More interest shown Questions asked about setting up developments in Summerland by John Arendt Developers are looking closely at Summerland as

a site for some significant projects. Municipal planner Ian McIntosh said there has been a growing interest in the community over the past year, for more than simply building residential single family homes.

“People are asking questions,” McIntosh said. “They’re asking about projects of significance.” McIntosh said the questions have been about projects including residential developments and commercial

projects. In August, developers and members of municipal council signed an agreement for the Wharton Street development, a proposed five-storey residential, commercial and institutional project to be built on Wharton

Street between Kelly Avenue and Prairie Valley Road. Before this large-scale project can proceed, the developers will first need a development permit and a building permit.

Interior Health offers flu vaccines by John Arendt

Officials with the Interior Health Authority are urging Okanagan residents to get flu vaccines this fall. While some who have the flu do not show many symptoms, there are concerns about spreading the disease to those who are more vulnerable.

“It’s about protecting yourself, but mostly about protecting others,” said Trevor Corneil, a medical health officer with Interior Health. He said the flu can be serious for those who have weakened immune systems. “Those with chronic conditions are at risk of becoming very sick,” he said.

“Every year there are thousands of deaths across North America,

just from the flu.” The Interior Health

The vaccine is free for adults 65 and older and

their caregivers, children between six and 59 months, pregnant women, obese people, health care workers and first responders. Pharmacies including Pharmasave and Shopper’s Drug Mart also offer flu vaccines. Summerland Medicine Centre held a vaccine clinic earlier this fall. See VACCINE Page 2

Vaccine had been removed temporarily Continued from Page 1

Earlier this fall, two seasonal flu vaccines were pulled from distribution. Novartis temporarily withheld the vaccines in October after anomalies were found in some batches of the vaccines. By the end of last week, Health Canada authorized the use of the vaccines. Corneil said there

are several manufacturers of flu vaccines and in British Columbia, 90 per cent of the vaccines come from other manufacturers. Flu vaccine clinics in Summerland will be offered on Tuesday, Nov. 13 and Tuesday, Dec. 4 from noon to 6 p.m. at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 15244 Victoria Rd. N. No appointment is necessary.

Orchards win top apple prizes Awards presented at Royal Agricultural Winter Fair

by Barbara Manning Grimm Summerland apples captured top spots including Champion and Reserve Champion in this year’s National Apple Competition at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair (RAWF) in Toronto. Devin Jell of SunOka Fruit Farms in Summerland won the Championship for New Varieties (for Aurora) and the Reserve Championship in Commercial Varieties. He took first in Commercial Varieties, Gala Class; first in New Varieties, Ambrosia Class; first in New Varieties, Aurora Golden Gala Class; and first in best collection of five varieties. Sun-Oka Fruit Farms is a fifth generation family farm. Devin and Janine Jell manage 27 acres of high-density apple orchards, mostly planted with newer varieties such as Ambrosia, Aurora Golden Gala, Honeycrisp, Pink Lady and Royal Gala. This year marks the 125th anniversary of the family’s orchard operation which was first homesteaded and

planted by Janine’s great-great-grandfather, James Gartrell, in 1887. It was one of the first commercial orchards established in the Okanagan Valley. Jell observed, “Orchard practices have changed a lot in 125 years, but our family still takes great pride in working the land and producing fruit of excellent quality.” In the National Apple Competition, Sun-Oka entered

It is a steep learning curve for me as I have never farmed before but it is very satisfying work.” Mitchell Family Orchard entered Gala, Ambrosia, Aurora Golden Gala, Spartan, Granny Smith and a collection of five varieties. Gord Shandler of Summerland, second in New Varieties, Ambrosia Class; and second in New Varieties, Other, for Salish. Shandler grew up on an orchard and then went to college a couple of times, studying forestry and environmental quality control. He has been farming for 34 years and is active in promoting new varieties.

He has six acres in super spindle, with 2,500 to 3,000 trees/acre, and currently grows Salish, Ambrosia and Gala. Shandler entered Gala, Salish (SPA 493) and Ambrosia in the National Apple Competition. Frank Fenwick of Summerland entered Aurora Golden Gala, Ambrosia and Spartan. Fenwick Farms is a 13-acre farm located in Summerland. Frank and Louise currently grow Ambrosia, Aurora Golden Gala and Spartan. “This farm is a third generation farm started by my grandfather, who come over from Scotland in approximately 1905. My father and his sister continued farming until Louise and I took over the operation 38 years ago. Over this period of time the farm has had a variety of crops and livestock includ-

The judging of the apples takes place the day prior to opening of the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair and results are officially announced the first day of the fair, held in the heart of the largest urban centre in Canada. RAWF celebrates its 90th anniversary this year.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Firing your client Sometimes in a Lawyer's career he or she is faced with the rare decision to fire a client. Yes, you read that right, not the client changing counsel but the Lawyer firing a client. In a recent situation on the Prairies, 37 Regina lawyers refused to act for a person because his reputation as a very bad client had preceded him. In that case the person had numerous Lawyers in the past and had gained a reputation as being completely uncontrollable. There are many reasons why a Lawyer may consider this drastic step. Normally, it involves lack of payment of the Lawyer's bill. Lawyers, just like everyone else have the right to be paid for their services and can refuse to act when they are not paid on a timely basis. Occasionally though the reason for refusing to act stems directly from the client's attitude or conduct. The Law Society of BC has set up rules on how Lawyers disengage themselves from clients when involved in litigation. Timing is very important and preventative measures are in place to ensure that no party is unduly prejudiced by the withdrawal.

EDITORIAL

our pick

Considering development It is a good sign when developers start to pay attention to properties in Summerland. In recent years, the recession and its aftermath have taken a toll and as a result, development has slowed considerably. This year, however, more interest has been shown at the municipal development services department. At present, it is too early to know whether this increase in interest will translate into a construction boom within the next year or two. In the past, some plans which showed considerable promise simply did not materialize. This year, a proposed development along Wharton Street, worth between $90 and $120 million, has been in the plans. In summer, developers and members of municipal council signed an agreement for the proposed five-storey project, but more work is needed before construction can begin. The developers are hoping to break ground in February and have the first building completed early in 2014. While it is encouraging to see an interest in development and even more encouraging to see projects under construction, it is also important to remember that development by itself does not create economic growth for a community. A development may meet a need for residential, commercial, institutional or industrial space, but it will not bring people or businesses to a community. For that, it is important to have a solid economic strategy, which will then attract the businesses and the developers which will follow them. The recent interest shown by developers should be seen as a sign that Summerland is working to attract and nurture businesses. And, as Summerland creates an environment which draws businesses, everyone will benefit.

We vote a “good apple” for our good Summerland apples. Summerland orchardists won grand champion, reserve champion and other top spots in the National Apple Competition at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto. The winning orchards are some of Summerland’s earliest fruit growing operations as well as newly developed orchards. Classics and new varieties were featured.

The real smart meter manipulation VICTORIA – Two very different scenes unfolded at opposite ends of the province last week. In the remote northwest corner of B.C., the first power line towers started going up to connect Highway 37 communities to the BC Hydro grid. The Nisga’a, Tahltan and other aboriginal communities will soon have reliable power, as well as much-need- Tom Fletcher ed training and jobs during clearing and construction. Meanwhile down on the Gulf Islands, the most hysterical, dishonest campaign against smart meters I’ve heard of so far went into high gear. I’ve obtained a mass e-mail from the head anti-smart meter organizer on Salt Spring Island that shows the mentality at work here. (Corix is the BC Hydro contractor that has installed more than a million meters and has approached the Gulf Islands with trepidation, the last area of B.C. to be done.) “Corix is attacking with 30 trucks on Mon the 22nd,” Chris Anderson wrote in October. “Poelpe [sic] are advised NOT to attend the Victoria pipeline rally but instead help defend agianst [sic] spymeter installations in their neighbourhoods.” Anderson’s self-appointed supporters fanned out across the island, attempting to turn away installers on the false assumption that everyone has fallen for their crackpot fear campaign.

They managed to stop 12 per cent of the installations. Coincidentally, Anderson has been doing a brisk business selling $35 meter locks to gullible Salt Spring Islanders in recent months. They don’t work, and you’re not allowed to lock BC Hydro property anyway. Others have been sold officiallooking “no smart meter” signs that don’t identify the customer, so they don’t work either. As for the term “spymeter,” I’ve reported on the weird theories spread by Bill Van-

co-authored a study that shows residential fires have decreased with the advent of smart meters. Which brings me to the ugliest opposition to this modernization, the criminal element. Here in North America’s marijuana mecca, installers have encountered many meter bypasses, wired up to steal hydro and conceal high consumption for grow ops. In addition to being illegal, they are a fire hazard that is removed when discovered. Installers also find more

Thiesen even claimed radiofrequency signals can “pull your PIN number directly out of your head.” Is there no limit to the nonsense some people will fall for? der Zalm in a video interview, where he claims smart meters are part of a global surveillance system that can even tell what you’re cooking. Vander Zalm has been outdone by one Brian Thiesen, who styles himself as the “chairman” of “Interior Smart Meter Awareness.” In September, the Merritt Herald reported on Thiesen’s presentation to 20 unwary people in a church basement. He claimed wireless meters not only provide video surveillance of your house, they are also responsible for “dying bees” and “defective sperm and eggs” as well as disease and fires. Thiesen even claimed radiofrequency signals can “pull your PIN number directly out of your head.” Is there no limit to the nonsense some people will fall for? Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis

sophisticated cases of hydro theft. Removing the mechanical meter reveals a hole cut in the back of the case, so the dials can be turned back to hide a grow op’s power consumption. No wonder some people want to lock them down. Of course all of this is defeated by a smart grid system, so the growers and other crooks are angry. A BC Hydro official told me about one case where a user was told he had a bypass, and that it was being removed. His bill went from next to nothing to a reasonable level. The customer complained to the media, falsely inflating the amount of his bill and blaming an inaccurate smart meter.

culls

With the first snowfall each year comes a rash of fender benders. Motor vehicles slide through intersections, skid across centrelines and bump into one another. This year let’s all try to remember how to drive safely in the snow. How? We should reduce speed when road surfaces are slippery and visibility is poor. We should increase space between vehicles and allow more distance for stopping. We should watch out for other drivers and pedestrians. This year let’s start winter driving the right way. Safely.

Fair’s future depends on community Dear Editor I cannot help but respond to your article re the Summerland Fall Fair’s future. The future of a 103-year-old event should not be a deci-

sion made by a small number of people but by the whole community it serves. Community support during the week of the Fair has always been outstanding and is to be

applauded. What is dwindling is the volunteer leadership that takes place throughout the whole year. This leadership base plans, coordinates, and directs the

running of the event. Without a broader base of leadership the Fair will not continue. Fresh input and ideas can move it forward. Fall Fair 2013 is dependent on vol-

unteers to serve on the Director’s Board who will come to a monthly meeting, take on an area of responsibility, have a passion for Summerland and a sense of humour.

Those interested in serving in this role and helping to make a clear decision are asked to attend a meeting on Wednesday Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. at the Fall Fair office, (lower level

of Country Café on Kelly Ave.) Do we fold or move forward? Nov. 21 is decision night. Connie Davis Fall Fair 2012 President Summerland

The Early years

We remember

In June of 1944, cadets in Summerland marched down Granville Road (Main Street) to take part in the ceremonies commemorating D-Day. Some of them likely had relatives in the battle. Though the success of the Allies on the beaches of Normandy was the turning point that led to the defeat of Germany, it would be another year before our soldiers returned home. And of course, many didn’t. On Nov. 11. we gather to pay tribute to the brave men and women who fought in the wars so that we could stay free. Wear a poppy… and remember.

Out-of-town businesses selected for community branding initiative Dear Editor: While the Summerland Chamber of Economic Development and Tourism verbally promotes shopping locally, it appears their talk has little to do with their actions. This fall SCEDT had a budget of $16,000 for creating a new marketing look for the town of Summerland. This re-branding project required the services of photog-

raphers and a graphic designer. Out of the $16,000, less than 15 per cent was spent locally in Summerland. As a chamber member and a graphic designer and photographer, I find it hard to believe that local talent couldn’t have been employed for the job. I also find it disconcerting that our local businesses who formed the Tourism Advisory Committee

weren’t more vocal about hiring from Summerland’s pool of talented graphic designers and photographers. The photography portion of the rebranding was awarded to three photography businesses. Only one of them was from Summerland – receiving one third of the $6,000 photography budget. The other two photographers, and the graphic designer

were from Kamloops, Okanagan North/ Shuswap and Vernon. Their local businesses will be thanking the Summerland Chamber considering they’ve just added more disposable dollars to their communities. Shopping locally? Business friendly? I don’t think so. SCEDT consistently farms out branding and marketing projects to outside agencies. The current Cham-

The municipality’s aerial maps have been updated. The project, which cost around $50,000, shows every property within Summerland and some areas just outside municipal boundaries. Municipal planner Ian McIntosh said the maps include Faulder, Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park and an area just south of the Summerland Research Station. The updated maps replace the previous aerial photographs which were taken in April, 2005. McIntosh said the planning department depends on the information from the aerial photographs every day. “We’ve probably got 100 layers of information we can view,” he said. These include water lines, sewer mains, legal information and descriptions, road classifications, hydrants and more. In addition, the

Instead, on Oct. 29 the federal government announced their decision not to close the centre after Elizabeth May,

Heed urges pot legalization by Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – B.C. political leaders should stop pointing fingers at Ottawa and follow the lead of U.S. states on marijuana legalization, Vancouver-Fraserview MLA Kash Heed says. A former B.C. public safety minister and commanding officer of the Vancouver Police drug and gang units, Heed spoke out as voters in Washington, Oregon and Colorado prepared to vote Tuesday on initiatives to regulate and tax the sale of marijuana for adults. Heed said Premier Christy Clark and NDP leader Adrian Dix have no difficulty speaking out about federally regu-

lated interprovincial pipelines, but both defer to the federal jurisdiction on marijuana law. Action is needed to address the gang violence that goes along with the marijuana trade, he said. “There’s a lot of hypocrisy going around Victoria right now,” Heed said in an interview. “They’re speaking out of both sides of their mouths on different issues.” Both Clark and Dix have admitted to trying marijuana in their younger days, but both have indicated this year that they don’t plan to push for legalization. Dix said last week he has long advocated decriminalization, which would reduce simple possession to a ticket offence. He

said Prime Minister Stephen Harper ’s measure to require jail time for growing more than six plants is the wrong direction, but B.C. can’t consider regulating and taxing sale until federal law allows it. A new Angus Reid poll commissioned by a pro-legalization group called Stop the Violence B.C. shows support for legalization is up to 75 per cent. That’s up six per cent from last year, and Heed has joined former attorneys general, doctors, police officers and others who have called for action. Heed said the same arguments were used when he joined the push for a supervised injection site in Vancou-

ver. Provincial and local governments lobbied the federal government to allow pilot projects for the INSITE clinic, and provided funding as well, he said.

Heed said he has studied the results of 17 U.S. states that allow medical marijuana exemptions and 14 others that have tried decriminalization.

That is actually Dr. Cindee Melashenko a very hard question to answer Carol but I will do my best. I can’t give you an answer for “how long will it last,” I wish I could. So instead, I ask the questions: “why would this break?” or “what is the risk that this tooth will break?” I’ll discuss three possible answers: chewing, size of the filling, and stress. Let’s face it, if we didn’t use our teeth, fillings would last a lot longer, in some cases, forever. When we chew, the force is not just up and down, our teeth meet up at a variety of angles and it is this force that is the most damaging. Another factor here can be the number of teeth that you have to function with. The more back teeth we have, the better our chances to prevent fracture. However, if all our back teeth have large fillings (I always look at the width of the filling in the tooth), the risk for the filling or tooth to break is high. Factor in a healthy raw diet of whole grains, nuts, and hard vegetables and you will likely break your tooth. Conversely, small fillings combined with a softer diet have a lower risk for breaking. So now we have to add in what we do to our teeth when we are not chewing, we clench. Clenching our teeth together is our body’s natural defense mechanism for stress. And this clenching force is enough to break teeth over time. At every check up, I review with my patients the risks that they have for their teeth. Regular check up’s with discussion should let you know if your tooth is at risk for breaking. We’re here to help in any way we can. Feel free to call, stop by, or send us an e-mail message. We are always accepting new patients and I’d be happy to answer your question in the next article (anonymously if desired). Have a great week!

Province reverses policy on tourism by Tom Fletcher Black Press Three years after the B.C. government took over international tourism marketing to direct post-Olympic efforts, Premier Christy Clark has put the tourism industry back in the driver’s seat. Clark and Jobs, Tourism and Innovation Minister Pat Bell announced the creation of a new Crown corporation Monday

in Vancouver. They said Destination BC will be industry led and have formula funding from provincial taxpayers to advertise the province’s attractions outside the country. Clark said she spoke out as a radio host against the government takeover when it was announced in 2009 by former tourism minister Kevin Krueger. The Council of Tourism Associations

resorts. Half the spending went to Ontario, and the rest was split between Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles. B.C. has long targeted those markets, but ads focused on promoting the province generically with “Super Natural B.C.” promotions that did not emphasize specific attractions or activities. NDP leader Adrian Dix tried to pre-empt the expected announcement last week, making his own promise that an NDP government would return control over tourism marketing to the industry.

MLAs disclose travel expenses by Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – B.C.’s 85 MLAs have begun disclosing their travel expenses, posting total amounts charged on their government-issued credit cards but not the details of where they drove, flew or dined. The B.C. legislature’s internal finances are being dragged into the 21st century in response to a damning report from Auditor General John Doyle released in July. The audit found that MLA credit card bills were being paid without receipts, and the legislative assembly hadn’t produced financial statements despite a 2007 recommendation from the previous auditor general. In response, the Legislative Assembly Management Committee, chaired by Speaker and Penticton MLA Bill Barisoff, began holding its meetings in public. Two new financial officers were hired to address what Doyle described as “pervasive deficiencies”

in financial accountability of legislature operations. The management committee authorized the first release Wednesday, showing six months of expenditures for each MLA up to the end of September. The report breaks spending down in categories, including accommodation, daily meal allowance and three categories of travel. MLAs representing districts farthest from Victoria generally run up the highest expenses. Leading the pack in the first report is Robin Austin, NDP MLA for Skeena, with $53,606 in expenses from April to September. Austin’s total includes $19,486 in “Speaker approved travel,” including a trip to Colombo, Sri Lanka in September to attend a Commonwealth Parliamentary Association conference. Speakers, deputy speakers and legislative clerks typically attend these conferences, aimed at strengthening parliamentary practices

around the world. Routine expenses include the “capital city allowance,” for which most MLAs who live outside Greater Victoria claim $1,000 a month without receipts. With receipts, out-of-town MLAs can claim up to $19,000 a year for rent, mortgage or hotel accommodation while in Victoria on legislature business. MLAs are also eligible for $61 a day for meals while in Victoria on legislature business. MLA expenses are to be posted quarterly from now on at www.leg.bc.ca/ mla/remuneration/ travel_expenses. htm where the first reports are posted. Cabinet minister travel expenses are reported separately on the B.C. government’s “open government” website initiated by Premier Christy Clark. They receive similar accommodation and meal payments to other MLAs, but they are paid by their ministries and do not show up on the new disclosures.

With more than nine million Canadians living with diabetes or prediabetes, chances are, most Canadians know someone living with the disease. November has been designated as Diabetes Awareness Month with local events and fundraising activities. Through the Clotheline project, the Canadian Diabetes Association raises awareness of the disease and funds for its work in order to lead the fight against diabetes by helping people with diabetes live a healthy life while they work to find a cure. In recognition of Diabetes Awareness Month, the Clothesline Okanagan team is launching the Corporate Challenge

Clothing Drive until Nov. 30. This Okanagan community driven initiative is timely as Nov. 14 is World Diabetes Day and your opportunity to help both the Canadian Diabetes Association and the environment. Donors are encouraged to bring donations of gently-used clothing, shoes, linens and household items to collection centres at Solve Insurance Services Inc. in Kelowna. Cell phones and laptop computers may be taken to Kelowna Cell Phone Repair, Okanagan Strata Management and Northern Computers. From Nov. 14 to 17, Rona Home Centre in Kelowna will have a Fill the Bagster clothing drive at the store.

Banners depict cenotaph soldiers Summerland’s Remembrance Banners were one of this year’s Community Cultural Development Committee’s projects. For this year, only five banners were installed. The funding was provided by the committee and by individuals. The cost of each banner is $175. It is hoped that businesses and more people will help support this project so that it can be expanded next year. There are approximately 35 photographs of our cenotaph soldiers

that could be used for future banners. George Barkwill came to Summerland in 1910 with his brothers Harry and Robert. George worked as a carpenter. In the 1990s when the Banks home on Solly Road was renovated, George’s name was found written on one of the pieces of lumber. At the age of 27, George was killed in the World War One Battle of Ypres. His brother Harry Barkwill had been killed two months earlier in trench warfare at Hargicourt, France.

Plans call for significant developments Continued from Page 1

At the time, Randy Gibson, one of the developers, said the target for groundbreaking is February, 2013, with the first building completed early in 2014. Developers say the project is worth between $90 and $120 million. An earlier proposal for the property had attracted much attention when a developer had expressed interest in the site. At that time, an agreement was not signed and the plan expired in January, 2011. Another site which has attracted some attention is on Lakeshore Drive. In October, a bid was accepted on a former cannery building on Lakeshore Drive. Earlier, a plan had been in the works to put two eight-storey residential buildings, over a commercial and parking build-

he expected a new development proposal would come

forward for this location. Mayor Janice Per-

site will likely be on a smaller scale, but will still contain

a mix of residential and commercial spaces.

Teacher chosen for sister city by John Arendt For the first time in five or six years, Summerland will send an English teacher to its sister city of Toyokoro, Japan. Anna Marshall was selected from among the applicants to serve for one year, with the possible extension of another year to her contract. She will leave for Toyokoro, on Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido, on July 1

ence in Japan. “Asian culture has intere s t e d me, particularly Japan,” Anna she said. “ I t ’ s Marshall going to be such an amazing experience.” While she is preparing for a different environment, she knows it will be a difficult transition.

“Asian culture has interested me, particularly Japan. It’s going to be such an amazing experience.”

Anna Marshall

and will start work on Aug. 1. To prepare for the role, she is working to complete a course in teaching English as a second language. She is also being tutored in the Japanese language and culture. Before she leaves, she will write up lesson plans for her time in Japan. Marshall is looking forward to the experi-

“No matter what I do, I’m going to get culture shock,” she said. Marshall has had other international experience as she has spent time in Central America two years ago. She also lived in Australia for eight months, although that country has many similarities with Canada. The role in Japan

will be different since she will be a representative for the community while she is in Toyokoro. “She will be an ambassador for Summerland,” said Darlene Forsdick of Summerland’s sister city committee. Marshall said the role comes with much responsibility. “While I’m over there, I want to do as much as I can,” she said. “I’m not just representing Summerland; I’m representing Canada.” Her teaching work will be with students from Kindergarten to Grade 12 as well as teaching English to adults. Summerland and Toyokoro have officially had a sister city agreement since 1996. Delegations from Toyokoro have visited Summerland on many occasions during that time, and Summerland has also sent delegations to Japan. In 2013, a delegation from Summerland will visit Toyokoro in September.

Band to elect 8 council members 15 candidates seek positions Black Press

Open for business

Mayor Janice Perrino congratulates Dean Colpitts, president of North West Technology. The technology firm which designs, supplies and installs communications infrastructure for industrial projects around the world, recently relocated to Summerland from Alberta.

School board examines sex education by Joe Fries Black Press School district administrators are deep in the planning process to outsource some components of sex education to compensate for a resident expert’s departure. During its budget deliberations last spring, the board of the Okanagan Skaha School District elected not to replace its family life teacher, who retired in June. That teacher was responsible for delivering sections of sex education to students throughout the district. Now it will be up to school principals to figure out how to deliver the key messages contained in governmentprescribed learning outcomes concerning sexual health for Grades 6 to 10, be it through teachers, counsellors or outside help. Classes below Grade 6 are covered by an existing program, while there are no such out-

comes for Grades 11 and 12, according to Don MacIntyre, the district’s director of instruction. He told a meeting of the school board’s education committee on Tuesday that he will help with the transition by connecting principals to community resources. “By the time we close for winter break, we should have a plan in the hands of our administrators so that they

know which resources and which agencies they can access in terms of providing the support they feel they need,” MacIntyre said. “After that, what they choose to do will be no different than how they choose to deliver other types of curriculum.” MacIntyre noted there are “not really that many” learning outcomes involving sexual health for Grades 6 to 10 and is confident there will

be enough time to meet them between January and the end of the school year. B.C.’s curriculum for Grade 9 students, for example, mentions only teaching practices that promote healthy sexual decision-making and assessing the longterm consequences of unsafe sex. Trustee Linda Beaven asked MacIntyre if he has “any concerns about the consistency and the commitment” of dif-

ferent schools to deliver sex education, to which he replied no. “Not anymore than I would have for any other curriculum or content that we’re responsible for,” MacIntyre said.

With their first round of elections finished, returning Johnathon Kruger as chief, the Penticton Indian Band is now preparing to select the other eight members of council. A nomination meeting on Tuesday at the band’s community hall, resulted in a total of 15 candidates vying for the eight councillor seats. Like the chief, the successful candidates will serve a four-year term as councillors. For the 2012 elections, all but one of the current councillors chose to let their names stand for reelection, including Joan Phillip, Joseph Pierre, Laurie Wilson, Kevin Gabriel, Timothy Lezard, Clinton Gabriel and Travis Kruger. But Joan Gabriel, who held the health and wellness portfolio, will not be running for re-election.

Chief Kruger publicly thanked Gabriel, noting her 16 years of service to the community, her dedication to their families and her help in community healing. Eight others also chose to stand for election. Clint George, Fred Kruger, Sabrina Eneas, Harmon Pickett, Dolly Kruger, Lesley Gabriel, Pierre Kruger and Inez Pierre have also come forward as potential candidates. Band members will vote on Dec. 12, with polls at the Penticton Band Community Hall from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Advance polls are scheduled for Dec. 8, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the same location. The band’s election process also allows for mail-in ballots for eligible band members who live off reserve and the Penticton Band electoral office will be making every effort to contact those eligible voters.

New CEO for tree fruit co-operative by Judie Steeves Black Press The winds of change are blowing through the Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-operative as two new board members replace long-time members on the board following the recent annual general meeting. At their first meeting Nov. 1, the board voted to let co-op chief executive officer Gary Schieck go, and hired Alan Tyabji, who was manager of the Okanagan

Similkameen Cooperative, which was amalgamated with three other valley tree fruit co-ops in 2008 to form the OTFC. Tyabji had been with the south Okanagan co-op since December, 1985. Schieck served with the Okanagan North Co-op for a couple of decades before taking the post heading up the newly-amalgamated organization. The co-op board also re-elected Cawston grower Rob Dawson as president, and

elected Colin Pritchard of Kelowna as vice-president representing the northern growers and Nirmal Dhaliwal of Osoyoos representing growers in the south. Tyabji will also be CEO of B.C. Tree Fruits, which is part of the OTFC. They are owned by 580 local grower families and sort, pack, market and distribute a variety of B.C. fruits including apples, pears, cherries, apricots, prune plums and blueberries. The head office is in

Kelowna. Meanwhile, a longtime orchardist has called for the removal of B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association president Kirpal Boparai. Glenn Cross put a resolution to members of the Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-operative at its annual general meeting in late October that the co-op packinghouse immediately stop funding the BCFGA until the executive removes Boparai from the board. It was approved and the resolution

will go to the co-op board for its consideration. But co-op president Rob Dawson says it’s not up to the co-op to interfere in BCFGA business. The co-op receives membership fees to the grower lobby association, as part of grower contracts it has with its member growers, but the two organizations are separately run. “As far as I’m concerned it won’t be discussed by the board,” said Dawson. Cross says he

I’m the first president (of the BCFGA) who stood up to the co-op,” he said. “The old ways don’t work anymore.” Boparai will be up for re-election at the BCFGA annual general meeting to be held Jan. 26, 2013 in Penticton.

Local governments can now apply to have their efforts in creating supportive environments for their community’s seniors recognized. The Age-friendly British Columbia community recognition program is offered in partnership with BC Healthy Communities and rewards a commitment to local initiatives, which allow seniors to enjoy good health and active participation in their community. To be eligible, communities must complete four steps: o Establish an agefriendly advisory or steering committee, which includes the active participation of older adults. o Pass a local council or district board resolution to actively support, promote and work toward becoming an age-friendly community. o Conduct an age-

friendly assessment in consultation with older adults. o Develop and publish an action plan. Successful communities will receive a poster celebrating their efforts and $1,000 to help provide an age-friendly legacy project or celebration. Communities will also be required to implement an agefriendly action plan and monitor agefriendly progress by measuring and reviewing activities, and reporting publicly on action plan outcomes. Applications for age-friendly recognition will be accepted through Jan. 4, 2013. Successful applicants will be notified in the spring of 2013.

Boparai said he has talked to a couple of members of the co-op board and he didn’t feel the motion would go forward, but he said he would be more than happy to step aside if that’s what growers want. “It’s not about Kirpal. It’s all about the growers,” he said. Boparai was dismissed from the co-op recently because he

Tourism, disease testing and bullying Tourism is an important industry both at the provincial level and also locally here in the Okanagan region. As a result tourism marketing is an important component in attracting new visitors to our area however reaching a consensus based

approach can be challenging given the diversity of the industry. This week, the government of British Columbia announced a new initiative that will create an industry-led Crown corporation known as Destination B.C. This new organiza-

tion is expected to be up and running by April, 2013 and is based upon recommendations made from the Tourism Industry Association of British Columbia task force. Long term funding for this organization will be achieved through a dedicated percentage

share of annual sales tax revenue. Another recent announcement is from the Minister of Health regarding a new B.C. wide coordinated colorectal cancer screening program to assist in the early detection of the disease. Beginning in the

The program will be primary-carebased, with general practitioners referring patients in the 50 to 74 age group (without symptoms) for a screening test once every two years. For patients with a significant family history of colorectal cancer, they will be referred to their regional health authority for a screening colonoscopy. Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in Canada and while most are aware that it is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men, many are surprised to learn that it is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. Fortunately colorectal cancer is one of the more preventable forms of cancer and if diagnosed at an early stage, it is 90 per cent curable.

ious threat of violence, the third I have encountered during my time in public office. I raise this point due to the fact that this threat emerged from the Internet. Over the past few weeks in B.C. we have witnessed some disturbing incidents of cyber-bullying, circulation of inappropriate materials, sexual and emotional exploitation from online predators and a host of other vicious, unpleasant and at times even criminal acts. I believe it is critically important that parents start taking a more active role in the internet and the dangers of children sharing too much information online. Once personal information is in the internet domain it becomes out of control and can be used for purposes that can lead to tragic consequences. As parents we need to keep our children safe and that also includes recognizing the dangers that can and do exist online. For more information please visit bccpa. org/index.htm.

“This is a film about freedom of expression ...” Chinese artist and political activist Ai Weiwei first captured international attention when he was appointed the design consultant for Beijing’s Olympic “Bird’s Nest” stadium. Regarded as one of the most powerful contemporary artists working today, he was runner-up for TIME Magazine’s 2011 Person of the Year. But in China, he is subjected to surveillance and endures swift censorship of his work and activities. This timely film is a portrait of a key contemporary artist and an examination of China’s internal politics in the wake of Olympic promise and growth. (PG)

Thursday, November 8, 2012 Summerland Review

Examining the costs of an MLA This week I would like to submit my annual accountability report. It was my intention to do this earlier in the year however it was only late last week that the Board of Internal Economy tabled the audited individual members’ expenditure reports. The following information is for the period from April 1, 2011 up to March 31, 2012 in accordance with the Board of Internal Economy reporting periods. Although much of this information is publicly available, it is often difficult to find and may exist within several different areas of government. I believe it is important for citizens to have an annual summary on the activities of elected officials in public office and the following information is based on the most common requests

that I receive from constituents. Without question, spending and travel are typically the most scrutinized areas. In the context of a Member of Parliament from British Columbia, our travel expenses are higher than those of MPs from other areas in Canada as a result of the fact that we fly the farthest distances between B.C. and Ottawa. My personal travel expense for the time frame was just over $49,000 — in my case this represents roughly 400 hours in an airplane and I would estimate close 98 per cent was regular coach class —I didn’t fly first class before being elected as an MP and I continue to make every effort to fly economy class as a Member of Parliament. Total spending for both my offices here in Okanagan-

Coquihalla and in Ottawa including all staff, leases, advertising and travel was $316,625. Currently the average total spending of an MP in British Columbia is roughly $445,000. Closer to home NDP MP Alex Atamanenko from B.C. Southern Interior has posted spending of $516,131 as a comparison. Sponsored travel falls into a different category as Members of Parliament are invited from time to time to travel to other destinations both within and outside of Canada for a variety of different reasons. These invitations often include airfare and accommoda-

tions being paid for by the host provider and not taxpayers. When Members of Parliament accept these invitations they are required to disclose and report such trips to The Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner. I can confirm that I did not accept any complimentary trips or travel since being elected. House Attendance: At some point over the years you may have heard about MPs who rarely venture into the House of Commons while they are in Ottawa unless votes are occurring. From my perspective I try to be in the House of Commons for a portion of each day the House is sit-

ting. During my first year as an MP, there were only three sitting days that I was not in attendance for votes in the House of Commons. In each of these circumstances I was asked to represent the government at an announcement here in OkanaganCoquihalla. When not in the House of Commons, I am most often in one of the two Parliamentary Committees I sit on or another Parliamentary Committee covering for an MP who may have a scheduling conflict. In total I attended over 915 different events between Ottawa and Okanagan Coquihalla, that

Ottawa Report

Dan Albas included nearly 300 different meetings and roughly 130 community events with the remainder being other Parliamentary or constituency related functions. Not included are unscheduled events or daily phone calls. The above information is intended to provide a brief

summary of the most commonly asked questions regarding my activities for the first year as a Member of Parliament working on your behalf in Ottawa. If there is other information that you are interested in, please do not hesitate to contact me with your request. Likewise if this annual accountability disclosure is not of interest to you, please let me know otherwise I will look to post a similar report this time next year.

Walter Seybold Walter Seybold of Summerland passed away peacefully at home at the end of September, 2012. He was born in Stuttgart, Germany, on April 18, 1932, and emigrated to Canada in 1956. From Edmonton he traveled to northern Canada for employment as a licensed welder and boiler maker. He enjoyed the natural beauty of the North, its wildlife and its solitude.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proud to Welcome You

Walterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s determination to survive triumphed, and he regained strength during the following years of building a homestead in a forest north of 100 Mile House, with a dog and wildlife for companionship. He was also known as a helpful, resourceful neighbour. In 1986 he bought a farm in Cawston. However in 1992 a sawmill was built on adjacent property and its dust forced Walter to sell his farm at a loss and move away for his health. He bought his home in Summerland on Prairie Valley Road around 1994. Friends of Walter Seybold miss his companionship. He was an inspiration, always researching topics such as homeopathy and herbal knowledge and finding ingenious ways to solve his problems. He enjoyed listening to music and sharing historical lore such as the dramatic history of his forefathers, the persecuted Cathars.

Since industrial boiler-making was an especially hazardous occupation in those years, with workers unprotected from chemical fumes and the X-rays used to check welds, cancer felled many tradesmen. After bouts of illness Walter had to find other employment and was a prison guard in the Lower Mainland. Around 1964 with help from his mother who was highly regarded in Germany for her work with the International Red Cross, Walter returned to Germany for successful surgery. He returned to work, but about two years later the stomach cancer returned, resulting in severe surgery, chemical treatments and radiation that he later believed to have been excessive. His mother arranged to have him flown to Germany for health treatments afterward.
