Cops help kids

John Arendt Summerland Review

John Baur, an auxiliary constable with the Kelowna RCMP detachment and a participant in the 2012 Cops for Kids bike ride, chats with Isabel Porter, six years old, during a stop in Summerland. Porter, who is dealing with ongoing health problems, has benefitted from funding raised through the Cops for Kids fundraiser.

After eight months without an administrator, municipal council has selected someone for the municipality’s top job. Tom Day, who has more than 20 years of experience as a municipal administrator, was selected from a pool of 97 candidates. The position became vacant in January after the departure of Don DeGagne. Municipal financial officer Ken Ostraat has been acting administrator. In July, the municipality retained the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen to conduct the search. “Council was looking for a strong leader with proven skills in municipal management,” said Mayor Janice Perrino. “Tom also stood out for his focus on customer service and a value-set that will prove instrumental in helping Summerland achieve their community goals.” Day has held similar positions in Merritt, Sooke and Esquimalt. He has a degree in geography and political science from Simon Fraser University and a diploma in local government administration. “When the opportunity came up to live and work in Summerland, we couldn’t resist,” Day said. “I’m very excited to accept the challenge and can’t wait to get started.” He will begin his work on Oct. 15.

Funds approved for green initiatives by John Arendt The municipality has approved a climate action budgetary policy which specifically allocates funds for green initiatives in Summerland. Early this year, a climate action committee was formed with representatives from the community and municipal staff. The

committee’s mandate is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through implementing climate actions and recommending climate action account expenditures. “We are very proud of the progress made by the district in trying to reach the provincial goal of carbon neutrality,” said Mayor Janice Perrino.

For 2013, $30,000 has been set aside. The municipality has signed on to the Climate Action Charter, committing to be carbon neutral by 2012. Since 2009, Summerland has received $65,000 in funding as a result of signing the charter. To achieve carbon neutrality, the municipality must purchase car-

bon offsets from a credible provider or put the money into greenhouse gas reduction projects in their communities. The price of carbon offsets from the Pacific Carbon Trust is $25 per tonne. Coun. Martin Van Alphen said he is opposed to the purchase of carbon offsets. “It makes absolutely no sense to me,”

he said. The climate action committee cannot spend this money but can only make recommendations to council for green initiatives for the community. At the municipal level, some initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have included several projects to make existing facilities more energy efficient.

Cause of house fire not known Firefighters have not determined the cause of a blaze which destroyed a home on Paradise Road last week. The fire department received the call on Sept. 5 at 3:30 p.m. A total of 22 firefighters responded, but by the time they reached the scene, the house was already engulfed in flames. “When we first arrived, the fireball was at least twice the height of the building,” said assistant fire chief Chad Gartrell. As a result, firefighters worked to keep the fire from spreading to neighbouring properties. Gartrell said nobody was in the house, but one pet inside was lost as a result of the fire. The following day, crews and fire inspectors were at the house once again but were unable to determine why the fire had started. Gartrell believes the construction of the old building was a factor. “It’s a building that had all sawdust insu-

lation,” he said. Outside of the house, a tractor beside the building was damaged, but a fifth-wheel trailer nearby was protected as crews worked to prevent it

Parking spots added Summerland’s downtown area will have more spaces for parking as the municipality will widen two streets to accommodate more vehicles. Municipal planner Ian McIntosh said a portion of Wharton Street and a portion of Kelly Avenue will both be widened. On Kelly Avenue, the widening will be done across from Memorial Park. The extra width will also provide

additional space for the weekly farmers’ market. An expanded sidewalk area will also be added. On Wharton Street, the road will be widened to allow for angle parking on the portion of the street in front of the proposed development. On the opposite side of the street, parking will be added, but it is not yet known whether this will be angle parking or parallel parking.

started on the outside of the house, although it was not deliberately set.

EDITORIAL

our pick

Green initiatives The municipality has earmarked some funding for environmental initiatives within the community. The money set aside is $30,000 for 2013, although the specific projects have not yet been identified. In the past, some of the municipality’s environmental initiatives have included energy efficient upgrades to municipal buildings. Other initiatives and improvements will also be suggested in the future. While some may question the wisdom of setting aside municipal funds for environmental projects, doing so is much better than the alternative. Under the Climate Action Charter, which Summerland signed in 2009, the community must be carbon neutral by 2012. To do this, the municipality has just two choices: Buy carbon credits from the Pacific Carbon Trust at $25 a tonne or spend the money locally on projects which reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Put in these terms, it is easy to understand the need for the environmental funding locally. Buying carbon offsets seems like an ineffective option if there are any alternatives. The offsets remove money from the community but do not result in any changes to energy consumption or behaviour. In short, buying offsets can be seen as nothing more than a way to pay to pollute. Setting up green initiatives keeps the money in the community, where it can do the most good for us. The initiatives will also save us money in the longer term. Energy efficiencies now will result in lower consumption and therefore lower costs in the future. If done wisely, the initiatives can become investments into the community and ways to cut our energy costs over time. Any money-saving initiatives deserve consideration.

Summerlanders responded quickly when a wildfire broke out near Peachland on the weekend. Firefighters from Summerland helped battle the blaze while volunteers worked tirelessly to help those who had been forced to leave their homes. When a disaster strikes, it is comforting to know the community is able to act quickly to take care of those who have been affected.

bad Towns tackle modern problems apples VICTORIA – Local politicians are preparing for their annual convention, to be held Sept. 25-28 here in the provincial capital. One of the first orders of business this year will be a vote to raise the dues paid by local governments to the Union of B.C. Municipalities, to cover rising travel costs for staff to serve on provincial Tom Fletcher committees. The plan is also to change the name to Union of B.C. Local Governments, to reflect the participation of regional districts and aboriginal communities. So what do these committees and conferences accomplish? The UBCLG, as it will soon be known, is mainly a lobby group for local politicians to seek changes to federal and provincial laws to keep up with changing times. The resolutions offer a snapshot of modern problems facing local governments. A major theme is public safety, and this year it is the Columbia Shuswap Regional District renewing a long-standing plea for more provincial policing money for rural communities. Surrey has a resolution seeking better notice and control of a growing number of medical marijuana licences issued by Ottawa. Local fire and police departments end up dealing with licensed grow-ops that spring up quietly and create electrical hazards, or expand

production beyond their licences as this stealth legalization continues. Pitt Meadows, home to a Hells Angels clubhouse and drug-related crime familiar to most urban communities, wants B.C. to follow Alberta’s lead and give police authority to remove known gang members from bars and clubs. Gangs tend to adopt certain establishments, and there isn’t much the owners or police can do about it. This year, the debate may

that obsessively piling stuff to the rafters is a growing problem. And as with marijuana grow ops, “local governments have little or no authority to enforce compliance with health and safety standards when a building is owner occupied.” Another First World problem is the “pocket dialing” of 9-1-1 by mobile phones. This is more than just a nuisance, because local emergency services are obliged to respond to every call they get. And mobile phones can’t

Metchosin is seeking support to call on Ottawa to decriminalize marijuana, ending a “failed policy which has cost millions of dollars in police, court, jail and social costs.” No chance of that under the Stephen Harper government, but it’s worthwhile to send the message. Another long-shot demand, sparked by the abduction of three-year-old Kienan Hebert of Sparwood last year, is for Ottawa to make its sex offender registry public for convicted repeat offenders. Ashcroft councillors want to give emergency services authority to deal with another modern hazard: hoarding. Yes folks, it’s more than just a show on TV that exposes a creepy side effect of our bloated North American consumer culture. The Ashcroft resolution notes

be traced to their location with any precision, creating time-consuming searches that weaken response to real emergencies. Last year ’s convention featured the low comedy of delegates voting with wireless devices to condemn smart meters, after displaying their ignorance of the subject. This year, in addition to factually challenged railing about oil tankers, there will be a tough stance taken against shark’s fin soup, which will no doubt strike fear into the Chinese fishing fleet. Once delegates vote themselves more taxpayers’ money to run this show, perhaps they should keep their grandstanding to a minimum.

Vandalism costs, but racist vandalism hurts. Summerland is seeing a new batch of spray painted vandalism, some of it with racist messages. The spray painting has been seen in the area of Solly Road and MacDonald Street as well as around Summerland Secondary School. The spray paint damages property and costs money to clean up. The ugly messages hurt people. If you know who is doing this, contact the Summerland police.

Wharton proposal lacks concensus Dear Editor: The finer print of the Wharton street proposal in Summerland. The details Ken

Ostraat referred to in the May issues of the Summerland Review are not there, but a perusal of the agreement signed recently

between the developer and the city adds a little more perspective. The proposal consists of a number of

tall and uninspiring buildings that will include a 6,000 square foot room on the main floor which the city is proposing to

use as a museum, and an 8,000 square foot room located on the second level which the city is proposing to use as a commun-

THE EARLY YEARS

Hold your breath and close your eyes

We’ve learned a few things about spraying since this picture was taken over 80 years ago. If you’d like a closer look at how they did it back then, drop by the Summerland Museum. We now have a beautifully restored sprayer like this one on display in front of our building, as well as a democrat (a horse-drawn buggy, not a politician) parked by our door, and an impressive vintage bell. There’s a lot to see outside and inside the museum. By the way, starting on Sept. 15, we’re back to our fall/winter hours of 1 to 4 p.m., Wednesday to Saturday. Come in and spend an afternoon in the past.

Drunk driving should have consequences Dear Editor, Last week’s police report contained a brief article about a young motorist being stopped for driving while intoxicated. Despite having a blood-alcohol level over four times the legal limit, she was only given a 12-hour suspension. This was a new licensee who supposedly is not to have any alcohol at all while driving.

Driving is a privilege; it is about following the rules and regulations that make it safe for everyone to be on the road. If so early in her driving career she is already believing that the laws don’t apply to her and when she does get caught the only punishment is a minor inconvenience, what is that leading her to believe? If she had run over a pedestrian or hit another car, would the victim’s inconvenience

have been so minor? If our province truly wants people to take drinking and driving seriously, then seriously charge those who think the laws do not apply to them. Her licence should have been taken away for a few years until she figured out that there are consequences to drinking and driving. Anna Bookelaar Summerland

ity hall and convention facility. The term “cultural centre” is a bit of a misnomer. Both rooms have four walls, a level floor, and there will be no theater and no seats. The rooms could be used for any purpose, including conventional retail space. Equity and security also needs closer scrutiny. Will an $850,000 progressive covenant for a $5.9 million project guarantee completion? The library is part of the Okanagan Regional Library system, which is a separate public entity, complete with financing and governance, and is free to make any arrangements to build, buy, or lease required space anywhere in our community. To allow the museum and convention centre to be slotted into a strip mall environment is an incredible loss of opportunity to define our downtown. Combining those cultural components with commercial tenants deprives the citizens the opportunity to own a free standing facility that properly reflects our cultural identity. It

also defies economic sense. At a glance it may look like Summerland is getting a free museum and a convention centre. In reality these facilities representsome enormous costs, including the land with an assessed value of about $2.9 million. The developer will get the land that would have continued to appreciate in value, and the citizens will own two strata title properties that will only depreciate with age. The bigger cost is the fact that it will deny Summerland the opportunity to have a free standing cultural facility for literally decades. An example of what we should aspire to build is the public library on Ellis Street in Kelowna, a pleasing architectural achievement, something the citizens can be truly proud of. The support of 91 people out of a population of about 11,000 is not an overwhelming endorsement. A project of this magnitude needs the consensus of the whole community. Where was that ballot? Andy Thomsen Summerland

Athlete appreciates support on journey to Olympics Dear Editor: I would like to thank Summerland community for their continuing support in my Olympic journey. A new bobsleigh season is about to get underway and this will be my first year starting the season on the World Cup Circuit as a driver. This year the national team is without a major sponsor and we have been

individually actively fundraising in order to be able to compete. I have not yet quite reached my goal but am getting there and wouldn’t even be close without my hometown support. In particular I would like to thank Summerland Pharmasave who is a Bronze Level sponsor. Felicity and Bernd Stahl have taken a

personal interest in my journey and I really appreciate their support. Not only have they given me financial support towards my team fees but they have also bought all their staff Team Kripps T-shirts to wear on race days, and are also selling the shirts for me at Pharmasave. Other businesses I would like to thank for supporting the

T-shirt fundraiser and buying the shirts for their staff are Summerland Dental Centre, Summerland Builders Mart, Johnston Goodrich The Law Office, Keller’s Cellar, Summerland Rental Centre, BMO, and the Summerland Credit Union. I would also like to acknowledge the support of SADI, thanks to Connie Denesiuk and the SADI volunteers

who will be holding a hot dog and T-shirt sale fundraiser for me on Saturday Sept. 15 from 11 a.m. on outside Nesters. Thanks also to Nesters, Summerland Rotary Club and the Source who are all helping out with the fundraiser. And of course many thanks to all the individuals who have bought the Team Kripps T-shirts

and continue to support me. This year the World Cup races will be televised on Sportsnet and livestreamed at www.fibt.com. I also plan to keep an updated blog on my website www. justinkripps.ca.; and I try to respond to any messages sent to me at my facebook page justinkripps. I will be heading to Calgary in the middle of September where

the season begins, training, selection races, more training in Whistler and then the first World Cup race in Lake Placid Nov. 8 to 10. I am excited and ready to get there. I will continue to do my best and make my hometown proud. Justin Kripps 2010 Olympic Bobsledder and 2014 Olympic hopeful Summerland

Neighbours, strangers helped at fire Dear Editor: We would like to take this opportunity to thank some people. Our dad, Richard, lost his home in a fire Wednesday, Sept. 5. Thank you so very much to his neighbours and strangers who pulled him to

safety. Thank you to the Summerland fire department for being so gentle with his sweet dog, Brandy, when you brought her to us; to the SPCA for the care package for Chilco who lost his friend; to the Grooveyard for the

clothes for dad (love the sweater). Thank you to Critteraid; we will bring Dad in once he feels better. Thank you to the Facebook networking of my sister Lisa; we have received some clothes, household items and a couple

halters for the full sized horses. We have a very special thank you to a few people: To our beautiful maple tree neighbor, thank you so very much for all your help; you have been amazing. To our hilltop

neighbor, thank you for taking dad in. It means so much knowing he is well looked after. To Jenny’s mom and dad, thank you for always watching out for Dad. If it hadn’t been for these three neighbors, we may have

lost more than sweet Brandy and Peaches the cat. This tragedy has been very difficult; however, with the help of a few strangers and neighbors, it has been made a bit better. We send out our heartfelt thank you

to everyone who has helped us, even from as far away as the United States. Thank you so very much. Jim, Liam, Alec, Lisa, Kaytlyn, James, Cindy, Sarah, Dallas, Richard and Chilco Davis Summerland

Wharton development should be affordable housing Dear Editor: In my opinion, the development described for Wharton Street (five-storey building) is not the proper use of this downtown property. We have talented young people in Summerland who could

design a structure to combine the museum and library together where they are and it would be a suitable and high functioning building for years. The property in question should accommodate affordable housing which is

so badly needed in Summerland. Approximately 148 people are waiting for this type of housing and downtown is the best location within walking distance of stores and shops. We don’t need a lot of space, 600 square

feet (sound proof) with a six foot by six foot balcony and a three foot by six foot plot to grow a garden is perfect. I have other concerns. I heard from a source that our beautiful park may be downsized. It appears the space will be for parking. This is a horrible plan. Is this connected to the Wharton Street development? In my opinion, not a good idea at all. Another concern is the swimming pool.

The Aquatic Centre has evening and daytime exercise programs available and if people are not interested in these programs, maybe the pool will have to close. This would be a disaster. The swimming exercises changed my life. I learned to swim. Summerland can be very proud of the lifeguards at the pool. They are highly trained and deserve gold medals. The summer program was fantastic.

Everyone had fun and enjoyed the different themes each night. Swim exercise programs are very easy on the body. The exercises are fun and you work at your own pace. A number of adults swim in the evenings. It’s very healthy. I certainly would not like to see the pool shut down for lack of attendance in the various exercise programs. Summerland is a wonderful place to live.

There are a lot of changes occurring. We, the people, need to voice our opinions concerning the changes. I urge residents to speak up because sometimes that is all someone else might need to hear or see and feel compelled to say something. I remember people from the past speaking out about changes and it affected my thought. The freedom to speak is powerful. S. Hackl Summerland

Fall fair again a big success Dear Editor: Kudos to Connie Davis, the board of directors and the many volunteers who made the 103rd

Summerland Fall Fair such a huge success. We are fortunate to have such dedicated individuals, businesses and non-

profit groups in our community who work collaboratively to ensure that this two-day event offers something for every-

one. Great job, everyone. I look forward to next year. Lisa Scott Summerland

Perrino seeking Liberal candidacy Another candidate has entered the race for the Liberal candidacy in the Penticton riding. On Monday, Janice

Perrino put her name forward. “This has been a decision that I’ve thought about a great deal and real-

ized this is an opportunity that rarely comes along,” she said. “I have always admired the work and success of our

two MLAs, Rick Thorpe and Bill Barisoff, and the BC Liberal party. I realize that what interests me the most is the opportunity to work with a strong team and help the party revitalize itself.” Perrino is in her second term as mayor of Summerland and she has also been a Summerland municipal councillor. She works as the

director of the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation and during the past seven years has helped to raise more than $15 million for medical equipment purchases. She said her goal if elected to serve as MLA for the riding would be to ensure the communities in the riding are treated fairly. “I will make sure

we work with the province to have our fair share of funding opportunities a n d Janice g r a n t s Perrino for infrastructure projects,” she said. “In particular, funding for our new hospital expansion

that is desperately needed and long overdue must be secured.” At present, Perrino is the third declared nominee. The others are Connie Denesiuk and Mark Ziebarth. On Oct. 20, Liberal party members in the riding will select the candidate to represent the party in the next provincial election.

Funds to help children Paul Barber of the Summerland Rotary Club, at right, presents a cheque to members of the Cops for Kids cycling team on Friday afternoon as the cyclists stopped in Summerland. Rotary presented the riders with $300 while Penny Lane Bargain Outlet presented $500. A total of 22 cyclists and five support people, all from the RCMP and supporting enforcement agencies, are participating in this year’s ride. During the 10-day ride, participants will cycle into 18 communities in southeastern British Columbia as they raise money for children in need. For information about the journey or to make a donation, please visit copsforkids.org.

Wildfire destroys Peachland homes Three homes in Peachland and an abandoned home in the Central Okanagan West Electoral Area were destroyed by the Trepanier Forest Fire. The fire, which started on Sunday afternoon, grew to cover 200 hectares. Approximately 1,550 people from Peachland were evacuated, with another 432 placed on evacuation alert. Firefighters from neighbouring fire departments, including Summerland, responded to the blaze. In addition, B.C. Forestry crews attended.

Approximately 65 structural firefighters and 70 firefighters from the B.C. Wildfire Management Branch attended. On Monday evening, around 1,134 residents who had been evacuated were allowed to return home as the evacuation order was reclassified to an evacuation alert. Mayor Janice Perrino said Summerland provided assistance during the wildfire. In addition to firefighters who were in Peachland to battle the blaze, Alida Erickson and John Topham set up the Emergency Social Services centre

at the Summerland Arena. Along with Dale Kronebusch from the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen, they organized around 25 volunteers and helped to place almost 200 families into hotels in Summerland and Penticton. “Everyone worked as a team,” Perrino said. “They were organized and calm. They had about an hour to get ready and this was their first major fire event to handle.” Food, drinks and snacks were contributed by Nesters, True Grain Breads and Murray’s Pizza.

Predatory Marriages

If you read the above headline and are somewhat confused by what it means, you are not alone. Predatory marriages is a phrase now being used to describe a situation which has likely existed for years but is becoming increasingly common in the US and Canada. It describes the situation where one person, generally very elderly and weakened by illness, is taken advantage of by another, younger person. The goal of the younger person, of course, is to obtain the assets of the elder. This is accomplished by the marriage of the two. Provincial legislation and the Common Law is set up to protect people from undue influence in the creation of their wills, however a marriage automatically revokes any prior existing wills and therefore lets the perpetrator make a claim under the Intestate succession legislation of the Province.

@MrCartridge

Sometimes we are not so lucky! I often see decay under an old cracked filling that reaches the middle of the tooth where the pulp is, which means I need to do a root canal before the crown. Sometimes, the crack is so deep or such a large portion of the tooth cracks off that there is not enough tooth left to work with. These are hard situations where I have to discuss removing the tooth. No one likes surgery or the costs involved in tooth replacement. Prevention is always a more convenient and cost-effective solution than waiting for something to break (if you want to keep your teeth). We’re here to help in any way we can. Feel free to call, drop in, or send us an e-mail message. We are always accepting new patients. Have a great week!

Silver fillings can last a long time. Actually, they can last longer than your teeth. What I see most often is patients coming in with broken teeth where the old silver filling is still in place. The reason the tooth broke was because the silver filling has expanded inside your tooth over the years which caused your tooth to crack. The cracks are the real problem for your tooth. These cracks provide openings for bacteria to get underneath the silver filling and damage the tooth where you cannot brush. If the cracks are unnoticed, or left untreated, the decay can be very deep which causes your tooth to be sensitive and may require root canal treatment. As you can imagine, the cracks in your tooth can also cause it to weaken and break off. Most of the patients I see don’t have the piece that broke off, it usually goes down with the sandwich they were eating. If the tooth breaks above the gum line, often we can save the tooth by covering it with a crown.

Efforts made to retain businesses Through the summer months we have been using this column to share information about what the Chamber of Commerce is doing in Summerland. Today I am writing about the Chamber’s work in helping to retain our existing businesses and encouraging more businesses to open in our town. First, the Chamber is working to create a comprehensive business information package. We want to make sure that when business inquiries come in to the chamber or to the district that we have information available that people need. In the best examples of this type of package, this information covers two distinct areas: the informa-

tion that people need to live here and the information needed to do business or invest here. Information about living here includes family related decision making factors — things like housing costs, climate, transportation, recreation, service clubs, our great local schools, hospitals, churches, etc. Information about investing and doing business here includes things like our population and demographics, community infrastructure, industrial and commercial land availability, major employers, major sectors in our economy and business licensing and taxes. Secondly, we are promoting networking in specific sectors where we would like to see growth.

Ribbon cutting

Members of council assisted in cutting the ribbon to officially open True Grain Bread on Saturday. From left are Mayor Janice Perrino, Coun. Orv Robson, owner Todd Laidlaw, Coun. Lloyd Christopherson and Bruce Stewart of True Grain Bread. The bakery specializes in hand crafted, on-site milled grain and signature loaves free of modern grains. In conjunction with the opening, the bakery also held prize draws. Ashleigh Ryane and Olga Krylyshki each received a grand prize of a loaf of bread every day the bakery is open for a year. Winners of a gift basket worth $50 are Lisa Cheswick, Vivienne Nelson, Pete Killick, T. Davies, Bonnie Cazorla, Janet Baschzok, Norma Coleman, Cecilia McHugh, Sue Nelson and Jamie Jordan. Winners of a $25 gift certificate are Anna Allen, Miles Weatherhead, Ana Clouatre, Alyce Karr, Celena Ulledal, Brielle Gorcak, Fern Rea, Mark Wilband, Dave Bolton and Oscar Strafehl.

CHAMBER CORNER

Arlene Fenrich An example is the technology sector. This is an area where growth is occurring in the region and we would like to encourage more technology companies to consider Summerland. On Sept. 21 the Chamber is hosting a morning presentation with Accelerate Okanagan — a regional technology development organization that is working to grow this sector in the Okanagan.

We want to make sure our Summerland businesses have every opportunity to learn about and connect with this sector. Third, and building on my previous point, we are developing partnerships with other organizations that can provide our members with specific expertise and/or funding. Examples of this are organizations such as the Summerland Credit Union who provide a unique Capital Fund opportunity to eligible businesses looking to expand or move to Summerland and create local jobs. Other groups in the region are Community Futures with their Economic Gardening Program and Work BC with specific programs that can assist businesses with subsidies to hire new

staff. Lastly, the Summerland Chamber continues to actively promote Summerland as a place to do business. We do this through newspaper articles in local, regional and provincial publications, through social media and our website, through putting our community forward for provincial awards and through

innovative projects that put Summerland in view. We want to ask our membership to also pitch in on this last point. If you are an active blogger, tweeter or Facebook user, please use your voice to promote the best of Summerland and let people know this is the best community in BC in which to invest and live. We always appre-

ciate your feedback. Please contact me at president@summerlandchamber.com or Christine Petkau at manager@summerlandchamber.com. Arlene Fenrich is President of the Summerland Chamber of Economic Development and Tourism and the owner of Edgy Petals. All of the members of the Board of Directors serve as volunteers.

Putting an end to violence against women By this time next week the House of Commons will have again resumed session and I will be back in Ottawa for 10 of the next 12 weeks and the next major break in late December. Over the next few months I will make every effort to report on the latest events occurring in Ottawa to help keep the citizens of Okanagan-Coquihalla informed. There is also a fair amount of information that I have gathered from my summer listening tour that I will be sharing in Ottawa and following up on as well. It is important from my perspective that as Members of Parliament we share not just the challenges, but also the success that we have in our home ridings. From my perspective what can be a success story in one community or region can potentially help resolve challenges in another. One of the downsides of being back in Ottawa over the majority of the next few months is that it means that there will be a number of local events that I will not be able to participate in, one of those events is local “Take Back the Night” events that occur throughout a number of communities in OkanaganCoquihalla and elsewhere. During the past Parliamentary session I was the lone male member of the

OTTAWA REPORT

Dan Albas Parliamentary Committee on the Status of Women. During my time on this committee I became more familiar with some of the disturbing incidents of violence against women that still occur here in Canada. By the numbers between 2009 and 2010 over 64,000 women accessed services at women’s shelter. Further, looking back over the past decade it appears these numbers remain as a relative constant on a national level. Another area of concern is that younger women and particularly aboriginal women are more likely to encounter family violence and/ or domestic abuse situations. Sometimes spousal assault and domestic violence can be fatal as was the tragic case of Penticton resident Lynn Kalmring. Having met with the family I can speak firsthand of the sense of loss and trauma that these acts of vio-

lence leave on the loved one’s who are left behind. The Kalmring family has prepared a petition to support changes to the law that will better protect family victims of violence in the future and I would like to invite members of the public to stop in at my office to sign this petition if they are so inclined. I would like to present this petition to Parliament in early December to coincide with the national day of remembrance and action on violence against women. Physical, sexual or psychological harm that can also include intimidation, verbal abuse and threats should not be tolerated in any family household. A reminder for those interested in attending my office to sign the petition the address is #202 – 301 Main Street located in the Nanaimo Square Heritage building in downtown Penticton. This is the same address as my predecessor, the Hon. Stockwell Day. Likewise the telephone contact information also remains the same 250-7704480 or toll free at 1-800-655-8711.

Motors in Germany. It is powered by a 254 cubic inch engine. Knorr started working on the car in 2000 and took it to Utah in 2001.

Since that time, he and Kinney have been partners, working to improve the car and get a little more speed out of it. “We’ve been chas-

ing this record,” Kinney said. “Once you’re involved with something in the Salt, it gets into your blood. You just want to go faster.”

While Knorr and Kinney now have the world record, they will continue to work with the car to make it faster. “We think there’s

a little bit left in this car,” Kinney said. He hopes to see a new record set next year, this time with Knorr behind the wheel.

“You’re doing over five kilometres a minute, so that’s motoring.” Frank Kinney competition at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah last month, Kinney attained speeds of 210 miles an hour and 208 miles an hour, for an average of 208.974 miles an hour.

Ready for another recreation season I always find this time of the year interesting with the kids going back to school, our aquatic centre shutdown now behind us and we are ready for another season in the arena and curling rink. This is the time of year when many people get back into the gym or register for a fall program. For others it may be getting in as many golf games as possible while they still can. If you are like me, you

are hoping we have a warm September so we can swim in the lake just a little bit longer. September is also the time of year when students are heading back to university after working for the summer. The Parks and Recreation Department has worked with the Summerland Youth Centre for over 20 years offering the Summer Day-camp and Playground programs.

SCOREBOARD

During this time we have had the opportunity to employ a number of University Students to act as the Program Co-coordinator for the summer programs. The most recent co-coordinator, Brea Ratzlaff, has held this position for the past three summers and has done an amazing job during that time. Brea is now looking forward to university graduation this year so will be moving on in the world and with her drive, talent and intelligence will surely be a great success. Over the 20 years of

offering the Summer Programs we have been very fortunate to work with a long list of very talented individuals who have also gone on to do great things. Past program coordinators include Sarah Pickett who now holds a university degree and is attending Medical School. The Bell twins, Brittney and Lauren who have gone on to become teachers. Julia MacDonald, now a mechanical engineer in Calgary. Joanna Wicket, a mother and an airline pilot. Jenny Bergstrom, a mother of two children, liv-

ing in Summerland and teaching in Penticton at Princess Margaret Secondary. Kaley McPhedran, who after accepting a softball scholarship to Wisconsin has returned to Canada and is now a high school counselor for the Delta school district. Going back to the 90s, Kristi Fenwick who has carried on in the recreation field as a Recreational Programmer in West Kelowna and is also now a mother, Lisa Halquist a mother and popular personal trainer in Summerland. I would be

LEISURE TIMES

Dale MacDonald remiss if I didn’t mention James Mayne, our only male coordinator who after an initial career in underwater welding is now a father and chiropractor in Ver-

non. What a privilege it has been to work with this amazing list of quality individuals who have contributed to making our Summer Programs such a success. All have gone on to do “bigger and better� things but at one time called Summerland home.

June Jeanette Hill

June 8, 1929 - August 29, 2012 Les passed away at home with his wife by his side. Survived by his wife Shirley, sister Anne Longworth, nephews Howard (Penny), Milton (Wendy), nieces Caroline (Riess) and Sharilynn, numerous great nieces and nephews, also great great nieces and nephews, numerous cousins, sisters in-law and brothers in-law as well as Shirley’s two sons Dan (Donna) Rallie, Bruce (Susan) Rallie and their families. He was predeceased by his father Frank, mother Agnes, brother in-law Milton. His father in-law and mother in-law. A sister in-law and a brother in-law, cousins, aunts and uncles. Les was born on a farm near Condie, Saskatchewan. He lived in the Okanagan of British Columbia for a short time as a young man, with parents and sister. Moving back to Saskatchewan where he farmed along side his father until his fathers retirement. Then he took up upholstery which he worked at until his retirement, moving back to the Okanagan, to the warmer winters, which he enjoyed. Working in his garden and growing flowers, was his passion. He grew such nice flowers that his wife was able to enter them into the Garden Club Flower Show with which she won several prizes. His wishes were to have no service. Cremation with burial ashes at New Finland Cemetery in Saskatchewan will be at a later date. Memorial tributes may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com.

Passed away peacefully in her 93rd year at home in Summerland, BC September 7th, 2012. June is survived by her son David (Pat), daughter Jeanette Hesla (Terry), son Stewart (Lynne) nine grandchildren, two great grandchildren, her sisters Pat Lowry and Shirley Wejr. June was predeceased by her husband Doug and her brother Dwaine. “Granny� led a long and colourful life; she was a true BC Pioneer. Her early years were spent in the Valemont and Bridge River areas under very rustic and challenging conditions. She married Doug in 1943; in 1946 after he returned from overseas they settled in Naramata, BC. In 1955 after purchasing White & Thornthwaite Trucking they moved to Summerland operating under the name of D.H. Hill & Co. Trucking then amalgamated with Smith and Henry Trucking that became Smith & Hill Trucking, both became involved in the community in a variety of ways. June was an avid gardener; she won many ribbons and awards for her beautiful flower arrangements, an interest in crafts of all types kept her busy when winter prevented her from being outside in her yard. The family would like to thank Dr. Kyle Stevens and the IHA Home Care Support staff that attended to mom during the past year. A private family interment will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, monetary donations can be made to the Summerland Health-Care Auxiliary Thrift Shop in her memory. Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com.

Jaffe to volunteer with street children As Emma Jaffe has left to spend eight months travelling around the world, she will spend some

of her time in volunteer work. Jaffe, who has completed her first year in international

development studies at McGill University, left on Wednesday. “Travelling will help broaden my per-

spective,” she said. “I definitely think I’ll learn a lot.” In Delhi, India, she will stay with

a host family and spend three weeks working with street children. The volunteer

work is through International Volunteer H e a d quarters. This is not Jaffe’s Emma first interJaffe national experience. When she was in Grade 11, she was an exchange student in Costa Rica through Education First.

“I think it’s something I’ll be doing for the rest of my life,” she said of international travel. While she is away, she also hopes to work with children or at orphanages in Peru or Ecuador. She is asking anyone with information on other international volunteer organizations to contact her at Emma.Jaffe@hotmail. com.
