John Arendt Summerland Review
Mary Nightingale, 11 years old, paints a banner at the Summerland Community Arts Centre. The street banners, once completed, will be displayed in the downtown area.
The view from the sky over Summerland will be updated this spring as the municipality replaces old and out of date images for its GIS mapping system. At the municipal council meeting of March 12, council awarded McElhanney Consultants the contract for the Summerland Digital Orthophoto 2012 Project. The cost of the work is not to exceed $50,000. In addition to the aerial photography, the work also includes computer processing of the images and provides topography information about the community. “It’s a very useful tool, not only for staff but for the general public as well,” said municipal treasurer and acting administrator Ken Ostraat. Coun. Peter Waterman said information about drainage patterns can also be determined from the photography and mapping. The images will also be used for Google Earth. Coun. Orv Robson said the tender was well under the budgeted amount of $65,000. The aerial photography will take place during the second or third week of April. The information will then be processed and completed by August or September. Summerland’s last aerial mapping was done in 2005 and the images are no longer accurate.
Groups receive grant funding by John Arendt Six community groups in Penticton and Summerland have received a total of $158,00 through the latest provincial gaming grants. The groups are Société De La Petite Enfance De L’École Entre Lacs with $5,600, Penticton Recovery Resource Soci-
ety with $5,000, South Okanagan-Similkameen Invasive Plant Society with $10,000, Penticton and Area Women’s Centre Society with $85,000, Summerland Youth Centre Association with $8,000 and Summerland Asset Development Initiative with $45,000. Throughout British Columbia, 248 recipients
will be given $8,023,685 in the latest grants. “From dealing with invasive plants to women’s and youth groups, these six organizations may appear very different, but they all share the same goal: making this an even better place to live,” said Penticton MLA Bill Barisoff.
Laceydawn Loeppky, youth activities coordinator at SADI, said the money will be used to fund various community services and youth activities. The funding represents more than one-third of SADI’s $120,000 operating budget. “We’re thankful for it, that’s for sure,” she said.
Lisa Scott of the South Okanagan-Similkameen Invasive Plant Society said the funding her group has received will go for a community educational and outreach program. She added that this is the first time the organization has received funding through the gaming grant program.

POLICE REPORT Vehicle owner ticketed On March 17 at 12:50 a.m., a motorist saw a police vehicle check at Highway 97 and Rosedale Avenue. The motorist put the vehicle into reverse and drove away. Police attempted to stop the motorist and found the vehicle soon afterward. A police dog was brought in and a person was found hiding nearby. The vehicle owner was given multiple tickets for driving infractions.
School window smashed Police were called after Summerland Secondary School was entered overnight on March 19. Police say someone gained access to the roof, broke a window and entered the school. The culprits made a mess in the washrooms but nothing appears to have been stolen.
Vehicle keyed On March 12 between 7:30 a.m. and 4:45 p.m., a vehicle parked on Rosedale Avenue was keyed. The vehicle was a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Summerland RCMP detachment.
Vehicle impounded On March 16 at 12:30 a.m., police stopped a driver on Prairie Valley Road. The driver had no licence and was a vehicle impoundment candidate. The vehicle was towed and has been impounded for 30 days.
LEGALLY SPEAKING...
A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company
Don't park in Manitoba! If your going east this summer, be careful to lock your car in Winnipeg. I say that because a recent study has shown that Manitoba has a car theft rate that is twice the national average. That's right, twice the average!! Why this is the case, no one seems to have an answer for. Over 10,000 auto theft claims were reported to Manitoba Public Insurance Corp. last year. That's 1,148 vehicle stolen per 100,000 people. BC ranks behind Manitoba in these categories, however, we are still on the higher end of the scale. So the bottom line is, lock up your vehicle no matter where you are. Many studies have proven that most car theft is an opportunity related event. That is to say, if you give thieves the opportunity (open doors, keys in ignition, etc.) then you are dramatically increasing the chances of your car being stolen.

Preparing for darkness Members of municipal council urge Summerlanders to participate in Earth Hour on March 31 from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. The initiative asks people to turn off the lights for one hour in an attempt to raise awareness about electricity and energy consumption. To register, visit fortis.com/earthhour or sign up at the municipality.
Got a picky eater? Science has now quantified what appeals to these challenging palates. The magic number is exactly 7 different food items arranged on a plate with exactly 6 different colours! They also are more likely to eat foods that have been arranged in designs, such as facial expressions. This contrasts to adults, who prefer 3 foods and 3 colours on a plate. That said, science still has not found a way to make Brussels sprouts more appealing. Not too long ago, the human brain was considered to be finished developing when growth ceased – usually at puberty. It is now known that colossal changes continue throughout the teen years as the brain undergoes significant “rewiring” termed synaptic pruning. This brain redevelopment is responsible for many teen behaviours: risk-taking, impulsiveness, moodiness and peer-orientation. It is key to adult success and requires parental support. Once again, the internet is demonstrating its usefulness. Blogging, that practice of pouring your heart into words for all the world to read, is able to help teens cope with social issues. Compared to writing private diaries, teens blogging twice weekly showed significant improvements in self-esteem, social anxiety, emotional distress and positive social behaviours. Think of it as the modern, electronic equivalent of a heart-to-heart chat. Keeping up with current research is a job all its own. Don’t hesitate to have a chat with one of our pharmacists about the best ways to manage today’s issues.

The Summerland Asset Development Initiative would like to thank the following businesses and individuals who donated so generously to our Zias Fundraiser to help SADI raise over $8,500.
Health Matters If your family’s spring break plans include child care, note a recent study which appeared in Pediatrics indicating that children in day care settings are not getting enough exercise. Apparently, with more and more emphasis being placed on early learning and concerns about child safety, less time is being spent on physical activity. 1-hour of exercise daily is recommended, so try to make up any difference at home. Better still – join in yourself!

Historic bakery sold Main Street bakery was a Summerland landmark for decades by John Arendt The Cake Box Bakery in Summerland will come to a close early next month, but a new bakery will operate from the same location. “After almost 66 years, the Cake Box Bakery era draws to a close,” said Markus Hunziker, owner of the bakery. “Easter Saturday will be our last day. We wish to
thank everyone for their patronage and encourage you to give the new owners a warm welcome.” True Grain Bread, a Cowichan Bay bakery, will operate a sister store in Summerland beginning in spring. “We are very excited to have the opportunity to build on the rich legacy of Cake Box Bakery in providing freshly baked bread and other baked goods on Main Street,” said Bruce Stewart, president of True Grain Bread. Stewart chose Summerland after visiting
Chamber will change name The organization representing Summerland’s business community will soon have a streamlined name. At the Summerland Chamber of Economic Development and Tourism’s Annual General Meeting on March 13, members voted to change the name to the Summerland Chamber of Commerce. Lisa Jaager, manager of the chamber, said there was one
vote opposed to the change. The name change does not take effect immediately as the new name must receive approval from the federal Board of Trade. “It’s a formality with the federal government, so it will take time. It won’t happen overnight,” she said. She added that the approval will likely take several months.

KIWANIS. I remember hearing this word a lot when I was younger. To me, it meant going with my family to get delicious pancakes in the park and my Papa going to special meetings on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. When I was younger I didn’t fully understand what Kiwanis was all about, that was, until I got to attend one of their meetings myself. My name is Lindsey Jenner and I am proud to be Miss Kiwanis in this years Blossom Pageant. The Kiwanis Club of Summerland began on April 13, 1949 when a group of men wanted to be more involved in the community. At first it was a service club just for men, but as the years went by they allowed women to join the club as well. The current Kiwanis Club has nine members in which five of them are women. The Kiwanis slogan is “We Serve the Children of the World” and they do just that. The Kiwanis Club is involved in One on One reading programs at various schools, handing out Kiwanis Medallions to all grade 5 graduating students, sponsoring S.A.D.I., Girl Guides, Blossom Pageant candidates and generously giving bursaries to two grade 12 graduating students. Not only is Kiwanis dedicated to helping children, they sponsor and maintain many events held in the community as well. The Kiwanis Club annually sponsors the Summerland Fall Fair, Action Festival, Shakespeare Festival and Blossom Run. Furthermore Kiwanis sponsors the Summerland Food Bank, Heart and Stroke Foundation, Cancer Society along with the senior citizens complex. At the meeting I attended I remember Kiwanis talking about a newer sponsorship they have been taking on, a B.C. Guide Dog. The little puppy has been in the program for about four months now and continues to thrive. Kiwanis has always been known for their pancakes in the park. These breakfasts are not only fun and delicious, but they are the main fundraiser of Kiwanis in which all of the proceeds go directly back into the community. I am proud to say my Papa was lefthanded governor in 1981 and 1982 and my Nana is one of the five women in the club and continues her membership with the Kiwanis club today. Kiwanis has impacted so many people’s lives and supported so many events in the community. Whether it was reading with children, sponsoring a Blossom Pageant candidate like myself or making their beloved pancakes in the park they always seem to bring such joy into the community. I would like to thank the nine amazing members of the club for all their support. So next time you smell the delicious aroma of pancakes in the park be sure to think about the amazing things Kiwanis continues to do for the children, teens, adults and community. Lindsay Jenner This was presented at the Blossom Pageant Tea and the Summerland Waterfront Resort.

EDITORIAL
our pick
Addressing apathy When fewer than onetenth of eligible voters made the effort to cast ballots in the Summerland Chamber of Economic Development and Tourism board election, something is wrong. There are more than 800 businesses which are members of the chamber. While some are non-voting members, the majority are eligible to vote. Only 58 ballots were cast. Whatever one thinks of the outcome, such a low voter turnout is disappointing. Summerlanders have not shown enthusiasm at other elections over the past 12 months. The turnout at the municipal election in November was just 36.1 per cent and at the federal election in May, the turnout in this riding was 62.6 per cent. The federal election turnout was a little higher in Okanagan Coquihalla than nationally, but the results still mean nearly two out of every five eligible voters did not bother to vote. In the case of the municipal election, nearly two-thirds did not vote. If they had, we may have seen a different council elected. In the case of the chamber election, fewer than one in 10 of eligible business owners cast ballots. The rest were silent. How can the chamber speak for the business community if the board does not even know whether it is what its members want? Those who did not vote may have had any number of reasons for stepping outside of the electoral process. Because they did not vote, there is no way of knowing whether they passively supported the outcome of the election, whether they did not care about the outcome, whether they were disappointed with the candidate choices or whether they did not believe in the democratic process. The declining voter turnout needs to change. Decisions made by elected bodies affect us all.These things matter. And because these decisions matter, your vote matters too.
Summerland Chamber of Commerce has been receiving most of its operating budget from the Municipality of Summerland, but now the chamber is working toward having the municipality contribute 50 per cent instead of the 63 per cent it provided last year. The mandates of the two organizations are often aligned, but they are different. A more independent chamber could be a more effective chamber.
bad Connecting students with jobs apples VICTORIA – The noise of the teachers’ strike drowned out debate on the B.C. budget so thoroughly that one of Finance Minister Kevin Falcon’s more controversial ideas only made the news last week. Reporters dubbed it “Welfare Air.” Falcon plans a pilot program to offer social assistance recipients training and airfare if they can line up a job in B.C.’s northern energy boomtowns. Workers are Tom Fletcher being imported to fill jobs there, while in Metro Vancouver and elsewhere the number of single employable people applying for social assistance is rising. Much of oil and gas work is dirty and dangerous. These days most industrial jobs involve sophisticated electronics, and the technical skill level required is high. But there are entry-level jobs going begging, and relatively high pay is offered to fill positions in a short-staffed service sector in the Peace region. NDP MLA Carole James, no stranger to northern B.C., dismissed Falcon’s plan as a stunt. There are unemployed people in the region who should be offered training before we start flying people up from Vancouver, James said. Yet I repeatedly hear from northern employers that the labour shortage is real and growing.
The NDP warns that B.C. faces a future of “people without jobs, and jobs without people.” Mostly they blame the B.C. Liberals for removing apprenticeship programs from union control. I spoke with James about post-secondary needs a couple of weeks ago. She mentioned NDP leader Adrian Dix’s signature policy to restore B.C. student grants, funded by a capital tax on financial institutions. She also agreed that part
tried to “vocationalize” public education for a century, but the “people” have always “resisted.” Radical socialists aside, why would matching student aid to employment demand be unpopular with teachers? Education Minister George Abbott offered a clue during the lengthy debate over ending the teachers’ strike. Abbott noted that for every three teachers coming out of B.C. universities, there is currently only one job
And our economy definitely does not need more kids taught Marxist claptrap. of the problem is young people taking post-secondary education that leads to fields with poor job prospects. I suggested that if B.C. taxpayers are to increase their subsidy to post-secondary students, already worth about two thirds of their schooling costs, perhaps grants could be targeted to areas of pressing economic need. To my surprise, James agreed that is worth considering. This is significant, not only because it is likely to be unpopular in the education establishment. After writing about the labour shortage last week, I was bombarded with messages from an irate Vancouver high school teacher who mocked the whole notion as corporate propaganda. No labour shortage exists, globally or in B.C., he claimed. Rather, “capitalists” of the “one per cent” have
available. Certainly student debt is an issue worth discussing. And most would agree it’s easier to pay off loans if one can find a job in one’s field upon graduation. Should further subsidies go to soon-to-be-unemployed teachers? No. Our education system trains too many people for what they want to do, rather than what the economy needs. And our economy definitely does not need more kids taught Marxist claptrap. Further to that, a tax on banks will be popular with some of today’s students, who protested against capitalism in the “occupy” camps that will resume as the weather improves.

Early on Saturday morning, a motorist disregarded traffic laws and safety during a chase in Summerland. W h i l e this incident occurred without injury, it could have been a lot worse. Anyone on the roads at that time could have been injured or killed as a result of the driver’s actions. The vehicle owner has received multiple tickets for driving violations. It is fortunate the incident was not more serious.

Overhaul needed for child protection Dear Editor: Child safety is not as important as parental rights? The recent scathing report from the B.C. Representative for Children and Youth revealed the vicious circle faced by a desperate mother trying to protect her children from their abusive father. The RCMP, the
Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) and the court system all failed to prevent the father’s abuse, and it took the death of the three Schoenborn children of Merritt to finally get the government’s attention to their plight. Unfortunately, this same vicious circle
continues to cause other families great anxiety, and emotional and financial devastation as parents who are trying to protect their children from abuse are forced to hand them over their abusers. The MCFD, the court system and the RCMP are very quick to assume that pro-
tective mothers are vindictive, and therefore lying, and that the children’s statements are planted. If further allegations of abuse are reported, the MCFD is motivated to justify their original opinion. The victims are re-victimized by the system. As the protective
parent desperately turns to lawyers, counsellors, psychologists and supervisors, the financial toll mounts and the vicious circle grinds the family down. It is important for the public to understand that there are many types of abuse, and most do not leave blood or bruises as
physical evidence. Abusive parents profess their love for their children. Their children usually love them as well, and often are manipulated to secrecy by bribes, threats, etc. Child abusers will not admit their crimes, as they want their friends, neighbours and families
THE EARLY YEARS
to believe they are normal parents. And of course they don’t want to go to jail. Child abusers are often respected members of society, popular and friendly. Please believe a child if they confide in you. Then prepare yourself to be launched into the vicious circle, because protecting innocent children should be of primary importance, and is not for the faint of heart. If you or your family have been victimized by this vicious circle, please write to the the B.C. Representative for Children and Youth head office, Suite 201, 546 Yates St., Victoria, BC V8W 1K8, Attention: Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond. Their website is rcybc.ca The government agencies that are tasked with protecting our children need to be seriously revamped and held accountable. Ann Gregoire Summerland

Blossoms by the bunch
Spring has officially arrived and it won’t be long until the orchards burst into bloom. In 1942, the crabapple trees in this orchard in Trout Creek were really flaunting their blossoms. The photo also shows the flume that brought the water down, which the orchardist then directed into small trenches around each tree. Speaking of trees, if you’re interested in researching the blossoms on your family tree, the South Okanagan Genealogical Society is holding an open house on Saturday, March 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Stop by the Penticton Library and Museum Auditorium, 785 Main St., to find out more about genealogy research. You may discover peaches, pears, crabapples and maybe even a few nuts on your family tree.
Pipe Alberta oil to Quebec and Maritimes Dear Editor: What an admission! Why else would Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Fisheries Minister Keith Ashfield be working to lessen the environmental standards on fish habitat at this time? They know there is an almost
certain chance of environmental damage which would be caused by pipeline construction across northern B.C. Fish and many other species could be severely affected by habitat damage. Why not follow Wildrose Alliance Party of Alberta leader Dan-
ielle Smith’s advice to export Alberta oil eastward? Quebec and the Maritime provinces are corrently dependent on OPEC oil. The terrain is easier and refineries are in place. Say “no” to the pipeline across northern B.C. Say “no” to easing of environ-
mental standards. Say “no” by joining with the people who live in the North and do not want the pipeline. And inform MP Dan Albas and PM Harper of your opposition to the proposed pipeline. Sheila White Summerland

See other affordable housing successes Dear Editor: Congratulations to council and municipal staff for coming up with the idea of making use of the old RCMP property for affordable housing. I’m not sure how the financing is being handled, but to make it affordable, we assume that the land will be “gifted” to the buyers, because
if it isn’t, a realistic price for the land alone would make it unaffordable. We don’t want, after all, to wind up with a situation similar to the one which has been causing such a ruckus in Penticton. I like the basic design of the housing concept, but with only two bedrooms,
it limits families to those with two children or less. A home with little more than 1,000 square feet gets to feel constraining after a while, so perhaps some of them could be built with two stories, which would also lend itself to a much more viable neighbourhood in the long run. I realize the
sketch in the paper is just a preliminary idea, but another suggestion might be in order. Assuming that most of the units will be family occupied, you might want to look at the centre area as a playground for youngsters. The sketch doesn’t appear to allow that. Perhaps reducing the number of units from 16 to 14
would give that extra space needed. What our planner needs to do is check out other locales where this concept has met with success. It is, after all, not as revolutionary as some people seem to think. Camus Gardens in Victoria, Cardington Apartments in Kelowna, Austin Heights and Mallardville in
Coquitlam as well as St. Georges in North Vancouver could offer some additional ideas and inspiration. And, above all, there are many, many European examples to chose from. If Summerland can make this project both financially feasible and an attractive place to live, families who need a leg up will
certainly be appreciative, I’m sure. I might add, however, that we need to follow some of the regulations that have been imposed on buyers in the town of Whistler — particularly in the resale of the units to avoid “flipping” of properties. Good work, folks. Frank Martens Summerland
Garnett Valley work needed Dear Editor: Living in Summerland 65 years and driving Garnett Valley Road since the age of 16, I have seen little change in its route or its surface. At that time, say 1959 or earlier, there were 36 families living in the valley. During those days most houses usually had
one family vehicle. Since those times there are now 41 new homes Ten of the more recent homes have businesses. This would include wineries, large hay-producing fields, landscaping businesses, excavating businesses and bed and breakfast businesses, all of which create

considerably more traffic. Combining these new additional homes and the fact that many now have two, possibly three, cars per household we have an increase in traffic of 400 per cent travelling up and down the same narrow twisty road. This does not even take into account the increased traffic with business vehicles visiting the valley for other purposes such as fuel trucks, etc. In approximately 1959 the road was rerouted because of the creek and paved up to the then-superintendent of public works’ residence and no further. Years later a cheap way of dressing up the road was done by just oiling and grading the road into a supposedly harder surface. A year or so later a head-on collision not 300 yards further up the road involving a prominent municipal worker seriously injured two family members. Two vehicles have slid off the road during win-
ter on an improper sloping section of the road which now collects vast runoff puddles forcing vehicles to creep along the wrong side of the road approaching a corner. Further up the road at the approximately two-mile mark from town, two vehicles have rolled off the road down a very steep hillside, one of these being a large motor home. Still further up the road at approximately 3.5 miles a serious headon collision occurred at the crest of a rise in the road having poor visibility to oncoming traffic. Lastly a serious accident occurred recently with a recovery truck hauling a vehicle from another accident when it edged off the road, again on a narrow corner. When will the municipality take responsibility for this dangerous and hazardous road and quit putting Garnett Valley residents on the back burner? Gordon K. Dunsdon Summerland

Denesiuk named to board of governors A new face on Okanagan College’s Board of Governors is already well-known
in regional and provincial circles. Connie Denesiuk of Summerland has
been appointed to the college’s board by the province for a term ending Sept. 30, 2013.
She recently finished a three-year term as president of the B.C. School Trustees Association. Denesiuk served on the Okanagan Skaha School Board of Education for 19 years, nine of which were in the role of board chair. She currently sits on the boards of the Summerland Asset Development Initiative and the Summerland Chamber of Economic Development and Tourism. She’s a partner in R. Denesiuk Construction, a family business that she has run since 1980 with her husband. “News of Connie’s appointment is welcome,” says Okanagan College Board of Governors’ Chair Lance Kayfish. “She brings a wealth of experience on the provincial and national scene (Denesiuk also served on the Canadian School Boards
Association), and a well-honed sense of governance. “She also understands far better than most the intricate and vital relationship between the K-12 system and Okanagan College,” said Kayfish. “After many years of involvement in governance of the K-12 education system, I am excited to now have the opportunity to engage in post-secondary education as part of the Okanagan College governance team,” says Denesiuk. “I have always admired the strong connection between our communities and Okanagan College. Okanagan College stands out as a very responsive organization, and I am extremely pleased to join the board.” There’s another strong tie that Denesiuk shares with Okanagan College. “My own earli-
est post-secondary experience was continuing education business courses, while my husband Bob worked through a four-year carpentry apprenticeship, both through Okanagan College. The result has been a construction business partnership that continues today, more than 30 years later.” D e n e s i u k ’ s appointment came in concert with the reappointment of Tom Styffe, who has served on the board since 2010, and is the current vice chair. His appointment has been extended to Dec. 31, 2015. Styffe is a resident of Okanagan Falls, and is semi-retired after a career in construction project management that spanned more than three decades. His work included projects ranging from the $25-million New Westminster campus of Douglas College
to schools, hospitals, commercial projects and more than 1,000 units of residential construction. He’s serving his second term as an alternate director for the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen and has been active in municipal and provincial politics, including serving as a councillor for Logan Lake. Styffe and Denesiuk join appointed members Bill Cooke, Loretta SwiteGhostkeeper, Doug Manning, Yvonne Pinder, Sunddip Nahal and Kayfish on the board. Elected members from college constituencies include Michael Conlin, Lianne Rozniak, students Michael Marino and Ross Saunders as well as ex officio members Jim Hamilton, Okanagan College president; and Rick Gee, chair of the college’s Education Council.

Few vote for new chamber directors Few of the members of the Summerland Chamber of Economic Development and tourism bothered to vote in the election for the board of directors last week. While the chamber represents more than 800 businesses in Summerland, with close to 700 eligible to vote, only 58 ballots were cast. “We did what we could to make it easy,” said Lisa Jaager, manager of the chamber. “We did everything possible to encourage and promote it.” Eight people were in the running for five positions on the board.
Brett DeWitt, Jason Embree and Darin Fair were elected to two-year terms. Maged Said and Thor Clausen were elected to one-year terms. Clausen had served as president over the past year. Incumbents John Lathey and Bruce Charneski were not returned. The eighth candidate was Andre Roman. Arlene Fenrich and Connie Denesiuk have one year left in their terms on the board. The board will meet later this month as the members choose a president.

*** Academy Award Winner *** Best Foreign Language Film *** Transcending cultural and religious barriers to present a fascinating portrait of contemporary Iran, this film has garnered accolades from critics and audiences around the globe. 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)

annual general meeting on March 13, Lisa Jaager, manager of the chamber, explained the breakdown of the chamber’s finances. The municipality contributed $200,000 or 63 per cent of the chamber’s funding. The telephone directory brought in $15,270, funding for summer students
added $8,387, Tourism B.C. funding came to $10,000 and the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association contributed $10,200. Money raised directly by the chamber made up $74,642, or 23 per cent of the chamber’s budget. For 2012, the chamber will once again
receive $200,000 from the municipality, but this will represent a smaller share of the total funding, at 60 per cent. Other funding will include $19,800 for summer staff, $10,000 from the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association, $15,505 from the telephone dir-

Agriculture projects receive funding The Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C. (IAF) will contribute up to $1,294,030 toward 28 new projects to help the B.C. agri-food industry seize opportunities and deal with emerging issues. The list includes new projects contracted between Sept. 1 and Dec. 31, 2011. Funding for these projects is provided by IAF through programs it delivers on behalf of the federal and provincial governments. Projects include research into disease management, technology development, market assessment and emergency planning, among others. “These projects are helping agrifood operations from all different sectors increase the sustain-
ability of their industry and improve product offerings to consumers,” says Stuart Wilson, IAF chair. “We are pleased to help applicants find innovative solutions to address challenges and pursue new opportunities that foster growth in their sector. We continue to encourage industry groups to contact us with their ideas.” Two projects from the Okanagan Tree Fruit Cooperative Ltd. are included. The first is an initiative to reduce bitter pit in apples with foliar application of Apogee. This is valued at $38,500. The second is for the treatment of Bartlett pears with 1-methylcyclopropene. This has a value of $39,735.

Library increases eBook offerings With the everincreasing interest and demand in eBooks, the Okanagan Regional Library has added more than 1,400 new titles to its digital book collection free to all library members in the region. The ORL had been part of a consortium of B.C. libraries that shared in a collection of eBooks and eAudiobooks called Library to Go, but changes to the software distributor ’s contract required the library to start its own collection called ORL eBooks. Access to both collections of digital books can be found on the ORL’s homepage www.orl. bc.ca by clicking on the Library to Go or ORL eBooks buttons. The new ORL eBooks collection includes 1,380 titles
of digital eBooks that can be read on compatible computers, eReader devices, and mobile smartphones, and 47 eAudiobooks that can be listened to through an mp3 player. New content is being added each week. Since the service went live a month ago, members in the ORL region have already checked out items over 2,000 times. “We’re really starting to see that shift to our members using digital content, especially a spike after the holidays when many people get eReaders as presents,” said Lesley Dieno, executive director of the regional library. The eBook and eAudiobooks can be requested and borrowed just like physical books for up to three weeks. The
files include digital rights management coding to ensure they cannot be shared and they are automatically returned to the library when the loan period is up. “It can take a bit of patience to learn how to use the system and download the initial software needed to work with the files, but once that’s done customers can place holds, download content, and read or listen for free,” explains Dieno. “And one great
advantage, especially for customers who live a distance from one of our branches, is that the content can be accessed at any time from a home computer.” The ORL has been part of the provincewide Library to Go service since 2009, and saw an 82 per cent increase in downloads in 2010 and a 151 per cent rise in 2011. Library customers will still have access to Library to Go
materials purchased before the end of this month as well as its new ORL eBooks collection. “When building our own collection, I wanted to focus on materials I knew would be of interest to people living in our region,” says adult collections librarian Barbara Jo May, who oversees the purchase of items for the regional library’s catalogue. “I also wanted to include some con-
tent that was always available with no limits on the number of copies borrowed or waitlists. These ‘maximum access’ licenses are much more expensive and not an option with all titles, but we were able to include some for our members.” Always available titles include the collection of Disney digital books for children and Lonely Planet travel guides. The regional library also has other digit-
al content available to access from its homepage, including freegal free music downloads and TumbleBooks animated online books for children. If you have questions about getting started with eBooks, visit your local branch to talk to staff and pick up the Getting Started with eBooks and eReaders pamphlet. You can also find information online at www.orl.bc.ca or email info@orl.bc.ca.

Funding will protect heritage building This week the B.C. Legislature is adjourned and will resume sitting next Monday on March 26. Although some citizens believe that Members of the Legislature only have duties when in Victoria, the reality is that work back home in our ridings is also very important and must not be overlooked. One project that has been ongoing for quite some time in the community of Peachland is a community effort to renovate one of Peachland’s most iconic heritage buildings and redevelop it as a community services centre. The renovated schoolhouse project once complete can offer a broad range of programs and services that promote healthy and active living for residents including children and youth. This project also has the potential to promote tourism and learning opportunities on account of a large bat colony in the attic of the schoolhouse and due to the geographic location
of the building will also tie in nicely with recent waterfront walkway improvements. In summary this is an admirable community effort to not only protect a heritage building but in a manner that will continue to serve current and future generations of local residents. This week I will be in Peachland to announce $400,000 in provincial funding under the Community Recreation Grant program in support of this important project. This funding will assist with the removal and salvage of existing building materials and also to facilitate an exterior restoration that includes barrierfree accessibility. Interior renovations will also include increased disability access and energy efficiency upgrades that include the installation of energy efficient lighting throughout. Exterior site work includes xeriscape landscaping along with benches, picnic areas and enhanced
Noise bylaw waiver approved The annual requirement to waive the noise bylaw for the Blossom Run at Peach Orchard Campground will not have to come back to the council table next year. On March 12, council passed a resolution to waive the noise bylaw requirements for the campground during the weekend. The waiver pushes the quiet time from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the Vic-
toria Day weekend, in order to allow the annual Blossom Run outdoor dance. In the past, this resolution had come to the council table annually, but the latest resolution sets the long weekend event as an annual event. “I appreciate the way we’re going about this,” said Coun. Martin Van Alphen. The resolution received unanimous support of council.
lighting. The completed project is one that will be a long term asset to the community and I look forward to this project finally moving forward. Later this week I will also be announcing Community Recreational Grant funding for projects around Penticton and area that will enhance pedestrian connectivity and promote opportunities for citizens to get out and walk more frequently.
The success of the Peachland waterfront walkway project has demonstrated how government investment in creating pedestrian infrastructure can help to keep citizens of all ages more active and engaged in staying healthy. On an different theme but one I know will be of interest to many senior drivers in the South Okanagan is recently announced changes to the DriveAble program.
For those of you unfamiliar with the DriveAble program, while it is relatively new to British Columbia it is a research-based, scientific assessment tool intended to evaluate driving errors related to cognitive impairment. It is used in other jurisdictions across North America, Australia, and New Zealand to help determine an individual’s medical fitness to drive. The new changes
VICTORIA VIEWS
Bill Barisoff announced today will ensure that drivers who do not pass the in-office assessment will have the
opportunity to take a DriveAble on-road assessment. These changes are in response to complaints from many seniors who felt that the in-office assessment test did not fairly provide for an opportunity to demonstrate real on road driving abilities. For more details on these program details please do not hesitate to contact my office. Bill Barisoff is the MLA for the riding of Penticton.

Wireless changes in the plans I greatly value the feedback that I hear from the citizens of OkanaganCoquihalla. It is important for me to hear a cross section of different perspectives and what issues are of most frequently raised across our region. Throughout this process I am always impressed by the great diversity of opinion from citizens even when discussing the same topic. Although opinions and views often vary one area I frequently hear consensus on
is the need for government to support policies that lead to investment and job creation. Most citizens are aware that investment creates jobs; however, efforts to attract investment must also include recognizing the barriers that exist that ultimately either prevent or delay the creation of new jobs. How can government promote investment that in turn leads to the creation of jobs? There are many industries within
Canada that are significantly regulated by the federal government, one of these industries is the wireless telecommunications industry. The communications industry is rapidly growing one as more than 98 per cent of Canadians now have access to wireless services and over 8 million citizens now own a wireless smart phone. Wireless services are provided by private companies who utilize frequency bands that they acquire a license for
Professional Installation • Satisfaction Guaranteed
through an auction style process. The licenses and related frequency bands are regulated by government and are commonly referred to as “spectrum” within the wireless industry. Recently our government has announced intentions to offer 700 and 2,500 MHz frequencies up for auction. These frequencies offer differing technical attributes but ultimately will allow companies to bring the benefits of the latest 4G LTE networks to Canadian consumers. One other significant change is that our Government will also amend the Telecommunications Act to exempt companies

with less than 10 per cent of total telecommunications Canadian market revenue from foreign investment restrictions in the Act. What this means is that new companies will now have an opportunity to bid on this spectrum and to compete with the existing large scale providers and offer Canadian consumer more choice and options for wireless services. There are other provision in the amendment that will promote increased rural wireless availability and a provision to improve current tower sharing policies that will help to prevent the proliferation of new antenna towers.
OTTAWA REPORT
Dan Albas As is often the case with a change in government policy, these changes were not supported by all interest groups. In this case, current providers of wireless services opposed special auction measures and changes to foreign investment restrictions that would open up the market to increased
competition. Our government supports policies that will increase investment and promote job creation. Increased competition will result in more choice and expanded services for Canadian consumers combined with potential cost savings as new companies compete for business. These recent policy changes are another example of efforts made by our government to continue to promote polices that attract investment and support job creation. Dan Albas is the Member of Parliament for OkanaganCoquihalla and can be reached at dan. albas@parl.gc.ca
Elderly drivers offered option of a road test by Tom Fletcher Special to the Review Drivers more than 80 years old who fail a computerized test of their mental ability will now be offered a road test before they have to surrender their licences. Attorney General Shirley Bond announced the road test option Monday after complaints from people who lost their driving privileges based on a computer test called DriveABLE. Some elderly people with little computer experience found the touchscreen tests of cognitive ability to be unfamiliar and unfair way to test them. The DriveABLE test has is administered on referral from doctors who detect
cognitive impairment in patients that may affect their driving. Bond said those who failed the onscreen test in the past six months will be offered a free road test, using a test car with dual brakes. Those who failed more than six months ago have to see their doctor before being reassessed. NDP public safety critic Kathy Corrigan was surprised to hear that the DriveABLE program is now being “peer reviewed,” a step that she said the government should have taken before the service was contracted for B.C. Corrigan said the road test option is a step in the right direction, but details of that haven’t been

made public yet. Bond also announced that a new DriveABLE assessment centre will be opened in Cranbrook, making 18 locations in B.C. A new mobile service is also in the works, so people in rural areas don’t have to travel as far to be tested. The DriveABLE test uses a terminal with a touch screen to measure mental abilities. In the first stage, the driver holds down a button until a shape appears on either the left of right side of the screen. The subject has to release the button and touch the shape as quickly as possible, to test reaction time and accuracy of movement. Another stage tests ability to notice changes at the edge of the field of vision, simulating pedestrians and traffic signs. The test subject must make a decision about a word in the centre of the screen, and also report the location of a target that appears at the same time in a different area of the screen.

Rocket girls advance to final round of midget AAA play For the third year in a row, the Thompson Okanagan Female Midget AAA Rockets team is advancing to the final round of the BC Female Midget AAA Championship. The semi-final round was played in Kelowna on the weekend where the Rockets faced off against the Vancouver Fusion. In a best out of three series, the first game saw the Rockets go up on the Fusion by 2-0 at the 8:03 minute of the second period. The first goal was scored by Kennedy Kneller (unassist-
ed) and the second goal was scored by Jesse Keca (assisted by Maggie ShykulaRoss). With 19 seconds left in the second period the visiting Fusion team got one past Rocket’s goalie Jamie Grove to make the game 2-1 heading into the third. The 3rd period ended scoreless and the Rockets won Game 1 by 2-1. The second game on Saturday night saw a Rockets team come out determined to take the series in two games. At 5:58 of the first period Cora Sutton
(assisted by Colby Williams) sent a rocket from the point to beat Fusion goaltender Cassidy Hendricks. At 1:28 of the first period Colby Williams tipped another shot from Cora Sutton past Hendricks to put the score at 2-0 heading into the second period. The Rockets dominated the Fusion in the second period and despite many more shots on goal were not able to put another one past Team BC goalie Hendricks. With 1:55 left in the third period and six
attackers, the Fusion managed to put one past Rockets goalie Jamie Grove to put the game to a onegoal spread. The Rockets, however, finished the game off strong and kept the Fusion from tying the game and won the semi final round of the playoffs. The BC Female Midget AAA Championship will be played at the Langley Sportsplex where the Rockets will face off against the Fraser Valley Phantom in a best of three series on March 23, 24 and 25.

Today’s drivers face more distractions than ever before. Technological gadgets from smart phones to MP3 players give drivers new reasons to look away from the road. Distracted driving is any activity a person engages in that can distract him or her from the primary task of driving. There are three main types of distraction: 1. Visual: Taking eyes off the road. 2. Cognitive: Not thinking about what you’re doing. 3. Manual: Taking hands off the wheel. Distracted driving may include talking on a cell phone, eating food in the car, thumbing through the maps on a GPS device, or even changing the radio station. But the type of distracted driving that has become an epidemic, particularly among younger drivers, is texting while driving. The National Highway TrafÀc Safety Administration says that 20 percent of injury crashes in 2009 involved reports of distracted driving. The age group with the greatest proportion of distracted drivers was the under-20 age group. As texting has become the preferred method of communication, a large percentage of automobile accidents might be due to texting. When driving, the safest bet is to refrain from any activity that takes one’s eyes, hands or mind away from the road. If answering a cell phone or working with another device is necessary, drivers should pull over to the side of the road and take care of what they need to do.
