John Arendt Summerland Review

Christena Tonge of the Summerland Pleasure Painters works on a painting during a recent Friday session. Beginning in November, the painters will meet Fridays in the Harold Simpson Memorial Youth Centre.

Cells vacant as prisoners housed in Penticton cells by John Arent Summerland’s newly opened RCMP station has three prison cells, but they have not been occupied since the detachment opened in July. Cpl. Bruce Haley of the Summerland RCMP detachment said Summerland has not housed prisoners in its

cells since 2005. Earlier, when the police were still operating out of the building on Jubilee Road West, the cells were condemned and could no longer be used for prisoners. While the new cells are good, Haley said the cost of staffing must be considered. “The cost of housing prisoners in Penticton is cheaper

than hiring guards,” he said. If prisoners are arrested during the day, they are held for a court appearance. These arrested at night, often for alcohol-related offences, are taken to cells until they sober up. For Summerland to house prisoners, at least half a dozen guards would be needed, he said.

Greyhound is planning cuts to its service between Kelowna and Penticton. “There is not enough ridership to support the amount of service that’s out there,” said Grant Odsen, Greyhound’s regional manager of passenger service for British Columbia. At present, Greyhound offers four buses each direction each day. The 12:15 p.m. bus from Penticton to Kelowna averages just 3.9 passengers each trip, far short of the bus’s capacity of 54 passengers. The highest passenger load, on the 10:15 a.m. bus from Kelowna to Penticton, is an average of 11.8 passengers. “It’s been that way for quite some time,” Odsen said. Greyhound’s proposed changes would reduce the number of buses to two each day in each direction. From Kelowna, buses would leave at 8:30 a.m. and 8 p.m. while Penticton buses would leave at 7:30 and 10 a.m. Odsen said the details of the schedule have not yet been finalized. “It’s difficult to forecast what the schedule will look like,” he said. Before the bus changes are approved, the bus line needs approval from the Passenger Transportation Board. Mayor Janice Perrino said Summerland needs the service, especially since a regional transit is not yet in place. “This is not a time to be cutting service when we don’t have B.C. Transit,” she said. “Until we have the transit service in place, don’t reduce our services now.” The municipality has been speaking with B.C. Transit about getting a regional service, but so far the service is not in place. “Until we get transit, we’re not going to have enough freedom of movement,” said Coun. Peter Waterman. “This cut puts Summerland in more of a straightjacket than it already is in.” Coun. Orv Robson said bus transportation is not yet popular within the community. “There’s got to be a whole mindset change before people start using public transportation,” he said. Municipal council will write a letter to Greyhound, urging the bus line to leave the service as it is.

EDITORIAL

our pick

Regional movement For those who do not drive, transportation in the South Okanagan is about to become even less convenient than at present. Greyhound Canada is planning to cut its service between Kelowna and Penticton from four trips to two in each direction each day. The reason for the cut is because of the low number of passengers. Kelowna’s bus terminal is the ninth busiest in Canada, but the route from Kelowna to Penticton does not have a lot of passengers. Greyhound’s buses can carry 54 people, but the buses which pass through Summerland seldom carry anywhere near that number. Still, the service provides an important transportation link for some in our community and in our region. For a variety of reasons, not everyone in Summerland is able to drive, yet all of us will, from time to time, need to go to Penticton or Kelowna since some services and businesses are not available here. As fuel prices continue to rise, as they have done in the past, alternatives to driving will look increasingly attractive to motorists. Over the past several years, the municipality has been working to bring a regional transit service which would connect Summerland and Penticton. Plans to connect Summerland with Kelowna have also been discussed. This service still has not become a reality. Mayor Janice Perrino has said a regional transit service could be a reality in a year’s time, but until then, a link is still needed between Summerland and other Okanagan communities. So far, Greyhound has been providing the service that a regional transit route will eventually offer. Reducing the number of buses will be extremely inconvenient to those who need the service the most.

Education is expensive but bursaries offered through the Summerland Credit Union will help to ease the financial burden for some Summerland students. In the past, the Credit Union had offered three bursaries a year. This year, that number has been increased to 10. The additional bursaries will help a few more students achieve their educational goals.

Attack of the U.S. celebrities VICTORIA – There was palpable disappointment among reporters when Greenpeace organizers clarified that U.S. actors Daryl Hannah and Mark Ruffalo weren’t actually going to join the sit-in against heavy oil pipeline proposals at the B.C. legislature on Monday. I was disappointed too. I would have liked to learn more about what a washed- Tom Fletcher up mermaid and an easily confused Incredible Hulk really believe about the North American oil industry. In the spirit of celebrity slacktivism, both sent statements of support. To be fair, Ruffalo may still be busy searching for the “truth” about 9/11. In 2007 he declared that the official U.S. government report on the terrorist attacks was “completely illegitimate” because “buildings don’t fall down like that.” I wonder what the relatives of those aboard the hijacked airliners think of him. Hannah has had lots of free time since starring in the 1984 mermaid fantasy Splash. Now she’s mostly famous for getting arrested, and she did so again in Texas on Oct. 3, standing in front of earthmoving equipment building the southern section of the Keystone XL pipeline. It’s worth noting that the project Hannah tried to stop has the support of the Barack Obama administration. The southern section from Cushing, Oklahoma oil storage facilities

to Texas refineries is indeed being built by the sinister foreign TransCanada Corp., but it doesn’t carry the dreaded Canadian “tar sands” oil that ecocelebrities are convinced will end life on Earth as we know it. It’s the northern section that Obama has temporarily opposed, after fervent demonstrations such as the one in Washington DC where Hannah’s first celebrity arrest occurred in 2011. At that time, Hannah recited the familiar talking points of

David Suzuki featuring jet-set movie director James Cameron. George describes how this allegation was made in 2006 by a doctor who claimed a cluster of rare bile cancer cases in the remote village of Fort Chipewyan, and blamed it on oil sands mining. Headlines blared around the world. George details the Alberta Health Services study that followed, identifying three such cases in 12 years. Statistically higher, yes. A general risk, no. Other types of cancer in Fort

I would have liked to learn more about what a washed-up mermaid and an easily confused Incredible Hulk really believe about the North American oil industry. the U.S. environmentalists who exclusively target Alberta. In a new book, oil sands pioneer and Suncor founder Rick George dissects Hannah’s claims, and asks why they were reported so widely and uncritically. Hannah claimed “the contribution to the carbon in the atmosphere is unprecedented.” George cites a Royal Society of Canada report that concludes the entire oil sands operation is responsible for five per cent of Canadian emissions. Fossilfuelled electricity generation is 16 per cent of Canada’s total. Vehicles and other transportation account for 27 per cent. Another Hannah quote: “I’ve been hearing about how many people have cancer that live downstream from the tar sands project.” Canadians heard that too, thanks in large part to an alarmist CBC documentary by

Chip were lower than the general population. This finding was endorsed by Australian, New Zealand, U.S. and Canadian researchers. The doctor who diagnosed the original bile cancers admitted: “These results were based on a small number of cases – there is no cause for alarm.” Was this news trumpeted around the world? You can guess the answer. My point here isn’t to make fun of ill-informed celebrities. It’s to counteract the fawning, scientifically ignorant coverage they are routinely given by the mainstream media. And I’m not promoting the oil sands or pipelines. I’m saying they should be considered based on facts, not foolishness. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

culls

Each year in fall, hungry bears in search of food are observed in the community. If these bears find food sources, such as garbage, they can become nuisances which must then be destroyed. The solution is simple. Make sure you do not have food sources left outside at your property. Dealing with a problem bear which has become accustomed to finding easy food sources in town is much more difficult than preventing a potential bear conflict.

Project to discuss seasonal farm help Dear Editor: Inspired by a variety of articles and letters to editors of local papers throughout South Okanagan Similkameen region and

over a decade of work with community organizations, citizens and seasonal farm workers, Penticton and Area Women’s Centre is working on a project

titled From Discord To Action: Cultivating Community Change Around Seasonal Farm Work. The project’s purpose is to bring the communities and

the farmers from the South Okanagan Similkameen region (from Summerland to Keremeos) together to discuss the issue of seasonal farm labour. By discussing all

The Early years

the related problems and sharing our best and worst experiences, we aim to design a workable action plan to enable the entire region to best address this challenge. As one region with developed action plan, South Okanagan Similkameen communities, acting together, would increase chances of receiving assistance

from any government agency. We are presently handing out survey questionnaires through the communities that would help us streamline the dialogue at the forum. Survey pamphlets and drop-in boxes can be found at the following locations: Keremeos – Visitor’s Centre Osoyoos – Town

Hall main lobby Oliver – Park Drive Church We are asking you to support PAWC and your community by participating at the all day Action Planning Forum on Nov. 20, 2012 or by becoming a sponsor of the event. Lilly Zekanovic project coordinator Penticton and Area Women’s Centre Penticton

Regarding “The Early Years” photo in the Oct. 18 edition, the man standing on the load of logs is my dad, George Dunsdon (second youngest of Harry “Pop” Dunsdon’s family of seven.)

Dad was the log sleigh driver for the family while the other boys did the falling and skidding. I recall riding on the logs with dad when I was about four or five years old, much against mom’s

wishes. It was quite a ride down the steep roads, as the horses sat back on their haunches to hold back the heavy load — a thrill I will never forget. Ron Dunsdon Penticton

Disguised as a totem pole, this young person walked the Fall Fair parade route in 1968. Creative as it is, the cardboard costume would not be very suitable for Halloween. Besides certain mobility and visual restraints, there’s no place to put treats. Make sure you have a place to carry lots of treats and have a safe and happy Halloween.

It would be greatly appreciated if the person who took my large Brute Grey Garbage Can with grey lid, secured with a bungy cord, return it. It unfortunately got blown out of position during the Tuesday windstorm and power outage. Upon asking our neighbours if they had seen it, it turns out that theirs is missing as well. It’s hard to believe that someone thinks that a garbage can lying on the side of the road during a windstorm is free for the taking. If it could be returned home to Kuroda Place and Giants Head Road it would be appreciated. Corinna and Barrie Drachenberg Summerland

Downed power lines

FortisBC crews worked to restore power on Oct. 16 after a tree, knocked over in a wind storm, struck the power line to the community. While power in Penticton was restored quickly, in Summerland the outage lasted almost eight hours.

Power failure shut down community Summerland has had long outages in past by John Arendt It was almost a day of lost business

as power to Summerland was off for close to eight hours last Tuesday. Power was out around 11:15 a.m. when a tree toppled in a wind storm,

downing power lines between Penticton and Summerland. Power in Penticton was restored quickly, but in Summerland, the power remained off until around 7 p.m. Tracy Tang, corporate communications advisor with FortisBC, said crews were able to quickly isolate the troubled section of the line and restore power to Penticton. For Summerland customers, the transmission line had to be repositioned and restored.

The transmission line feeds three substations. Each substation can power up to 2,000 customers. Tang said damage to lines as a result of strong winds can also result in damage to conductors and insulators, adding to the time it takes for repairs. Mayor Janice Perrino said the power outage was “excessively long.” “It was a loss of business and a tremendous inconvenience,” she said. Arlene Fenrich,

president of the Summerland Chamber of Economic Development and Tourism, said businesses were hit hard by the loss of power. “Unfortunately most businesses appeared to experience a loss of business for the day. Many stores and professional shops closed as soon as it was determined that the power would likely be out for some time. Being unable to receive calls, process card payments and operate required machin-

ery makes operating without power a major challenge for most,” she said. The power line along Highway 97 is the only line bringing electrical power into Summerland. With a second line in place, the effects of the outage would have been much less severe, but Ruth Sullentich, a communications advisor with FortisBC, said there are no plans to add another power line to the community. “We don’t think it’s necessary at this

time,” she said. She added that other smaller communities in the province have just one line supplying power. Summerland has had other lengthy power outages in the past. On Dec. 19, 2008, power in most of Summerland was out from 9:41 a.m. to after 4 p.m. when a transformer at the Prairie Valley substation failed. Perrino said the power failure last week was not a result of a transmitter failure.

Businesses affected by outage by Barbara Manning Grimm

October to May

Most Summerland businesses rely on electrical power and had to shut down for the day during last Tuesday’s outage. Medical and dental offices, lawyers and accountants, manufacturers and retail outlets were among those that had to close up shop. One exception was a pizza business. Ovens fuelled by natural gas and a portable electric generator kept Murray’s Pizza in business. In fact, Murray’s experienced an unprecedented boom in business during the long

power outage, according to owner operator Josh Roberts. “I am sure we fed half of Summerland,” he said. The natural gas ovens, used since the early 1980s, were

the key to staying open. A former pizza driver arrived with an electric generator that powered the dough press, the lights and the “open” sign. Other help came from the Murray’s store in Penticton

which supplied additional dough to keep up with the demand. “When the lights came on we had just a few doughs left,” said Roberts. Summerland Sweets also stayed open through the outage, serving people who were out looking for something to do, according to general manager Len Filek. No product was lost although there was no cooking done during the outage. Skylights in the warehouse enabled workers to continue working with their jobs. When the ice cream was

starting to get a little soft around 4 p.m., the business closed up shop. In many workplaces employees did what they could in spite of the outage. The staff at Nesters Market came in for praise from company president Dan Bregg. They stayed on the job and found useful work to do during the power outage. The store lost the nearly eight hours of sales, but no food product was lost as a result of the outage. Employees were getting ready to call it a day because of darkness when the power came back on.

Technology kept power on by John Arendt

Ask Ian McIntosh about the lengthy power outage last week and he will probably respond by asking, “What power outage?” Although the rest of the houses in Summerland were without power for almost eight hours on Oct. 16, McIntosh was able to keep the lights on. In January, McIntosh was the first person in Summerland to get Jai Zachary’s Revolution unit installed at his home. The prototype, from Zachary’s ElectroMotion Energy Corporation, combines hot water heating, space heating, air conditioning and backup electricity into one unit. Because energy is shared between the different systems, it is more efficient than running these systems separately. The power outage was the first time the system’s backup power had been put to the test. McIntosh said he was at his computer when the power failed.

His screen went dark, but at the time, he thought it was the result of a reboot to his computer. Other lights in the house continued to function. McIntosh said the Revolution unit does not power the entire house during a power outage, but certain circuits are protected. “You pick which things you want to run when the power goes off,” he said. While he will rework which circuits he wants to protect during a power failure, he said he was impressed with the system’s performance. “I’ve been waiting for the power to go off since I got the unit,” he said. Zachary said the Revolution unit does not just provide power when the electrical service fails; it also can generate excess electricity which is sold back to the electrical utility. “Ian’s unit has provided over 80 kilowatt hours to the grid,” he said.

The Summerland Credit Union has expanded the number of bursaries it hands out each year. Sandy Berry, a member of the Credit Union board, said this year the Credit Union will present five $1,000 bursaries to high school students graduating from Summerland Secondary School and five $1,000 adult bursaries to help students who are continuing their educational goals. Previously, the Credit Union gave out three bursaries

each year, two to high school students and one to an adult. The Credit Union also provides funds to the Gordon Beggs Memorial Bursary and the Credit Union Foundation of B.C. Okanagan College Bursary. Berry said the additional bursaries came about because of a need they saw in the community. “Based on the growing number of applications, the apparent need and especially the growth in applications for adult bursaries, the board of directors

decided to provide 10 bursaries,” he said. “We feel there is a real need for these bursaries.” Bursary applications are reviewed by the board bursary committee. The applicant must be an independent member of the Credit Union. Criteria include school service, community service, academic standing and financial need. Applicants must also present an essay about the

The high school bursaries are awarded in late June, at the high school graduation. The adult bursaries are awarded at the end of the year. The deadline for the adult bursaries is Dec. 1. The recipients

of the adult bursaries must be enrolled in a program at an accredited institution. The course of study can include university training, trades and technology or other programs. “It’s not limited to strictly academic pursuits,” he said.

Credit Union increases bursaries by John Arendt

The mint and gum samples we offer are 100% xylitol. Xylitol is a naturally occurring sweetener that has been found to have huge benefits for your teeth. It works because the bacteria in your mouth that cause dental decay cannot metabolize xylitol, so the more xylitol you use per day, the lower the number of bacteria, which means less decay for you. It also makes the surfaces of your teeth smoother preventing the bacteria from sticking on them and gives you more saliva to help protect your teeth. The people that can really benefit from xylitol are those with a high risk for tooth decay, like patients with dry mouth, diabetes, root exposure (recession), kids, and new moms. Using xylitol throughout the day will lower your risk for decay. Studies show that new moms who chewed xylitol gum for the first 2 years drastically lowered their child’s risk for decay. That is a great staring point in life for your child! Xylitol products include mints, gum, mouth spray, lollipops, toothpaste, and mouth rinses. It needs to be 100% xylitol to be therapeutic so make sure to look closely at the label. If you have any questions about choosing the right product, we are more than happy to help. We’re here to help in any way we can. Feel free to call, stop by, or send us an e-mail message.

Camp board applies for ALR exclusion Black Press

As Summerland’s special camp for disabled children inches its way towards completion, regulatory work continues behind the scenes. The Agur Lake Camp Society, which is building a barrierfree, outdoor paradise in the wilderness near Summerland, has applied to have its main leased property excluded from the Agricultural Land Reserve. That application was sent to the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen board this month for comments. A smaller, adjacent property that is under lease from Robin Agur was removed from the ALR in 2005. The commission noted its limited potential for agricultural use because of

Few attend open house

A proposed industrial area in the Bentley Road area attracted little attention last week. On Thursday, the municipality held an open house from 4 to 7 p.m. Municipal planner Julie McGuire said of the 22 people who attended, nine filled out questionnaires, with seven in support and two against. There were no changes suggested. The proposal must now go to the Agricultural Land Commission and the provincial Ministry of Transportation before it returns to the municipal council table. The open house on Thursday was the second time the municipality has presented information to the public on the proposed industrial area. The first open house, held several months ago, drew 34 people.

its rough topography and high altitude. Allan Patton, the RDOS director for rural Oliver, said he was concerned that the 11.6 hectares of Crown land under the camp and subject to the most recent exclusion application is improperly zoned as a resource area. “Resource area means there’s lot of allowable uses other than this camp, and I would like this area to be specific to this camp,” said Patton, who also worried that once the 99-year lease on the land expires, it could be put to some other use. RDOS Director Michael Brydon, whose area includes Agur Lake, told the board that the resource designation is fairly restrictive. Other allowed uses, he noted, include a golf course, animal

hospital and one single-family dwelling. “There’s nothing really here that... raised any red flags to me,” Brydon said. Patton concluded there are different allowable uses for resources areas in different parts of the RDOS and dropped his objection. “I’m totally in favour of this whole operation... I’m just saying I’d like to have the zoning reflect what the use is,” he said. Brydon asked the board to refer the application to his area’s advisory planning commission, which will study the matter and then make a recommendation to the board and the ALC. “I think (the committee) will look upon it favourably and it will be one more piece of community input going to

the ALC to move this along,” Brydon said. After the meeting, he explained that the camp society previously applied to have the site designated for non-farm use as a stop-gap measure to allow work to begin on the cabins. “But full exclusion from the ALR is a preferred outcome since it reflects the actual use of the land and will significantly reduce the administrative burden on the (volunteer) society as they work towards their vision for the facility,” said Brydon, who noted that there is a risk the ALC will not approve the application. The camp, which now boasts two barrier-free cabins and trails around the lake, is expected to welcome its first guests next summer.

Enjoying the barrier free trails, designed for people with special needs, at the Agur Lake Camp is Doug Janke along with his care giver Susan White.

Teleworkshop provides information on dementias A teleworkshop will be held today for families coping with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Already one in 11 Canadians over 65 lives with the diseases. And since age is the highest risk factor, that number is expected to soar as the population continues to get older. Families can get the latest information, without even leaving their homes during an Update on Dementia Research teleworkshop being offered on Thursday, Oct. 25 by the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. Vancouver geriatrician Dr. Philip Lee will explain how research advancements might translate into clinical care for local residents. “We are beginning, more and more, to understand how the disease doesn’t just present itself at times of first symptom onset. There’s a whole process that’s occurring in the background,” he says. “We may be able to make the diagnosis earlier and earlier, and potentially in individuals before they have symptoms. To intervene at that point would be desirable so that hopefully we can even prevent — in

the future — the condition from actually worsening.” Lee contributes to research but also works with patients at UBC’s Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Clinic as well as St. Paul’s Hospital Department of Geriatric Medicine. “The largest proportion of what I do is see patients,” he says. “That is part of what drives my passion for the research, because ultimately, I can also see the impact that it has on treating the patients and the family members we have the privilege of interacting with.” The Update on Dementia Research teleworkshop runs from 7 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 25. Residents can access it via telephone, with optional online slides. Advance registration is not necessary. A few minutes before the session, participants simply dial tollfree 1-866-994-7745, then enter the pass code of 1122333.

Cylinder deactivation saves fuel (NC)— Think of the power it takes to accelerate uphill or haul a trailer. Your vehicle needs power from all of its cylinders in order to get the job done. However, cruising along on a straight and level road is another story altogether. With only a light load it is possible to shut down some of the cylinders. This temporarily turns an eight- or six-cylinder engine into a four- or three-cylinder engine.

What does this mean to you? Cylinder deactivation effectively shrinks engine size, thus reducing fuel consumption by about six per cent. Over 10 years, this could result in a fuel cost savings of about $1,400 and carbon dioxide (CO2) reductions of about 2,800 kg.

Thursday, October 25, 2012 Summerland Review

Summerland is small business friendly At the start of Small Business Week in B.C., Summerland made headlines in the Okanagan Valley and throughout the Province when the Chamber of Commerce unveiled BC’s first Highway WiFi hotspot. Adjectives we were reading about Summerland included ‘cool’ and ‘innovative’ with suggestions that other communities should follow our lead. The reality is that Summerland has been doing a lot of things right in the past year and more. The Chamber of Commerce and staff from the District of Summerland put our heads together in August to itemize some of the activity. Here’s a rundown: Strong Business Partnerships – The

Chamber of Commerce and the District of Summerland actively work together to welcome businesses to Summerland. Summerland is home to an initiative that is unique in the province of British Columbia. Every business that takes out a license in our community automatically has a membership in the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber works to market the community of Summerland and serve their membership through support, education, promotion and advocacy. This automatic membership is a tremendous value to new businesses as well as existing businesses. Another strong business partner in

our community is the Summerland Credit Union whose $500,000 Capital Fund helps create jobs and boost the Summerland economy. Since the fall more than a dozen new jobs have been created with the help of this fund. Expanded Industrial Park Land – Summerland requires additional industrial land to attract new business and support future growth. The recent conditional exclusion of 7.2 hectares of land from the ALR, for industrial purposes, and adjacent to the existing industrial park at Bentley Road, will be a significant expansion. The existing timeline suggests spring of 2013 for the approval and implementation of this

plan. E c o n o m i c Development Plans – The District of Summerland commissioned an extensive economic development review in the fall of 2009. What resulted was a report which had input from approximately 225 individuals and stakeholders. Many of the recommended strategies have been completed such as the creation of the Economic Development Committee, some have been initiated, and some are well under way. Partner groups such as the Chamber of Commerce are also responsible for components of the plan.  Climate Action

Policies – A variety of Climate Action targets, objectives and policies exist in the Official Community Plan. These include a proposal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, densification in the downtown core, green certification for businesses, electric vehicle charging stations downtown and various initiatives to support green tourism.  Efforts to reduce regulatory barriers and make it easier for businesses to operate across jurisdictions are also underway.  The above items indicate good progress in making Summerland small business friendly.   Are we entirely

Chamber Corner

Arlene Fenrich there? No. Important areas still need to be addressed such as putting policies in place to change or balance the ratio of commercial property tax to residential property tax. Additionally, the Chamber and the District of Summerland need to work together to help new or exist-

ing small businesses get the information and assistance they need via up-to-date business information.  So, Summerland, give yourself a collective pat on the back. Good things are happening here and we are being noticed. We always appreciate 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.

Hybrid solar power system developed in Summerland

Tech career opportunities booming in B.C.

A Summerland company has designed a solar system to power a winery tasting building in Cawston. Co-owners John and Virginia Weber of Orofino Winery have announced the completion of a solar project that will convert all power consumption of its public tasting building from traditional power sources to solar power. The project uses a unique hybrid system of solar photovoltaic panels and a solar thermal water heating system. The system was designed and constructed by Swiss Solar Tech from Summerland, who are leaders in solar technology implementation in the province. “Orofino is Canada’s only strawbale

British Columbia has a ready source of great jobs and careers in technology. Our education programs need to keep up with that demand. John Leech, Executive Director of the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of BC, explains that, “Every system we rely on – water, roads and transportation, telecommunications and Internet, hydro and natural gas, environment, health, forestry, and many more – utilizes engineering and applied science technology professionals working in the background. BC’s telecom and IT, animation and many other sectors produce new careers every month.” ASTTBC has more than 10,000 members currently working in thousands of careers available to graduates of two-year diploma

constructed winery.”, says Virginia Weber. “Energy and eco-efficiency has been on the top of our mandate from the beginning. We have always thought that

solar power would work really well in our valley and this project reflects our goals of significantly reducing our energy footprint. This building will run on 100

per cent renewable energy.” “We are focused on producing premium wines that reflect this special valley where they are grown. The Similkameen sun-

shine helps to grow our grapes and now it helps produce the power we need to run the winery as well,” noted John Weber. The project was initiated after Orofino undertook a voluntary energy assessment through the Livesmart BC Energy Advisor Program where the winery was ranked in the top 10 out of 450 assessments completed by Livesmart. The Webers were encouraged to apply for the Livesmart BC Champions Program after discussing their goals of implementing solar power to reduce their carbon footprint. The project was designed and submitted for acceptance by the BC Ministry of Energy and Mines and partial funding was awarded under the Innovations category.

programs available at the British Columbia Institute of Technology and other B.C. colleges and institutes. “Our members enjoy rewarding, wellpaid and often recession-proof careers in public service and the private sector alike,” Leech states. He lauds the recent “Year of Science” program that encouraged students towards science, technology, engineering and math. Citing the recent $6 million B.C. campaign to encourage careers in trades, Leech urges a similar effort to build awareness of engineering technology education and careers. Leech says the opportunities for those seeking work in the technology field are considerable given a wave of retirements of presentgeneration B.C. technology professionals that is underway.

Thursday, October 25, 2012 Summerland Review

Democratic process seen on weekend Watching democracy in action is something we should never take for granted. This past Saturday a group of individuals attended an event that would see one of them elected as a candidate in the next provincial election. On Sunday another pair of individuals learned they would also face off in a democratic process in the near future that will also result in one of them being elected as a candidate. Over the next months I expect potentially a few more citizens to also come forward and potentially run for public office in our next provincial general election. It takes great courage to put your name forward, in fact even more so these days given the anonymous and sometimes nasty commentary that can potentially be circulated online. Regardless of political affiliation I would like to recognize all of those individuals who have put their name forward to serve in public office and encourage others to consider public service. On a different theme here is some exciting news for B.C. students. British Columbia is soon to become the first province in Canada to provide free online open textbooks to over 40 of the most currently popular post secondary courses. Parents, students and sometimes even grandparents are well aware that textbook fees can be in the hundreds of dol-

Victoria Views

Bill Barisoff lars or more and the alternatives are sometimes not as up to date or current as the latest offerings. This new program will also allow for the online textbooks to be printed (if desired) at a significantly reduced fee from regular rates. As the books are offered on an “open” basis, instructors will be able to modify content for instructional purposes if required. While there are certainly other post secondary costs that remain of concern, what is exciting about this new program is that it promotes savings through technology and will hopefully begin to appear in many B.C. post secondary institutions in the near future. Last week was the international day for the eradication of poverty. This year there was less coverage in many media sources then in years past. For British Columbia childhood poverty remains a concern as Statistics Canada reports that B.C.’s childhood poverty rate was 10.5 per cent in 2010. While this is the second lowest rate in B.C. since 1980, there remains more work to be done.

There is some good news as overall B.C. child poverty rates have dropped 45 per cent since 2003 and likewise it is also important to look at some of the changes enacted over the past decade that have resulted in this decline. Currently 18,000 new affordable housing units have been completed all across British Columbia with a further 3,000 units currently under construction. Today there are 29,000 BC families that receive some form of assistance to provide for housing, including the relatively new rental assistance program. B.C. has also gone from having one of the lowest to one of the highest minimum wage rates and as much as it was suggested that this could potentially have some impacts on the unemployment rate, B.C. in fact leads all Canadian provinces with the creation of over 67,000 new jobs since February of 2011. Another important change is the B.C. personal income tax rate structure. Today low income earners pay the lowest provincial income taxes in Canada ensuring that more take home pay is available to help support the household. While it is encouraging that or province is moving in the right direction, clearly our province must continue to take action to keep our economy strong in order to provide the resources to help those most in need. Bill Barisoff is the MLA for the riding of Penticton.

Agreement leads to welcome change Never let it be said that democratic diversity is not alive and well in Okanagan-Coquihalla. Each week I am fortunate to receive a significant amount of feedback from many of the good people who live in our amazing region. I appreciate all the phone calls, in-person meetings, chance encounters at a coffee shop or at community events; these are all venues where meaningful comments and feedback can be exchanged.

It should be recognized that there is a huge variety of differing opinions on many issues, however at times there can also be a relatively widespread consensus. One of these issues is the topic on the need for MP pension reform. Much like the opposition to former Liberal Private Members Bill C-428 (a bill that died at the call of the last election and has no standing in this Parliament), the pension issue has strongly united an overwhelming major-

ity of Canadians. When I was first elected last year one of the first comments I heard was “congratulations,” often followed by, “something needs to be done about those MP pensions.” It was a message I heard loud and clear and was one that I publicly committed to support both here and in Ottawa and can now say that action has finally been taken. Last week, changes to the MP pension plan were voted

on and approved that will be more respectful of Canadian taxpayers; these changes will also apply to Senators and ultimately to the public service. The Jobs and Growth Act of 2012 will see the pension contributions for the above groups begin to move towards an equal 50/50 cost sharing model. In addition the retirement age to collect those benefits for MPs, senators and newly hired public servants will also be

increased to age 65. These changes will ultimately save taxpayers some $2.6 billion over the next five years. This week in Ottawa there will be continued debate on two bills originating from the Senate. Bills S-7, Combating Terrorism Act, proposes that holding investigative hearings when required would allow the courts to compel a witness who may have information regarding a terrorism offence to appear in court and provide that information. It is also proposes the creation of new offences that would apply to those leaving Canada, or attempting to leave Canada, to commit an act of terrorism. This legislation is intended to deter persons from leaving Canada to attend terrorist training camps or engage in other terrorist activity abroad.

Ottawa Report

Dan Albas The other Senate Bill is S-11, Safe Food For Canadians Act. This act proposes a number of actions that include instituting a more consistent inspection regime across all food commodities, implementing tougher penalties for activities that put the health and safety of Canadians at risk, providing better control over imports and exports, and strengthening food traceability. Increased fines are also proposed rais-

ing the current maximum fines amount from $250,000 up to $5 million. Later in the week debate will begin on the second budget bill, C-45.

Midget reps host tourney The Game Time Sports Midget Rep Jets hosted a tournament on Oct. 19 to 21 with teams from around the province and Washington. In the first game the Jets took on Chilliwack. After two periods the score was tied at 2, but then some undisciplined play resulted in 4 unanswered goals for a 6-2 loss.

In game two the Jets faced the Tri Cities Americans and skated to a handy 7-3 win, with Liam McLuskey accounting for five of the seven goals. This set up the final round robin game against Spokane and the Jets needed a win to get to the semifinals. It was a back and forth game that saw the Jets leading

2-0 part way through the second when Spokane scored 2 quick goals to tie it up. Then the Jets were awarded a penalty shot and took a 3-2 lead. Shortly after though Spokane tied it up and then was awarded a penalty shot and took a 4-3 lead into the dying seconds of the game. Then with the net empty and six seconds left on the clock the Jets faced off in the Spokane end and were able to net the tying goal with 2 seconds left. Unfortunately Spokane advanced to the semi-finals based on their goals for/against. The Jets then played Abbotsford to finish the tournament but were beaten 4-3. The final saw Langley face off against Spokane with Langley skating to a 6-0 win to earn the championship trophy. The Jets would like to thank Tight Lines Contracting for sponsoring the tournament along with all the other businesses that donated prizes.

Masters curling banner

Summerland Curling Club has a new banner to mark a major accomplishment. It was earned when a team from the curling club won the masters women’s provincial championships in Grand Forks and went on to Canadian playdowns in Montreal where they won three games. Pictured from left to right are the team members including skip, Bev Skinner; third, Wendi Archer; second, RoseMarie Fenrich; and lead Betty Raymond.

Nesters Bantams without defeat Nesters Bantam House remains undefeated. They scored two more wins against Westside on Oct. 13 and Penticton 3 on Oct. 14. Jared Breitkrevz did a great job of goal tending. Linden Gove scored two unassisted goals on Saturday and one on Sunday. Kate Grant scored two goals as well. Karter Wilms had a goal and two assists. Spencer Boerboom scored twice and got an assist. Kyle Walker and Dawson Doherty also had assists.

Summerland Review Thursday, October 25, 2012

Legendary musicians to perform by John Arendt Two longtime B.C. musicians will share the stage at a special concert next month. Valdy and Gary Fjellgaard, the Contenders, will perform together on Tuesday, Nov. 6 as part of their 12th annual tour in support of George Ryga Week. A portion of the proceeds from the concert will go to the George Ryga Award for Social Awareness in Literature. Ryga, an internationally renowned playwright, lived in

Summerland from 1962 until his death in 1987. Valdy said his plays and stories show his social activism. “George Ryga was a writer of social conscience,” he said. “He spoke out for the people who had little recourse. He became a voice for the disenfranchised.” He said the music of the Contenders also speaks to social issues. One song by Fjellgaard, I Apologize, is about apologizing to aboriginals on behalf

of Canada. The concert will feature old favourites and new songs from both musicians. Fjellgaard’s music is a mix of folk and country while Valdy describes himself as purely folk. This year, Valdy has a new CD which was released in spring. The Summerland concert will be at Centre Stage Theatre on Tuesday, Nov. 6 at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at Martin’s Flowers. Phone 250494-5432.
