Installing a hydrant

John Arendt Summerland Review

Kyle Kurulak of Pacific Flow Control Ltd. installs a fire hydrant on Prairie Valley Road last week. Crews from the public works department were also on hand.

Summerland’s transit service — or more specifically the lack of a scheduled transit service — will be on the table once again when Summerland council representatives attend the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention later this month. As in previous years, Mayor Janice Perrino will ask when the municipality will get a scheduled bus service. “I’m getting tired of doing this annually,” she said. The community has limited bus service, by reservation only. A bus from Summerland to Penticton runs Monday to Friday at 7 a.m. and 1:45 p.m., with service from Penticton to Summerland at 8:15 a.m. and 3 p.m. On the first Tuesday of the Janice month, a bus for specialist Perrino appointments leaves Summerland at 9:30 a.m. and returns from Penticton at 1 p.m. The need for a bus service has been discussed for close to a decade and when improvements were made to Rosedale Avenue and Prairie Valley Road in 2010, bus shelters were included. In addition to the questions about transit service, Perrino will also meet with the Minister of Health on ambulatory care and expansion at the Penticton Regional Hospital. She will also meet with the Minister of Agriculture to discuss strategies for future growth. See LAND Page 3

Hungry bears return to valley by John Arendt As the temperature gets cooler and as the fruit continues to ripen, hungry bears are showing up in Summerland. Bob Hamilton, a conservation officer with the provincial Ministry of Environment, said bear sightings become more

common in fall. “It’s a normal cycle,” he said. “Living in the Okanagan, we will always have bear conflicts because of the fruit.” This year, the number of sightings is down a little compared with the last couple of years. Hamilton said resi-

dents should take measures to discourage bears from stopping in the community. “We want them to be uncomfortable around us,” he said. While there are black bears in the area, they seldom attack people. At times, however,

they will respond if they encounter a dog. Hamilton said one attack near Willowbrook occurred when a dog owner attempted to interfere in a conflict between his dog and a bear. Encounters with dogs and other wildlife, including deer, have also

become dangerous. “Your dog could bring trouble to you,” Hamilton said. At present, encounters between dogs and wildlife have not been a problem in Summerland, but there have been serious confrontations elsewhere in the region.

The Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association is accepting digital photo submissions of the Thompson Okanagan area for the 2013 Travel Experiences Guide.

Everyone is invited to “take a bite” and enjoy the hometown goodness during the Summerland Fall Fair this weekend. The 103rd annual fair is set for 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday at the Summerland Curling Club, 8820 Jubilee Rd. East. Gate fee is $5 a person. Children 12 and under will get in free when accompanied by an adult. Connie Davis, president of the fair, said this year’s Take A Bite theme is an invitation to savour the flavours in the fruits, wines and food pairings, as well as enjoy the many other aspects of hometown goodness. “We very much have a local emphasis.” Judges will pick the best locally produced

fruit, vegetables, dairy products, eggs, honey, wines, cider, beer, flowers, livestock, pets, baking, canning, handicrafts, photos, writing and other items on display. Old-fashioned fun and food will be available, including traditional Ukrainian fare, a pie-baking contest, a quilting exhibit, free apples and a contest for creating the longest apple peel. Local entertainers will also be performing, including cowboy poet Grant Stone, Neil Young tribute artist Kevin Foley, 11-year-old singer Trista Algar, recording artist Linnea Good, the western stylings of Melita Ree and Wendy Rodocker, Summerland Pipes and Drums, and Uncle Chris the Clown.

ting a fee exemption for their information booths, thanks to a provincial community gaming grant. More than one activity will be used to raise money for the local food bank. A “can-struction” contest will make use of canned and boxed goods that will later be donated to the food bank. Summerland IGA will be selling corn and kabobs in a fund-raiser for the food bank. Davis pointed out this is a needy time of year for the food bank, with donations at a seasonal low. Kids will enjoy a new Lego bin and a little train. For both children and parents, a pioneer workshop will give everyone a chance to make rope, grind wheat, drill, hammer and nail using hand and foot powered tools. For the second year there will be a junkto-funk fashion show, in which recycled materials are made into wearable art. Interactive renaissance games for the whole family, a medieval trading post, home arts demonstrations, an imagination market and local wine tasting are just some of the other activities to enjoy. The Big Apple contest will ask participants to guess the weight, girth and volume of the Fall Fair Apple, which is a fibreglass septic tank designed by Jim Ripley of Turtle Tanks and sanded and finished by Kelsey Van Alphen and the crew of Alder Street Autobody. In keeping with the local wine industry, wine tasting and food pairing will be offered.

Vehicle thefts increase by John Arendt Police are urging motorists to remove their valuables and lock their vehicles following a rash of thefts this summer. Sgt. Mona Kauffeld said police have dealt with numerous thefts of trucks and boats over the summer. On July 6 at 2:10 a.m., an officer attempted to pull over a truck towing a boat. The driver left in order to evade police. While police recovered the GMC Suburban and Thunder Jet boat shortly afterward, the occupants had left. On July 25, a Mastercraft X-2 speed boat was stolen from Lakeshore Drive. That day, a 2002 Dodge Pickup was also stolen from Summerland. The truck, a 2002 Dodge, was recovered Aug. 10 in Williams Lake but the boat has not been recovered. Overnight on Aug. 1 to 2, seven vehicles were targeted in what police consider a string of related theft

attempts. On Aug. 2, a 2000 Ford F250 was taken f r o m Wo o d s Av e n u e and a 2008 Ya m a h a Grizzly ATV was t a k e n from PraiMona rie Valley Kauffeld Road. T h e truck was recovered in West Kelowna on Aug. 20 but the ATV has not been recovered. On Aug. 25, a Misty River aluminum boat and four-horsepower outboard were stolen from South Okanagan RV. They are worth around $3,000. A Chevrolet Silverado four by four was stolen from Victoria Road the same day. Both were recovered on Bridgeman Road north of Summerland. Kauffeld said it is important for motorists to secure their vehicle to reduce the risk of thefts. She added that items left in a vehicle become targets for thieves.

Land use issues raised Continued from Page 1

“When we remove land from the Agricultural Land Reserve, we have to consult with the Agricultural Land Commission,” she said. Some of the land near Summerland’s core is in the land reserve, even though it has not been actively farmed for years. Perrino has repeatedly presented a plan to have growth in the community concentrated within a 10-minute walk from the downtown core. This could result in removing some of these properties from the land reserve. “Are we going in the right direction by

doing the 10-minute walk?” she asked. She added that the municipality may not attempt to stop growth in the community. If Summerland’s population grows by two per cent a year, it would take 10 years before the community would reach a population of 12,000, she said. The Union of B.C. Municipalities convention will be held Sept. 24 to 28 in Victoria. In addition to Perrino, Coun. Peter Waterman, Coun. Orv Robson and acting municipal administrator Ken Ostraat will attend.

All aboard Conductor Ron Belisle assists passengers boarding the Kettle Valley Steam Railway on Monday. The steam railway is now in its fall season with rides on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Campfire ban now rescinded A campfire ban in Summerland has now been rescinded. The municipal fire ban, which was

imposed along with a fire ban in the region, was removed on Aug. 29 at noon because of a decrease in the fire

hazard rating in the region. Fires may not be larger than half a metre high by half a metre wide.

Is Piano on your Bucket List? EZee Piano Systems© is now being oﬀered in the Penticton and Summerland areas! EZee Piano Systems©, a specialized group beginner piano program for adults and seniors, has had great success with its students since its opening in September 2010. Adults and seniors are accomplishing their goal of playing the piano and having fun and learning along with making new friends. This program focuses on beginners (no one is too old to learn) and those with limited experience who want to add to their musical knowledge and play for their own enjoyment. EZee Piano Systems© can accomplish in 6 months what traditionally takes over 2 years to learn. Along with a specialized notation to begin with, adults who have had no experience with the piano are playing hands together from the 1st lesson and within 4-5 weeks are playing in a 4-octave range, learning chords, and learning how to improvise their music pieces. If you always wanted to play the piano, meet people with similar interests, have fun learning, but most importantly accomplish your dreams of making music, EZee Piano Systems© is the program for you! New sessions are now available. Call Joanna Hibberd 250-494-7892 to book your free, no obligation introductory lesson. Visit our website at www.ezeepianosystems.com

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Parental Co-ordination Lawyers and Family Court Judges know that a certain small percentage of files take up an inordinate amount of the courts time. These high conflict cases are continuously back in front of a Judge because the parties refuse to co-operate with each other even over the smallest detail. As reported in the January edition of the Canadian Lawyer, there now appears to be help for these cases. The use of a Parental Co-ordinator was developed from the child-centered style of alternate dispute resolution which has existed since the mid 1990's. The goal of the system is to provide assistance to the parties in keeping their minor differences from becoming all encompassing battle fought in the court system. This process is still very new in Canada, however any program which reduces the strain and stress of constant court applications would be welcomed wholeheartedly.

Still waiting for the bus The delays have become annoying. Summerland has bus shelters in place, but anyone who waits there to catch a bus to Penticton will be waiting a long time. A scheduled bus service has been identified as a need for many years and the shelters were set up in hopes of bringing in that service. While Summerland Transit offers rides to Penticton, those who wish to use this service must book space in advance. The bus operates Monday to Friday, twice a day, with an additional run on the first Tuesday of the month. Even if one wishes to reserve a spot on the bus, the schedule will be inconvenient for many. For those who work in Penticton — close to one in three working Summerlanders — the route schedule is unworkable for most if not all. For those who wish to take a trip into Penticton in the evenings or on the weekends, there is no transit service available. Since there are also many in Penticton who come to Summerland for work, recreation or other reasons, a transit service would also benefit them by providing an additional transportation option. The provincial government has been pushing for green initiatives for several years. Offering a scheduled transit service between Summerland and Penticton would fit in with this goal. Because of this, we do not understand why the province has been dragging its heels in making a decision on the bus service. Summerland cannot get a suitable bus service in place alone. It will take assistance from the province to make this happen. In a few weeks, Mayor Janice Perrino will ask provincial officials once again about the status of a transit service for the community. This time, we need action, not just hollow promises.

Congratulations to all who participated in the Sprint Triathlon on Sunday. Hundreds of participants, from children to adults, took part in the competition. The event has appeal to those who might find a full Ironman course intimidating. Those who took part have made a commitment to fitness. We would like to see many more follow their example and focus on fitness.

Separating oil from manure VICTORIA – I was as surprised as anyone to hear about the plan by this newspaper’s owner, David Black, to begin regulatory work on an oil refinery for Kitimat. I’ll leave it to others to comment on the practicality of that plan, and whether it would make the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline project more acceptable to Tom Fletcher B.C.’s government and population. Black Press news coverage, columns, letters to the editor and other reader comments are not affected by this project, and there has been a range of views expressed already. Whatever the merits of the refinery idea, it has advanced the debate over pipelines and the place of oil in our society. And that’s a good thing, because as someone with a basic knowledge of chemistry and some experience in oil refining, I have noticed a lot of ignorance about the subject. Today I’d like to address some of the main misconceptions, which have been exploited by some opponents. The first one is oil pollution in general and how it gets into the environment. A global study by the Smithsonian Institution in 1995 calculated the amount of oil making its way into oceans this way: Big tanker spills accounted for 37 million gallons a year, about five per cent of the total marine

oil pollution identified. By far the largest source was oil runoff from land into drains, from oil changes, municipal and industrial wastes and other sources: 363 million gallons. Bilge cleaning and other routine ship maintenance added 137 million gallons, four times the tanker spill average. Air pollution from vehicles and industry deposited hydrocarbon particles equal to another 97 million gallons; natural seeps added 62 million gal-

than steam extraction, which is slightly higher than conventionally drilled and pumped crude. The most greenhouse gas-intensive crude used in North America is California heavy crude, which is conventionally drilled. Burning coal produces far more greenhouse gases than oil, as University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver has calculated. Two U.S. environmental groups, including the one fronted by Redford, have lately been

Whatever the merits of the refinery idea, it has advanced the debate over pipelines and the place of oil in our society. lons; offshore drilling discharges accounted for 15 million gallons. So that’s the first thing to understand. It’s not tankers and pipelines doing most of the polluting. It’s you and me. Then there is the propaganda about greenhouse gas emissions from the oil sands crude. Actor Robert Redford is one of the highest-profile pitchmen for the false notion that “tar sands” oil generates three times the greenhouse gases as conventional oil. The facts are clear. The most widely cited source is a graph prepared by Cambridge Energy Research Associates, which shows that 75 per cent of greenhouse gases from all types of crude occur when the gasoline, jet fuel and diesel are burned by the end user. Yes, there are variations in emissions on the remaining quarter. Emissions from mined oil sands crude are slightly higher

promoting a study that suggests oil sands crude is more corrosive to pipelines. False, says the industry, showing analysis of pipes that have carried diluted bitumen for decades. The Trans-Mountain pipeline has been carrying crude from Alberta to Burnaby and Washington state for more than 60 years. It has periodically carried heavy crude for 40 years, and diluted bitumen for 25 years. Some of that crude is refined in Washington and the gasoline and diesel barged up to supply B.C. gas stations. And of course Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii and all other B.C. islands depend on marine fuel shipments. And let’s not forget the most common heavy oil used in B.C. It’s called asphalt.

bad apples Despite British Columbia’s laws and fines, some motorists still insist on talking on their cell phones or texting while driving. T h i s behaviour is not just against the law; it is also dangerous. Those who insist on making or receiving calls while driving should get a hands-free unit. Otherwise, please get off the road and park the vehicle before making a call or sending a text message. It is safer for everyone.

THE EARLY YEARS

Got a beef with that?

These young owners proudly displayed their cattle for the judges at the 1968 Fall Fair. The stock shows and equestrian events took place in the field where the museum is now located; exhibits and entertainment were housed in the Jubilee Arena (closer to Brown Street.) Visit the museum to find out more about fairs gone by. Don’t worry; you won’t have to watch where you step. Then head for the Summerland Curling Club on Sept. 8 and 9 and enjoy this year’s Fall Fair.

Details have been made public Dear Editor: Re: Summerland proposal too costly A recent letter to the editor has asked “where are the details” with respect to the exciting new project proposed for Wharton St. in Summerland. The development concept was first presented to the public at an open house on March 29, held by the developers of the project. This open house showed the type of development, number and size of proposed buildings

along with proposed uses within the buildings. Ninety-one people attended this open house with overwhelming support for the project. The project was reviewed in a public meeting by Summerland’s Advisory Planning Commission on April 20 where it received support. The zoning application received a full public hearing on April 23 and the rezoning bylaw was subsequently adopted. The details of the

agreement to develop this property were advertised in the Summerland Review on May 3 and May 10. The draft agreements were available at Summerland City Hall for public review. The agreement provides $5.9 million in municipal facilities that include a new museum, new cultural facility and significant infrastructure upgrades in the area, in exchange for municipal property and waving of municipal fees for

the project. Independent appraisals of the property were completed to establish a market value. The value of the land coupled with the waiver of fees equals the value of public facilities to be given to the District. The legal documents include a Purchase and Sale Agreement, a Development Covenant, a Museum and Cultural Facility Space Agreement, a Re-Purchase Option and a Servicing Agreement. The agreements

are drafted so no municipal funds are required. The land value covers all costs for the public facilities and off-site infrastructure improvements. The land will be transferred in phases as the properties are successfully developed. Ownership of the Museum and Cultural Facility spaces will be transferred to the municipality upon their completion. We agree that a cultural centre defines

the downtown of any community and anticipate that the Okanagan Regional Library will be included in this exciting new development. Free standing structures are less efficient than multiuse buildings and complimenting uses of multi-tenant buildings provide a synergy for all to enjoy. The current proposal is a downsizing from the previous proposal agreed to with a former developer in 2008.

The former proposal was also subject to significant public process. This successful agreement is the culmination of over 10 years of study and negotiation. The district is looking forward to the development of this important downtown property and the increase in business and vitality it will bring to Summerland. Ken Ostraat Chief Financial Officer and Acting CAO District of Summerland

Minister announcements nothing new Thanks for assistance Dear Editor: Why are the media making such a big deal about the decision of three BC Liberal cabinet ministers not to run in the next provincial election? The media act as though this has never happened before and seem to be suggesting that something earthshaking is going on. Well, I’ve got news for the media: The political history of British Columbia shows

that this is the normal state of affairs prior to every provincial election. Prior to the last provincial election in 2009, for example, there were six BC Liberal cabinet ministers who decided not to run again. These were Carole Taylor, Claude Richmond, Richard Neufeld, Olga Illich, Rick Thorpe, and Tom Christensen. Likewise, in 2005, five BC Liberal cab-

inet ministers decided not to run again. These were Gary Collins, Geoff Plant, Christy Clark, Sandy Santori, and Gulzar Cheema. Currently there are 18 people in the BC Liberal cabinet and only three have announced they are not going to run again. By my calculation that means 15 BC Liberal cabinet ministers (at this point) are planning to run again in the provin-

cial election next May. So, why have the media failed to make note of this important and much more significant fact? I can only conclude that the media have been having a very slow news month and as a result are looking for almost anything they can jazz up and make into a something resembling news. Greg von Euw Burnaby

Dear Editor, I, Pudge Robson, would like to thank all the fine people who helped me when I had a minor accident with my electric scooter in the shopping mall — the good people who advised my wife of what happened,

the paramedics who came so quickly and the great people at Penticton Hospital. Pudge Robson Summerland

Health Matters

George Dale (1897-1918) was a Summerland athlete and poet who was killed in the last days of World War I. He was carrying a wounded soldier off the battle field when he was killed by a shell. His memorial service on Sept. 1, 1918 is still considered the largest service in Summerland’s history.

September is Arthritis Month and “arthritis” is actually a catch-all term for a variety of conditions. Most people think of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis but other joint disorders such as lupus and gout are included. Arthritis doesn’t just strike older people; in the US alone, 300,000 children suffer from arthritic conditions. The best outcomes are achieved by early intervention, so don’t ignore symptoms. See your doctor.

A therapy that keeps coming up in the treatment of arthritis is… exercise! It’s hard to think about getting moving when it already hurts to be still, but exercise controls weight (reducing pressure on joints), reduces stress, improves reflexes, balance & flexibility – and may help prevent arthritis from starting. Look for low-impact exercises, such as swimming, biking or elliptical machines for benefits without increased damage.

Osteoarthritis is considered to be a wear-and-tear version of arthritis, as opposed to the auto-immune nature of rheumatoid arthritis. Tart cherries have the highest amount of antiinflammatory compounds of any food. A small study of women, given tart cherry juice twice daily for 3 weeks, had significantly reduced levels of inflammation markers and reduced pain by up to 20%. It’s even been shown to help with muscle pain.

Is Your 3 -4 Year Old Ready to Be Challenged Academically?

A new American study has found that one-third of arthritis patients also suffer from anxiety and depression. This combination of physical and mental impairments increases the complexity of treatment and also points to the impact such emotional distress can have on the management of arthritis. It’s important to work closely with your physician and describe all the symptoms you experience to obtain the best therapy.

Motorists who feel the need for speed could be in for some harsh lessons if they do not slow down in school zones. Sgt.

Veteran licence program expands More Okanagan veterans can now take advantage of British Columbia’s popular veteran licence plate program, which expanded on Sept. 1 to include serving members of the Canadian Forces who hold a trade qualification. “Any opportunity to recognize our veterans is a good idea. Special licence plates may be a small gesture, but one I know veterans appreciate,” said Bill Barisoff, MLA of the Penticton riding.

There are two Canadian Forces stationed in the Okanagan. The British Columbia Dragoons A Squadron is based out of Vernon while the B Squadron is based out of Kelowna. The commemorative plates feature a red poppy on a powder blue background. In the past, they have been available only to veterans who have served during a wartime or post-war capacity and those who served during a NATO or UN operation.

Support sought for hospital expansion by Barbara Manning Grimm The OkanaganSimilkameen Regional Hospital District, which includes Summerland, wants the support of service clubs and other organizations throughout the region in its push to build a new patient care tower at Penticton Regional Hospital. The regional district has made an application to the province, through the Interior Health Authority, “expressing great concern about the deteriorating state of the undersized Penticton Regional Hospital (PRH),” said Summerland Mayor Janice Perrino, who is also chairman of the regional hospital district and executive director of the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation. Provincial funding of $160 million is

sought. The regional district has committed $140 million and the medical foundation has committed $20 million for the $360 million project. In a letter to area clubs and societies, she said the hospital consistently operates at 110 per cent of its capacity. It serves a population base of approximately 90,000 citizens. PRH opened in 1951 to serve the acute health care needs of a population of 10,500. “There have been many incredible technological changes in healthcare over the past 60 years along with the inclusion of the entire region’s population and the natural aging of the residents.” Currently a number of the core PRH programs, including ambulatory medical day care and clinics, inpatient surgery, endoscopic and

minor surgical procedures, central supply and outpatient diagnostics do not have the physical space to safely handle the patient volumes that arrive from the entire hospital district of the South Okanagan and Similkameen region. Because of the lack of physical space in the ambulatory care area, numerous clinics have had to be wedged onto inpatient units scattered throughout the facility. Infection control and patient confidentiality are difficult to manage in this setting. Interior Health has identified the patient care facility expansion for PRH as its highest priority for capital planning. PRH requires a purpose-built patient care centre that includes all ambulatory services such as, medical day care,

inpatient surgery, day surgery, endoscopies and minor surgical procedures. It also requires space for general clinics, including Wound Care, Cast Clinic, Paediatric Clinic, Primary Care Maternity Clinic, Pre-surgical Screening Clinic, Transplant Clinic, Colonoscopy and the UBC Medical School student space. The expected benefits include innovative new medical technology, improved access and flow for patients and staff, increased safety and reduced risk and the more efficient use of operating costs and staff time. “Finally, the human resource efficiencies in staff utilization will be realized with a consolidated facility. “What an expansion will do for the entire region is bring in more medical staff

Two more B.C. Liberals out by Tom Fletcher Black Press B.C. Liberal house leader Rich Coleman has confirmed his intention to run in the 2013 election, as the party announced two more MLAs are retiring. West VancouverSea to Sky MLA Joan McIntyre and Richmond Centre MLA Rob Howard announced their retirement in separate statements Tuesday. McIntyre was first elected in 2005 and Howard in 2009. The changes came as Premier Christy Clark prepared to shuffle her cabinet. Surrey-Cloverdale

MLA Kevin Falcon resigned as finance minister last week. He was joined by Education Minister George Abbott, Children and Family Development Minister Mary McNeil and Chilliwack MLA John Les in announcing they won’t seek re-election. Coleman kept his options open when asked about his intentions in the spring, but on Tuesday he said he was ready for another political battle. “When I entered politics in 1996, I was very concerned about the damaging impact of NDP policies and wanted my children to have a better future

in British Columbia,” Coleman said. “Today, I feel as strongly as ever that my children’s and grandchildren’s future needs to be protected.” Other B.C. Liberals who have announced they are not running again are KamloopsSouth Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger, Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Harry Bloy, Vancouver-Fairview MLA Kash Heed, Surrey-Tynehead MLA Dave Hayer, Saanich North MLA Murray Coell and Penticton MLA Bill Barisoff. Abbotsford-Mission MLA Randy Hawes and Vancouver-Quilchena MLA Colin Hansen have

indicated they will decide soon on their political futures. Former cabinet ministers Barry Penner and Iain Black resigned their seats last year and were replaced by NDP MLAs in a pair of by-elections in April. Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen quit the B.C. Liberal Party in March and joined the B.C. Conservatives. NDP MLAs Dawn Black (New Westminster) and Mike Sather (Maple RidgePitt Meadows) have announced they are retiring next year, and NDP leader Adrian Dix said there may be more.

Boosters of the Penticton hospital expansion are willing to give 20-minute presentations about the project at club

meetings. Call 250-492-9027 or e-mail janice.perrino@interiorhealth. ca to arrange a presentation.

Camp donation Gregory Alan Watters, seen here with Agur Lake Camp Society President, Carla Ohmenzetter, has donated $3,000 to Agur Lake Camp to be used in the further development of a boardwalk project in memory of his father Derek Andrew Watters. The presentation was made at the Camp on Aug. 22.

Theatre group seeks space The members of Summerland Singers and Players would like a place to hang their hats, along with room for the rest of their costumes and props. Bryan Laver, vicepresident of the community theatre group, said the group also needs to find meeting space and rehearsal space, although the storage space is the most urgent need. For props a singlecar garage will pro-

vide enough space. The costumes take up enough space to fill two commercial dress racks. Costumes must be protected from the elements, he said. While the theatre group has been able to make arrangements for rehearsals for this fall’s production, space will be needed for future shows. “You need a large area, at the very least a full hall floor,” Laver said.

Summerland Singers and Players has operated for more than a century and over the years has met in numerous locations in Summerland. Those who have a suitable storage space, meeting area or rehearsal space are asked to contact Summerland Singers and Players president Betty-Ann Xenis at 250-494-5295 or vicepresident Bryan Laver at 250-493-6539.

Short-term missions trip to Ethiopia by Elfriede Volk Special to the Review Sheila Javorsky and Heinz and Elfriede Volk, all of Summerland, spent three weeks in Africa this summer, but instead of heat, they found cold and torrential rains. The trio had signed up for a short-term mission stint in Addis Ababa, which involved giving illustrated health talks and preaching 19 sermons in 16 days. Heinz preached in the auditorium of an academy, Elfriede alternated between an orphanage and a village school, while Sheila was under a tarp in someone’s yard. When this collapsed under the weight of the rain, she moved her equipment and audience into the humble home. In preparation for the trip, the trio had held a Mother’s Day yard sale in the parking lot of the Seventh-day Adventist church in Penticton, to raise money for Bibles for new believers. But the sale yielded more than anticipated, so that they could also make donations to the

Hamlin Fistula Hospital, the L’Esperance Orphanage and Children’s Village, as well as Prison Ministries. In Ethiopia alone, up to 7,000 women, some only girls, suffer loss of bladder and bowel control because of injuries suffered through prolonged labor in childbirth. As a result, they become social outcasts. One woman, in a futile attempt to control seepage, had even lost use of her legs. The fistula hospital not only performs 4,000 reconstructive surgeries per year, free of charge, but also offers education, midwifery training, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy. After touring the Fistula Hospital and purchasing handicrafts made by the patients, the Summerland trio left a sizeable donation. Founded 27 years ago, the L’Esperance Orphanage and Children’s Village also received a monetary donation, as well as items made and collected at home. Home to more than

1,000 children, the institution seeks to be selfsufficient. A herd of dairy cattle and fields of vegetables ensure that the children get a healthy diet. Any excess is sold to raise money for other needs. In addition to providing basic furniture, an on-site factory also gives occupational training to the older boys. Not all children at the Village are total orphans, but all are in need of care. Further donations helped finish a baptistery in a church still under construction and bought Bibles for Prison Ministries. The proceeds of the Mother’s Day sale also provided reading glasses for school children and shoes for barefoot youngsters in mud-hut villages. Before returning home, Javorsky and the Volks visited Axum, home of the world’s largest monolith and the ruins of the Queen of Sheba’s palace, as well as Lalibella, with its underground churches carved from stone.

Visiting Ethiopia Heinz and Elfriede Volk stop at the entrance of one of the 11 Orthodox churches carved into the mountainsides of Lalibella, Ethiopia. The Volks and Sheila Javorsky spent three weeks in Ethiopia this summer on a missions trip.

Gathering at the pier

Carla McLeod Special to the Summerland Review

The walking pier in Lower Summerland is used for more than just walking on these hot summer days. The pier had been a popular tourist spot during the summer.

Cycling event benefits food banks Thanks to the successful efforts of last month’s Valley First Granfondo Axel Merckx Okanagan cycling event and its title sponsor, fewer residents in the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson valleys will go hungry this year. The second staging of the granfondo saw more than 2,500 cyclists on Sunday, July 8 brave hot Okanagan weather conditions to ride as far as 160 kilometres. The course included Summerland, with an early-morning aid station staffed by Summerland volunteers. Summerland residents also volunteered at other locations throughout the Granfondo weekend. With the event now in the books, the focus for event organizers and Valley First switches to fulfilling a commitment to Feed the Valley – a commun-

ity partnership aimed at tackling hunger in the region. Through in-person donations, online donations, and cans and bottles returned following the event, more than $7,500 was donated to Feed the Valley. “The Feed the Valley program has enabled us to purchase more food which helps keep our shelves stocked,” says Christine Simmons, director of The Penticton Salvation Army Food Bank. “This July we had 157 new people using the food bank; it’s a busy time of year with children out of school.” Valley First president Paulette Rennie agrees the Granfondo has been a resounding success in many different ways. “The Granfondo is a simply tremendous event with incredible economic and community benefits,” says Rennie. “Par-

ticipants, volunteers and event organizers have really outdone themselves by generating such a significant Feed the Valley contribution. This effort makes Valley First extremely proud of its support of the Granfondo.” As well as the funds, more than 500 pounds of food items were delivered to the Penticton Salvation Army following the event, including 150 kilograms of bananas and more than 1,000 bottles of juice. “Together with help of all our sponsors, it’s once again a pleasure to work with Valley First and raise crucial funds through our event for Feed the Valley,” says Okanagan resident, event namesake, and former cycling champion, Axel Merckx. “We are so thankful for the support from the community, and so it’s without hesita-

Hearing Clinic

tion that we give back in the form of funds and food. We look forward to doing the same next year.” Launched to coincide with hunger awareness month in March 2010, Feed the Valley is a corporate citizenship program created by Valley First. Feed the Valley aims to raise food, funds and awareness for local food banks. With the ultimate goal of eliminating hunger through the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson valleys, Feed the Valley has raised more than $300,000 since its inception. The Valley First Granfondo Axel Merckx Okanagan is a fully supported ride featuring several categories and distances to challenge riders of all levels. In addition to attracting cyclists from several continents for a

weekend of cycling and family fun, the event raises funds for the Axel Merckx

Welcomes Greg Wiens, B.Sc. (Pharm) Greg Wiens, B.Sc. (Pharm), has joined the Pharmasave team and brings with him a wealth of experience and wellness knowledge. Born and raised in Kitimat BC, Greg moved to the Okanagan in 1999 to pursue his education at Okanagan University College, followed by the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. He graduated with his Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy in 2003, and commenced his professional career at Surrey Memorial Hospital where he worked for over 5 years. In 2008 he moved back to the Okanagan with his wife and two children. He has been working in the area for several years and thus brings with him passion for the local community. His special interests lie in preventative medicine, natural remedies, and vitamins. When he’s not at work you may ﬁnd him spending time with his family, relaxing with Russian literature and ﬁne wine, and playing tennis. We invite you to come in to meet our newest recruit!

It is often said that there are two sides to an issue and from my relatively brief experience as a Member of Parliament and previously as a city councillor, nowhere is this more true than in government. Once elected to public office, government leaders quickly learn firsthand that there is always more to most issues than what first meets the eye. There is also a disconnection that often exists between taxpayers and government at all levels that frequently is the result of a lack of information and at times poor communication. Getting information to citizens is critically important, and likewise as Members of Parliament we also have an obligation to be informed and to learn as much as we can on issues of importance. Often I am surprised at how a perspective may change given the introduction of new information and this is why I make every effort to meet with and have conversations

with as many citizens as I can in order to gain more input and learn about the many unique events occurring here in Okanagan-Coquihalla. There are also some issues I have encountered where the amount of general public knowledge on a subject may be somewhat limited. One area I have noted that there is often some public misunderstanding pertains to First Nations. Most citizens are aware that here in OkanaganCoquihalla we have many different First Nation communities. It is also frequently observed that there are varying levels of prosperity and economic success that are frequently attributed to the leadership of a particular band and council. While there is no question that leadership plays a very important role in every community here in our region, there are some other unique factors within First Nations communities that many in the public are unaware of.

OTTAWA REPORT

Dan Albas While it is commonly assumed that all band lands are managed collectively under the guidance of the chief, council and band administration, it is important to recognize that there are also lands that may be allocated to an individual member or family of the First Nation in question. “Locatee lands” as they are commonly referred to, in many respects are not unlike private lands from the perspective of a First Nation as the “locatee” has the ability to independently make decisions with respect to that land that may or may not be with the consent nor to the benefit of the local chief and council. It is not uncommon in Okanagan-Coquihalla for a locatee to lease locatee lands to private sector activities that may sometimes be controversial however it should also be recognized that these types of agreements are not necessarily authorized by the band and council. The status of band lands versus locatee lands were generally established many decades ago when reserve boundaries were first defined and many historical considerations were used as part of the criteria. Every band, from a geographical perspective, will have different and variable relationships between the size and location of locatee lands versus band lands. This is an import-

ant fact to be aware of as some bands will have complete control of their most strategically valuable lands whereas in other cases similar advantaged lands may be under the control of an individual locatee or after they pass on, it is inherited by a family member or members. From the perspective of a chief and council it can be much more difficult to implement projects and engage in development activities if prime band lands are access challenged or are competing with locatee lands that may enjoy the benefits of easier access and an enhanced ability to service. Fortunately for those bands who engage in taxation, First Nation taxation does apply to improvements on locatee lands as well as band lands so a greater tax base can be developed over time. We are fortunate here in the Okanagan to have some very progressive First Nations communities with forward thinking leadership that are currently pursuing some ambitious projects that will benefit our region. While this is a somewhat simplistic overview of some of the challenges facing First Nations land use I am hopeful that this information can provide more context of the unique challenges that may face a particular band more so then others. I value my strong working relationship with many of our Okanagan First Nations and look forward to more success in moving important projects forward for our region.

Summerland Review Thursday, September 6, 2012

www.summerlandreview.com 19

Upgrades done at Aquatic Centre Each year the Aquatic and Fitness Centre closes for two weeks for maintenance. The last week of August and the first week of September are chosen due to

the schedule change from summer hours to the fall hours and children returning to school. Many facilities in the province also close at this time for the same reasons.

This year we have drained the pool to do repair work on tiles, water valves and the main drain at the bottom of the pool. We do not drain every year because it is very expensive to balance

the pool water to the accepted standards set by Interior Health. Pool filtration and chemical systems are now so sophisticated that we rarely have a problem with an imbalance of water

purity and swimmer comfort and safety. The fitness room has been repainted, all the equipment removed, serviced and some replaced. We have purchased a new stair-climber and

also two new stationary bikes. The bikes will arrive in October and they will be equipped with a screen and Wi-Fi. These bikes are brand new to the fitness room world and we are excited that users will have wireless internet and the ability to check e-mail, Google and YouTube. The sauna has new seats and benches and we have replaced broken tiles throughout the building. The tile in the showers, on the lobby floor and the pool deck take a daily beating. The main water valve and pressure relief valve for the entire building had held for the past 36 years and needed to be replaced in the building. This project requires the water to be off for two days so plumbers can replace these essential valves. I have talked about the big projects that were completed this shut down but this time also gives us the opportunity to clean and touch up areas that are used throughout the year.

LEISURE TIMES

Brenda Ingram Also at this time I’d like to give a huge thank you to the aquatic staff that take on the challenges of painting, building and repairing and hang up their swimsuits for a couple of weeks. The Parks and Recreation office remains open during shutdown as we process fall program registrations and set fall/winter schedules for the arena, school gyms and other facilities. Autumn is just around the corner! Brenda Ingram is the Programs and Facilities Manager for the District of Summerland and proud to be a longtime resident of this great community.

Pool upgrades Chris Harkin, a lifeguard at the Summerland Aquatic Centre, does some painting as part of upgrade work at the centre. The pool and gym are now closed for upgrade work but will reopen next week.

Karate season kicks off Karate students of all ages are ready for another season of training and competition. Chris Taneda of Taneda said the program last year had 12 to 15 students in the five- and six-year-old category and 25 older students. He said some of the Summerland students have done well in the sport. At present Claire Boothe is compet-

ing internationally. Others have also gone on to international competitions in past years. “We’ve got a really good group in Summerland,” Taneda said. “We’ve had some really good success stories.” While karate is good for fitness, Taneda said it also includes mental discipline. “We use the exercises to strengthen

the mind,” he said. As a result, he said the participants achieve personal growth, not just excellence in the sport. “I’ve had many people say it’s shaped the direction of where they went in their lives,” he said. Karate has been offered in Summerland since 1981, when students from Summerland and Naramata asked for instruction closer to

home. Previously, they had been travelling to Kelowna several times a week for training. “These were pretty dedicated students to be doing that,” Taneda recalled. The karate season will begin on Wednesday, Sept. 12 at Giant’s Head School with classes for the youngest participants at 4:30 p.m. Adult instruction is offered in the evening.

Margaret is survived by her loving son Dwane (Renee) Dickinson, nine grandchildren and seventeen great grandchildren. Margaret is sadly predeceased by her husband Frank and son John. She was born in Edmonton on August 11th, 2012. Her family moved to Oliver, BC. She later married Frank Dickinson and lived in Oliver while Frank was serving in the army. In 1946 they moved to Summerland where she lived for the rest of her life. Margaret worked at both Walters and the Occidental packing houses. She was a member of the Royal Purple for many years. Margaret’s first love was her family. She loved to travel anywhere at anytime. When asked if she would like to go somewhere, she would say “just let me change my shoes and get my coat!” She also enjoyed knitting, gardening, socializing and going to the casino. Margaret may be gone from us physically, but she has left a legacy of love and kindness that will never be forgotten. A special thank you each and every person at Dr. Andrews Pavilion.

Summerland Review Thursday, September 6, 2012

Teamwork needed to reach goals I very rarely mention letters to the editor but a recent local letter is deserving of comment. The letter in question takes issue with who should be “credited” politically with a local project here in the region. With my own announcement of pending retirement as an MLA I have also received recognition for some of the projects that I have been involved with over the years. I believe it is important that the public have some added perspective on this issue. After close to 17 years as an MLA, I can tell you that it is exceptionally rare that any one person can move a project forward to successful completion. Generally speaking you need a team of dedicated and capable people who are able to work together in order to accomplish a significant public goal. At the same time, there are also individuals who can provide a contribution that without such a contribution a particular project may have never reached the ground breaking stage or would have taken considerably

to collectively work together in partnership extremely well over the past decade. Disagreements, bickering, and disputes may make for media headlines but they seldom achieve results for taxpayers. Fortunately major

disputes are rare in our region and if there is a consideration that I believe is often overlooked in politics, it is the ability to respect and reason with others. There is a final point I would like to raise before I close this week’s report and that is a request that

we never lose sight of the fact that when it comes to the subject of “credit” the most deserving is you, the taxpayer. Without tax dollars there are no projects and services that collectively benefit our region and our quality of life. Over the next year

as B.C. moves toward the next election every resident needs to carefully consider how much you in pay taxes and what services are most important you. As it stands today healthcare spending alone exceeds the combined revenue from B.C. personal

income taxes, MSP premiums, and HST. When you next hear the term “underfunding” ask how much more money is required and what taxes should be increased to reconcile that. Bill Barisoff is the MLA for the riding of Penticton.

Bill Barisoff longer to achieve. From my perspective these citizens are indeed deserving of recognition and in the South Okanagan we are fortunate to have many such individuals who live here. It also needs to be understood that the wheels of government typically move very slowly and driving one project forward may often come over another. These decisions are sometimes made at the political level based on the amount of available resources and funding. Cost pressures ensure that funding is extremely tight and most programs are oversubscribed while at the same time many other taxpayer services are competing for increased funding. The south Okanagan has been fortunate in that our elected representatives have been able
