Hello all,
Hope your enjoying the summer weather that has caught up to the calender.
To start off, those of us that travel East Vernon Rd. (& Tillicum Rd.) are still waiting for the roads to be usable. Although alternate routes are available, it is quite inconvenient to not have the full options available to traverse through the BX area. As one observation has been noted in the paper. Letter to the editor here: http://www.vernonmorningstar.com/opinion/letters/161508425.html So, the last time that these areas washed out, (I believe it was in 1996) the road had suffered more damage and the repairs included a temporary bridge and it was repaired in a timely manner (without the extended waiting period.) Some have voiced their displeasure on the length of time that this is taking, as the repair has yet to be done. Anyone and everyone, who may wish to acknowledge their opinions can send an email to the Provicial Minister of Transportation. The website has this as a contact email:
mailto:Minister.Transportation@gov.bc.ca
Phone/Fax: Telephone: 250 387-1978 Fax: 250 356-2290
or a printed/typed letter to be mailed to

Just F.Y.I., the "BX Ranch Park" is a heritage park that allows dog use, not an official "Dog Park" as a recently removed sign otherwise indicated. If anyone has thoughts, suggestions or comments on the Park's future direction, please share them in the "Comment" section. Or email the Assoc. at bxslca@hotmail.com .
Look for a couple directors (from the Association) on site with a 'survey questionaire' (in early Aug. 2012) to receive feedback on the park from the users of the park as well as other interested individuals. These questionnaire responses will be forwarded to the Regional Distict for consideration.
Cherries are certainly looking (and tasting) delicious. All other berries in season also are very enjoyable. We look forward to a good apple (and other fruits harvest.) Vegtables are their own schedule, but look equally enjoyable.
Further comments on the improvements near Stickle Rd. should be completed in a couple weeks. The work done to now is a greatly improved image that beautifies the entrance to the Vernon area.
That's all for now, more to follow in a short while...

I would like to voice my disappointment at the way the women handled themselves when they were questioned at the BX Ranch Park handing out questionnaires on the mornings of July 28th and July 29th, 2012.
They WOULD NOT give us an answer to the question...what is your motive, your agenda, your resolve for the park by asking such open-ended questions on the questionnaire.
I do not believe you should be 'tricking' people into answering questions to your benefit and to me, that is how the questions were worded on said questionnaire.
When asked again, all the one woman kept saying was something about a kid going there with a sandwich.
Unbelievable conduct by people who say they are members of the BX Association in a public park.
I am a bit concerned after reading the last posting - perhaps the association would be kind enough to make their position clear and post copy of their questionnaire available on their website so that it can be reviewed more widely and responded to accordingly in the interest of openness and transparancy.
