a pocket neighbourhood, on the site, but Mayor Janice Perrino said a housing initiative would be best left to developers. “It was a good plan, but not as viable for us,” she said. “It’s much better for a developer to take it on.” For years, municipal councils have been examining ways to bring affordable housing to the community. Perrino said there are not many lower priced properties in Summerland. This in turn affects the market prices.
When the municipality issues its request for proposals for the former RCMP site on Jubilee Road East, the plans will involve an affordable housing component. A memo from municipal administrator Tom Day said the two objectives for the project are to raise revenues from alternate “There’s not a lot of sources and to inventory in moderately provide additional alterna- priced homes for families. tive housing We don’t have enough options. homes available in the The site has lower, more affordable been vacant for around a year, range.” Janice Perrino since the Summerland RCMP detachment moved into “There’s not a lot of a newer and larger Pineo inventory in moderCourt location.

Proposed trail examined
$20,000 set for conceptual design work
by John Arendt The municipality will contribute up to $20,000 for the conceptual design of the proposed lakeshore trail. Mayor Janice Perrino said the proposed trail is not in the plans as a municipal budget item, although
the study will come from municipal funds. “If we can do the design, they can do the project,” Perrino said. A group has been formed to create the trail. At present, it has more than a dozen members, representing the Trans Canada Trail, the Summerland Rotary Club, the Summerland Chamber of Commerce, the Okanagan
Similkameen Parks Society, Economic Development Penticton, Tourism Penticton and the Summerland Credit Union. “If this is doable, it could be a huge economic driver,” Perrino said of the proposed trail. While the group promoting the trail is looking to raise the money to put it in place, Coun. Bruce Hallquist said the ongoing
maintenance would likely become the municipality’s responsibility. “We have infrastructure and services Bruce we can’t take Hallquist care of,” he said. Coun. Peter Waterman said the trail would serve
as a good link between the Lowertown area and Trout Creek. “By doing this, we will set it up properly for the community,” he said. Coun. Martin Van Alphen said a lakefront walking trail in Peachland draws many visitors there. He said the Summerland trail could have a similar effect. See STUDY Page 2

draw around 200 participants. The specially designed skateboards will reach speeds of 30 to 40 kilometres an hour along the paved path on the mountain. Event organizer Andrew Monaghan said the mountain draws participants back each year. “It’s a unique course, unequalled in North America,” he said. While the longboarders will race on the Monday, the event is not set up as a competition. “It’s based on just having fun,” Monaghan said. Participants have registered from around North America, with one longboarder arriving from Spain for the event. The popularity of the sport continues to grow and the skill level increases every year, Monaghan said. The course, from the paved parking lot near the summit to a spot just inside the gates to the mountain park, is the route which has been used in previous longboarding events.

Peachland trail. The trail in Peachland is a walkway with something along every part of it. The proposed Summerland trail would not receive the same type of use, he said. He added that the study is needed to enable council and the trail group to better understand the costs involved in constructing the trail. “This is only the first step and it may be the last, depending on the outcome,” he said. Perrino said the study is needed in order to determine if the project is feas-
ible. “If we don’t do this, the group can’t start,” she said. She added that she would not support spending any more than $20,000 for the study. Hallquist said the $20,000 price tag represents a small portion of the municipality’s total budget, but small amounts of money can quickly add up. He added that the trail group has not yet requested the study. The funding was approved with Hallquist opposed. Coun. Orv Robson was not present at the council meeting.

Proclamation marks George Rgya Week Date changed to coincide with birth of playwright
The week of July 21 to 27 has been proclaimed George Ryga Week in British Columbia, marking a change of emphasis in the way the Summerland playwright is remembered. “In the past George Ryga Week has occurred in November, marking the date when George passed away,” said Keith Ferlin, president of the George Ryga Centre Society. “This year we are celebrating George’s life. The week ends on Saturday, July 27, which would have been George’s 81st
birthday.” Ryga was born in Alberta in 1932. He died in Summerland in 1987 at George Ryga the age of 55. The majority of his writing was done from his home on Caldwell Street in Summerland, where he lived from 1962 until his death. He is best known for his 1967 play, The Ecstasy of Rita Joe. Ferlin said the change of date for George Ryga Week represents a new direction in how Ryga’s legacy is celebrated. The house, which
had been converted into a retreat for artists, was sold in the past year. While the house is now privately owned, the new owner is a Ryga Society supporter, Ferlin said. “As many people know, the Ryga house in Summerland, home of the George Ryga Centre, was sold to handle serious financial issues that were facing the Society. Although the house is now privately owned, the new owner is a Ryga Society supporter, so we are very happy that the house is in good hands.” Proceeds from the sale of the house have been invested and the society is in
s
talks with several cultural groups to endow a scholarship for emerging writers. “As a rural farm boy in northern Alberta, George was encouraged to write as a teen-ager through scholarships from the IODE and other groups. In that spirit, we intend to endow a lasting legacy to support other writers,” Ferlin said. “The society is looking forward to future involvement with the community in the spirit of George Ryga.” On George Ryga’s birthday, July 27, the Society members and family members will gather to celebrate George’s life.

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.

EDITORIAL
our pick
Affordable housing Anyone who has bought a home in Summerland in the last few years will know it is not cheap to live in this community. Between 10 and 15 years ago, housing prices escalated rapidly and as a result, some who could have afforded to live here in the past were priced out of the market. The price increases affected all housing in Summerland, whether homes for sale or homes for rent. While prices are a little lower than they were at the peak of the increase, the cost of housing remains high. According to the most recent statistics from the South Okanagan Real Estate Board, the average selling price of a single family home in Summerland from January to June of this year has been $378,188 while the average selling price of a condominium unit, whether an apartment or a townhouse, was $243,453 during the same period. These prices are out of reach of most young families or single income families. Furthermore, many of the condominium units are in complexes which have age restrictions, barring young families from moving in. A plan to create an affordable housing development is a welcome concept, one which could help Summerland bring in and retain young families. Without such a definition in place, it is possible the development would result in houses less expensive than the average selling prices in Summerland, yet still out of reach of those who are most in need of affordable housing. Summerland and other South Okanagan communities have done well at attracting retirees to the community. However, unless working people can also afford to live here, the community will have an increasingly difficult time providing the businesses and services it needs in order to maintain its quality of life.
Longboarding enthusiasts from Canada, the United States and beyond will be in Summerland on the August long weekend for the sixth annual Giant’s Head Freeride. The weekend of high speed thrills draws around 200 participants. Organizers say the paved path on the mountain is superior to any other in North America. Having such an attraction in our community is something we do not always fully appreciate.
Green MLA on coal, controversy After climate scientistturned-Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver had a taste of debate in the B.C. legislature, I asked him for his impressions on that and other issues. Excerpts from that discussion: TF: You did a study comparing burning all the world’s coal reserves and all oil reserves, showing how big coal really Tom Fletcher is. The federal government says that when you add up what’s actually being used in North America, carbon emissions from coal are about 30 times more than from oil. Now we have a symbolic coal export ban in Vancouver, which doesn’t apply to Port Moody or Point Roberts or Prince Rupert. Do you think there’s any significance to this? AW: There is no question that the biggest issue around is coal, because coal use is on the rise world-wide. Not in the United States, because they’re converting [power production] to natural gas. This is why American producers are saying, let’s ship it to Asia. California says no, Oregon says no, Washington says no. Vancouver says no, British Columbia, not sure. It’s pushing us to start thinking about what I think is going
to be the greatest industrial revolution the world has ever seen, which is transformation of energy systems away from our combustion approach, which is essentially what we’ve been doing since we were in caves. We’ve gone from burning wood to now fossil wood, and fossil plants and fossil algae, to a much more modern era of production of energy through natural means, solar, wind, geothermal etc. TF: Liquified natural gas. The NDP says they are absolutely in favour of that now. AW: I have questioned the economics of it from day one. There’s a market differential that exists now. There’s that small window because Japan is moving from nuclear to natural gas. But we’re way behind everyone else. TF: Thirty years ago, Japan played Australia and B.C. off for metallurgical coal. Those northeast B.C. coal mines are back up and running again, but you’re seeing a similar thing here? AW: Yes. And if we start shipping natural gas to Asia … the Asian price comes down, the North American price goes up. British Columbians haven’t been told that. TF: How has the legislature session been for you? AW: I sit there and watch the two parties. Rhetorical question, condescending answer. Rhetorical question, condescending answer.
And I hope more British Columbians watch this, because this needs to change. And I think it can change. TF: The NDP opposition decides when you and Delta South Independent Vicki Huntington get your occasional moments in question period? AW: Yes, and if I’ve asked it’s been no problem. TF: Grudgingly no doubt. If the NDP had their way, the closest Green Party member would be in Holland. AW: [Laughs] Yes. Certainly not in North America. There’s this sense of entitlement within the NDP to the ‘green’ vote. And I sense that the B.C. Liberals very much like our existence, as being not NDP. The reality is, we take as many Liberal votes, if not more. It’s because what it means to be ‘green’ has moved out of what the NDP view as green, which is a tree hugger. It’s kids going to school, talking about conservation, and going home to talk to their parents. That’s where our votes are coming from. TF: Are you going to be found standing in front of a coal train any time soon? AW: No, never. They asked me to, and I said no, because I don’t believe in civil disobedience.

culls
The list of capital projects identified by the Works and Utilities Department is lengthy, but the cost of doing the work identified exceeds the funding available. As a result, one sidewalk project was done this year and one drainage project will be completed, even though other projects on the list are considered urgent. Some of the work can likely be put off for a short time, but work cannot be postponed indefinitely. Eventually, the need for maintenance and improvements will become critical.

Royal designation not wanted Dear Editor: An open letter to the Prime Minister: I write about your directing our military to revert to the use of British military rank insignias and designations after 45 years of a home-grown Canadian system. I also note that you previously had
directed our services to revert to “Royal” services in name, indicating service under the Queen of England. My wife and I spent 16 years out of country and were delighted when we came back to find how Canadian identity and pride had grown noticeably.
To us, this was a very good thing. But now, we note you are dragging our country back to the colonial past that is becoming more and more irrelevant. My understanding also is that a clear majority of Canadians want a Canadian citizen as our head of state and
not a British monarch. Indeed a very strange choice of things to do. It just seems so out of place given our strong growth toward a singular Canadian national identity. I am an independent conservative, have contributed to your party and
have served in our military, and I am angered by what you are doing. Here is my word to you. Your autocratic indulgence of your royal infatuations by tampering with our country’s prevailing ethos is dangerous; just look at the example of one
of your fat crony appointees, expremier Gordon Campbell, who was reduced to single digit support in this province for doing exactly what you are doing — using his office for autocratic, arrogant and personal indulgence. But who will rescue you?
But as with most of you people who transcend dissociatively further into your esoteric bunker you will probably learn the hard way. We will put someone in the office that shows us, and our country, more respect. Roy Roope Summerland
The Early years
Memory lane?

In the 1920s the road from Trout Creek to the rest of Summerland wasn’t quite as busy as it is today. Summer traffic on the dirt road consisted of wagons, buggies and a few of the new-fangled horseless carriages, all equipped with natural air conditioning and not at all likely to be stopped for speeding through Trout Creek. As you travel the highways this summer, keep a light hand on the reins, tip your hat to other drivers and stay safe.
Missing ‘bear Frisbee’ returned Dear Editor: On the evening of Tuesday, July 17, I went outside to fill the bird feeders, the hummingbird feeders, and the bird bath. There to my sur-
prise, on the corner of our lawn was our “bear Frisbee,” that had been borrowed by the scruffy little Fyffe Road neighbourhood bear, that kept us entertained (but cautious) for the

month of May. Since the bear doesn’t have access to the Summerland Review to learn by my previous letter to the editor that I would like the garbage can lid (Fris-
bee) returned, I must assume some kind neighbour/friend found it and returned it on behalf of the bear. Thank you Fyffe Road neighbour/ friend.

Drainage and sidewalk work approved Although numerous capital projects have been identified as priorities for the municipality, only two are on the schedule for this year. A sidewalk upgrade on Henry Avenue has already been completed. The cost of this was $14,000. This work was completed because of urgent safety concerns. The second project for this year is a $45,000 drain-
age improvement on Fulton Street. The remaining $91,000 will be carried over to 2014. Other areas identified for improvements include Garnett Valley Road drainage improvements, work on Prairie Valley Road, a sidewalk on Jubilee Road West, work on Bathville Road and drainage improvements on Newton Road, Bristow Road and Jewell Place.
During the budget deliberations for 2013, council approved $150,000 for sidewalks, drainage and paving upgrades. “Although $150,000 is a significant amount of money, it does not go very far when the money is being used for infrastructure improvements,” said Don Darling, director of works and utilities for the municipality. Several of the individ-
ual items far exceeded the total amount set aside for the upgrades. “When it comes to infrastructure, the costs are extensive,” said municipal administrator Tom Day. He added that for next year, the municipality will have more substantial funding in place for improvements in 2014. Gas tax revenue money may be used for these improvements.
While problems along Garnett Valley Road have been identified in the past, council chose to delay this work at present. The proposed work had been for intermittent patching, at an estimated cost of $63,606.50. “I personally think it’s ridiculous to pour money onto the road and rip it up again,” said Coun. Martin Van Alphen.
Restrictions considered for development Continued from Page 1
Day said affordable housing agreements are already in place in other B.C. communities including Whistler and Victoria. Coun. Martin Van Alphen said measures must be taken to ensure that a
development here does not later become restricted to seniors. At present, many of the townhouse and condominium developments in the community have age restrictions. “If we’re truly going to look at affordable housing, I
don’t want to see age restrictions,” he said. He added that he wants to see the units sold to young families and not purchased as investment properties. “I don’t want to see these rented out,” he said. Coun. Lloyd Chris-
topherson said the concept is something new for Summerland. “I think this is an innovative and exciting proposal,” he said. He added that a covenant will be needed in order to ensure the units remain affordable in the future.
Details about the development, includ-
are not known at present.
“If we’re truly going to look at affordable housing, I don’t want to see age restrictions.”

Cristine Duda plants flowers in the roundabout at the intersection of Prairie Valley Road and Victoria Road South. The roundabout is one of the upgrades made at the busy intersection.
Sergeant appointed at RCMP detachment A new sergeant has been appointed to head the Summerland RCMP detachment. Sgt. Stephane Lacroix, an officer with 29 years of policing experience, has spent much of his career working in the Okanagan. He began his work at the Summerland detachment on Monday. After beginning his policing work in Ottawa and Chilliwack, he was stationed in Oliver in 1992 and served there for nine years. He later worked in Penticton, on general duty, drug work and serious crime investigations. In Kelowna, he was assigned to the major
c r i m e u n i t , investigating h o m i cides in much of southeastern Stephane B r i t i s h Lacroix C o l u m bia. His role in Summerland will be a change from the serious crime and homicide work. “It’s back to the grass roots of policing,” he said. He added that Summerland, with its low crime rate, is a refreshing change. “It’s nice, after dealing with the worst to deal with people in a good environment,” he said.
Children and adults are getting an introduction to sailing as the South Okanagan Sailing Association offers its Learn to Sail courses this summer. David Watts, director of the Learn to Sail program, said one-week and twoweek courses are offered, with children as young as six years old participating. The coaching staff and instructors are sailors who have gone through the program in the past. “We’re proud of the development of local people as instructors,” he said. Each year, around 100 people are enrolled in the Learn to Sail courses. The introductory course runs for three hours
a day over five days, while some of the more advanced courses are six hours a day for 10 days. The programs for the younger children tend to be the most popular. Watts said sailing provides a good workout for participants. “It’s healthy. It’s exercise like you wouldn’t believe,” he said. “You’re working every muscle group.” Because of the demand this year, many of the courses have already filled up, but organizers are considering an additional course for children during the first week of August, depending on the level of interest.

School District No. 67 will provide: o support and guidance by a homestay coordinator who will monitor the student/homestay experience; o monthly compensation of $725; and o temporary placement/respite homes for host families, if required, for holidays and emergencies. If you are interested in this great opportunity to exchange cultural experiences with an international student, please pick up an application form at the School Board Office, 425 Jermyn Avenue in Penticton, download the form off the District website at www.sd67.bc.ca, or contact Ms. Bev Skinner, Homestay Coordinator at (250) 494-1537, or by email skinners@shaw.ca

Art Walk will feature original pieces The Summerland Community Arts Council invites you Art Walk 2013. Come and experience the original works of local emerging and established artists on display throughout Summerland and the surrounding area.
The work showcased over the event will include paintings, photography, jewellery, pottery, textiles, and sculpture. Art Walk features 37 artists in 38 venues including restaurants, retail outlets, and wineries throughout
Summerland. You can pick up an Art Walk brochure, which lists participating artists and venues at the Art Gallery and Summerland Visitor’s Centre. You can also look for the Art Walk decal on participating businesses.
Art Walk is not just an opportunity to view many different types of art it is also an opportunity to drop into a wide range of businesses that you might not otherwise visit. In addition to Art Walk there are a num-
ber of new shows opening in August. Art Happening opens August 2 at the Shatford Centre. The exhibiting artists are all members of the Federation of Canadian Artists and you will find a wide range of media on view: watercolours, oils, encaustics, acrylics and mixed media among them. Barb Hofer will be having a solo show at Leir House beginning Aug. 2, featuring a tribute to trees. Branching Out is a mixed-media collection of her paintings using watercolour, acrylic, collage, and lately, encaustic. Memorial Park will come alive with the sounds of Shakespeare on Aug. 1 and 2 as the Penticton Chamber Theatre offers a brand-new production of Much Ado About Nothing in the park beginning at 7 p.m. Tickets can
Arts Palette
David Finnis be picked up at the Sweet Tooth Cafe on Victoria Road or at the park. The delightful Much Ado about Nothing is one of the Bard’s most cherished comedies, sparkling in every sense of the word. Two couples headline the play: Benedick/Beatrice, accidental tourists of love who think they are “too wise to woo peaceably” and Claudio/Hero, for whom “silence is the perfect herald of joy” until
they start listening to the wrong people. Add in lumbering malaprop Dogberry and his merry band of constables, drunken Borachio, tuneful Balthasar, and wicked Don John––he of the blistered soul–– and the stage is set for one outrageous misunderstanding after another. ooo If you know of an event you feel should be included in the Arts Palette or on the Arts Council’s online calendar, please email artspalette@ summerlandarts.com or call 250-404-3225. summerlandarts.com and twitter.com/ artspalette. The Arts Palette is written by David Finnis, Publicity Chair and President of the Summerland Community Arts Council, P.O. Box 1217, 9533 Main St., Summerland, B.C. V0H 1Z0.

*Price Matched Look for the symbol in store. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITIES (note that our major supermarket competitors may not). Due to the fact that product is ordered prior to the time of our Ad Match checks, quantities may be limited. We match select items in our major supermarket competitors’ flyers throughout the week. Major supermarket competitors are determined solely by us based on a number of factors which can vary by store location. We match identical items (defined as same brand, size, and attributes, and carried at this store location) and for fresh produce, meat and bakery, we match a comparable item (as determined solely by us). Guaranteed Lowest Prices applies only to our major supermarket competitors’ print advertisements (i.e. flyer, newspaper). We will match the competitor’s advertised price only during the effective date of the competitor’s print advertisement. We will not match competitors’ “multi-buys” (eg. 2 for $4), “spend x get x”, “Free”, “clearance”, discounts obtained through loyalty programs, or offers related to our third party operations (post office, gas bars, dry cleaners etc.). We reserve the right to cancel or change the terms of this promise at any time. Quantities and/or selection of items may be limited and may not be available in all stores. NO RAINCHECKS OR SUBSTITUTIONS on clearance items or where quantities are advertised as limited. Advertised pricing and product selection (flavour, colour, pattern, style) may vary by store location. We reserve the right to limit quantities to reasonable family requirements. We are not obligated to sell items based on errors or misprints in typography or photography. Applicable taxes, deposits, or environmental surcharges are extra. No sales to retail outlets. Some items may have “plus deposit and environmental charge” where applicable. ®/TM The trademarks, service marks and logos displayed in this newspaper ad are trademarks of Loblaws Inc. and others.
