Jarrett Steeves, four years old, was one of many children who enjoyed the recent mild spring weather at the playground in Memorial Park.

Summerlanders will pay more on their tax bills this year, but the amount of the increase has not yet been finalized. The municipal finance committee has recommended a one per cent increase for this year, but Mayor Janice Perrino said such an increase does not bring in much additional money. A one per cent increase adds around $63,000 to municipal coffers. “It doesn’t do very much but it allows us to put something into reserves,” she said. The municipality collects around $5.9 million in taxes. The total budget is between $25 million and $28 million. Additional revenues come from grants and from rentals and the sale of services. Perrino and others on council have been committed to keeping taxes and tax increases as low as possible. From 2008 to 2011, the tax increases came to five per cent over the three years. From 2005 to 2008, tax increases came to 15 per cent. While the proposed tax increase is low, increases in utility rates are more significant. Summerland’s water rate increased by five per cent last January, sewer rates rose by three per cent and electrical rates rose by four per cent at the beginning of this year. Municipal treasurer Ken Ostraat said capital projects and preventative maintenance upgrades are in the works for all Summerland utilities.

Candidates spent on election Figures released by municipality by Barbara Manning Grimm Mayor Janice Perrino spent the least on her campaign for the November 2011 municipal election and Coun. Peter Waterman spent the most. Perrino was returned

by acclamation, so she spent nothing. Waterman spent $1,696.94. The figures were released this week by the District of Summerland following a deadline earlier this month for the candidates to report their election expenses. The second highest amount was reported by first-time Coun. Martin

Van Alphen, who spent $1,547.32. That was exactly the same amount spent by his wife, school trustee Linda Van Alphen, who was returned to office in the election. Coun. Orv Robson reported $1,282.92 followed by Coun. Lloyd Christopherson at $951. Next was Donna Wright, who was not elected, at

$895.86; and Coun. Bruce Hallquist, who was, at $766.99. Jim Kyliuk spent $488.32 and was not elected, and Coun. Peter Robert HackWaterman ing spent $481.48 and was elected. The two who spent the

least were not elected: Gordon Clark, $392.42; and Ken Roberge, $180. Linda Beaven, who was elected school trustee along with Van Alphen, spent $612.52. Candidates who were not elected spent as follows: Christine Petkau, $1,225.57; Terry Green, $595.44; Rob Melle, $511.32; and Dale MacDonald, $60.

POLICE REPORT Gas siphoned On March21, police were called after around $30 worth of fuel was siphoned from a parked vehicle. The vehicle was parked in the driveway of a home on Jubilee Road. Police say they have received other recent reports of fuel theft.

Man arrested On March 25 at 11:50 a.m., police were called about a suspicious person seen north of Summerland. A man was arrested on three outstanding warrants and taken to cells in Penticton. The warrants included two for assault and one for uttering threats.

Suspension issued On March 25 at 9 p.m., police stopped a motorist on Rosedale Avenue. Police say the driver, a 17-year-old woman, was impaired by drugs. She was issued a driving suspension.

Wiens applies to move murder trial to Kelowna Former RCMP offer had worked in Summerland by Kristi Patton Black Press An application has been made by Keith Wiens’ counsel to have his trial for second-degree murder moved from Penticton to Kelowna. Wiens, the former

RCMP officer who at one point worked at the Summerland detachment before his retirement in 2001, is alleged to have shot and killed his 55-yearold common-law partner Lynn Kalmring in their Penticton home on Aug. 16. Defence counsel Neil Skogstad put forward an application at the Penticton courthouse on Mon-

day before Justice Alison Beames to have the trial moved to Kelowna. It had been scheduled to begin June 11 in Penticton. Skogstad said outside the courtroom that "negative" press coverage that has surpassed other high profile investigations that involved violence in Penticton was the reason behind the applica-

tion. Skogstad was referring to a violent attack that occurred in the summer on a Penticton woman at a second-hand store and a stabbing at a grad bush party that led to the death of a Penticton teen. In January, Wiens appeared in B.C. Supreme Court for a bail hearing after being taken into custody for allegedly

violating his bail conditions. His bail was revoked at that time. The application hearing to have the venue of the trial changed is scheduled to occur the week of April 10. Justice Beames noted that it would most likely occur on April 11, due to counsel availability, at Supreme Court in Kelowna.

Driver impaired On March 20 at 2 p.m., police were called with reports of a possible impaired driver in the downtown area. The driver, who was showing signs of impaired driving, was stopped on Victoria Road North. He was processed for impaired driving.

Participation urged for Earth Hour Summerlanders are being encouraged to spend a bit of time without power on Saturday evening during Earth Hour. Earth Hour is an initiative to raise awareness about energy use. Residents are asked to turn off the power for one hour that evening, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. A sign-up for Earth Hour is available through FortisBC at fortisbc.com/ ELECTRICITY/ POWERSENSE/ INYOURCOMMUNITY/EARTHHOUR/ P a g e s / Ta k e - t h e pledge.aspx or by signing a form at municipal hall. If Summerland has

the most people per capita in the region participating, the Summerland Asset Development Initiative will receive a $5,000 energy upgrade. Mayor Janice Perrino said Summerland won the competition two years ago and she would like to see that success repeated. She said Earth Hour is important because it forces people to think about electrical consumption. “I think it makes us aware of how important electricity is,” she said. “It’s a slow but steady attitude adjustment and that’s important.”

Examining taxes As the municipality prepares its 2012 budget, one thing is certain: Taxes will go up once again this year although the amount of the tax increase has not yet been determined. The municipal finance committee has recommended a one per cent increase in property taxes for this year. If approved, the increase would be reminiscent of the zero and one per cent increases which were common in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This low increase reflects a push by some to keep tax rates as low as possible. During the last municipal election in November, mayor and councillor candidates across the province were urged to sign a pledge from the Canadian Federation of Taxpayers, promising not to riase taxes beyond the rate of inflation. At first glance, such a pledge seems reasonable, but it does not take into account the increasing costs municipalities will face. In Summerland, several large projects have been undertaken in recent years, depleting the municipality’s reserves. The one per cent tax increase has been recommended in order to replenish these reserves. An increase of one per cent adds just $63,000 to the municipality’s funds — a small fraction of the total budget of $25 million to $28 million. At best, it allows the municipality to continue to provide its present level of service to the public, but leaves no room for additional expenses which may arise. The finance committee members are working to keep the tax rate under control and we appreciate their efforts. Still, at the end of the day, it will be up to the members of our municipal council to determine whether a one per cent increase would be sufficient or whether it would be too stringent.

An archaic prohibition against exporting wine across provincial boundaries is likely coming to an end. This will be good for Summerland wineries, whose customers will be able to take bottles home to Alberta and other provinces without worrying about the outdated law. MP Dan Albas is shepherding a private member’s bill through Parliament and its passage will be welcome news for wineries.

Payroll control and the BCTF VICTORIA – Both NDP leader Adrian Dix and his education critic Robin Austin have recently tried to sell the media a fictitious story about the party’s successful history of negotiations with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. With the ritual combat between the BCTF and the B.C. government flaring once again in early March, Dix bragged to reporters that the last time he was involved Tom Fletcher in teacher talks, it resulted in a 0-0-2 wage settlement. That was in 1998, when Dix was working for then-premier Glen Clark. The real 1998 story is useful, because then as now, the B.C. government was in a financial squeeze and looking at a huge set of negotiations with government unions in health and other sectors as well as education. Glen Clark, an ex-industrial union organizer, was known for pushing negotiators aside and taking control of hot files. The premier’s office took the lead in teacher talks, trying to set a strong precedent for low wage settlements similar to today’s “net zero” mandate. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, representing the school districts, was marginalized and treated with the same disdain that the BCTF still reserves for them. And the result was an agreement where the union bartered higher wages for hun-

dreds more positions and other benefit gains. This was one of the key mistakes that led to today’s showdown over class size and composition. Once trustees got a look at the premier’s 1998 deal, they refused to sign. For the first and only time, the government had to legislate the settlement on school boards. The BCTF membership endorsed the 1998 deal by a large margin, and it did indeed set the tone for other union

“illegal stripping” of union contract terms that was struck down in April, 2011 by the B.C. Supreme Court. A closer reading of Justice Susan Griffin’s decision shows that she gave Education Minister George Abbott an out. If the province replaces staffing level bargaining with “an equivalent process of good faith consultations or negotiation, then the legislation might not be an interference with freedom of association….”

One of the first things I had to learn as a private sector manager is that if you don’t control your budget, you aren’t really a manager. settlements in the late 1990s. Press reports at the time put the total cost of this supposed wage freeze at an 11-per-cent increase in the provincial payroll. Before I get into the court battles that followed after the NDP government was dumped, there is a business principle here. One of the first things I had to learn as a private sector manager is that if you don’t control your budget, you aren’t really a manager. And no one who lets authority over staffing levels slip away can possibly control their budget. Control over staffing levels is what the NDP let slip to the BCTF in 1998. And it is what the B.C. Liberals took back in 2002, with legislation that removed class size and composition from bargaining. In the constantly repeated BCTF rhetoric, this was the

Bill 22 was written with this decision in mind, reasserting the government’s control over the payroll with a $165 million fund for special needs and a mediator to demonstrate those “good faith consultations.” University of Victoria business professor Ken Thornicroft noted last week that ceding control over class size to the union amounts to delegating authority over spending to someone who is not elected. The legality of that will no doubt be examined in the BCTF’s next courtroom assault on the provincial treasury. It’s an important comparison for voters. Which party is better able to represent the public interest in hardball negotiations with 300,000 unionized employees?

bad apples Every year off-road drivers and riders tear up more of the natural terrain around Summerland. They use fourw h e e l - d r i ve vehicles, allterrain vehicles and dirt bikes for hill climbing, mud bogging and other activities that are hard on the environment. Soil erodes, weeds replace native vegetation and wildlife habitat is disturbed. Now that spring is here, let’s try to stick to the roads and established trails in Summerland’s wild areas.

Look to clubs to run housing projects Dear Editor: As more and more households have two incomes, many prospective home owners are able to pay a lot more for a home than

it is worth. That is one of many reasons Canadian real estate has become overpriced. The price of a home is no longer based on

what it is worth; it’s determined by what we are perceived to be able to pay. While Summerland city council is all excited about what they

term a “revolutionary” style of housing development they are entertaining for the property where the current RCMP building is located, they

might want to look at the Sunrise Village on Raymer Avenue in Kelowna. This is a similar development, where homes are located

on privately owned land with short term leases. One of the main reasons why this format is not very common, let alone popu-

Happy blossoms

April is Daffodil Month, but since we couldn’t find a photo of daffodils, we thought we’d show you peach blossoms. Summerland’s entry in the 1951 Penticton Peach Festival parade won first prize for community floats. Marguerite Menu, Miss Summerland, was surrounded by five little bloomers: Barbara Fudge, Gail Henker, Lynn Bleasdale, Marilyn McKay and Lynn Boothe, whose “winning smiles brought spontaneous applause from the thousands who lined the parade route.” Be sure to pick up a Canadian Cancer Society Daffodil this month. It will be much easier to wear than these peach blossoms, plus you’ll be supporting a worthwhile cause.

Conservatives should stick with coalition Dear Editor: As a staunch rightwinger, huge fan of Preston Manning, and early Reform Party volunteer for both John Cummins and Paul Forseth, I cannot express enough how deeply disappointed I am with the foolish and opportunistic B.C.

Conservative Party. A split on the right is simply not justified and right of centre voters should stick with the highly successful coalition strategy. The Reform Party split the right federally, but for me the game changer was “western alienation.”

Reform was in many ways antiestablishment, bucking the eastern domination of Canada and forging a more democratic ethos nationwide. It was a multidimensional cause worth fighting for. Think about it. Our prime minister is

from Alberta, and we have Reform to thank for that. Let’s not spoil the legacy of Reform in this province by giftwrapping the election for the NDP. There is no worthy cause to the Cummins campaign. It’s a short-term strategy to leverage

lar, is that the landlord can evict the tenants, by serving relatively short notice. Similar land use legislation applies to B.C. mobile home parks today. One of former Premier Gordon Campbell’s claims to fame was changing the Mobile Home Act so that land owners could turf their tenants by giving them only one year notice. As a result, a quarter of a million B.C. mobile home owners could be booted out of their parks with nowhere to go. Many have already lost their homes. Gordon Campbell’s loyal MLAs readily rubber stamped that legislation, while developers were celebrating. At the end of the day, does the city really have a mandate to try to compensate for an inflated housing market? Why should city taxpayers be on the hook for expensive rental property, when many of them cannot afford to buy their own home? If anything, why not approach the local service clubs and ask them to consider building and managing co-op housing developments similar to the Kiwanis tower in Kelowna. Anders E. Thomsen Summerland

Colorectal cancer screening available Residents of Summerland are eligible for screening for colorectal cancer offered at Penticton Regional Hospital. Currently in B.C. only Penticton, Powell River and parts of Vancouver have screening programs that people can contact to be tested for colorectal cancer. New Democrat leader Adrian Dix is launching a public service awareness campaign to encourage British Columbians between the ages of 50 to 74 to get checked for colorectal cancer, which can be prevented and stopped if caught

early enough. “Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Canada, and disproportionately affects people between 50 and 74. But chances of survival can increase to 90 per cent when polyps, where the cancer develops, are found and removed before they become dangerous tumors, or during the early stages of the disease,” said Dix. “Simply put, early detection works, and it saves lives and health care costs. However, too many individuals do not know that the time to

get checked is before they experience problems that could be symptoms, such as unexplained weight loss and hemorrhaging.” As part of the awareness campaign, Dix has prepared a public service announcement urging people between 50 and 74 to get screened. In the PSA, Dix shares how his mother survived colorectal cancer thanks to a combination of early detection and excellent primary care.‚ “The Canadian Partnership Against Cancer has found that while 80 per cent of Canadians recognize the importance of getting screened, 60 per cent do not understand that the time to get tested is before they start experiencing symptoms.” In the PSA, Dix also expresses his hopes for B.C. to join

the ranks of Ontario by rolling out a province-wide colorectal screening program: “According to recent data, only 37 per cent of people between 50 to 74 seek out preventative screening for colorectal cancer in B.C.” A recent study published in the B.C. Medical Association Journal showed how a significant proportion of colorectal cancer patients in Vernon were first diagnosed in the hospital emergency room. This emphasizes the importance of establishing a B.C.wide screening program. “The study, which tracked patients over a year, found that 43 per cent of patients with tumors in their colon or rectum were diagnosed at Vernon Jubilee Hospital’s emergency room after experiencing severe complications associ-

After a theft Lawrence Hopper examines the damage caused after signs for Bonitas Winery were stolen last week.

Winery signs taken The owner of a Summerland winery wants two signs, stolen last week, returned. Lawrence Hopper of Bonitas Winery said he is offering a reward for the return of the signs. A sandwich board sign, which had been displayed at Highway 97 and Matsu Drive, was stolen

three weeks ago, then returned and then removed again last Thursday. A second sign, on McDougald Road, was also taken on Thursday. Hopper is puzzled because the signs were taken during the day, between 2:30 and 3:45 p.m. The sign of McDougald Road was a large sign,

measuring one metre by 1.2 metres. Bolt cutters were used to remove the sign. Sgt. Mona Kauffeld of the Summerland RCMP detachment said police are continuing to investigate. “We’re following on leads we have,” she said. “We still can’t find who’s doing it.”

At the municipal council meeting on Monday evening, council passed a resolution to set a one-year contract with Implicit Holdings, with the option to extend the contract for four additional one-year terms. Members of council said the service they have received to date has been good. “The operator has done an excellent job,” said Coun. Bruce Hallquist. “The landfill has evolved

since he has been there.” While Coun. Peter Waterman was pleased with the service the municipality has received from Implicit Holdings, he questioned the resolution since he believes the landfill contract should have gone out as a request for proposals. “There are other contractors who should be given a look at the contract,” he said. Coun. Lloyd Christopherson said the contract can be revisited in the future, since it is for one year at a time. Hallquist said council can go to a request for proposals in the future. He

COUNCIL REPORT The regular meeting of municipal council was held on March 26 in council chambers. All members of council except Coun. Orv Robson were present.

Resolutions Steel buildings allowed A development variance permit was issued for 15823 Industrial Ave. for the placement of portable steel storage buildings. The variance reduces the side interior setback from 5.0 metres to zero metres and the rear setback from 7.5 metres to zero metres to allow for the placement of portable steel storage buildings.

Truck purchase approved Council gave early approval for a 2012 Chevrolet half-ton truck for the Summerland Fire Department. The cost of the truck is $26,864, including tax. The truck will replace a 16-year-old truck now in use by the fire department. The older truck will go to the parks and recreation department, for use by summer students.

Economic Gardening supported Council will contribute $10,000 to Community Futures for the Economic Gardening Project for 2012.

added that the oneyear contract makes the contractor more accountable to council than if a multi-year contract had been put

in place. The resolution was carried with Waterman opposed. Coun. Orv Robson was not present at

the council meeting. Mayor Janice Perrino excused herself from the discussion and vote on the resolution.

Here’s the basic idea: bleeding in your gums means that your body is fighting infection in your mouth. The bacteria under your gums cause them to bleed and we use the word inflammation to describe this process. You’ve probably heard your hygienist or dentist talk about gum disease or periodontal disease, this is inflammation in your mouth. This infection can spread, via the blood stream, from your mouth to everywhere else in your body. The same bacteria that are left under your gums can reach your heart and cause problems. Research has found that people with periodontal disease are almost twice as likely to suffer from coronary artery disease as those without periodontal disease. So, not looking after your bleeding gums can increase your risks for developing heart problems in the future. And if you already have heart problems (i.e. high blood pressure), active inflammation in your mouth could further increase your risk for heart attack or stroke. The great news is that your dentist can do something to help you prevent heart problems. I would recommend an oral screening of your gums and bone annually to assess your risk for inflammation (gum disease). If we find multiple bleeding points throughout your mouth, you are considered a high risk candidate for periodontal disease. I would further recommend that a “high risk” patient see a hygienist every three months so that the bacteria causing the inflammation be removed. These bacteria accumulate under your gums every six weeks and by removing them more frequently we can prevent them from spreading to your heart. This cleaning schedule will also lower your risk for periodontal disease, which can lead to tooth loss. Of course your hygienist will also have some great tips on what you can do in between visits to lower those bleeding points further. I like to think of your health care from a team approach. Your medical doctor, your cardiologist, your dentist and your hygienist can work together to help you achieve optimum oral and overall health. I believe that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Wouldn’t it be easier to have your teeth cleaned than have a heart attack? If you have a question for Dr. Melashenko please email welcome@goldenpeach.net or visit our website at www.goldenpeach.net. We always welcome new patients.

* Aerate. The height of drought season is not necessarily the best time to aerate, so the correct aeration schedule might be a preventive measure homeowners can take to help their lawn better cope with drought. Cool season lawns, which includes bluegrass, bent grass, fescues and rye grasses, grow best when temperatures are between 60 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit and might struggle mightily when the weather is especially hot and dry. August through early October is the best time to aerate cool season lawns. Warm season lawns include Bermuda grass, Zoysia grass, Buffalo grass and Saint Augustine grass, and these species grow best when the temperatures rise into the 80s and mid-90s. Late spring or early summer is the best time to aerate warm season lawns. So why aerate? Because aerating the lawn helps break up hard, compacted soil, allowing water, air and

Surviving drought during a water restriction

Homeowners can employ a few simple strategies to help their lawn survive summer drought, even during water restrictions. Homeowners don’t need to have a green thumb to know how taxing a drought can be on their lawns. Though summer is a laidback season for many people, those same high temperatures and sunny days that make summer so enjoyable can wreak havoc on a lawn during periods of drought. In response to drought, many communities institute water restrictions that limit how

much water a homeowner can use to water his or her lawn. These restrictions are wellintentioned and necessary, but lawns that need water still need to survive the summer heat. There are a few steps homeowners can take to help their lawn survive drought during a water restriction. * Extend intervals between cuts. Mowing the lawn is necessary, but whenever a lawn is mowed the grass is stressed. Since grass is already stressed during a drought, try to extend the periods between cuts as long as possible. If a landscaping service tends

nutrients, each of which are essential to a healthy lawn, to reach the soil and strengthen the roots. Strong roots are essential for the lawn to survive, be it hot and dry temperatures in the summer or colder weather in the winter. * Buy a mulching mower. If you don’t already have one, purchase a mulching mower and employ the mulching feature during hot and dry periods. Remove the bag from your mower so the clippings are left on the lawn, where they will break down and provide the lawn nutrients it desperately needs.

to your lawn, negotiate with the foreman or another company representative so the maintenance crew knows not cut the lawn on its regular, nondrought schedule. * Help the lawn help itself. A lawn can actually help shield itself from drought, especially if homeowners are on board. When mowing, raise the decks of the mower so the grass can adequately shade itself from the blistering summer sun. Raising the decks also allows the lawn to maintain more water, which will be lost to evaporation if the lawn is cut too short.

Thursday, March 29, 2012 Summerland Review

The importance of participation The Summerland Chamber is a member-based organization. We are comprised of every single business license holder in Summerland, plus community groups and regional businesses. We are a large lobby group of 700 plus voices. We have the opportunity to make change happen. Over the past weeks, regular readers of the Summerland Review will have read about the Annual General Meeting of the chamber and the low voter turnout. Only 58 businesses cast ballots and participated in the elec-

tion of a new board of directors. Both our large membership and our low voter turn-out leads me to consider the importance of participation. Typically, in the business world, we hear about how “greed is good” and it is a “dog-eatdog” world but nothing could be further from reality. To have a successful business in a town such as Summerland, or anywhere if the “experts” are to be believed, you need to create partnerships, make connections and build bridges. Your chamber presents you with those

opportunities on a regular basis. Last week, A&A Mini Storage and Wine Cellar hosted a Business After Business. A Business After Business is where, once a month, people who own, manage, work at or for a member business (remember, that is all of the businesses in Summerland) come together to talk, catch up, share news or events, eat, laugh and drink. It is a powerful tool in becoming connected to the community, and to supporting local. At A&A Mini Storage and Wine Cellar, Lorraine and Cy, with

the help of Kim Lawton of DogLeg Marketing and Business Solutions, created an opportunity to prove the validity of connections as a business tool. As part of the Business After Business, Lorraine built, with the help and support of local Summerland businesses, a goodie bag for each guest. These were not your regular party prizes. They were filled with Summerland connections. Why is this important? Those goodie bags were both practical and symbolic. The practical includes low cost and direct marketing for the

businesses who participated, an incentive for guests to support local business and services, and it was fun to receive. The symbolic is the power of community working together for success. The Business After Business had great participation with over 60 people attending, sharing, talking and making connections. Who knows where those connections will lead? Did we learn about a business that we didn’t know was in Summerland, did we find a way to partner with someone different, did we exchange

CHAMBER CORNER

Lisa Jaager information with a potential supplier or distributor, and did we find a new customer? All of that happens, regularly, at a Business After Business when there is participation. The more businesses that participate, the more

connections are made. The more we work at it, the more it leads us to new work. The Business After Business is an opportunity for every business in Summerland: trades, retail, manufacturing, tourism, home-based, agriculture, health care, public service. Everyone. Come out to the next Business After Business on April 17 at Avery Law Office, 5 to 7 p.m. Details at summerlandchamber.com or follow us on Facebook (Summerland Chamber.) Lisa Jaager is the manager of the Summerland Chamber.

Summerlanders show excellence at crokinole Several Summerland crokinole players performed well at the provincial championships earlier this month. The championships were held in Oliver, drawing par-

ticipants from around the province and beyond. Ed Ripley said there are 10 to 12 regular crokinole players in Summerland. Half of them attended the championship com-

petition. “We are active and we are doing well,” he said. He said the game, which was developed in Canada, is popular among all ages. “It’s a real handson game,” he said.

“Older people are attracted to it because they remember it, but there are so many younger people attracted to it too.” In the doubles competitive category, Jordon and Ed Ripley

of Summerland took second place. Charlene and Tyler Ripley placed second

in doubles recreational while Darlene Cederholm and Doug Willis placed fourth.

Jordon Ripley, 11, won first place in the singles recreational category.

A fundraising sale

FREE ESTIMATES & INSTALLATION

People were lined up at 8 a.m. on Saturday morning to get into the Mercy Tech Mission Garage Sale for a Garage. The Summerland Baptist Church gym was packed with donated items dropped off by church and community members alike, and hundreds of people came through during the sale. The event raised more than $4,800 for Mercy Tech’s work in Africa, where volunteers teach trades to the local people.

Trail improvements get provincial funds I can recall back in the early spring of 2004 running into three youth skateboarders in the early evening who were out enjoying the terrain around a Penticton commercial building that had closed for business for the day. I had a chance to have a brief conversation with them and the one wish they all shared was for a proper skateboarding venue that they could all enjoy. It was not long after that a delegation of local youth led by Janine Sentes began working on a dream to see a proper skate park built somewhere within the city. Former Penticton Mayor David Perry, council and staff were keen to work with this group and soon a location had been identified and funding was the last major hurdle. Fortunately at that time working with my now-retired colleague Rick Thorpe, when attempting to secure provincial funding of $9.7 million towards the SOEC facility, we were also able to secure close to $400,000 to fund construction of the new Penticton skate park. The Penticton skate park as we now know has been a huge success and has kept hundreds of kids active and engaged in the great outdoors. In terms of government spending, this

VICTORIA VIEWS

Bill Barisoff funding has gone a long way in helping to promote physical fitness and active healthy living. I was reminded of the Penticton Skate Park this past week with some similar announcements that I believe will also be a great investment in helping to promote healthy active outdoor activities. The first funding announcement is for close to $140,000 in upgrades for the Kettle Valley rail trail near Vancouver Hill. While $140,000 does not go far in road construction, for a trail this can fund five and a half kilometers of improvements. These improvements will also increase accessibility for people with wheelchairs, mobility aids or strollers and of course young children first starting out to ride. Another project announced is close to half a million in funding to create a new pedestrian trail from the foot of West Bench

Hill which will connect residents to the elementary school, community parks, linear Kettle Valley Rail corridor and the City of Penticton. This will be a great new addition to the existing trail network in the area as there is currently no existing pedestrian corridor to link these areas together and this will provide safe pedestrian access. These trail corridor improvements need your support. With spring fast approaching now is the perfect time to get out your walking shoes and take in a new area of the community. On a different theme late last week I was pleased to announce two funding grants for local organizations to help combat crime. The grants were modest, totalling just over $24,000; however, what was notable is that the funding source of the grants was money obtained through the proceeds of crime legislation. In other words funds recovered from the proceeds of crime are now being used in communities across British Columbia to help support crime reduction strategies. I would like to congratulate the Penticton Vees on moving into the second round of the BCHL playoffs. Go Vees Go! Bill Barisoff is MLA for Penticton.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Alternate dispute resolution A recent Statistics Canada report shows that only 12% of Canadians earn more than $50,000 per year and only 2% earn over $100,000 per year. The "average" Canadian male earned $39,000 per year and the "average" Canadian female $25,000 per year. It is not hard to see from those numbers that there are not a lot of extra dollars floating around a household. Anyone who has had to deal with a matter in Court can tell you the rising cost of justice in Canada. It is said now that if you have a civil claim in Vancouver that's under $200,000 it's better to walk away from it than try to take it to Court. That is a very bitter pill to swallow for most people. The answer lies in developing alternate methods of resolving disputes. Mediation and Arbitration can be very cost effective if everyone agrees on the format. What will happen is anyone's guess.

Nader and Simin are a wellbehaved middle class Iranian couple – they hold decent jobs, fight quietly and prefer to resolve their domestic differences in court. Simin would like to emigrate from Iran to provide a better future for their daughter but Nader refuses to go, believing that he must stay and care for his aging father who has Alzheimers. Simin forces the issue and files for divorce thereby drawing Nader’s entire family into a complex courtroom feud. This riveting, powerful drama explores conflicts that cut across gender, class and cultural boundaries. (14A, Subtitled)

NOTICE

by the standing committee on finance. Review stage is a technical process where expert witnesses have an opportunity to discuss proposed legislation with an all party panel of Parliamentarians. It has been very rewarding to have opposition support for my bill thus far and the passionate interest from the emerging wine industry of Nova Scotia has also been very much appreciated. The review process is scheduled for the next two weeks and following that process potentially would be reported back to the House of Commons for third reading debate. If there is passage from the third reading debate the bill would be referred to the Senate, the final process before royal assent can be granted. Wednesdays are traditionally the busi-

est in Ottawa as it is caucus day where the various caucuses will meet to discuss the current parliamentary agenda and other issues of importance. For the opposition this will likely be a very busy week as changes will be made to accommodate the transition to the new leader. Thursday of this week will be a very unique one as this will also be budget day in Ottawa. This will be one of the more anticipated budgets in recent years largely on account of the need to reduce spending in light of the current economic situation. It will also be the first budget in recent memory from a majority government. As an observer of past federal budgets I noted there was often a trend where spending was increased in a variety of different areas in order to secure support for

the budget passage in a minority government. In my report next week I will provide more information regarding the budget and I also encourage taxpayers with questions to contact me if there is an area of spending you would like more information on. On Friday the budget debate will begin and I expect it will be a vigorous if not voracious debate, and more so as the debate will not be tempered by potential for a confidence vote as was the case in previous budgets during minority governments. On Saturday I will be back in OkanaganCoquihalla country and in the community of West Kelowna to celebrate the municipality in being named as one of the five finalists in the 2012 Kraft Hockeyville competition.

the work being done on these items. As we can see, there are a number of issues on the agenda in Ottawa that are important to Okanagan-Coquihalla, that directly affect the quality of life for our residents. Whether we are talking about opening up the market for B.C.’s wine industry through lifting long standing interprovincial trade barriers, increasing funding to important social programs like health care or ensuring that we return to balanced budgets in the medium term. These are important issues and I appreciate the input I receive on regular basis from taxpayers who want to see these and other issues addressed.

Summerland Review Thursday, March 29, 2012

Gold and bronze at karate nationals Two members of the Taneda Karate Dojo competed at the 2012 Karate Canada National Champion-

ships in Richmond the weekend before last. Claire Boothe won gold in the

16/17-year-old -47kg Kumite (sparing) and Jackson Tribe captured the bronze in the 14/15-year-old

Karate gold Claire Boothe won gold in the 16/17-year-old -47kg Kumite (sparing) at the 2012 Karate Canada National Championships in Richmond.

-63kg Kumite. Boothe, competing in her third national championships, had a great tournament. Competing in the final event of day two she had the entire B.C. team behind her cheering her on. With all the support of the team behind her she was able to win every one of her four fights on her way to winning gold and becoming national champion. The gold medal match was entertaining and went back and forth for the entire match. Tribe, in his first nationals, had a breakthrough tournament. The way the draw worked out Jackson had to do four fights in a row with little break in between. Tribe won the first two easily and managed to hang on to win the third. By the fourth fight Jackson was getting pretty tired but he managed to take an early lead in the fight. His opponent managed to tie the fight and even take the lead with 15 seconds to go. This put Tribe in a tight spot trailing the fight with 15 seconds to go and no gas left in his tank but he managed to find the energy he needed to score a nice punch at

the buzzer to tie the fight. Unfortunately Tribe lost the referee decision that would have put him in the gold medal match. Tribe dug deep at the end to even make it to the referee decision. Tribe ended up with the bronze medal. By placing in the top three both Boothe and Tribe have qualified to be members of the Canadian National Team. As members of the National Team

Boothe and Tribe are both eligible to represent Canada at the Pan-American Championships in Cancun Mexico at the end of August. Boothe will also represent Canada at the North America Cup in Las Vegas on April 5. Both Boothe and Tribe will represent Canada at the U.S. Open in Las Vegas on April 8. The members of the Taneda Karate Dojo were coached by Mike Ditson of the Taneda Karate Dojo.

Ditson has been a member of the B.C. Team coaching staff for four years. He will also be coaching these athletes at the North America Cup, Junior Olympics and U.S. Open in Las Vegas next month. For more information contact the Dojo office by phone at 250768-2241, by email at tanedakaratedojo@ shaw.ca, on the web site at www.tanedakaratedojo.com or on Facebook page at facebook.com/tanedakaratedojo

Hockeyville announcement awaited On Saturday evening, West Kelowna will find out whether it will wear the Kraft Hockeyville crown in 2012 and host an NHL exhibition game this fall. CBC will be broadcasting live throughout the day from Royal LePage Place and in celebration, organizers have a day full of events planned at the arena

leading up to the live televised broadcast of the Vancouver Canucks game at 7 p.m. and the winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement at approximately 7:45 p.m. West Kelowna is the only Okanagan community still in the Hockeyville competition. Summerland, an earlier contender, was eliminated from

eyville merchandise for sale and live music and performances throughout the day. A free family public skate will be offered starting at 1 p.m., followed by a Firefighters vs Media hockey game starting at 2:45 p.m. Doors open to the public for the Canucks game at 6:15 p.m.
