

I write it again, because it struck me as amazing. This is what was said to me by someone I chatted with a few weeks ago who, frankly, should know better. An edu-cated, employed, suc-cessful member of society.

He used the term “Indians,” even. Lots of people do. No, he wasn’t talking about people from India. I asked. But the fellow I was talking to sug-gested that when talk-ing about the Sto:lo population, he prefers “Indian” over “native” or “aboriginal.”

And don’t even start him on the political manipula-tion behind the term “First Nations.”

“Don’t talk about Indians to this guy,” he joked as others joined us in the pub-lic setting where our conversation took place. Laughs.

Apparently, I’ve learned, it is political correctness run amok when people sug-gest an objectively inaccurate term is just weird to use.

“You know where India is, right?” I asked the afore-mentioned fellow.

No comment.“OK, you know the

‘Indians’ in this coun-try have endured an attempted cultural genocide, right?” I pushed.

Get over it, was the response. Start pay-ing some taxes.

I almost hate to write these words because they are true. Today many Sto:lo folks are likely grap-pling with Justice Murray Sinclair ’s report, its 94 recom-mendations, some-thing that will dig up

the terrible wounds of what was endured at residential schools by parents grandpar-ents and great-grand-parents.

The ignorance and hatred that led to a cultural genocide, a government-church led systematic “kill-ing the Indian in the child” is done. It’s gone from our churches. It’s gone from our cultural institutions. It’s gone from our govern-ment.

But the sentiment does remain, if below the surface, that aboriginals should just snub out the last remnants of that lan-guage, drop the cul-tural practices, forget the drumming and the hunting and the fishing and the rest of it, and just be more like us.

Why can’t you be more like “us”?

There is, among us mostly white settlers, a sense of entitle-ment, but even more so a disregard for any expression of culture from those who were here before us.

Now that the

report is out, it’s time to acknowledge the horrible truth that some of our ances-tors took part in or at least acquiesced to, and reconcile.

This doesn’t mean saying “we are sorry you are upset” one more time. This means starting a pro-cess whereby indi-viduals like the one I quoted above are forced to learn some history. Learn how children were stolen from their parents as government policy.

“Cultural genocide is the destruction of those structures and practices that allow the group to continue as a group”

This is big stuff, and it’s been buried for too long. What we should not do is let the ignorance of the “be more like us” sentiment carry on.

Those today who are blind to his-tory and what went on with the Indian School Act need to open their eyes.

YOUR VIEWS

What happens next with the Summerland Fall Fair will depend on the support of the community.

In late May, the fair’s board of direc-tors voted not to hold the annual fair in September, although organizers are hope-ful the fair will resume in 2016.

The fair has been a part of Summerland since 1909 and over the years, it has drawn large crowds.

Its origins were as an agricultural fair and a place where the community could showcase baking, preserves, arts, crafts and more.

In recent years, the board has been in need of additional members to assist with organizing, planning and operations. Still, organizers have been able to stage a suc-cessful fair each year.

Over the past year, however, the fair has had to cope with the departure of several of its directors, further reducing the size of the board.

The low number of directors in recent years is a puzzling trend since the fair had remained a popular event.

In a community which has proclaimed its support of local agriculture, finding a team of volunteers willing to organize an agricultural celebration should not prove difficult.

Large-scale community events such as the fall fair cannot happen unless mem-bers of the community get involved in the planning and organization. There are many details involved.

A weekend festival takes many months of preparation from a committed team. This is true in years when a festival fol-lows a set formula. It becomes even more important if there are changes to the structure of a festival or if it is returning after a one-year hiatus.

In order to have a successful fair in 2016, now is the time to arrange a board of directors to take care of the many necessary preparations.

If an adequate number of enthusiastic board members cannot be found, the conclusion is that the fair is not as import-ant as the attendance numbers would indicate.

Paddling homeThe Giant looked like he was dozing peacefully on this calm day in 1912 while passengers on the S.S. Okanagan were heading to Summerland on a lake as smooth as glass. These days there are a few more homes on the haunches of the giant and a few more boats on the lake but it’s still a beautiful place to call home.

THE EARLY YEARS

Summerland Review Thursday, June 11, 2015 O p i n i O n s www.summerlandreview.com 5

Dear Editor: Summer is finally

here, but as the days are getting longer and warmer, noise levels produced by power boats, trucks and motorcycles with inadequate or no mufflers are getting louder.

How incredibly ignorant, and with

literally millions of dollars invested in state of the art equipment, includ-ing helicopters, why has this obnox-ious issue not been addressed?

You don’t need a muffler in each ear, to appreciate the nat-ural beauty of our valley.

The bylaws have been in place for years, and they are as relevant today as they were at the time they were adopted, and as citizens we have a right to insist these issues will be addressed.

Allowing this extremely offensive behaviour to prolifer-

ate has also promoted some very aggressive driver attitudes.

Common courtes-ies and right-of-ways have become a thing of the past, and our highways are not safe to travel as a result of it.

Virtually every day people are injured or killed.

Federal Maritime Occupational Health and Safety Regula-tions consider sounds in a workplace louder than 85 decibels to be hazardous.

The noise levels in our streets and high-ways are far beyond that.

Those obscene noise levels have also

become an issue of invasion of our pri-vacy, denying us our right to enjoy home and property.

It’s hard core when we are in our homes, spending quality time with friends, or listening to our favourite music or TV programs, and our privacy is constantly

being interrupted by radically exces-sive noises produced by motorcycles and motor vehicles that have been retrofit-ted with after-market flow-through exhaust pipes for no other reason but to gener-ate more noise.

Many assisted with showDear Editor:On behalf of the

directors and staff of the Summerland Museum and the members of the Quest Society for Hearing Enhancement, I am writing to acknow-ledge and thank all those who played a part in making Fash-ions of a Century on May 24 such a suc-cessful event.

This was a true community endeav-our, bringing togeth-

er the staff and direc-tors of the museum, the members of Quest and the Blos-som royalty and can-didates who did such a great job of mod-elling a total of 36 vintage outfits from the museum’s col-lection, spanning the decades from 1900 to 2000.

We thank Susan Lopatecki for her interesting com-mentary, giving us insights into the life,

times and fashions of Summerland.

We also want to include the many merchants and other residents whose con-tributions made it possible to have such a wonderful silent auction. Thank you all so much.

Finally, our appre-ciation goes to all the media and others who helped us pub-licize this event, and in particular to the Summerland Review

for its excellent arti-cles.

Last, but defin-itely not least, a big thank you to all in the community who supported our work by attending.

All the funds will be returned to the community through projects of both the museum and the Quest Society.

Dear Editor:I am once again reminded

of why I love Summerland. I was downtown when a young gal sped by me and caught up to a young man to return his keys. She was dressed in black

like a uniform, but no identi-fying logo was to be seen.

We had a chat. She just got back from North Dakota on a baseball scholarship studying phys. ed. and was in Phoe-nix last year. We both agreed

Summerland is a friendly town and she is happy to be home in the summer.

Just another reason I love Summerland.

Dear Editor:I am alarmed at

the foot dragging over the issue of zebra and quagga mussels entering the Okanagan and other B.C. interior water-sheds. The threat is imminent and the damaging impacts are well known. These mussels multi-ply rapidly and there is no known way of getting rid of them. They have steadily advanced westward from the Great Lakes, especially in the U.S.

Our federal gov-ernment has clear authority and responsibility to stop this invasion at U.S. points of entry. Yet they have ignored the problem for years and only became involved when local

authorities such as the Okanagan Basin Water Board screamed loudly and persistently.

The federal plan is to slowly engage and train Canadian Bor-der Service Agency personnel to actually inspect boats as they enter Canada. This might happen by mid–summer. CBSA, like most other fed-eral agencies, is in cut back mode. Without adequate numbers of inspectors how can they carry out these necessary inspec-tions?

In my professional career I worked to combat invasions of non-indigenous pest. From that I recognize that immediate com-prehensive actions are needed when dealing

with invasives. Prevention by

interception requires the engagement of our federal govern-ment. By not tak-ing the lead they, in effect, they let others off the hook.

What can you do? Get informed and get involved — protect-ourfreshwater.ca/. In advance of the Octo-ber federal election, contact your local MPs and let them know that urgent action is required. Foot dragging is not acceptable.

Contact the can-didates for the other parties and find out what they will do. Then consider who you will vote for in October.

A number of events are occurring in Ottawa on and around Parliament Hill.

One event that I believe is of interest to all Canadians are ceremonies related to the release of the summary report from the Truth and Recon-ciliation Commission of Canada.

For those who may be unfamiliar, this was a report into one of our countries dark-est times as aboriginal children were taken from their families and communities to attend residential schools.

For many aborig-inal students horrific injustices occurred in these institutions where it has been revealed that chil-dren suffered serious abuse, violence, and thousands of children were never to return home.

In some cases the location and remains of loved ones are still unknown to family members.

The summary report released this week is roughly 400 pages and contains 94 recommendations intended to help achieve true recon-ciliation.

The full report will be released in the near future that will also be responded to by government.

Some of the key recommendat ions involve increased education for all Can-adians regarding the history of residential schools in Canada as well as improv-ing education for first nation’s children and greater efforts to close the poverty gap that exists in many first nation commun-ities.

From my perspec-tive I believe we must work in part-nership to identify solutions that reduce poverty and increase education comple-tion rates.

It is also important to focus on employ-ment and healthy liv-ing including access-

ible healthcare. True reconciliation

is an important prin-ciple to help over-come this unaccept-able chapter in Can-adian history.

We must also rec-ognize the cour-age of many victims who came forward to share their pain-ful experiences with the commission. I will report again on this important topic again when the full report is released and more information is available. This week in Ottawa also saw the release of the independent inves-tigation and related report into the shoot-ing that occurred on Parliament Hill in October, 2014.

This report con-cluded that 56 shots were fired between RCMP and House of Commons security.

Of the 56 shots fired 31 hit the assail-ant with two of these 31 considered to be rapidly fatal.

Neither drugs nor alcohol were detected in the post-mortem investigation of the deceased.

The report also identified areas of concern with respect to House of Com-mons security proto-

cols and in total proposes 66 recom-mendations. Closer to home I have been asked for comment regarding child killer Allan Schoenborn being issued escorted day pass by the B.C. Review board.

For those who may be unaware, in 2008 Mr. Schoenborn mur-dered his three chil-dren: 10-year-old Kai-tlynne, eight-year-old Max and five-year-old Cordon in Merritt before fleeing police.

I have heard from the family directly who shared this hor-

rific tragedy with members of the Standing Commit-tee on Justice and Human Rights in June of 2013.

This was truly one of the most heart-breaking events heard by this com-mittee as the family continues to live in fear of Mr. Schoen-born to this very day.

This is an example where parts of our justice system still can fail victims and families.

Although legal changes have occurred since this

disturbing act of vio-lence was commit-ted these changes cannot be applied retroactively and will not change this dif-ficult situation for the family.

In my view these situations are unacceptable and I will continue to sup-port putting the inter-ests and concerns of families and victims ahead of criminals. No family should be forced to relive a hor-rific event and live in fear for their safety.

tions on the subjects mentioned today or any other mat-ter before the House of Commons. I can be reached at [email protected] or toll-free at 1-800-665-8711.

Dear Editor:The concern I have

for GMO foods is exactly the same as EMFs from Smart Meters. It’s about control.

You notice that B.C. Hydro and FortisBC can’t resist compar-ing their smart meters to our personal elec-tronic devices.

There are many things I can do to reduce EMFs from all the electronic devices I use.

However I am in

control of my person-al devices and have no control over wire-less technology deliv-ered by a utility both to my home and to all other homes in my vicinity.

A genetically modi-fied apple planted in Summerland can potentially infect my orchard through pol-len transfer by bees that are transported up and down the Val-ley by beekeepers.

No apple growers, including certified

organic growers, are immune from this cross contamination by this one GMO apple orchard.

At the very least, not any orchard in the Okanagan Simil-kameen valleys will ever be able to claim that their apples are grown GE free, organic or not.

This affects what we grow, what we eat, this impacts our domestic and foreign markets, threatens the very existence of

the certified organic industry and alters our reputation as growers of healthy, wholesome, and nat-ural food.

I feel our rights as growers and the rights of consumers have lost the freedom to control our indi-vidual destinies.

It is imperative that we reverse this corporate control over such important aspects of our lives.

Summerland Review Thursday, June 11, 2015 L i f e s t y L e www.summerlandreview.com 7

A golf tournament this summer will raise money to help equip the new Patient Care Tower at the Penticton Regional Hospital.

The 19th annual Peach City Tees Up For Cancer ladies charity golf tourna-ment will be held Aug. 14 and 15 at the Penticton Golf and Country Club.

Organizers of the tournament have pledged to contrib-ute $150,000 over five years to the South Okanagan Similka-meen Medical Foun-dation campaign.

The foundation is working to raise $20 million for medical equipment for the hospital tower.

Peggy Guest, chair of the tournament organizing commit-tee, said the golf tour-nament began in 1997 by raising more than $10,000 for the PRH Oncology Depart-ment.

Guest said Tees Up can achieve its latest goal, noting the 2014 tournament raised more than $32,000.

“Everyone knew the tower was in the planning stages,” she said, “so we decid-ed at our first meet-ing this year, not only would we raise money for the tower, but we’d commit to raising $150,000 over five years.”

Guest said up to 30 teams of four are expected to regis-ter for the best-ball scramble event, with a strong emphasis on fun.

A “construction zone” theme has been chosen for this year.

Hard hats will be handed out for team photos and orange construction pylons will mark the tee boxes at each hole.

Teams are encour-aged to wear their own construction-related costumes as well.

Former LPGA professional A. J. Eathorne will return to her home course to act as emcee for the Saturday night dinner.

Guest said efforts are being made to attract golfers from

throughout the South Okanagan-Similka-meen, who will also benefit from the hos-pital expansion.

Registration for this year’s tourney is now underway. Contact the Pentic-ton Golf and Country

Club at 250-492-5626 or email [email protected].

The cost includes two rounds of golf, a light supper on the Friday night and a full dinner on Satur-day night.

A portion of the entry fee is a charit-able donation to Tees Up For Cancer with an official tax receipt. Registrations will be accepted to just a few days prior to the tournament.

Golf tournament raises funds for new Patient Care TowerThe regular meeting of municipal council

was held on June 8 in council chambers. The mayor and all councillors were present.Variance permit approved

Council approved a development permit to allow a winery building at 5914 Gartrell Rd.

The permit allows the winery to be located four metres from an interior side yard and 4.5 metres from an exterior side yard. An existing driveway must be relocated a minimum of 15 metres to the east to ensure minimum sight line distances.Temporary use permit approved

Council approved a temporary use permit to allow agri-tourism accommodation at 9114 Hoofbeat St.

The permit is for a three-year period.Permit issued

Council approved a development permit for 4816 Nixon Rd.

The permit protects the environmental values within the Environmentally Sensitive Development Permit Area.Surge protection devices available

Summerland residents will be given the option to purchase meter socket surge pro-tection devices at cost from the municipal-ity.

The resolution comes following the power surge event on Nov. 26, 2014, which damaged electrical metres, appliances and electronics in homes in Trout Creek.

Municipal staff will continue to work with Primary Engineering to improve the munici-pal electrical system’s ability to protect against future power surge events.Property leased

The municipality will lease a portion of municipally-owned property to Rosa Paglioc-chini for five years at the rate of $120 a year.

The family has leased the 0.4-hectare parcel from the municipality since Jan. 1, 2000.

Coun. Erin Carlson opposed the resolution because of the amount charged.Games bid supported

The municipality will provide support to the City of Penticton’s bid to host the 2018 or 2019 55+ B.C. Games.

The municipality also gave its support to an in-kind contribution for the use of Dale Mead-ows Sports Complex, Summerland Arena, Summerland Curling Club and the Summer-land Rodeo Grounds.

Premier Christy Clark has apologized for wrongly claiming an RCMP investiga-tion was underway in relation to several

former health min-istry researchers who the government fired in 2012.

Clark character-ized the investigation claims as an error but said little more

when reporters asked her why the claims weren’t recanted until RCMP docu-ments were released to the Vancouver Sun under Access to Information.

“It was a mistake that was made and that’s why we apolo-gized for it,” Clark said. “When govern-ment makes mistakes government has an obligation to apolo-gize.”

The released docu-ments show the RCMP closed their file in the summer of 2014 because the force never received information from the province justifying a criminal investiga-tion.

Health Minister Terry Lake told repor-

ters he was never informed the Moun-ties weren’t investi-gating. The province previously admitted the firings were a mis-take and settled out of court with most of the employees. One researcher committed suicide.

NDP MLA Adrian Dix said the govern-ment intentionally misled the public for years on the RCMP probe and wrongly smeared the research-ers despite legal advice against mentioning police involvement.

This past week we had a successful fund-raiser for our Summer Arts Program at the Summerland Seniors Drop in Centre.

The Thursday Night Jazz Band per-formed a jazz concert featuring big band music from the Glenn Miller era.

There were 77 people in attendance and quite a few made it out onto the dance floor. A big thank you to the band as well as all our sponsors for making this evening a huge success.

The Summer Arts Program has been running for more than 12 years, each summer with new and exciting cours-

es for children ages three to 18. Not only do we have fun classes for the little ones but we offer advanced classes for older students too.

This year we are offering a brand new Young Adult Writ-ing course which mixes the arts with the academic for stu-dents planning on attending post-sec-ondary institutions.

This course will feature units on cre-ative writing as well as technical writing like how to develop a good thesis – something every university stu-dent needs to know.

Other advanced arts classes include learning how to wet

felt using wool fibres, hot, soapy water and elbow grease.

There is also a clay working class, a car-toon drawing class, painting, wood whit-tling and a theatre class specifically for older students. Our instructors are great at

adapting course con-tent to the needs of the learners in the class.

So if you are, or know a teen looking for something to do this summer, check out our brochure online at summer-landarts.com, stop by the Arts Centre 9908 Main St. for a bro-chure or call Carmen at 250-494-4494.

Our younger classes fill up quickly too, so register soon to reserve your child’s spot.

Premier Christy Clark has issued

a warning that demands for new taxes to rein in ris-ing real estate prices could have serious

undesired effects and are largely rooted in mistaken percep-tions.

She was respond-ing to a call from Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson for the province to charge a higher Prop-erty Transfer Tax on the most expen-sive properties, cre-ate a speculation tax on short-term flip-pers, and give cities more power to track ownership and dis-courage the practice of leaving investment homes vacant.

“It’s important that we consider any actions carefully to make sure we are helping first-time homebuyers get into the market while pro-tecting the equity of existing homeowners – not just simply rais-ing more taxes for government,” Clark said in a letter to Rob-ertson.

Driving down home prices 10 per cent would mean an

$800,000 home losing $80,000 in equity and Clark said that could put some residents with large mortgages underwater.

Clark noted local buyers, not foreign-ers, are responsible for most real estate activity in the region.

“For many indi-viduals and small businesses, this is a source of investment income.”

The premier said the province is act-ively looking at what it can do.

But she suggested the City of Vancou-ver can do more itself to address affordabil-ity by reducing civic fees and levies that add up to more than $76,000 of the price of a new $450,000 condo.

The B.C. Real Estate Association estimates foreigners account for no more than five per cent of home ownership and real estate activity in the region.

Pedal powerThe cycling portion of the Man of Steel Triathlon began early Saturday morning. The event had individual and team categories for all ages.

June 6, the Satur-day of Action Festival was an exciting day in Summerland.

A glorious sunny day, with temper-atures to soar up to 30 C, competitors were prepared to sizzle up their race routes.

Starting at 7 a.m., the bikers of the Man of Steel Triath-lon took off around the famous Giant’s Head Mountain landmark.

The 10-kilometre loop was breezed through by the avid racers on their first of three laps to complete their 30-km distance.

Our youth of Sum-merland was well represented as young triathletes and triath-lon teams completed

their single 10-km loop.

The next portion of the Man of Steel Tri-

athlon was the 9 a.m. swim.

Youngsters and recreational athletes

swam 16 lengths (400 metres) or up to 32 lengths (800 metres) for the full distance triathletes and teams.

The pool was filled with cheering team-mates, family mem-bers and friends as times were recorded for each swimmer.

Family teams are a great opportun-ity to get everyone involved.

The Mitchell Family for example, had Uncle Dave Mitchell ride the bike, six-year-old Payton Mitchell completed the 16-length swim, while three-year-old brother Emerson geared up for his five-kilometre walk-run for the second time in his young life.

E i g h t - y e a r - o l d teammates, the Domin8tors were all excited to be in their

first triathlon as a team.

After Giant’s Head School completed their own marathon running program last week, it seemed the whole school got reeved up with healthy activity led by Principal Darcy Mullin to also enter the community run races.

After a much deserved break, the young athletes took to the streets of Sum-merland to enjoy the Action Festival Parade at 10 a.m., the midway and maybe a nap.

By 5:30 p.m. the library green space was full of Giant’s Head Runners warm-ing up to music and exercises led by fit-ness instructor Lynn Ellis of the Recreation Department.

This warm up always gets people connected and in the spirit of a community event that is all about health, personal chal-lenge and fun.

A sea of yellow could be seen in all distances as the new race shirt was being proudly sported.

At the start line, our five Summerland principals and vice principals who have been our ambassa-dors for this year’s Giant’s Head Run all met for a pre-race photo.

As ambassa-dors, they all have embraced the import-ance of healthy active living to their schools and students by leading by example. They are Jeff Redden, Trout Creek School; Sheena Fowlie, Sum-merland Montessori School; Darcy Mul-lin, Giant’s Head Elementary; Chris Van Bergeyk, Sum-merland Secondary School and Darryl Tenisci of Summer-land Middle School.

The finish line was victorious for all 621 participants.

First five-kilometre finisher, Gabriel Girard (Male 16-18 category) finished in at a time of 22:23 while Ben Thistle-wood, was the first to finish for the 10-km in a time of 35:47 (Male 19-39 category).

Families with strollers and children

who would walk, run and rest were so proud to get their participation ribbons for competitors seven years or younger.

With the 22 cat-egories of the Giant’s Head Run, all the results can be found on the District’s web-page summerland.ca or direct to the tim-ing page at sports-tats.ca.

Thank you for our amazing crew of vol-unteers who make this event possible, safe and fun. Thank you to the District of Summerland, the Recreation staff team, Public Works and Parks staff who continue to endless-ly work to keep our parks beautiful and make our events a success.

Black Press

The referees decid-ed that it was time to end the game once water bottles were being used as project-iles.

On Monday at the Memorial Arena in Penticton, the Kelowna Raiders

were in town to take on the South Oka-nagan Flames junior B lacrosse team. Early in the third, close to 10 bottles were thrown onto the play-ing surface from the Raiders bench, which was reacting to a pen-alty.

“I’ve never seen

anything like that before — that was weird,” said Flames Chris Pond.

The forward, who sits atop the Thomp-son Okanagan Jun-ior Lacrosse League scoring stats, “came ready to play” earn-ing 13 points en route to a 15-6 victory.

Pond said the Raiders seemed to be upset throughout the game, but he isn’t sure what sparked the final frustration. The Flames four goals in as many shots in the third period, earning Pond the double hat trick, didn’t help.

Less than five min-utes into the final per-iod the disgruntled Raiders resorted to chucking their water bottles.

In the first period,

the Raiders clocked 19 penalties, com-pared to the Flames four.

With an extra 15 minutes of power play, the Flames were able to take a 5-2 lead by the end of the first.

The Raiders showed some life in the second per-iod, by scoring four goals, but the Flames out powered them with six of their own, bringing the tally to 11-6 after 40 minutes.
