by John Arendt Two new grant in aid requests, worth $25,000, have been denied while a decision on a third request, worth $5,000 will be considered later. The requests were presented at the municipal council meeting on Monday evening. Council denied a $20,000 request from the Summerland Recreational Society, Lakeshore Racquets Club to cover the repair costs and upgrades to the parking lot. A request from the Museum and Heritage Society for $5,000 to move items to the RCMP station for storage was also denied. Council members said Lakeshore Racquets Club is on one of Summerland’s most valuable

and most highly taxed properties. In addition, the racquets club has not increased its rates for several years. “I don’t see why staff should have to work with this organization to get its house in order,” said Coun. Lloyd Christopherson. Mayor Janice Perrino said the municipality had earlier turned down funding requests for the Summerland Badminton Club and therefore must reject the request for Lakeshore Racquets Club. “It’s not fair to give to one and say no to another,” she said. “What we did for the badminton club we do for the racquets club. We treat our groups the same.” The motion to deny this funding request was passed unanimously. The request for the Museum and Heritage Society was also questioned by council. See COUNCIL Page 8

Bryan Magwood of the Summerland Fire Department hones his skills at a training session at the Summerland Rodeo Grounds. The Summerland and Penticton Fire Departments hosted the British Columbia Fire Training Officers Conference last week. More than 200 participants from around the province attended.

The municipality has sent out its 2013 property tax notices which must be paid in just over a month. The tax notices are due Friday, July 5 at 4 p.m. and the homeowner grants, if eligible, must also be claimed by that time. For those who are late with their payments, the consequences can be significant as a 10 per cent penalty will be added to the outstanding current taxes after July 5. Taxes must be paid at Municipal Hall or online or through telephone banking.

There are property tax deferment programs in place. Those older than 55, widowed or receiving a disability allowance under the Disability Benefits Program Act may qualify. Families supporting a dependent child under the age of 18 may also qualify. If an unpaid tax bill remains outstanding the property can be put up for sale for the amount outstanding. The addresses and prices will be listed on the municipal website and in the Summerland Review by mid September. The property is sold to the highest bidder, but the purchaser has no legal rights to the property until one year after the date of the sale.

POLICE report Motorist impaired

On May 22 at 6 p.m., Summerland RCMP were called when a motorist stopped at a campsite at the north campground of Okanagan Lake Provincial Park. The man was smoking crack cocaine. Witnesses said he was also behaving belligerently. Police arrested the man who was charged with driving while impaired by drugs. His crack pipe was also seized.

Animals in vehicles

With the approach of warmer weather, police have received numerous calls about animals left in parked vehicles. The temperature in a parked car with the windows shut can quickly rise and will become too hot for a dog.

Presenting a message

Vishal Lekhi paid for a billboard with a mental health message. The billboard, visible at the north entrance to Penticton on Highway 97, will be in place until June 13 unless Lekhi receives funding to keep it in place beyond that time.

Message displayed about mental health by John Arendt

After coping with depression for more than a year and a half, Vishal Lekhi wanted to share a message urging people to talk about mental health and to get support. His message took the form of a billboard, visible from the north entrance to Penticton off Highway 97. The message reads, “Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of, but stigma and bias shames us all. Build a support network today.” The billboard cost Lekhi $800 for one month. It will remain in place until June 13, unless he

receives additional funding to pay for more time. He added that he did not receive any funding from a mental health organization for the billboard. In addition to the billboard, Lekhi has also set up a Facebook page, South Okanagan Mental Health Awareness. It can be found at https://www.facebook.com/SouthOkanaganMentalHealthAwareness. Lekhi said the message on the billboard is important to him because of his experiences with depression and anxiety during his first year of university. He coped with the

help of some friends who gave him the support he needed. “Luckily I had friends who were supportive. It helped a lot,” he said. “They never let me feel weak.” Too often, he said, those dealing with depression or other mental illnesses do not want to talk about what they are facing, a trend which needs to change. “When someone is mentally exhausted, they’ve been strong too long,” he said. The Canadian Mental Health Association raises awareness of mental health issues in May. Mental Health Week ran from May 6

EDITORIAL

our pick

Support for service Summerland’s community groups have once again asked municipal council for some financial help so they can continue their work. The problem is that the funding requested is greater than the amount of money available in municipal coffers. The total funding available for grant funding in this year’s budget is $291,600. The requests exceed this amount by more than $30,000. To accommodate all the additional funding requests, the municipality would have to raise taxes by an additional 0.5 per cent. It would be difficult for any council to justify a tax increase to increase grant in aid funding. However, a move in the opposite direction by reducing or eliminating grant in aid money to provide a tax reduction would be equally unwise. The groups which receive these grants are able to provide services to the community which could not be handled as cheaply or as efficiently if they were managed by the municipality. At the latest municipal council meeting, council agreed to provide $290,600 to 14 community organizations. The biggest allocations are for the Summerland Chamber at $200,000, the Summerland Museum and Heritage Society at $35,000 and Summerland Community Support at $20,000. These three items account for 88 per cent of the total grant funding and each of these items is important for the community as a whole. The decisions on which organizations will receive money and how much is given out are difficult for any elected body. While the municipality has a grant policy and other documents governing its support of nonprofit groups, these documents should be reviewed from time to time in order to ensure there is a clear direction in place as these grants are provided.

When Vishal Lekhi wanted to share a message about mental health, he paid the costs of renting a billboard off Highway 97. This effort is far more costly than many online initiatives in order to raise awareness, but the cost also provides a degree of credibility. When one is willing to pay for the costs of distributing a message, the result is a carefully worded and considered statement, not a rash comment.

BCTF digs in for endless war VICTORIA – Like those Japanese soldiers who didn’t hear about the end of World War II, the militant fringe that controls the B.C. Teachers’ Federation is digging in for endless battle against the B.C. government. Their nemesis, Premier Christy Clark, reiterated last week that seeking a 10-year agreement with the BCTF is a top priority Tom Fletcher when the legislature is recalled this summer. The current one-year truce ends June 30. The BCTF grudgingly agreed to that extension last year, then ran TV ads calling for an NDP government that promised concessions and union bosses on both sides of the negotiating table. “You know, I may be a lame duck,” outgoing BCTF president Susan Lambert crowed to cheering classroom-warfare radicals at the union’s convention in March, “but I think Christy’s goose is cooked.” We’ll never know how much this sort of gloating contributed to the epic collapse of the NDP, champion of public sector union members whose pay and benefits make them the new upper class. But I can tell you the prospects for sparing children from this ideological warfare are not good. Last week the B.C. Court of Appeal handed down an ivorytower decision that upheld the

“right” of teachers to bring their union demands into the classroom in the form of posters, buttons and black armbands that to some self-absorbed teachers symbolize the “death” of education. During the election campaign, The Globe and Mail carried a story on one of those mock elections held in schools around the province. An elementary-level student was quoted as saying she voted against the B.C. Liberals because Clark “caused a teachers’ strike.” If this kid was talking about the most recent strike, I wonder where she got that idea. In a negotiating performance that was appalling even by BCTF standards, Lambert and her team conducted months of disruptive workto-rule action before they could even articulate a wage and benefit demand. When they finally did, it was outrageously out of touch with reality. An indication of how the union’s ruling class wants to conduct itself in the classroom can be found in the latest issue of the BCTF newsletter to its members. Joanna Larson, president of the Prince Rupert union local, contributes an article headlined: “What kind of citizen do we hope to graduate from our K-12 public schools?” Larson first quotes the education ministry’s current goals. They include preparing citizens who are “creative, flexible, selfmotivated, and who have a positive self-image.”

Another goal is citizens who are “skilled and who can contribute to society generally, including the world of work.” Larson then mocks these goals, as follows: “Essentially, the Ministry of Education has a vision of citizens who will maintain the status quo, not rock the boat, and participate on a superficial level in aspects of political and societal change. It doesn’t challenge individuals to take direct action against exploitation, marginalization and violence.” In case you missed the political message, Larson later asserts: “The educated citizens we graduate from our schools cannot just be content to wear a pink shirt once a year…. Educated, engaged citizens must be willing to take direct action to change and shape our society for the better.” What is this ghastly “status quo” that must be challenged by “direct action”? In these campus-radical screeds, the final answer is generally the same: capitalism. This call to arms is a blend of the NDP election platform and a rant from the Occupy Vancouver squat of a couple of years ago. It’s no wonder we hear of students making BCTF picket signs in art class. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

bad apples The Summerland motorist who was arrested for driving under the influence of drugs last week should have known better. Whatever one’s thoughts on drug use, even crack cocaine use, someone under the influence of drugs or alcohol has no business whatsoever behind the wheel of a vehicle. This driver’s actions put all other road users at risk while he was driving. The result could have been tragic.

abandonment of the basic responsibility of everyone in a democracy country, i.e., the necessity of voting in every election. Democracy didn’t just happen. It was arrived at over long years of bitter struggle, of finally proclaiming that every citizen has an equal voice with every other person, i.e. one vote each. The tired old excuses: “no time,” “don’t know the issues,” “they’re all the same,” “my vote doesn’t matter” are, each and every one, a cop out. So it’s past time to adopt the Australian system of compulsory vote by a fine for all qualified voters who did not bother to vote. Perhaps that would awaken people. One thing is certain. Canada cannot be allowed to backslide into a pseudodemocracy, also known as a dictatorship. But that is happening now. Please be ready to explain to veterans and others why you could not, would not or did not vote. Sheila White Summerland

Significant efforts needed to draw tourists Dear Editor: Before spending millions of dollars promoting tourism, it might be prudent to have a hard look at why those precious tourist dollars are heading for other destinations. Local businesses have been allowed to deface the natural beauty of the Okanagan with the biggest and ugliest collection of corporate graffiti seen anywhere in Canada. The preoccupation

and overstated concerns associated with the use of pesticides, has allowed dandelions to proliferate to the extent they now represent another major eye sore on our valley. With no local bans on the use of those pesticides, this issue could be addressed without delay, and very little cost to tax payers. The non-stop, dawn-to–dusk high noise levels produced by boats,

bikes, and motor vehicles with flowthrough or no mufflers is nothing short of being obnoxious, and is turning a lot of people off. The irony is that all that noise is totally unnecessary. Thanks to powerful long life batteries, high performance electronic gadgets properly fitted should be able to satisfy anybody’s needs for noise and vibrations, without annoying other people.

Growing the population without building transportation infrastructure also carries a huge price tag. Not being able to get from one place to another in a reasonable length of time eats into your vacation, and the aggressive-bordering-dangerous driving habits that have been allowed to develop, keeps even more people out of the valley.

from out of town, out of province and out of country all tell us that the Okanagan has lost a lot of its appeal as a tourist destination, and that there is little motivation to come back. We tell them to

bring their passports. Gasoline south of the border is only about two-thirds of the rip-off prices we pay here. With the dollar at par, competitive prices on goods and

accommodation and an increase in purchases we can bring back across the border duty-free, turns a few days south of the border into a paid vacation. Andy Thomsen Summerland

Looking out for a bear frisbee Dear Editor: There is a small bear (thin, dull coat, scruffy looking), that visits the homes on Fyffe Road on a daily basis — sometimes several times a day. It seems curious about the everyday

activities at those homes, yards and gardens. A neighbour looked up from gardening to discover she had an audience of one small bear that was sitting close by watching her work in

her garden. Other neighbours have walked out of their respective back doors to find the bear sitting there, close enough that they could have shaken hands/paws with it.

We left our courtyard door open one day and Ross looked up from eating lunch to discover the bear at the sliding glass entry door (six feet away) watching him. It then leisurely inspected all the

2013

doors and windows as it meandered away. We now keep the courtyard door closed at all times. This bear visits our back yard on a daily basis, deposits scat, upsets the garbage can but doesn’t disturb the contents as there is nothing in there to tempt bears, scatters my gardening tools, sits

for a while to look things over and then departs, heading up the mountain to the next neighbour. At the last visit to our home, the bear upset the garbage can as usual, and then took the garbage can lid with it when it left. There was no wind that evening to blow the lid so one must conclude the bear

wanted a bear Frisbee for the next Teddy Bears’ Picnic. If anyone on Fyffe Road or environs spots a green garbage can lid with tooth and claw marks, in their yard, field, along the roadside, on the mountainside, please let me know and I will pick it up. Loretta and Ross Krauter Summerland

The NDP’s David Eby finished 785 votes ahead of Clark in election-night returns for VancouverPoint Grey, a result unlikely to be overturned by the addition of late ballots to the total.

Council considers grant in aid requests Continued from Page 1

Coun. Martin Van Alphen said the municipality had already approved $35,000 for the Museum and Heritage Society and $1,000 for the Heritage Commission in other funding requests. Coun. Peter Waterman said the additional $5,000 was for a one-time request. “They simply do not have the money to do this,” he said.

Critteraid, the cat sanctuary in Summerland, is in need of a few good, felineloving, compassionate and dedicated men and women who would be willing to volunteer three to four hours of their time, one day a week, to assist other Critteraid volunteers with the regular cleaning and maintenance of the sanctuary. Anyone interested in assisting can contact Critteraid volunteer Donna Booth at 250-494-9140 for further information.

Perrino said the municipality has already been generous to the museum, providing space in the basement of the RCMP building and providing shelving for artefacts. “At some point, the museum needs to step up to the plate,” she said. The motion to deny this funding request was carried with Waterman opposed. The third request, for $5,000 for overhead costs for the Summerland Asset Development Initiative, was put on hold. Speaking in favour of the request, Waterman said the youth organization plays an important role in Summerland. “This is to give our youth a place to go,” he said. “It’s a health aspect for our community and our community’s youth. We should be able to invest in our youth.” Perrino said the municipality should treat requests from Summerland Asset Development Initiative in the same way as requests from the Harold Simpson

Memorial Youth Centre are handled. “This is about fairness,” she said. Hallquist said the two organizations are not the same. The Summerland Asset Development Initiative’s building is maintained by the municipality while the Harold Simpson Memorial Youth Centre owns its building and pays its own maintenance costs. The funding request will be considered later, after municipal staff members prepare further information. A fourth request, to help cover the costs of the Sister City trip to Toyokoro, Japan, received support. Summerland’s Blossom Queen, two princesses, Miss Congeniality and two chaperones will be part of the delegation in September. As has been done with other requests for youth initiatives, the municipality will provide $500 for each of the youth participating, but will not provide funding to pay for the chaperones.

Summerland’s entire grant in aid budget this year came to $291,600. Money approved in the budget came to $268,100. An addition $20,500 had been previously approved by council. The largest of the grants was $200,000 to the Summerland Chamber of Commerce. In 2012, the municipality received $156,000 from business license revenue, which was then turned over to the chamber. Coun. Bruce Hallquist said the additional $44,000 for the chamber is less than the municipality has paid in the past. For years, the chamber has received $200,000 annually from the municipality, but the amount collected from business licenses was lower in the past. Grants in aid are considered each year at the council table. A policy is in place for the dispersal of these grants. The policy was adopted in February, 1992.

Ask Your Dentist...

I noticed that my t e e t h are shorter than they used to be. They don’t hurt or bother me, is that a Dr. Cindee Melashenko problem? Harold The truth is that if we use our teeth to chew, they will wear. The good news is that enamel, or the protective cover of your teeth, is so hard that the average person only wears 100 microns of enamel in their lifetime. That is less than most of us can see or even feel with our tongue. If you notice a change in the length of your teeth, that can often indicate that the enamel protecting your teeth is gone. The next layer that is now exposed (and often yellow/ brown in colour) is a lot softer and will wear faster. So even though you may not be experiencing any pain or discomfort, less protection for the tooth increases the risk that they will break, need a root canal or possibly crack and need to be removed. My concern is why there is that much wear on your teeth? In a healthy bite, we cannot see any change to our teeth. When we see a lot of wear, it is because of an unhealthy bite or a damaging habit. Determining the cause of the wear will help to determine a successful treatment. 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!

Communities declare Intergenerational Day Communities across Canada are encouraging young and old to say hello and get to know each other better by recognizing June 1 as Intergenerational Day Canada. In Summerland, the mayor and council have given a letter of support for the day, while Penticton has issued a proclamation. At Summerland Seniors Village, residents and Grade 8 students from Summerland Middle School have ongoing monthly visits and will hold a year-end barbecue on June 12. Retirement Concepts, owners of the Summerland Seniors Village, have taken on Sharon MacKenzie as Intergenerational Consultant to assist in developing a plan for intergenerational relations in all of their facilities, starting with Summerland, Kamloops and Williams Lake. For MacKenzie, Intergenerational

Day Canada started four years go when the B.C. teacher was working on World Elder Abuse Awareness projects with teens. “The kids realized that the best way to stop ageism and mistreatment of people of any age, was to prevent it,” she said. “Perhaps a special national day that encouraged building relationships between younger and older people was the key.” June 1 was chosen because of its close proximity to UN World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, June 15. It was billed as a reminder that there is a solution for mistreatment of all ages. As a result of the hard work of MacKenzie, executive director of B.C.-based i2i Intergenerational Society of Canada (www.intergenerational.ca) and a small group of volunteers, this fourth annual IG Day Canada includes a record number of

Canadian cities. “We reached out to cities across Canada and everyone embraced the idea.” MacKenzie said.

Intergenerational Day Canada provides an opportunity to raise awareness in classrooms and in daily life of the many

benefits that simple and respectful connections between generations bring to education, health and community safety.

RCMP Musical Ride to perform The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride will perform at the South Okanagan Events Centre on Saturday July 20, for two shows. Proceeds from the shows will benefit the Summerland Rodeo Grounds. “We’re very excited to bring the Musical Ride back to the Okanagan. The show hasn’t been in Penticton in over a decade,” said Gwen Shaw, president of the Summerland Rodeo Grounds - Equine Development Committee. “The Musical Ride makes its way

to B.C. every four years. In the past, the Musical Ride wowed audiences in Summerland and Oliver. July 20 will be a day of excitement.” The troop of 32 horses and riders will perform a variety of cavalry drills choreographed to music. The Musical Ride was developed in 1876 by early members of the NorthWest Mounted Police to display their riding ability and entertain the local community. It has evolved over the decades into a uniquely Canadian performance enjoyed

by tens of thousands of spectators every year. Members of the Musical Ride are police officers. They each have at least two years’ experience in active police work before volunteering for duty with the Musical Ride. In addition to the most notable and Canadian cavalry show, Hearts of the West, a family of trick riders, will showcase their exceptional speed and horsemanship skills. The five siblings travel Western Canada’s rodeo circuit,

including the Pacific National Exhibition and the Calgary Stampede. Tickets can be purchased at www.ValleyFirstTix.com, by telephone at 1-877-SOECTIX (1-800-763-2849) or in person at the Valley First Box Office at the SOEC and Wine Country Visitor Centre.

Changes on board at Arts Council At the May board meeting of the Summerland Community Arts Council, Stan Etter stepped down after serving 15 years on the board. Etter has served in many capacities: as chair of the building committee, vice president, president and most recently as treasurer. Thank you Stan for all the work you have done around the Art Gallery and Arts Centre and for all your years of work promoting the arts in Summerland. Like many groups in Summerland, the Arts Council is always looking for new members and volunteers. However, you don’t have to serve 15 years. It could be as little time as one hour every six weeks putting up posters advertising the new show at the gallery. If you are interested in being a Gallery sitter or helping on one of our seasonal activities please drop by the office and talk with Karan. The colourful street banners are once again up in downtown Summerland and on Lakeshore Drive. You can pick up a brochure at the Summerland Arts Centre giving details on each banner.

Victoria Brake “Vicki” 1913 - 2013 Summerland Pioneer Vicki Brake passed away on May 18, 2013, Victoria Day weekend, just a few months before her 100th birthday. She was born in a cabin in Alberta and moved to Summerland in 1945 where her dream of owning land in the Okanagan Valley became a reality. Vicki became involved in the community by volunteering her time with the Legion and Hospital Auxilaries. In 1985 she was honoured to be selected as one of “Summerland’s Good Citizens”. In keeping with her community spirit, Vicki had a desire to share her land with the senior citizens of Summerland. An opportunity arose and her vision was fulfilled with the construction of Angus Place in 2000. Her love of her home is remembered in “The Vicki Brake Garden” at Angus Place where she resided for seven years. Vicki was admired for her determination, work ethic, advocacy of higher education, and her ability to create a little paradise on a bare piece of land. Her family will remember her love of dancing, bountiful vegetable gardens, orchard, and red roses. Vicki’s home was always open to friends and family where they were treated to homemade soup, fresh bread and cinnamon buns, pickles, fruit pies, pancake breakfasts and a warm bed. Vicki’s last four years were spent at the Summerland Seniors Village. Her family would like to thank the wonderful staff for their outstanding care and for treating her with dignity and respect. In her final days she was visited by her loving family. She is survived by her son George (Ilse) of Summerland, son James of Vancouver, and daughter Marjorie (Bob Carpenter) of Nanaimo. She had seven grandchildren and six great grandchildren.

VICTORIA – The B.C. government will go ahead with its plan for Alberta-style senate elections if it proves impossible to scrap the senate altogether, Premier Christy Clark said this week. Clark issued a statement in response to the controversy over senate expense claims that has gripped Ottawa. On record as preferring the senate be scrapped, Clark declined to comment on federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s statement to a Montreal newspaper that the senate should be preserved because Quebec has 24 senators and Alberta and B.C. have only six each. “It’s true British Columbians have long been troubled by an unelected senate, but it should be fixed or folded and not a distraction,” Clark said. “The Prime Minis-

ter invited us to move the process of senate reform forward. To that end, we have moved legislation in the house before the election that would make a senate election possible. It has not been passed and it will not be re-introduced until there is clarity from the Supreme Court.” Clark added: “We need to remember the fact that B.C. and the

Les tabled senate election legislation in 2011, Clark made her preference clear. “I think that if we could, under the constitution, we should abolish the senate,” Clark said at the time, adding that electing senators would be the next best thing. Prime Minister Stephen Harper returned to the House of Commons Tuesday to face opposition questions

“We need to remember the fact that B.C. and the West is dramatically under-represented in the unelected senate.”

The Regional District has estimated the total number of qualified electors in the service area to be 68,635 and that 10% of that number, or 6,864 qualified electors, must submit signed Elector Response Forms to prevent the Regional District from adopting the bylaw without the full assent of the electors by referendum. An elector response form must be in the form established by the Regional District. Elector Response Forms are available from the Regional District office, including by mail, fax, or e-mail, on request or on the Regional District website at www.rdos.bc.ca. As well, copies may be obtained at the office of the participating municipalities, upon request. The deadline for delivering the original signed Elector Response Form to the Regional District is 4:30 pm on Tuesday July 2, 2013. The only persons entitled to sign an Elector Response Form are those who meet the following criteria: Resident electors must: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e)

be 18 years of age or older; be a Canadian citizen; be a resident of British Columbia, for at least 6 months; be a resident of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen for at least 30 days; and not be disqualified by an Provincial enactment, or otherwise disqualified by law, from voting in an election.

Non-Resident property electors must: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g)

not be entitled to register as a resident elector of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen be 18 years of age or older; be a Canadian citizen; be a resident of British Columbia, for at least 6 months; be a registered owner of real property in Regional District for at least 30 days; not be disqualified by any Provincial enactment or otherwise disqualified by law, from voting in an election; and only register as a non-resident property elector in relation to one parcel of real property in the Regional District.

Senate expenses and important bills The senate and expenses of individual senators continues to be the single most discussed topic I have heard from local citizens throughout my travels over the past week. In fact, there are few issues in the past two years that have generated as much feedback and anger from citizens as this particular topic. Public officials at every level of government have an obligation of trust to spend tax dollars in a fiscally transparent and responsible manner. If an elected official breaks that obligation, in my view, there should be penalties and I will continue to support initiatives that increase transparency and accountability to taxpayers. However, I also believe that it is important to recognize that while there are legitimate questions regarding the practices of some senators, this should not unfairly taint those

who conduct their affairs accountably. There are many senators who work hard on behalf of taxpayers and who use taxpayer provided funds in a responsible manner. An example of the good work that is done in the senate can be found in Senate Bill S-10 that will come before the House of Commons this week. Bill S-10 is called the “Prohibiting Clusters Munitions Act.” It should never be overlooked nor taken for granted that there are some regions in the world where innocent lives are taken through the use of explosive “cluster bombs” also known as “fragmentation bombs.” These types of military ordinance may be loaded with shrapnel, fragments of metal, incendiary related combustible materials or even chemicals. The intent is to inflict as much col-

lateral damage to an area as possible. These types of devices have been used in modern day conflicts such as Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq and more recently rumoured to have been used in Georgia, Libya and possibly Syria. These types of explosive devices are most frequently the cause of death for innocent families including children in conflict areas and have been universally condemned by a large number of organizations and countries around the globe. In 2008 at the Convention of Cluster Munitions our government signed on to an international treaty process to eliminate the use of cluster munitions. At the same time Canada withdrew over 12,000 cluster munitions that are currently in the process of being destroyed with an estimated completion

date of 2014. More than 100 countries have also signed on to this same agreement and are in the process of withdrawing and destroying cluster munitions from active service. As this is an international treaty, under our Canadian constitution it must be passed in parliament and implemented in legislation to be deemed valid and allow Canada to meet our obligations under this agreement. That is where Bill S-10 comes in. The intent of my comments on this topic is to point out that there is important work that is performed in our Canadian senate that should not be overlooked. Bills like S-10 do not receive much media attention however it is important that Canada continues to take a lead role in helping to protect innocent victims from potential harm. S-10 is a senate bill

that I intend to support and am proud that Canada is taking a role in eliminating the use of cluster munitions. Also being debated in the house this week is another Senate Bill, S-2 “The Family Homes on Reserves and Matrimonial Interests or Rights Act.” This is a bill that proposes to create basic rights and protections for individuals on reserves in the event of a relationship breakdown, or on the death of a spouse or commonlaw partner. This bill references the family home and other assets to ensure that families living on reserve have the same rights and protections as people living off reserve when it comes to matrimonial property. Bill S-2 will also allow courts to apply First Nations matrimonial and real property laws for those First Nations who have enacted related legislation. It also tar-

Genealogical Society marks 20 years Black Press

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the South Okanagan Genealogical Society. The society will be celebrating the event with an open house on June 7 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Penticton Library/Museum Auditorium. The public will be invited to come and see just what genealogy and finding ancestors is all about. Invitations have been sent out to all past and present members, and charter members will be honoured at a special potluck supper A newspaper ad placed 20 years ago by Coral Eady, the society’s founder, to find others that were interested in finding their family histories resulted in the formation of the South Okanagan Genealogical Society. From its humble beginnings in April 1993 with only six books on the shelf, the society has grown to now having over 1,600 titles,

with everything from town histories, genealogical magazines, maps and many other subjects needed for the study of tracing family histories, to hundreds of newsletters from societies all over the world. The society’s Resource Centre Library is open every Tuesday from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. in the Penticton Museum archives room. The local group’s “MiniWorkshops” program has now been adopted by several genealogical and family history societies nationwide. These workshops are held every two weeks and cover everything from beginning genealogy to brick walls, last wills and testaments to newspaper archives, what can be gleaned from obituaries to restoring old photographs, how to use Family Tree Maker to navigating the Internet, preserving documents and photographs to organizing your genealogy. Several dedicated members with years

of doing family history research are ready and willing to share their knowledge with others. General meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month (except July

and August) at 7:30 p.m. in the Library/ Museum Auditorium, 785 Main St. Penticton, sometimes with special speakers and presentations. If you have ever been a member in

the past of the South Okanagan Genealogical Society or know of someone who has and want to participate in the celebration, contact Nola Reid at sogsnola@shaw.ca.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Legal Phrases in Pop Culture A recent article by Jeffrey Miller in the Canadian Bar Association's magazine the "National" referred to legally minded phrases that people use all the time likely without knowing their exact origins. Here are two: "Round up the usual suspects" - Movie buffs and Humphrey Bogart fans will instantly recognise that as the classic line spoken by Claude Rains as "Louis Renault" the French Vichy Prefect of Police in the movie "Casablanca". Of course, Louis knew who had committed the crime, but he was in no rush to uncover the real culprit, our hero "Rick". That line is said to have inspired the idea for a more recent movie called appropriately enough "The Usual Suspects". A very good movie known for its all-star cast and its surprising final minute reveal. "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time" - Many younger people will say that they have heard Snoop Dogg or the group UB40 sing this line. Many older people will wonder who Snoop Dogg or UB40 are! The reality is that the line was first sung by Sammie Davis Jr. in the mid-1970's. It was written into a theme song for the TV Cop show "Baretta" starring Robert Blake. The rest of the story is of course that Mr. Blake went on to have quite a chekered legal history.

Athletes qualify for championships The Summerland Secondary Track and Field team attended the Valley Championships last week and came home with some excellent results. The meet was held on Wednesday, May 15 at the Apple Bowl track in Kelowna. The team ended up winning the team competition for the girls’ side and placed sixth overall for the boys’ side.

Despite having a much younger squad — most of Summerland’s athletes are in Grade 9 and 10 — the team competed in the senior level of competition against mostly Grade 11 and 12 participants, and they fared well. Competing against much larger schools also, the team pulled out a Valley Championship for the girls — a feat never before accomplished by the

school. Coaches Tom Brickenden and Chris Foley were pleased with the efforts of the entire team, all of whom earned personal bests in all of their events. Grade 9 student Haven Dufty won the Senior Girls long jump and triple jump competitions, as well placing second in the Senior Girls 100 metre hurdles. Haven set a meet

record in the triple jump that had been standing for a number of years. Her sister, Hunter Dufty, Grade 8, who represented Summerland Middle School, placed second in the Senior Girls discus, and second in the Senior Girls shot put. Overall, it was a great day for the Dufty family. In the Senior Boys high jump, Grade 9 student Landon

Brickenden placed first overall with a personal best jump of 1.80 metres. He also placed third in the Senior Boys long jump competition. Other notable performances were by Grade 11 student Erin Detchkoff who placed fourth in the Senior Girls 100 metre and fourth in the Senior Girls high jump. Megan Avery, in Grade 9, placed second in the Senior

have performed in the bandshell. People and groups such as the Powder Blues Band, Doug and the Slugs, Kinship, Prism, Stonebolt, Jerry Doucette and Worms Hate Rain. This week’s Review shows a picture of me, Dennis Dumas Walker and our own John Arendt in a remake of a picture for Action Festival taken in 1988 that included Kim Chadwick, John Brent, Richard Anderson and Summerland’s Director of Parks and Recreation at that

time, Doug Thring. How crazy is the Action Festival SloPitch tournament run by Al and Diane Mann? They are over capacity with 74 teams registered for the tournament with over 50 being out of town teams and believe it or not they have a waiting list of almost 20 teams. With our runs and races, my favourite part of each is the people from children in their strollers to those well into retirement. In fact two of my favourites are Dave and Audrey

McIntosh who have volunteered with us for as long as I can remember and this year are 93 and 90 respectively. Who can forget Willis Greenaway who passed away a few years ago but ran the Giant’s Head Run or competed in the Man of Steel Triathlon religiously every year. Then we have our super volunteers who come back year after year like Kathi Penny, Lloyd Miskiman, Bev and Clint Skinner, the Bergstrom family, Eric and Cathy Janzen who make our races safe and fun. This community owes a lot to these people that volunteer for the Action Festival Committee or the runs and races so when you see these people on the streets thank them for being a big part of why we live in the greatest community in the world. Remember as you read this, you still have time to register for the Giant’s Head Run or Man of Steel Triathlon. Dale MacDonald has been Summerland’s Director of Parks and Recreation for the last 22 years and in his sporting past has won provincial championships in four different sports.

Plenty of activity at Action Festival As a follow up to Brenda Ingram’s article in last week’s paper it is now showtime. Action Festival is one day away as Summerland hosts one of the most amazing family events in the Okanagan and even the province. Estimates for Action Festival are that this community doubles in size during the first weekend of June each year. As we know these types of events don’t just happen – there are so many people behind the scenes and an incredible amount of

Ready to run

Radio personality Dennis Dumas Walker, left and Summerland Review editor John Arendt prepare for this year’s Giant’s Head Run. The race, part of the Summerland Action Festival, is on Saturday at 6 p.m. It features a 5.4-kilometre course and a 10-kilometre course. At right is Dale MacDonald, director of parks and recreation.

Girls 200 metre race and was a member of the girls 4x100 metre relay team that placed third overall. The other members of the relay team were Haven Dufty, Detchkoff and Grade 9 student Jaedyn Foley. Foley also placed fourth in the 100 metre hurdle race. Shannon Clarke, in Grade 11, placed third in the Senior Girls hammer throw, as well as fourth in both the discus and shot put events. Caylum Foley, in Grade 11, finished fourth in the tough Senior Boys 400 metre race. Eric Sherban, in Grade 10, placed fifth in the Senior Boys triple jump. Sam Kane, in Grade 10, and Shane Fofonoff, in Grade 9, placed sixth and seventh in this event as well. Scott Richards, in Grade 9, finished fifth in the Senior Boys 2,000 metre steeple-

chase race and Jessa Barber placed seventh in the endurance-testing 3,000 metre event. Lindsey Isaak, in Grade 12, also ran a strong race in the 800 metre event and bested her previous time. Sylvia Mott, in Grade 9, also placed third in the 1,500m race walk event. Shannon Thompson, in Grade 9, placed sixth in the Senior Girls javelin and seventh in the discus. All the athletes who placed first to third in the Valley meet qualified for the Provincial Championships which will take place this weekend. That meet will be held at McLeod Athletic Park in Langley on May 31 to June 1. Haven Dufty, Brickenden, Detchkoff, Foley, Clarke and Avery will all be attending this meet, again competing against mostly older athletes.

Children will be able to learn about the arts as the Summerland Community Arts Council offers its annual Summer Arts Program once again this summer. Alana Parker, coordinator of the program, said around 180 children participated in the summer courses last year. For this summer, some favourite courses will be offered again, along with one new course. The new course, Wild About Writing, will be taught by Marion Rudisill. Popular courses last year included arts, crafts and drama. Fun With A Pocket Knife, taught by Rick Wiebe, is for children nine years old and older. Messy and Marvellous, for children

from three to five years of age, is taught by Jannine Strunk. It features artwork made from natural materials found outdoors. Through The Stage Door, taught by Linda Beaven and David Kopp, has been popular in the past. There are two sessions of the drama program. One is for children from six to eight years of age while the other is for those nine and older. The courses run July 8 to August 16 and participants are urged to get their names in early. Bursaries are available this year, but the cutoff is May 31. To register for the courses and bursaries, forms are available online. Forms can also be emailed to admin@ summerlandarts. com or dropped off
