Signs at a new Main Street business are larger than the regulations in the municipality’s sign bylaw, following a variance at the July 23 council meeting. The variance, for the Bad Robot electronics and computer store, allows for a wall sign of 2.7 square metres and window signs of 3.2 square metres.

The maximum wall sign allowed under the sign bylaw is 2.5 square metres while the maximum window sign is 1.5 square metres. The wall sign, when it is in place, will be the same size as the sign for The Source, which had been there earlier. Maged Said of Bad Robot said the window signs are needed as people will notice his business while walking

along Main Street. He said the existing sign bylaw is too restrictive. “We think the bylaw’s broken,” he said. “Small business in Summerland has a hard enough time as it is.” A resolution to approve the wall sign but to postpone a decision on the window sign until after the sign bylaw is revisited was defeated. A second resolution to

approve the larger signs received unanimous approval. Coun. Robert Hacking was not present for this discussion. Mayor Janice Perrino said the sign and design policies in Summerland are changing. In the late 1980s, Summerland adopted an Old English theme for the downtown area. The theme design guidelines specified the colours

allowed on buildings, the lettering on signs and the exterior finishes. In recent years, municipal council has relaxed on the downtown theme. “I think we’re going more to a Summerland approach,” said Mayor Janice Perrino. “It’s where we need to go in the future.” The lettering on many of the Old English signs proved difficult to read, she added.

RCMP station officially opened by John Arendt After years spent working in a cramped and aging facility, Summerland’s RCMP members now have a new and large building for their detachment. On Friday morning, police and community

members attended the official opening of the new detachment on Pineo Court. Mayor Janice Perrino said she first toured the former building in 2000. “It was already old. That was obvious,” she said. In one corner, plastic

sheets were in place to keep rain from damaging the computers. When prisoners were taken to cells, they were taken through the building, past unarmed support staff. “This building was not safe,” she said. The building had been

constructed in 1969 as a restaurant and was converted to become a police station in 1975. At the time, it was adequate for the community’s policing needs. Perrino said the new building was in the works for many years. Over 12 years, the com-

munity had four mayors, five municipal councillors, three municipal administrators, three sergeants and three referendums. “The amount of money wasted over those years is mind-boggling,” she said. See COMMUNITY Page 3

Community supported new station Continued from Page 1

The last referendum, in the fall of 2010, drew more voters than in the 2011 municipal election. When the construction began last year, the project had a budget of $4.5 million and a deadline of April 30. The project was finished later than the deadline, but the actual cost, at $4,498,982.50, is slightly less than the budgeted amount. MP Dan Albas said the building is needed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This new building will allow the people who serve you to do a better job, a safer job,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure this building will serve you well,â&#x20AC;? added MLA Bill Barisoff. Sgt. Mona Kauffeld of the Summerland RCMP detachment said the Summerland Citizens on Patrol members acted as strong advocates for the new building. She added that those who supported the last referendum also deserve thanks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Surely without you, we would not be here today,â&#x20AC;? she said. Insp. Brad Haguli of the Penticton South Okanagan Regional Detachment said the new building will serve Summerland

EDITORIAL

our pick

Designs and signs Not too long ago, in the late 1980s, Summerland adopted a theme to provide a unified appearance to the downtown businesses. The theme, at times known as the Tudor Theme, the Old English Theme and the Summerland Theme, was characterized by its Old English lettering, the halftimber facades on the front walls of the buildings and the emphasis on muted earth tone colours. Some communities in B.C. and Washington State have had success with themes. In Summerland, the theme had been a point of controversy for some. Supporters said the theme added a character to the community while opponents thought the guidelines were too restrictive. In addition, while some downtown business owners went to great lengths to comply with the theme, sometimes doing extensive modifications to their buildings, others did much less. In recent years, the design guidelines and sign guidelines have been relaxed considerably. The most recent issue, the signage at the Bad Robot electronics and computer store, is just one example of lettering that would not have conformed to the former regulations. The change in direction over the downtown theme raises a few questions. First, will the downtown area have a disjointed appearance if some buildings adhere to a theme while others do not? Second, since Summerland spent years branding itself with the theme, will the softening of the regulations hurt our image? Third, if the guidelines are unnecessary, why was much time and effort spent in creating a downtown theme in the first place? Adopting a community theme is a difficult process, as has been seen over the years. Abandoning the theme could be just as controversial as introducing it.

The new Summerland RCMP station which was officially opened on Friday is a significant improvement over the former police station. The old building was adequate when it was opened in 1975 but as the police staff increased, the building was no longer adequate. We are glad to have a new building which can accommodate our present and future policing needs.

The cost of Olympic dreams As the world watches, 10,500 athletes from 204 countries and other geographic areas are competing in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. The games have become the pinnacle of international sport. Even those who do not normally follow sporting events will watch the Olympics. Since 1900, Canada has sent athletes to every summer games except the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, John Arendt which Canada boycotted. This year, 277 Canadian athletes in 24 sports are competing. The games are a source of national pride and even those who do not normally follow sporting events will cheer on Canada’s participants. The same holds true of the Winter Olympics. In 2010, Canada sent 206 athletes in all 15 sports to the Winter Olympics in Vancouver and Whistler. Canada’s medal count at the those games was impressive with 14 golds, seven silvers and five bronzes. This is the record for the most gold medals at a single Winter Olympics. And in 2008 at the Summer Olympics in Beijing, Canada sent 332 athletes in 25 sports. Canadian competitors brought home three golds, nine silvers and six bronzes, ranking 19th in the standings. For the athletes, the road to Olympic competition, whether

at the summer or winter games, is long and difficult. Any of them can attest to the years of training necessary to compete with the best athletes in the world. Any of them can speak of sacrifices they have made in order to pursue their goals. Those who are not athletes cannot begin to comprehend the dedication it takes to prepare for the games. Only the best of the best will be able to compete at this level.

too. As a nation, we send our best to compete in the summer and winter games. This year, the Canadian Olympic Committee has set a goal of finishing in the top 12 in medal standings. This is an ambitious goal. In 1992, Canada was 11th in the medals standings, but in subsequent years, Canada has ranked considerably lower among the medal winners. We expect much out of our Olympic athletes. Not only do

The costs of training and coaching are not cheap and as a result, fundraising has become an important part of an athlete’s role. But it takes more than dedication and hard work to make it to the Olympics. It also takes money. The costs of training and coaching are not cheap and as a result, fundraising has become an important part of an athlete’s role. We have seen this from our recent Summerland Olympians. When freestyle skier Kristi Richards was working towards the goal of competing in the 2006 Winter Olympics, she received strong support from the community. She also had many speaking engagements and made appearances at numerous fundraising initiatives and social functions. Now, as bobsleigh athlete Justin Kripps continues his goals of Olympic competition, fundraising is part of his life

we expect them to be the best in the country; we also expect them to be among the best in the world. That by itself is an onerous responsibility. Adding fundraising and public appearance duties to their schedules is asking a lot. Businesses, organizations and individuals in Summerland stepped forward to help Richards pursue her Olympic dreams. Kripps has also received support as he trains for his sport. But the funding model for our athletes could be improved. Our athletes need to do what they do best. They need the freedom to perfect their skills in their sports. And they need to be able to do this without the added burden of fundraising. John Arendt is the editor of the Summerland Review.

culls As another long weekend approaches, highways in the Okanagan Valley will be congested as visitors arrive to spend a few days in the area. Accidents can mar a long weekend and too often, traffic accidents could have been prevented or at least minimized if drivers had used a little more care and consideration. Safe driving is important at all times, and on all trips but during a high-traffic weekend, motorists need to drive with even more care and attention. Please drive safely.

Motorist thankful for help

THE EARLY YEARS

Dear Editor: I wish to extend a special thanks to Don White of Garnett Valley who interrupted his trip to rescue a damsel in distress who happened to be me. I had car trouble coming up Summerland Hill and had forgotten to take my cell phone with me. Many vehicles passed inches from my car at breakneck speeds but Don, travelling

south, realized I was in trouble and turned at the bottom to come up behind me with flashers on. He was able to start my car and drove it home for me while I drove his car. He was knowledgeable, kind and took the time to make sure I was safely cared for. A simple thank you will never be enough for his actions. Lorraine Taylor Summerland

“The foundation stone of the new Anglican church, which will be known as St. Stephen’s, was well and truly laid on Sunday last by the Ven. Archdeacon Beer, of Kaslo.” Oct. 9, 1909, Summerland Review. By spring 1910, the church was open and active, as you can see in this photo of guests gathering for the Zimmerman – Cartwright wedding.

Participants guessed water storage date Dear Editor: The Community Cultural Development Committee held Earth Week in Summerland in April with various events geared to raising awareness and encourage dialogue on environmental issues and sustainability at the local level and beyond. During Earth Week, the Summerland farming community held a freshet contest. Participants were asked to guess the date and time when

Thirsk Dam would stop spilling, thus officially bringing an end to the Trout Creek spring freshet. This date is important for all the residents of Summerland, as it signifies the city is now using stored water to carry on our lives, recreational activities and business for the rest of the year. If this date is very early, there is more likelihood of water shortage problems during the summer and fall. The longer

the dam spills the more confident we can be that environmental, domestic, and irrigation requirements will be sufficient for everyone’s needs if it is managed well and the weather is not too extreme. According to Scott Lee, head of water operations for Summerland Public Works, the latest Thirsk has ever stopped spilling is Aug. 24, and the earliest is June 18. There have been two years when the dam did

not quit spilling. This year the Thirsk dam quit spilling at approximately noon on July 14. This year’s contestants made far ranging predictions that the dam would quit spilling anywhere from April to August, but most people guessed July dates – indicating a good understanding of our watershed. The winner for the 2012 Summerland Freshet Contest is Helen Poncelet of Summerland. She guessed July 14, 6

a.m. She is the winner of two beautiful hanging baskets from Summerland Greenhouses on Canyon View Road and a forty pound box of the apples of her choice when in season. Honorable mention goes to Diddy Evans July 14, 4 a.m. – only two hours apart between these two guesses. Denise MacDonald BCFGA Water and Environmental Committee chair Summerland

Dear Editor: While Adrian Dix and the NDP have been lighting their hair on fire over the Enbridge pipeline project for who knows how many months, Christy Clark and the B.C. Liberals have been quietly proceeding along the path of due diligence in a calm and thoughtful manner. The two political approaches, left and centre-right, stand in sharp contrast and speak to the quality and character of government each party is known to provide to the people of B.C. Whereas the ideologically-driven Adrian Dix flat out said “NO” to the pipeline, completely disrespecting the integrity and spirit of the public review process while also sending a major chill down the spine of anyone thinking

about investing in B.C., Christy Clark and the B.C. Liberals put their noses to the grindstone, sought out facts, considered the interests of all British Columbians, and formulated five tough but fair requirements for heavy oil pipelines. Yes, they have set the bar high for heavy oil pipelines in this province, but the people of B.C. expect nothing less from their leaders. So, kudos to Premier Christy Clark, Environment Minister Terry Lake and all involved for having considered and understood the many facets of this complex issue and the wisdom of that old saying, “slow and steady wins the race.” Mike Taylor Port Moody

Energy assessments offered Job The LiveSmart BC Business Energy Advisor Program has launched its second round of free energy assessments for businesses in the Thompson Okanagan.

Funding for the program, which includes cash rebates and incentives from both Fortis BC and BC Hydro, has been extended until March 31, 2013.

This time, around 200 small businesses and 150 restaurants will be eligible to receive a free energy assessment delivered by a LiveSmart BC qualified Business

Summerland Medicine Centre Pharmacy Dr. Cindee Melashenko

That’s a great question Linda. Our teeth are active throughout the day chewing, grinding, or clenching and this activity can cause your fillings to wear away, chip, or crack. Most people are first alerted to a change in their filling with their tongue – something doesn’t feel right, or a sensitivity when chewing. Your dentist can likely identify weaknesses in your fillings before you notice them during a regular checkup. Once the original filling starts to break down, food particles and decay-causing bacteria can work their way under the filling. You then run the risk of developing additional decay in that tooth. Decay that is left untreated can progress to infect the dental pulp and may cause an abscess – leading to either a root canal treatment or an extraction. If the filling is large or the decay is extensive, there may not be enough tooth remaining to support a replacement filling. In these cases, your dentist may need to replace the filling with a crown. 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!

Energy Advisor. The assessment will identify areas where businesses can save energy such as lighting, heating, cooling, hot water heating and much more. On average, businesses that received energy assessments last year had the potential annual savings of $1,000 and could access $1,300 in rebates, with an estimated payback period of 2.5 years and savings of 10,224 kWh in electricity. The energy assessments provide a baseline for small businesses to understand how they fare in terms of energy efficiency and then connect business owners with opportunities for rebates, energy efficient technology and cost savings. The program is provided at no cost to participating small businesses. Businesses can call GreenStep at 250-862-8941 or visit livesmartbc. ca/incentives/smallbusiness to book an assessment.

action affects library branch Summerlanders who have ordered books through the Okanagan Regional Library will have to wait as a job action by unionized library workers continues. Beginning on July 23 and continuing for two weeks, members of CUPE Local 1123 have not been administering the library’s pull list. This means items requested by customers at other branches would not be pulled and sent to the customers. The union represents 87 full-time equivalents at 16 branches of the Okanagan Regional Library system. In Summerland and other South Okanagan branches, staff members are not part of the union. While the Summerland branch is continuing to provide its usual services, the effects of the job action can still be felt locally. “A lot of people order their books online and our shelves have been empty,” said Sue Kline, librarian at the Summerland branch. “It’s a difficult situation.” Earlier this summer, library customers also had to deal with delays when van drivers did not make deliveries, also as part of the job action. Despite the inconvenience, Kline said the library users have been understanding and patient. While the job action is continuing, the Summerland branch remains busy this summer. The summer reading club for children has more participants than ever before. Before the job action began, library staff selected books to recommend and brought multiple copies into the branch.

POLICE REPORT Boat, trailer and truck taken Overnight on July 25, police were called after a Mastercraft ski boat, on a trailer, was stolen from the 19000 block of Lakeshore Drive North. The value is estimated at $120,000. Also on the same night, a grey 2002 Dodge diesel pickup truck was stolen from the 1200 block of Wharf Street. The license number is 7243HG. Police believe the two incidents are related.

Barn hit Police were called on July 25 after a motorist struck an old barn at the bottom of Gartrell Road. While the barn is still standing, it received significant damage. Police believe the incident was deliberate.

Motorhome stolen On July 27, police were called after a 1989 Itasca motorhome was stolen from Summerland. It was recovered in Peachland the following day, undamaged.

Donating funds Staff at the Summerland Credit Union raised $752 for Critteraid through the staff’s Comfort for a Cause initiative. In front are Emily Molland, a junior ambassador for Critteraid, Lisa Valancius of Critteraid and Herlinda Burt of the Summerland Credit Union, with members of the Credit Union staff.

The one constant in today's world is change. Research and Technology is constantly advancing what we know and can do. Society and the legal community face a very difficult battle in dealing with the very important issues which arise from scientific discovery and new technology. One such area where the law is struggling to keep up with these changes is genetic research. Because genetic research and the recent advances in that field have the actual power to change life as we know it, it is critical that society as a whole and the legal community insure that the proper safeguards are in place. The questions raised in this area do not have easy answers and people's views on those questions are affected by many different influences. This makes it very difficult to provide a legal framework for how the advances can be used and developed. One thing we do know however, is that the advances and questions will keep coming.

Wine receives provincial award by John Arendt A Summerland winery has won a provincial award for one of its top vintages. On July 25, Lieutenant Governor Steven Point presented a 2012 Lieutenant Governor’s Award of Excellence in British

Columbia Wines to Thornhaven Estates Winery. The winning wine was the 2011 Gewurztraminer. “Winemakers in British Columbia are not afraid to experiment with influences and techniques from around the

world,” said Michael O’Connor, president of the Government House Foundation. The foundation administers the awards on behalf of the Lieutenant Governor. Jason Fraser, winemaker at Thornhaven, said the award is the

result of hard work from many people. “It is a great honour to win the Lieutenant Governor ’s Award for Excellence in British Columbia Wines,” he said. The grape growers, winery staff members and others involved in the winemaking

process all helped to produce the wine. Point said he has tasted the various wines which were submitted for the awards, “but what’s been even more delightful is to meet the people,” he added. “It’s great to see these tremendous

achievements.” The awards were started in 2003 to celebrate wines made from British Columbia grapes. In the first year,

30 wineries entered. This year, 347 wines from 94 British Columbia wineries were entered. Of these, 11 wines from 10 wineries received awards.

Top athletes to compete in Ultraman Top endurance athletes from around the world will be in the South Okanagan and Similkameen on the August long weekend for the Ultraman Canada event. The three-day event, similar in structure to the Ironman Canada triathlon, covers 512.6 kilometres. This year, 31 athletes from eight coun-

tries are entered. The event begins on Aug. 4 with a 10-kilometre swim in Skaha Lake and a 145-kilometre bike ride, which ends in Okanagan Falls. The second day is a 275-kilometre bike ride which begins in Penticton and ends in Princeton. The third day is an 84-kilometre run

from Princeton to Summerland. Steve Brown, race director for the event, said the event has been in place since 1993. Last year, 34 athletes participated. He said in the early days of the event, the finish rate was around 40 per cent. Today, with better conditioning

for the athletes, better training and better nutrition, more than 90 per cent will finish the three-day course. “We have qualifying standards,” he said. “People coming into the event are qualified to take it on.” Brown said athletes, their support crews and volunteers

will add up to 150 to 200 people. He added that the event is not just a physical challenge for the competitors. “It’s more of a journey for the athletes and their crews,” he said. “These people are pushing the limits of what they can be doing.” Because sum-

Youths participate in triathlon program TriPower Triathlon Club’s training camps are in full swing with 45 kids, ages six to 14 taking part in the main program and another half dozen children from four to six participating in the mini camp. The first week of the camp culminated in 33 TriPower athletes participating in the Boston Pizza Jun-

ior Triathlon held on Saturday, July 14 in Penticton. Special congratulations to TriPower’s first time racers: Danny Nixon, Chloe Collins, Alyssa Dafoe, Emma Wagner and Ryland Wagner. In the 6-7 division, Sean Peters placed second and Ryland Wagner fourth while Keirsten Sorensen

Danny Nixon had a great first-time performance posting the second fastest swim time in this division. Elia Rodriguez had an outstanding personal performance and earned third place in the girls 14-15 division. TriPower has several more races this season including the Summerland ORCA KOS race on Sunday, Sept. 2. For more information about TriPower please visit www. tripowertriclub.com

mer weather conditions are uncertain, competitors could face cool and windy weather or extreme heat. At one event, temperatures climbed into the low 40s when the athletes were on the Richter Pass outside of Osoyoos. Despite the grueling nature of the event, it continues to gain popularity. Brown already has heard from at least 20 people who are ready

to apply for the 2013 Ultraman Canada event. The endurance event is one of three in the world and it is a qualifier for the Ultraman World Championships in Hawaii.

Many summer activities offered

Bike action Dustin Harber performs some BMX tricks on the half pipe at the Summerland Asset Development Initiative’s Unity Youth Centre. The half pipe was officially opened last week and provides a facility for skateboarders and BMX enthusiasts.

Well, as you read this, the 2012 Summer Olympics will have started in London but it is also mid-summer here in the Okanagan and a time when our area flourishes. Obviously we have our great beaches with a lake the envy of people everywhere, and the amount of programs and opportunities here in Summerland are endless. Congratulations to Summerland Asset Development Initiative and especially Brad Reimer who put in many hours to build the new half pipe skateboard ramp at SADI. Laceydawn Loeppky and her crew offer a wide variety of programs throughout the summer for Summerland youth. The Summerland Library has offered its popular summer reading club throughout July and the Summerland Museum and Sharon Stone always have fun adventures planned in addition to the history at the Museum. The South Okanagan Sailing Club (what better a place to be on a hot slightly windy summer day?) have for years offered exciting sailing lessons as all three of

Richards retires from ski team Summerland’s Kristi Richards, a twotime Olympic mogul skier, has announced her retirement from the Canadian Freestyle Ski team. After 11 years on the national team, the 2007 world champion in single moguls holds an impressive record of 82 FIS World Cup starts, with 12 podium appearances.
