Power rates to rise by John Arendt

Summerlanders will pay more for electrical power in 2013 as the municipality passes on a rate increase from FortisBC. On Tuesday evening, council voted to increase

the rates by 4.2 per cent, the same amount as the FortisBC increase. Initially, the application from FortisBC, filed on June 30, called for an increase of 6.5 per cent, but after a review by the B.C. Utilities Commission and some adjust-

ments, the increase was reduced. Municipal treasurer Ken Ostraat said power purchase costs are the single biggest cost of the municipality’s electrical utility. The increase by FortisBC will increase the

municipality’s costs by roughly $280,000. There are also additional costs for the municipality with two per cent increase in labour rates and increased materials costs. The reintroduction of the Provincial Sales Tax

HST

and the elimination of the Harmonized Sales Tax will increase the total costs of materials by seven per cent, since municipalities can no longer receive a rebate of the full amount of sales tax paid.

YOUR SMILE You should only look back to see how far you’ve come.

Students plan day of silence by John Arendt

Summerland Secondary School will be a little quieter on Nov. 22 as students observe a day of silence. The initiative, organized by Grade 10 student Abhishek Lekhi, along with Ryan Varchol, is an initiative to raise awareness of children who do

not have a voice in thirdworld countries. Last year, 50 students took part in the first We Are Silent campaign at the school. The initiative raised $1,100. The money went to build a school in Haiti. This year Lekhi hopes to have 75 participants raising $1,500. By the end of last week,

between 70 and 80 students had already signed up. He added that some teachers have also agreed to take part this year and will be conducting their classes in silence. “It’s a whole school movement,” Lekhi said. Lekhi said he became aware of the need for the initiative when he was

in India with his family last year, an experience he describes as “a huge eye-opener.” While there is a growing middle class in India, he said he also noticed a lot of poverty in the country. Lekhi and Varchol have produced a 1:56 video on YouTube.com, featuring students at the school

with black electrical tape over their mouths. The video can be seen online at youtube.com/ watch?v=uIXF9fXDXbk. Donations will be accepted for the effort. Money can be dropped off at the Summerland Secondary School office. The money will go to building a library in Tanzania in 2013.

Health Matters Osteoporosis, brittle bones, affects 1 out of 4 women and 1 out of 8 men. There are very effective medications, but there is so much that can be done to prevent the condition before it wreaks its toll. A diet with sufficient calcium and vitamin D and weight-bearing exercise are key, as are quitting smoking and limiting caffeine and alcohol consumption. And, if medication is used, be sure to take it as directed for optimal benefits. Osteoporosis is often a condition of age but it can occur secondary to another condition or medications – sometimes in children or adolescents. Bone mass accumulates until the age of 30, so anything which disrupts bone growth prior to that age can significantly increase osteoporosis risk. Anyone with a chronic condition or medications should talk to their physician about their risks and what can be done.

Police report Vehicle abandoned

A vehicle reported stolen Nov. 6 from Cartwright Avenue was found on Scott Street, still running with the headlights on. A door handle and the ignition had been damaged when the 1996 green GMC Sierra was broken into and started.

Black ice

A vehicle skidded on black ice and went off Highway 97 at the Peach Orchard overpass early the morning of Nov. 13. The vehicle, travelling south, went into the ditch on the west side of the highway, taking out a road sign. No one was injured.

Car break-in

A car parked at the information and free wifi pullout at Trout Creek was damaged in a mischief incident reported the afternoon of Nov. 8. The 2001 Honda Prelude had damage to a door, sunroof and dashboard. A radio, stereo speakers and personal items were stolen. A passerby called police after noticing damage to the vehicle, which had been parked with a For Sale sign on it. Police are continuing their investigation.

Burglary reported

A house on Solly Road was broken into sometime between 2:30 p.m. Nov. 10 and 8:30 a.m. Nov. 11 when no one was home. The house was entered through a door and jewelry and electronics were stolen. The burglary is under investigation.

Dried plums may be the next thing to add to your antiosteoporosis diet! A study in the British Journal of Nutrition showed participants who consumed dried plums regularly had greater bone density at the end of a 12-month period. It is thought the plums have the ability to reduce the rate at which bones are broken down. Researchers recommended starting with 2-3 dried plums daily, gradually increasing to 6-10 per day. A nutrient you may never have considered as a treatment for osteoporosis is vitamin C! A deficiency of vitamin C causes scurvy – a condition which has deleterious effects on bone growth – and now research is showing that large doses of vitamin C actually promote bone growth. At least, in mice! No word on what the dose translates to in humans, but the therapeutic potential is very positive. Your best source of nutrients, such as calcium, is your diet – but not everyone’s diet hits the mark. Ask our pharmacists about a “calcium calculator” to determine your specific supplementation needs.

Anti-bullying efforts proposed Group seeks ways to make Summerland a bully-free community by John Arendt A committee is working to define Summerland as a bully-free community. While anti-bully-

ing messages have been given at the schools for many years, Tina Martin, a member of the committee, would like to see it go further. She said she would like to see a code of conduct for the entire community. “We need to be more vocal, more accountable for our

actions,” she said. School trustee Linda Van Alphen said the anti-bullying message needs to go to the entire community. “Our students have a finer definition of what bullying is,” she said. “Often, adults don’t recognize bullying.” In 2009, Trevor

Knowlton, a teacher at Summerland Secondary School and a member of the committee, launched the StopaBully.com website to enable students and parents to safely report incidents of school bullying. The site is now used by schools across Canada and has gained national attention.

Despite the antibullying messages which have long been in place in the schools

aBully.com, there are still reports of bullying in Summerland and across Canada.

“I think every person has good intentions and a good heart. We can overcome these things.”

Tina Martin

and despite initiatives such as Stop-

Still, Martin believes the problem of bullying can be addressed. “I think every person has good intentions and a good heart,” she said. “We can overcome these things.” Van Alphen said it is important to define the effort as striving to become bully-free, realizing the problem cannot be stopped immediately.

Martin said defining Summerland as a community which will not tolerate bullying will make it easier for the community to address the problem. She and others on the committee will work to raise awareness of bullying. Ideas suggested so far have included a community forum, a pink t-shirt day, presentations on bullying and more. The next meeting will be on Nov. 26 at 7 p.m. at Summerland Secondary School. Martin would like to see more people involved with the anti-bully initiative. Those interested can contact her at 250-404-0301.

EDITORIAL

our pick

Stopping bullies When a committee seeks to make Summerland a bullyfree community, it is easy to feel good about the efforts and intentions. For many years, schools in Summerland and beyond have been working to address the problem of bullying, but bullying does not begin or end at school. There are far too many cases of domestic violence, elder abuse and bullying in the workplace, either by a tyrannical boss or an inconsiderate coworker. And in a world where cyber-bullying has now been added to our vocabulary, it is important to recognize and address the problem of bullying. It is high time this problem was identified as something which affects all ages, not just students. Still, one cannot help but wonder whether any antibullying initiatives are nothing more than exercises in futility. Despite the efforts to stop bullying, there are reports of abusive behaviour in the news each year. Other incidents do not gain the same attention, but they still take their toll on those involved. The story of Amanda Todd is one example of what can happen when bullying goes unchecked. But there are other stories too, some from right here in Summerland. They might not have ended as tragically as Todd’s story, but the victims have been seriously affected by what they have suffered. Over the years, many have spoken out against bullying and many more will agree with that message. There is something to be said for raising the profile of an ongoing problem. Still, talk is cheap. A strong statement against bullying is meaningless unless it also results in a change of attitudes and a change of actions. This involves challenging some long-held ideas and behaviours. At best, it will prove to be a long and difficult task.

Winter made its appearance in Summerland on Sunday evening and Monday morning with a blanketing of snow, but the roads were quickly cleared. The municipal crews and highways crews responsible for snow removal deserve kudos for their work. Without their quick response, the entire community would have come to a standstill as a result of the snowfall.

Salmon mystery far from solved VICTORIA – Before the 1,200-page, $25-million Cohen Commission report on the Fraser River sockeye salmon fishery slips beneath the waves, allow me to dip my toe into the river of data that has flowed by in the past three years. If your information on this hugely complex subject consisted of skimming a few news stories or watching protesters on Tom Fletcher TV, you will likely conclude what urban people have been indoctrinated with for years. The whole issue is salmon farms and whether they are bad or catastrophic. “Freeze new salmon farms on sockeye migration route: Cohen” said the headline on a Black Press report. Those who read past the headline would learn that Justice Bruce Cohen recommended a freeze on further salmon farms around the Discovery Islands group near Campbell River until 2020. It’s up to the industry to show by that time that the risk is “minimal,” or farms there should be shut down. A B.C. Salmon Farming Association spokesman said only nine of 70 B.C. salmon farms are in that area. There are no current applications for more. Let’s say you decide to plunge in, and download the full report from www.cohencommission.ca. If you go to Volume 2, page 102, you will see a series of graphs that show sockeye runs from rivers other than the Fraser, from Washing-

ton all the way up to Alaska. It’s not a pretty sight. From Washington up to the Central Coast, the Skeena, Nass and up to Yukon’s Klukshu and Alaska’s Alsek, most runs show a decline starting in the 1980s or early 1990s. This includes runs that migrate down the west side of Vancouver Island, away from salmon farms. Alaska doesn’t allow farms, preferring “ranching” – a strategy that floods the ocean habitat with millions of hatchery fish. These are commercially fished

it. Cohen’s report makes it clear that the problem is far larger than could possibly be explained by salmon farms. How about logging impact? Cohen concludes after much testimony that stream protection has improved significantly during the time of observed sockeye decline. Impact from extra runoff due to pine beetle infestation couldn’t be evaluated. Poaching on the Fraser? Cohen didn’t get around to that. His biggest concern was climate change, warming sensi-

From Washington up to the Central Coast, the Skeena, Nass and up to Yukon’s Klukshu and Alaska’s Alsek, most runs show a decline starting in the 1980s or early 1990s. and marketed as “wild.” B.C.’s North Coast has never had salmon farms. The area has been subject to a moratorium since an NDP-controlled legislative committee gave its verdict on the problem in 2008. The popular villain in those days was sea lice. Skeena MLA Robin Austin chaired the committee that called for an end to open-pen salmon farms in five years. Then-agriculture minister Pat Bell approved one NDP recommendation, a moratorium on salmon farms in North Coast waters. This was after the Pacific Salmon Forum conducted its own four-year study, led by former fisheries minister John Fraser. Similar to Cohen, Fraser concluded that there is no simple answer to this complex problem. And they agreed that salmon farms don’t explain

tive river waters and affecting ocean conditions. During the Cohen commission hearings, the 2010 Fraser sockeye run came in gangbusters, with 35 million fish. One leading theory is that ash from an Alaska volcano fertilized the ocean, producing algae that supported more salmon feed. Could it be that salmon ranching from Alaska, Japan and elsewhere is simply depleting the food supply? That too is inconclusive. Finally, Tides Canada, a U.S. front group that diverts attention from U.S. salmon and oil tankers, spent $25,000 to publicize Cohen evidence. But only as it relates to B.C. salmon farms, and how bad they are. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

culls

Utility rate increases are a fact of life as there are plenty of costs involved in paying for the services we enjoy. Still, the latest electrical rate increase, at 4.2 per cent, is not pleasant. The rate increase would be far easier to take if wages also increased slightly. When wages remain flat, even a small utility increase will be noticeable. While there is no way to prevent these increases, we urge residents to look into various conservation methods as a way to offset the effects of the increase in power rates.

Water meter meeting disappointing

Dear Editor: This is an open letter to the Summerland Mayor and council. I attended the public meeting on Oct. 29 regarding the placing of meters on agriculture water on small

acreages. I can only describe it as a farce. There were no chairs set out, no coordination for questions but there were posters put on stands that were to answer our questions, I suppose.

Two municipal employees were present, however, they just stood and answered whatever questions that were put to them. It was not possible to get near enough to ask them any

questions due to the number of people surrounding them, and it was extremely difficult to hear their answers to the questions that were put to them. It was readily apparent that the

decisions had been made and they were there to explain the decisions. What was conspicuous by their absence was the fact that no elected officials were present. Apparently they feel the hired help

should take the heat for them. At the present time unless your property has two arable acres and is either a farm or in the ALR you will not be getting any further agriculture water. It is my

The Early years

Our Motto: Cleanliness and Comfort

Hotel Summerland, built by the Summerland Development Company, was an impressive structure--the pride of the town. Constructed in 1902 on the corner of Shaughnessy and Ninth (just across from where the Trout Hatchery is now) the two-storey building had 25 rooms, a billiard room, a large dining room, and a sample room where travelling salesmen could show their products. It was advertised as “Overlooking the Beautiful Okanagan Lake, Elegantly Furnished, Modern Conveniences, Boating, Bathing, Fishing, Health, Comfort, Pleasure.” The hotel welcomed visitors for 23 years until it was destroyed by fire around midnight on Nov. 14, 1925.

understanding that if you want a meter it will cost $30 a month for the meter plus the domestic water rate of $30 a month minimum. This is over and above the residential water. This versus the no cost meter and $137 an acre that ALR or farm property gets. One does not need to be a mathematical genius to know this cost will be prohibitive. We live in Garnett Valley and are in an interface area. The fire officials suggest we keep a green space around our buildings to protect them against a possible forest fire. Pretty tough to do with a garden hose. There were approximately 75 people at this meeting and, although I did not do an exit poll, I did not see anyone that was happy with what was transpiring. In my opinion, the water bylaw regarding agriculture water on .5 to two acre properties needs to be revisited. Perhaps this time the people this is affecting should be allowed some input instead of the high handed way it has been handled far. Wayne Chenery Summerland

Chamber sought experienced photographers Dear Editor: I am writing in response to the recent letter written by Stephanie Seaton regarding the Tourism Advisory Committee’s choice of branding consultants and photographers for the ongoing tourism branding initiative. The Summerland Chamber of Economic Development and Tourism’s Tourism Advisory Committee is a group of Summerland individuals representing 16 community stake-

holder groups engaged in the tourism industry. At this time the TAC is working with the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association on a branding initiative that also includes a comprehensive image bank of iconic Summerland scenes. The project is co-funded by TOTA, SCEDT and the District of Summerland and is one of two branding initiatives underway in the region that will reflect the newly released

10-year Thompson Okanagan Tourism Strategy. The Requests for Proposals were quite specific in terms of the specialized experience required to apply on the project given that this pilot is one that will establish best practises to assist in the development of resources for other regional communities. The deadline for applications was also quite specific. Applicants who had the required experience and who

met the RFP deadline were shortlisted. The TAC met on Oct. 10 to review the proposals and portfolios of shortlisted applicants and made their selections. Three of the winning proponents are from within the region and one proponent is a Summerland photographer who has done an excellent job. As an extension of her unfounded complaints, Ms. Seaton has implied that the chamber does not buy local.

As vice-president of the chamber board, I can state with confidence that more than 90 per cent of the chamber’s annual budget is spent in Summerland. Local retailers, printers, sign makers, restaurants, caterers, consultants, handy men, roofers, etc., as well as our four local staff persons can attest to this. Brett DeWitt, Chair Tourism Advisory Committee of SCEDT Summerland

Severance policy questioned by Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark has questioned a decision made in

secret by an all-party committee to extend $127,000 in severance pay to MLAs who are recalled by voters. The decision was made in February

2011, at a time when recall campaigns were targeting B.C. Liberal MLAs over the imposition of the harmonized sales tax. It was belatedly

disclosed in minutes from the Legislative Assembly Management Committee, which began public disclosure of its proceedings this fall after a critical report from B.C. Auditor General John Doyle. The severance amount equals 15 months of an MLA’s base salary, which was frozen at $101,859 a year in 2010, when the B.C. government imposed a two-year freeze on public service salaries. Severance has been available to MLAs defeated in elections since 2007, and also to those who retire at election time before reaching six years in office, when they becoming eligible for a lucrative pension. Clark was asked Thursday about extending severance to recalled MLAs.

She said the government doesn’t control the committee, which is chaired by legislative speaker Bill Barisoff and has both B.C. Liberal and NDP members. Clark added she has not had an opportunity to speak to committee members. Barisoff, MLA for Penticton, was one of the B.C. Liberals targeted in anti-HST recall efforts that fell short. Barisoff defended the decision Thursday, telling reporters that MLAs who are recalled because of cabinet decisions rather than personal misconduct deserve severance so they can make the transition to another job. The committee decided in 2007 to raise MLA pay to the current level, and set a formula for cost-ofliving increases.

Bylaws

Rezoning read

Council gave second and third readings to a bylaw amending the Official Community Plan and rezoning the property at 14806 Biagioni Ave. The rezoning will allow for the construction of the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Kingdom Hall. At a public hearing, residents living near the site said they wanted the Kingdom Hall for a neighbour. “We see the value they bring to our community,” said John Donnelly, who lives near the site. Several members of council opposed the rezoning, since they believe the land should be used for tourist commercial purposes. “In my opinion, it is not the highest and best use of the land,” said Coun. Bruce Hallquist. “I think we’re giving away a big opportunity for Summerland.” The bylaw passed with Hallquist, Coun. Lloyd Christopherson and Coun. Orv Robson opposed.

Zoning changes read

Council gave second and third readings to a housekeeping text amendment to the zoning bylaw. The amendment affects agricultural uses. Coun. Lloyd Christopherson voted against the bylaw.

Court hears of police sting on chat room by Kristi Patton Black Press

A former casual employee of the Okanagan Skaha School District is on trial this week in Penticton on charges of luring a child. Stephen Hughes, who was a Summerland resident at the time of his arrest on June 17, said in a video recorded statement taken by the RCMP’s Integrated Child Exploitation Unit (ICE) that he knew he wasn’t online chatting with a 13-year-old girl in a Yahoo chat room and was expecting a knock on his door from the police someday. “I knew who I was talking to right

from the beginning but you always push the envelope,” said Hughes in the video statement. “I took it way too far, I was playing with fire.” An RCMP constable working with the Surrey ICE unit created the persona Vicki Cooper, a 13-year-old girl who went by the screen name GorgeousVicki1998 when a conversation was initiated by Hughes. The chats between the two lasted months, before ICE members obtained a search warrant for Hughes’ residence and arrested him. The ICE team member, who preferred her name not be published as she does undercover

work, said to set up an online persona you have to be 18 years old but the age is not verified, other than the user clicking on a box saying they are that age. In the video statement she indicated Hughes had been told several times that the Vicki Cooper persona he was chatting with was a 13-year-old girl. She also said Hughes was counselling Vicki how to masturbate. The ICE constable told Hughes that the laws for luring a child are different in Canada than what might more commonly be known in the U.S. because of the Dateline program To Catch A Predator where busts are set up of adults meeting

with teens after they have chatted online. In Canada, she said, when things turn sexual within a chat it is considered child luring and they do not have to physically meet. Hughes said he would never hurt a child and he knew the person he was chatting with wasn’t 13 years old because of what they were saying and the sentence structure they used. “I knew I was making a mistake when I started and I knew halfway through … I’m sorry to everyone,” said Hughes in the statement. Earlier this week defence counsel Emmet Duncan cross-examined the man’s wife who he is

now separated from. During the questioning, Judge Gale Sinclair heard that the couple had moved to Summerland from Slave Lake, away from Hughes’ family and friends. The wife said Hughes did not have any friends in Summerland, had lost self-confidence and grown lonely as she had worked long days while he sat waiting for work as a casual certified education assistant replacing those tak-

Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-op terminates top managers by Steve Kidd Black Press

After four seasons of mediocre returns, a local fruit grower wasn’t surprised by a shake up in the top ranks of the Okanagan Tree Fruit Cooperative last week. Summerland grower Joe Sardinha thinks that given the frustration level in the industry, the termination of two top managers at the OTFC may have been inevitable. Last Thursday, Rob Dawson, a Kelowna grower and president of the coop’s board of directors, notified OTFC CEO Gary Schiek that the board had approved a non-confidence motion and his employment was terminated. Operations manager Rod Vint was terminated at the same time. “That’s not to say Gary Schieck and Rod Vint weren’t committed to their positions,” said Sardinha, who thinks that grower frustration fuelled an outcry for a change in direction. That change in direction comes in the from of Alan Tyabji, who took over as CEO immediately. “He is no stranger to the industry,” said

Sardinha. “He has a good solid background in co-op management and he is no stranger to B.C. Tree Fruits as well.” Tyabji had been manager of the Okanagan Similkameen Co-operative, which was amalgamated with three other valley tree fruit co-ops in 2008 to form the OTFC, which he led

for a short time as CEO before leaving to pursue other interests. Tyabji will also be CEO of B.C. Tree Fruits, which is part of the OTFC. “Whether or not these changes result in a better picture remains to be seen, but this year the market outlook is very positive, so we won’t see anything

dramatic in terms of new management and what improvements are going to be made in that regard this year,” said Sardinha. “Alan has also said that this year is a bright spot and the true test of the changes that he wants to make is going to come next year and subsequent years”

ing sick days or away for other reasons. She also said her husband was extremely stubborn when it came to researching a topic, or was out to prove something. Hughes said part of the reason he kept chatting with the person he knew as Vicki Cooper was that he liked that somebody would “pay a little attention” to him, and because he dealt with kids, that it was easy to talk to them because “they don’t

Plenty planned for 25th Festival of Lights As we all know, celebrating a 25 year accomplishment in any walk of life is an achievement. Here at the Chamber, we feel the same way about planning the Silver

Anniversary of the Festival of Lights. When we discussed what the 25th Anniversary Light Up could look like, we wanted to incorporate many of the clas-

sics that our town has known and loved. But we also wanted to shake things up a bit and introduce some new and fun things – first to acknowledge that we’re celebrating

a very special anniversary; secondly, to showcase our Downtown and our local businesses, and, last but not least, let our visitors know that Summerland is a great place to live where families and young people can have a wonderful experience. Today’s column is designed to pique your interest in what will be a great Light Up evening on Nov. 30 and a great weekend with the return of Light Up the Vines. There are some activities that we just couldn’t do without. These include: the biggest and best Fireworks display ever, sponsored by the Summerland Credit Union, and this year set to music; Elvis and mini donuts; meeting all our friends on Main Street and listening to local performers; the annual ‘Season Sparkles’ art show at the Summerland Art Gallery; taking your children to the ever popular Santa's Workshop in the Summerland

Credit Union building; photos with Santa — this year at True Grain Bread; enjoying delicious fajitas grilled by Nesters and shaking it all around in the bouncy castles, and on the ATV and pony rides. New activities for this year include: a post fireworks performance on the Main Stage starring Canadian pop/rock star Andrew Allen. And look for a new Twitter Wall; a Shadow Wall created by Valleywide Home Improvements; the official Festival Gingerbread Man baked by True Grain; a Marshmallow Roast hosted by the Royal Bank; Letters to Santa at the Post Office; LED Snowflake Head Boppers and Snowflake Wands; an Official Snowflake Bead in partnership with Bead Trails; and a special Christmas Craft Fair and Open House at Summerland Seniors Village from 2 to 4 p.m. 25 years ago, some creative and

Arlene Fenrich thoughtful individuals developed the Festival of Lights as a great event for Summerland. In honor of the 25th Anniversary, one of these families, the Hallquists, are making a gift to the community of live ice carving displays. These will be found at two locations downtown and it will be amazing. Thank you Hallquists! Don’t forget that the Bottleneck Drive Winery Association is hosting the second annual Light Up the Vines event on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 1 and 2. The Summerland Waterfront Resort has great week-

end packages so your out-of-town friends can enjoy the weekend in style. And, of course, there will be great local shopping at our downtown merchants. You won’t want to miss this weekend, Summerland! The posters are up around town and our Festival homepage at www.summerlandchamber.com and our Facebook page will give you all the details and times of events so you can stay connected. We’re looking forward to seeing you all on Friday, Nov. 30. Happy 25th everyone! We always appreciate your feedback.

For an electrical

the cost of electricity will increase from

$106.47 in 2012 to $110.94 beginning in

January. The increase will

bring in around $350,000 in additional

revenues, which will offset the increased power purchase costs and additional labour and materials costs, Ostraat said. Despite the increase, Ostraat said Summerland electrical customers are receiving a better deal than they would get if they dealt directly with Fortis for their electrical needs. “If we look at the typical residential customer in Summerland and compare the rates from FortisBC, our customer would pay $110.94 for one month’s consumption in 2013 whereas they would pay $120.06 if they were a Fortis customer,” he said.

Wine event planned for light-up Wine connoisseurs will be able to sample some of Summerland’s wines during the Festival of Lights weekend later this month. The Light Up the Vines wine tasting event will be held on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 1 and 2. The event is organized by the Bottleneck Drive wineries and several Summerland businesses. “This year, indi-

vidual businesses are seeing the potential,” Lisa Jaager said. Last year, the first Light Up the Vines event was organized through the Summerland Chamber of Economic Development and Tourism. Jaager said the event was well received. “It’s nice to do something that’s just for fun,” she said. “It’s exciting. You can see so many happy people.”

Providing trades training for youths Following our recent Nov. 11 Remembrance Day I wish to again convey deep appreciation to our veterans for their sacrifices in making our country and our province strong , free and safe in our ever turbulent world. We will not forget.

Thanks to all who participated in community ceremonies and who supported our veterans through donations and the poppy drive. The province has announced further information on how youth can get a head start on engaging

in a trade. They can start on a career in the trades while still in high school with one of several trade apprenticeship paths combining onthe-job training and classroom learning. This will provide the opportunity to start in the workforce and get

a pay cheque while learning a trade. In addition to apprenticeship training, students can earn high school credits. This will certainly open future job opportunities for youth and will help fill the need for a significant number of trades and technical personnel anticipated due to anticipated future economic growth and the need to fill positions as the baby boomer population moves on to retirement. For more information feel free to contact our office. The first auditor general for local government has now been appointed. The position was originally suggested by B.C. business groups and was discussed with the Union of B.C. Municipalities at their recent convention. The Auditor General for Local Government will conduct performance audits of local government services and provide recommenda-

tions about how to find efficiencies and improve the effectiveness of operations. The AGLG will make non-binding re c o m m e n d a t i o n s based on performance audits and publicize best practices adopted by local governments. After listening to many recipients of the community gaming grants and the recommendations of the Community Gaming Grant Review released last January, there is now a shorter, simpler application form for local organizations throughout the province for re-applying for community gaming grants. Based on public input, the review made recommendations to help nonprofit organizations continue to provide community-based services that benefit families, citizens and local economies throughout the province. Again this year, there will be $135 million for these grants. For further information contact our office or request the new form from the Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch: www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/

Bill Barisoff gaming. There has now been a clarification of the situation related to auctioning wine at charity fundraisers. The current law is to be approached in a common sense way. Charitable non-profit or community organizations can auction off gift baskets containing privately donated wine if the donated liquor is one of a number of items in a gift basket and was received as part of a general solicitation for auction items. The matter is being reviewed for a potential change to the current legislation. Finally, a long standing concern of remote communities and areas currently without affordable highspeed internet is being further addressed. An

announcement has just been made seeking partners to take part in the B.C. Broadband Satellite Initiative. There will be an investment of up to two million dollars through 2016-17 to leverage the latest generation of satellite technology. This will make access to high-speed internet connections available to residents of remote areas where service is not currently available. Under the initiative, citizens who qualify for the program would receive funding assistance for both installation and set-up costs. This will provide families and businesses in remote regions with a wide range of new social and economic benefits such as improved access to public and government services like e-health and e-learning. A Request For Expressions of Interest has been posted on the BCBid website looking for a partner to deliver this much needed service. To learn more visit: bcbid.gov.bc.ca.

Concert held for Canada Music Week The Canadian Federation of Music Teachers’ Associations celebrates Canada Music Week during the third week of November which includes Nov. 22, the day honouring St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music. The aims of Canada Music Week are: o to introduce con-

temporary music to Canadian students and to stimulate a keener appreciation of this music. o to encourage music teachers to widen their knowledge and experience of Canadian works. o to support composers and performers of Canadian works.

o to bring to the attention of the public, through various means, the importance of Canadian Music. o to emphasize not only Canadian work but also the significance of music in our society in general. The South Okanagan Branch of the B.C. Registered Music

Teachers’ Association has fifteen members that live in the communities of Summerland, Penticton, Naramata, Kaleden, Oliver and Osoyoos. They teach a variety of instruments and music courses. Ernst Schneider from Penticton and Anita Perry from Summerland are two

resident composers in the branch who have published music. They are members of the Canadian Music Centre and several of their compositions are available in the graded conservatory books as well as separate volumes and sheet music. This year on Nov. 24, the South Okanagan Branch is planning a special Canada Music Week Gala Concert at the Cleland Community Theatre in Penticton starting at 7 p.m. This gala will honour the two composers.

There will be solo and ensemble music played by students ranging in age from five to 18 years. All the compositions will be the works of these two composers. During the month of October, master classes will be arranged for the students to work with the composers and learn the background of each piece. The composers will be present at the gala and have an opportunity to speak to the performers and the audience. The teachers in the branch are very excit-

ed about this project. It is an incredible opportunity for students to meet a live composer and actually interact with one as they learn their composition. The organizers are very appreciative of the financial support from the Penticton Arts Council in the form of a grant. This will help defray the costs of such an endeavour. Tickets are available in Penticton from the Arts Council Office at Leir House or from any South Okanagan Registered Music Teacher.

ees and Ken Boothe was the mayor. The Aquatic Centre was built before Penticton or West Kelowna had indoor swimming pools and the arena was replacing the old arena that was located by the badminton hall. Now if we look at our facilities knowing they are almost 37 years old, we must compliment our Recreation department staff. The facilities are clean and very well maintained, what we see and what we can’t see. The mechanical equipment, motors, heaters and piping are maintained and

used to their maximum. With major upgrades to the ice plant and heat recovery system at the arena we have many years to use the facility. At some time in the future the aquatic centre will need to be replaced as it becomes too expensive to replace a pool tank, underground piping and meet health and safety regulations. It always amazes me when I hear someone say that they have never been to the pool. The staff provides more than public swims; we have special movie nights, loonie swims, sen-

She is ranked second in the province and 16th in Canada in her sport. Baron’s coach, Manuel Belmonte, said she has been training hard.Earlier this month, she was at a training camp which was held in Richmond. She has also attended other training events in Vancouver. She has also worked with the Italian team coach during an earlier camp in Winnipeg. “The training is difficult and I’ve gone quite far with it,” she said. Baron has been involved in fencing for the past six years. At present, she spends three hours a week in training. She also spends time walking for additional conditioning. “I would love to make it to the Olympics,” she said. This weekend, she will be back in Richmond for the Canada Cup qualification competition.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ernieâ&#x20AC;? Ernest John Sutherland

17 September 1921 to 7 November 2012

After a long life blessed with friendship and the love of his best friend, Audrey, Ernie died peacefully, without a fuss, on Wednesday, November 7. He lived in Summerland, at La Vista, for 20 years. He and Audrey married in 1945. It was true love from the start. They lived in Vancouver, Edmonton, Burnaby and Kelowna before settling in Summerland - which gave them another batch of wonderful friends, plus the wonderful library, Cake Box Bakery, Ziaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Besides Audrey, Ernie leaves behind a son Brian and his wife Margot of Vancouver, grandson Brett and wife Lori of Kelowna, grandson Glen and wife Nicky of Langley and their children. Ernie would want the people of Summerland to know how much he appreciated your friendship and kind words, especially during his daily walks around town. No service will be held. No flowers please.

MATTHEWS, Rev. Robert Gregory â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of Osoyoos, British Columbia, has gone home to the house of the Lord Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at the age of 85 years, his loving family by his side. Bob was predeceased by his wife of 55 years, Jacqueline and his brother Frederick. He is survived by two sons, Greg of Vancouver; Doug (Nicole) of Osoyoos and one daughter, Michele (Jerry) Brewis of 100 Mile House, three grandchildren; Stephanie, Michael and Kevin, brother Henry (Marnie) of Hamilton, Ontario; brother-in-law John (Myrna) Blossom of Vernon. Bob was born in Toronto Ontario and delighted in telling the stories of his youth. He graduated from St. Chadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Theological College in Regina and was ordained in 1954, thus beginning a 40 year career in the Anglican Christian Ministry, which took him and his family from parishes in Ontario to Alberta and back, eventually coming to British Columbia, where his last fulltime parish was at St. Stephenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Summerland, a post he held for 25 years. He retired from active ministry in 1994. Bob always had a quick smile and enjoyed telling a good joke to all who would listen. He will be remembered for his kindness, generosity, patience, love of dogs, and an amazing sense of humour, which was evident right up to his last days. He had a sweet tooth and especially enjoyed jelly beans and Tim Hortonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Iced Caps. He was so very appreciative of his dear friends and family, and he will be missed by everyone he loved. A Celebration of Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held 10:00 A.M. Tuesday, November 13th, 2012 at St. Stephens Anglican Church. 9311 Prairie Valley Road, Summerland, British Columbia. With Archbishop John Privett and Reverend Rick Paulin officiating. Private Interment to follow in St. Stephenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memorial Rose Garden. Memorial Donations may be made in Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory to the BCSPCA Penticton Branch, 2200 Dartmouth Drive, Penticton, BC V2A 7W7.
