John Arendt Summerland Review

Workers set up a barrier on a portion of Lakeshore Drive. The barrier will contain dirt and debris from minor landslides in the area. In the past, the road has been closed numerous times because of minor slides there. Lakeshore Drive is the only access to the Crescent Beach area.

Barrier erected to control landslides by John Arendt

A concrete barrier and a fence along a portion of Lakeshore Drive will minimize the effects of minor landslides in the area. The barrier was erected last week along a portion of the road which has been closed

because of slides in the past. Don Darling, director of works and utilities for the municipality, said slides in the past have blocked the road, requiring crews to respond immediately to clear the silt and debris. Lakeshore Drive is the only access road into the Crescent

Beach area. Darling said the barrier will hold the debris until crews can come to clean it up. However, a major slide would still block the road. “It’s not going to prevent slides and it’s not going to stop a big slide,” he said.

The policy governing Summerland’s cemeteries has been reviewed and a new bylaw has been drafted. The review came after municipal workers removed items from graves at Canyon View Cemetery earlier this year, during a clean-up initiative. The removal sparked outrage from many in the community. As a result, municipal council and staff held open houses and asked for comments from the community on how to best manage the three cemeteries maintained by the municipality. “It was a terrible thing that happened, but we now have something positive coming from it,” said Mayor Janice Perrino. “We want people to be able to cherish their loved ones in a respectful way, but also that the cemetery has a good look for everyone.” Under the changed bylaw, offerings may be left at a site at the cemetery if they are located on the concrete base at least 50 millimetres from the edge of the base and of sufficient weight to keep from being blown off the base by the wind. Items such as plastics which will easily fade and stuffed animals which can become an nesting ground for rodents, maggots or insects are discouraged. Some items, such as necklaces, small stones and marbles which can become entangled in maintenance equipment are prohibited. Also prohibited are items which will extend or grow into the landscaped area, easily breakable objects or pointed or sharp objects which may present a safety hazard. In addition, the municipality will set up information pamphlets at the entrances to Canyon View Cemetery as well as revised signs to reflect the changes to the bylaw. Sandwich boards will also be set up at the entrances to the cemetery to provide information about the bylaw.

Youth initiatives presented Untattered by John Arendt

The success of the Summerland Asset Development Initiative has piqued interest from other communities. Earlier this month, members of the Summerland youth organization travelled to Burnaby to present at the B.C. Crime Prevention Symposium. They were invited

to speak about how the youth organization has helped to prevent crime and high-risk behaviour in the community. While Summerland has had a low crime rate before the youth organization was formed, Laceydawn Loeppky, youth activities coordinator at the centre, said youth are avoiding dangerous behaviours.

“It prevents future high-risk behaviour,” she said. Loeppky brought John Rousseau, an earlier Summerland Secondary School graduate, who spoke about how the organization helped him make wise decisions when he was in high school. Another student, Haley Smed, in Grade 10, spoke about how the organ-

ization has helped her. Loeppky said Summerland has worked to help youths to improve developmental assets, or qualities young people need to avoid risks and to thrive. The message was well received at the symposium. Loeppky said other communities are looking at following Summerland’s lead.

In Merritt, organizers are working at starting a similar service for youth. The success of the Summerland program speaks to the commitment of the community to its youths, Loeppky said. “We’re fortunate people care so much about students that something like this would run,” she said.

flag to fly Complaints raised after Remembrance Day ceremony by John Arendt After hearing complaints about the tattered flag which flew in Memorial Park on Remembrance Day the municipality will take measures to ensure that a new flag is flown for important ceremonies in the future. “I was shocked to see how tattered, torn and discoloured the flag was,” said Mayor Janice Perrino. “It was disrespectful.” She added that she

had not realized the flag was in poor condition before the ceremony began. “I would have grabbed the flag from Municipal Hall had I known,” she said. In the days following Remembrance Day, municipal staff and officials have received calls from people disappointed with the condition of the flag that had been flown. A new flag was put up on Nov. 13 and flags will be replaced roughly every six months as well as for Canada Day on July 1 and Remembrance Day on Nov. 11.

On the road

Workers pave a portion of Prairie Valley Road as part of an upgrade project. Work on the road and a roundabout will now stop for the winter, but will resume in spring.

Road upgrade halts for winter by John Arendt Crews are winding down their work on the Prairie Valley Road upgrade project for the winter. On Friday, the portion of the road from Wharton Street to Victoria Road South was paved. Lines will be painted on the road and some streetlights will be added. The rest of the

work on the upgrade project will resume in mid-February, said Don Darling director of works and utilities for the municipality. The road work includes widening the road, adding a roundabout intersection at Prairie Valley Road and Victoria Road South and water diversion work.

Summerland Legion is having a dance

The total cost of the work is $3.8 million. At present, $2.99 million is already in the municipality’s accounts. The improvements also include sidewalks and bike lanes. Congestion and long lineups at the intersection of Prairie Valley Road and

Victoria Road South have been problems in the community for many years. To accommodate the roundabout, an old house at the corner must be torn down. The Summerland Heritage Advisory Commission had earlier said the house

had heritage value and had explored options to preserve it, either by moving it to another property or by relocating it on its existing site. Darling said asbestos had been used in the house and had to be removed before it could be taken down.

Computers and the new software and technology that has accompanied them have had a huge impact on all our daily lives. Well, the Legal system is no different. Computers now occupy most Lawyer's desks and absolutely all of our Secretaries' desks. In addition to revolutionizing word processing and research techniques, computers and their related technologies have created a huge new range of questions to be answered in the fields of Privacy, Publishing, Censorship and Trademarks to name a few. It will be some time before Courts can decide on the parameters and rules to be put in place to govern these areas. Many people in the legal community have realized that the technology is changing and expanding so fast that the game may change before the rules are in place. Let's hope that the new technology not only raises the questions but also helps the system quickly determine the answers.

our pick

Regulating cemeteries After items were removed from gravesites at Canyon View Cemetery earlier this year, the municipality has created a new bylaw governing its cemeteries. The removal of the items sparked plenty of outrage from the community. The items had been left on the graves as a way for some to remember friends and family members buried there. The new bylaw sets out the rules for what can be placed at a grave. For some, placing an object at a grave is an important part of the grieving process. For others, it is not they way they remember a loved one. There are also some who do not visit a grave once a burial has taken place. Each of us deals with grief in our own way. While it would be tempting to simply pass a bylaw allowing anyone to place anything at a grave, the regulations are needed for several reasons. First some items may attract insects or animals, which results in a problem affecting the entire cemetery. Second, while some items seem to belong at a cemetery, others may simply appear cheap, especially if they fade over time. Other objects may present safety hazards or they may be caught in landscaping and maintenance equipment. The presence of items on an individual grave must be considered along with the effect of such items on the atmosphere of the entire cemetery. The incident which led to the cemetery bylaw review was not pleasant. Neither was the review of the old bylaw as the new bylaw was formed. However, the process has forced all of us in Summerland to consider how we choose to grieve and how we choose to remember loved ones. The new bylaw reflects these differences and allows Summerlanders to deal with grief on our own terms.

The Summerland Asset Development Initiative’s work with youth in the community has garnered attention from around the province. Earlier this month, members of the youth organization were invited to Burnaby to speak at the B.C. Crime Prevention Symposium. Some of the work done by the organization is helping young people to make wise decisions for their futures.

Reality check on teen suicide VICTORIA – If you find Premier Christy Clark’s campaign against teen bullying to be superficial or even self-serving, I’ve got news for you. It’s potentially worse than that. With the greatest respect to the family of Amanda Todd, her tragic case isn’t representative of teen suicide any more than it is typical of high-school bullying. A clearer and Tom Fletcher more disturbing picture emerges from the latest report of B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth, Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond. It’s a survey of 89 child protection cases from 2007 to 2010, where 15 kids killed themselves and the rest inflicted serious selfinjury, in some cases repeatedly. The word “bully” does not appear in the report. It speaks of domestic violence, physical and sexual abuse, addiction, and runaways targeted by street predators. Three quarters of the kids were removed from their homes to protect them from their parents. More than half are aboriginal. Its key conclusion is that shifting traumatized and mentally ill teens from institutional care to foster homes isn’t working. Earnest but inadequately trained foster parents and social workers can’t cope with kids who need diagnosis, treatment and supervision. Without that, kids shuffled through foster homes an average of a dozen times in three

years, with little attachment to home or school. Some were violent, no surprise given their formative years. I asked Turpel-Lafond about the B.C. government’s recent focus on bullying. She said it’s worthwhile, and there are parallels between Amanda’s case and more common teen suicides. One is isolation at moments of crisis. “Say you’re a middleclass parent with a child who hasn’t come out of their bedroom in six months, or you

label them again?” This is not to suggest that the existing B.C. effort isn’t substantial. The ministry reports that there are 2,221 front-line staff positions, of which 219 are currently vacant. It’s notoriously difficult to recruit, train and keep child protection workers, especially in remote communities. Turpel-Lafond says her latest figures show the child and youth mental health service has 476 staff, with 21 vacancies and a government-wide hiring freeze. And many of those are

Earnest but inadequately trained foster parents and social workers can’t cope with kids who need diagnosis, treatment and supervision. have a boy in foster care who’s in his 14th home,” she said. “They both want to kill themselves, so what do you do?” Ideally, you intervene and get them to a child psychologist. Parents or guardians who can’t afford $150 an hour can wait months for the Ministry of Children and Family Development to arrange it. And in the meantime, our supposedly family-based foster care system sends them to school. “I’m really worried about how [school-based anti-bullying programs] will affect the most vulnerable kids, because you start anonymously reporting someone as being a bully,” Turpel-Lafond said. “Yeah, we know they’re in the youth justice system. We know they’re troubled. By the way, they’ve been sexually and physically abused, jumped through 30 foster homes, and now we want to

doing double duty as community service managers. Those managers don’t even have reliable data on case loads, she said. They just know they’re overwhelmed and many of the kids aren’t being reached. This is not about political blame. I can trace this problem back to when Grace McCarthy was children’s minister, and the NDP did no better. I’ve learned a bit about Riverview and Tranquille, asylums that were closed because of a modern belief that they were inhumane. At least they offered safety and medical care to even the most damaged people. Right now our enlightened, progressive society can’t even help most of the kids we know are at high risk.

culls

With the current dark, foggy, rainy and snow conditions, drivers need all the help they can to see other vehicles. Daytime running lights, which have been required on vehicles sold in Canada for more than 20 years, make vehicles more visible. A vehicle travelling without daytime running lights can be hard to see for a driver pulling out from a stop or yield sign, turning against traffic or merging on a highway. The requirements for daytime running lights have not been heavily enforced for a variety of reasons, but maybe it is time they were.

Condition of flag was disappointing

Dear Editor: My husband and I had out of town guests who came to visit especially to attend the Remembrance Day ceremonies with us. The gentleman is a retired RCMP officer. We were all pleased to see the

great turnout of local residents. However, we were disappointed in the condition of the flag that was flying, with the edges all tattered. Surely the city could have put up a new flag for this momentous occasion. Also, the PA sys-

tem was, from where we were standing, virtually useless. We could not hear anything said and had no idea who was laying the wreaths. This should also be replaced. Possibly the city should review where they are spend-

ing our taxpayers’ money, such as a third roundabout and a new curved sidewalk in front of the firehall. Some of these expenditures, in my opinion, are a little overkill for such a small city. My father was a

World War II veteran. My husband spent 43 years in the armed forces and we have a son, now retired from the navy, who spent two terms in the Persian Gulf. In more than 60 years of attending Remembrance Day ceremonies, it is our

tradition to go the day after the ceremony, just to stand and reflect at the cenotaph. We were absolutely shocked on the morning of Nov. 12 to find all the wreaths had been removed. We have never seen this in any city we

The evolution of football

In 1947 Summerland’s junior football team didn’t resemble today’s football teams in the least. They weren’t quite the brawny steam rollers that will be participating in Sunday’s Grey Cup game, but these fellows probably had more fun and fewer injuries. Our records identify the boys as: (back row) Les Bingham, Mr. Smith (coach), Ken Brawner, Keith Haskins; (second row from top) Rob Keibel, Alf Letts, Jim Logie; (third row from top) Les Abernathy, Daryl Weitzel, Don Adams, Dean Rempel, Earl Bryden; (fourth row) Josh Miller, Ron Richie, Mike Mires; (front) George Grone. By the way, the first Grey Cup in 1909 was won by the University of Toronto Varsity Blues.

Water bills just another tax Dear Editor: The pro forma water invoice is simply a preparatory campaign to dress up a tax under another name. All three levels of government culture and base level of thinking is in ‘revenue streams’ sometimes spun as “resource enhancement” and spending is now called “investment.” Added taxes have been somewhat shifted from mil rates and income taxes to sales taxes and user fees. The methodology is to get a few points on anything people consume in volume by

laying it back on the population that they are consuming too much, so the tax or fee is their fault. Announce it with some lament, and that you reluctantly have been forced to do this. I keep thinking food is next — just a foot-in-the-door at first, but once started would grow gradually over time. I can’t recall any politician in any level of government ever having stood up for taxpayers on the net level of taxation we have to endure in itself. I can recall however that politicians routinely vote for every proposed tax.

At some levels of government we have to finance fantasies and infatuations of authoritarian leaders without representation, which has been squelched. Government now takes over half of our money through one means or another and its growth shows no signs of even slowing. You all don’t fool most of the people, so save the cost of these preparatory phoney invoices and just be flat out honest. You need this tax for what you have spent. Roy Roope Summerland

have lived before. Wreaths are usually left for at least 48 hours, in any kind of weather, as a sign of respect. These thoughts are strictly my own and should be taken as such. Sue Hayes Summerland

Stain seen on flag Dear Editor: Perhaps this is a small item to be grousing about, but I couldn’t help but be surprised and dismayed to notice a dark stain on our Canada flag at the Remembrance Day ceremonies. Not only did it look like it had been run over by a truck, but the ends were terribly frayed. I’m sure that it would be possible to give the thing a good scrubbing and maybe ply a needle and thread before it disintegrates entirely. We Summerlanders are proud Canadians, aren’t we? Anita Perry Summerland

Film examines actions of the Koch Brothers Dear Editor: I don’t know about your other readers, but the election results in the U.S. were certainly satisfying to me. There is nothing like beating the big guys at their own game, and two of the big guys who spent mega-bucks in support of Romney were the Koch brothers.

These guys are almost as rich as the Wal-Mart family. One of the original right-wing Tea Party contributors, they own multi-industries that pollute rivers with cancer-causing chemicals. They fund just about every organization that supports the Republican Party. They give money

to colleges and force their ideology on the professors in order for them to continue getting funds. Not a likeable duo. Come see the documentary The Koch Brothers (exposed), brought to you by the Summerland Film Club, Wednesday, Nov. 28, 7 p.m. at the Rosedale Room. Frank Martens Summerland

Thursday, November 22, 2012 Summerland Review

Help needed for victims of bullying Dear Editor: Your editorial on bullying in last week’s Summerland Review was excellent. The initiative to make Summerland an anti-bullying town is also a very worthwhile cause. I would like to suggest that along with trying to stop bullying from taking place, that we help those people being bullied by teaching them ways to take back their personal power. It has been said that a bully is really a

coward underneath, and someone with low self esteem and very few social skills. They often have been bullied themselves and have learned this behaviour, perhaps even from abusive parents. Having the knowledge that there are things we can do to stand strong against their attacks can be the first step in escaping their torture. In the case of domestic abuse the victim needs to know that they can go before a judge and apply for a restrain-

ing order and have the abuser removed from the home. In the case of an abusive employer the employee may have to resort to using the labour laws against the employer, or else seek other employment. It takes courage and strength to be brave enough to take action, but if you are at your breaking point it is well worth it to escape from the bully. When it comes to cyber bullying it is very simple to block a person from find-

ing you on Facebook and it is also possible to block emails from anyone you don’t want to communicate with. I recently asked a young person “why don’t kids just block the people who are bullying them from their Facebook account?” She answered “because they want to see what the bullies are saying about them.” (When you block someone, you cannot see or find them either.) Herein lies part of the problem. To escape a bully you

must act as if they do not exist. You have to ignore them, and not respond or react to them. You must not engage with them in any way. This too takes great strength to do, but in time if they get no response they lose interest and move on. These ideas may not work in every case, but I know firsthand they do work for some. It may seem like we are not getting anywhere with the problem of bullying, but I see we have made progress albeit slowly.

For instance; it is no longer legal for principals and teachers to strike or strap a student. Parents today no longer believe hitting their children is an acceptable way to discipline them. Child molesters are now held accountable for their actions. The law no longer turns a blind eye towards domestic abuse. We have labour laws in place to protect employees. It is no longer socially acceptable to discriminate against

someone because of race, religion, or sexual orientation. Governments have also been held accountable for past wrongdoings in their treatment of people. I have seen these changes all come about in my lifetime. I believe we will continue to make progress against the bullies of our world, the more we shed light on the problem, by continuing to talk about it and by standing strong together against them.

Dear Editor: We have a very large wooden name sign in our front yard – it’s a sentimental name sign from a deceased brother

– that was recently vandalized by the senseless act of spray painting it with red lettering. While upset at this stupid act, we were

amazed and pleased by the reaction. First there were many people that offered advice on how to fix it and expressed their outrage at such stupidity. We were advised by the police that the ones responsible had also defaced several other public places. Now, imagine our delight when we were approached by

Nick Kast, our Summerland Secondary School wood working teacher, who said the students in the leadership class were also upset by the vandalism to our sign, they felt it “just wasn’t right” and wanted to fix it. We accepted their kind offer and they are restoring our beautiful name sign. We tell people

who complain about youth not respecting much these days about these young people who took it upon themselves to right a wrong. We applaud them and thank them. Our future in this world is indeed in good hands – at least for the most part. So a thump on the head to those misguided miserable cretins in the first place and a huge pat on the back to the leadership students at Summerland Secondary School and Nick Kast, our sincere thanks.

Dear Editor: Are you are among the many Canadians who have numerous concerns about FIPA (the Foreign Investment Protection and Promotion Agreement) with China, wondering exactly who it is protecting and promoting? The prospect of being sued by the Chinese because of losses in a business they invested in, or regulations they perceive as against their interests doesn’t

sound like protecting Canada’s interests. Whatever your concerns are you need to communicate with your MP by letter or in person, to PM Steven Harper by letter or online petition (Leadnow.ca) to not ratify the agreement with China until there is a full and transparent parliamentary review and debate at the least. Hopefully a reconsideration of the whole issue of exporting our raw resources will become part of the discussion. Online petitions have already pushed the PM to delay ratifying the agreement, use the tools available to you, have your democratic voice heard. Keith Ferlin Summerland

First event for Blossom candidates

The candidates for 2013 Summerland Blossom Festival Royalty will make their first public appearance during the 25th anniversary Festival of Lights celebration Nov. 30.

Allehea Bowen Miss Legion Hi, my name is Allehea Bowen, and I am very excited to be Miss Legion this year. I am currently a student at Summerland

Secondary School. I have been dancing for 13 years. I am an active member of my school’s Student Council, I love to bake, and I am in my school’s theatre troupe. I’ve wanted to participate in pageant since I was a little girl watching the Summerland Royalty go by in the parade, and my eagerness to join the program has only increased as the years went by. When I finish my schooling, my goal is to work with people and make a positive difference in the world; whether that’s in psychology, childcare, human services, or a combination of all three, I’m not sure. I am very proud and thankful to be representing the Summerland Legion this year, and I am very excited

to gain all that pageant has to offer.

Outside of school I am fundraising to go on a humanitarian trip to Tanzania, Africa in the summer of 2013. In my spare time I enjoy spending time outdoors exploring the back roads of Summerland and spending quality time with my family.

Natasha Sopow Miss Rotary My name is Natasha Sopow and I am Miss Rotary 2012/2013. I am 16 years old and a student currently enrolled at Summerland Secondary School. I am an active member in the senior leadership class, the Me to We club, and the senior sports teams.

to be this year’s Miss Action Fest. I’m currently a Grade 11 student at Summerland Secondary School and after high school I plan on studying psychology in Vancouver. I’m a part of the school’s musical, Hairspray, and in my free time I love writing and reading. I joined the Blossom Pageant for a unique experience, and to improve my abilities of public speaking. Thank you to the Action Festival for sponsoring me. I’m really looking forward to being a part of this program.

When kids are hungry, it’s hard to learn Over 137,000 BC children are growing up in poverty. BC had the highest rate of child poverty for eight years in a row. It’s past time for the BC government to catch up with other provinces and create a comprehensive poverty reduction plan for BC families. Because there are no band-aid solutions to child poverty.

Secondary are English and physics. My future education goals are to study psychology. In my spare time I love to head up to Apex for snowboarding and bake anything fattening. If I had two wishes they would be that volleyball season lasted longer and have sour cream and onion Pringles at every gas station.

Dara vanderMeulen and I am representing Penny Lane in this year’s Summerland Blossom Pageant. I am very excited to be a part of the pageant because I want to be able to step outside of my comfort zone and to meet new people. I am in Grade 11 at Summerland Secondary School. I enjoy English, art, acting and sciences. Outside of school I take part in theatre productions put on by our school. I also work and I like to sing, write, read and do art when I have time.

I’m also a Rotary exchange student from Bolivia, South America. I’m having an awesome time here and also learning a lot. It’s truly a unique experience. While here I’ve played field hockey, which unluckily already ended, and loved it. I’m also in the play this year and really enjoy it. I like trying new things, as you can tell, and I also love dancing and enjoy reading very much. I am looking forward to the rest of year in Summerland.

I am involved with the Summerland Skating Club as a Canskate Coach and I enjoy playing field hockey and soccer. After high school I am hoping to pursue a degree in business or science.

Fred Steele, the former vice-president of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association, has become the first nominee for president of the group for the coming year. At a meeting last week in Oliver, Steele, a Kelowna area grower, was nominated by growers who are members of the South Okanagan-Similkameen region, one of four in the Okanagan. Incumbent president Kirpal Boparai of Kelowna, who is serving his first year in the president’s position, was not nominated by the 30 or so growers who attended that meeting. However, incumbent vice-president Jeet Dukhia of Vernon was nominated for that position again, but so was former president Joe Sardinha of Summerland, who stepped down from the executive last year after seven years as president. The Okanagan

Tree Fruit Co-operative recently ousted Boparai for breaking his contract by bypassing the packing house system to market his apples i n d e p e n d e n t l y. That ouster was followed by a resolution approved at the co-op annual general meeting to pressure the BCFGA to remove Boparai as president. The South Okanagan growers also nominated Peter Simonsen of Naramata, Denise MacDonald of Summerland and Nirmal Dhaliwal of Oliver to the board. All are incumbent board members. The BCFGA convention is in Penticton on Jan. 19. The OTFC and its marketing arm, B.C. Tree Fruits, also had a major shakeup two weeks ago, when the board of directors chose to terminate both CEO Gary Scheik and Operations manager Rod Vint. Alan Tyabji, who took over as CEO immediately, has already begun making changes.

Ask Your Dentist...

Every time I come to the dentist you find cavities. I really try to look after my teeth. How come I need so many fillings? Melissa P.

Dr. Cindee Melashenko

I know that can be very frustrating Melissa, and you are not alone. Most people experience cavities in their lifetime. Cavities are caused when bacteria are left on our teeth and damage them. Basically, they take the sugar from our diet and convert it to acid. The acid dissolves the hard tooth structure and results in a hole or a cavity. This is an infection that affects everyone differently. Some of us get cavities easily and I refer to it as a “high risk for decay.” Others (sometimes it can even be your sibling) have a low risk for decay. My goal is to determine your risk for decay and then make some suggestions to lower your risk or to continue to keep your risk low. If you come to the office with cavities, we know the bacteria are doing well. First we have to remove the infection by removing the bacteria on your teeth and replacing the damage with fillings. Next, we recommend a fluoride application, help you with cleaning your teeth better, and discuss what foods may be increasing your risk. Once the bacteria are removed we need to change the environment in your mouth to make it unwelcoming for them to come back and cause the same damage. We do this in two steps, first we reduce (or kill) the number of bacteria in your mouth. Then we maintain the pH level in your mouth to be basic not acidic. This will be an ongoing treatment to prevent them from coming back. With good monitoring, we can make your next check-up cavity free! 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!

Thursday, November 22, 2011 Summerland Review

Cannings wins NDP nod Dick Cannings has been nominated by the Penticton NDP Constituency Association as the candidate in next May’s provincial election. Cannings, a wellknown environmentalist and author, defeated David Finnis of Summerland at the nominating con-

vention held Sunday in Penticton. Finnis is a former Summerland municipal councillor and has previously represented the NDP in provincial and federal elections. Cannings is running against Penticton Mayor Dan Ashton, who won the Liberal nomination

in October. The Penticton riding seat was vacated by longt i m e Liberal Dick MLA Bill Barisoff, Cannings Speaker of the House, who has

announced his retirement. Summerland is included in the riding of Penticton. Cannings is one of the founders of the Meadowlark Festival and a national board member of the Nature Conservancy of Canada. NDP leader Adrian Dix, who visited the

riding last week, said he isn’t concerned about the Liberal’s selection of Penticton Mayor Dan Ashton as candidate. Dix said that in the results of the last election, the NDP and the Green Party got more than 50 per cent of the vote here combined.

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

But the Green Party of Canada is making an extra effort to add to its 2011 breakthrough when Green leader Elizabeth May won the party’s firstever federal seat, Saanich North and the Islands. The Green Party arranged a fundraiser Monday night for candidate Donald Galloway, a University of Victoria law professor who has

been advising May on policy. The event features broadcaster David Suzuki, UVic climate scientist Andrew Weaver and musician Dan Mangan. The NDP has nominated lawyer Murray Rankin, who has been advising the provincial NDP on opposition to the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal.

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair visited Victoria last week, where he declared that neither the Enbridge pipeline nor the proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline from Alberta to Burnaby should be considered until Ottawa’s environmental approval process is strengthened. The Liberal Party candidate, econo-

mist Paul Summerville, stirred up local debate by opposing the Capital Regional District’s proposed land-based sewage treatment. Conservative candidate Dale Gann, president of Vancouver Island Technology Park, initially backed the project that has one-third funding from provincial and federal governments.

Environment debate heats up in B.C. Prominent voices in the environment and petroleum debate are speaking out this week, with a federal by-election in Victoria set for Nov. 26. The seat vacated when MP Denise Savoie retired for health reasons in August has been considered safe NDP territory in recent years.

Innovative stove uses less wood European design used to provide heat for local home by John Arendt The wood stove in Markus Hunziker’s home provides radiant warmth to the house while using less wood than a con-

ventional stove or fireplace. The stove, an Austrian design, was installed earlier this month. Carl Sidl, who installed the stove, said the stoves, known as Kachelofen in Europe, are efficient, low polluting and low maintenance units.

A fire, run for about an hour twice a day, is enough to provide warmth in the house for up to 24 hours. “Radiant heating is the same type of warmth that one receives when standing outside on a sunny day,” Sidl said. “You immediately feel the warmth when you

stand in the open sun and things exposed to radiant heat and slowly absorb the heat and radiate it back as well. The same concept applies to having a masonry heater. It’s like having a piece of the sun in your home.” While the stoves are common in Europe, where they have been used for hundreds of years, they are relatively new to Canada. He said the stoves are the safest wood heating systems available. “It’s a lot different way of experiencing heat,” he said. Sidl said each stove is individually designed and built for a specific house. The stove in Hunziker’s home is large and will require several weeks before the masonry has completely dried.

Fundraiser to benefit Tunisian woman Tracy Fehr and singers from her Summerland studio are bringing hope to a Tunisian woman with their Voices in Song Christmas Benefit Concert on Sunday, Dec. 2.

Now, Samira is attempting to run a household while providing for her mother and daughters. “The shame imposed on single mothers is extremely difficult, and many young women end

up on the streets,” says Fehr, who performs benefit concerts and workshops for North African women through ACT, the Association for Cooperation in Tunisia.

Resource development benefits all A lot has been said around the discussion of natural resource development over the past several weeks. Whether it is a letter to the editor, a newspaper column or the subject of conversation at your local cafe, it is clear that there is a diversity of opinion. It is important to first recognize that our riding benefits substantially from these projects. In Okanagan Falls, the largest local employer develops and creates world class mining components. In Merritt, a long term employer has recently announced the permanent closure of a mine, where the negative impact on the local economy has yet to be fully realized. While out door knocking, I heard some of the views on resource development from long time Logan Lakers. They spoke about the hard times that followed when the nearby mine was closed for a time and the accompanying impacts on the local school and house prices as families moved to find work elsewhere.

Since the mine resumed operations, they pointed to the positive impacts to the tax base and by attracting young families to work in the mine. Pointing to the flood of children walking home after the three o’clock bell and to the many ATV’s and snowmobiles in driveways of local families, one can certainly recognize their point. During my time as a Member of Parliament I have yet to meet anyone who has suggested that the reopening of the Copper Mountain Mine in Princeton has not been an extremely important and welcome support for the Princeton and area economy. In fact I have met many small business owners throughout OkanaganCoquihalla who have both directly and indirectly benefited from the increased economic activity from this mine that represents an investment in excess of $400 million dollars. More importantly than the dollars is that this mine will directly employ close to 300 people in a resource community much in need of

well paying jobs and of course the related spin off jobs will also benefit other sectors of the small business community. Why do I mention the importance of the Copper Mountain mine to a community like Princeton? Because this critically important project for the economy of the Similkameen region was made possible through foreign investment. The Mitsubishi Materials Corporation invested a significant amount of capital into this project so that it would become a reality. This investment has created hundreds of well paying jobs in our region and in turn the resource royalties paid to the British Columbia provincial government help cover the costs of important services such as healthcare and education. In fact the B.C. government forecasted roughly $400 million in revenues from the B.C. mining sector alone in 2010, not to mention that the average wage in this sector is in the $100,000 range annually. As mentioned earlier, Okanagan Falls, Logan Lake and

Suicidal youths go untreated: report by Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – B.C.'s child protection system has lost most of its ability to deal with severely abused, depressed and suicidal teens in provincial care, their independent advocate says. A review of 89 cases by Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-

Lafond finds common circumstances of severe problems, notably mental illness, domestic violence, sexual and physical abuse, alcohol and drug abuse by young people or their parents, and running away to live on the streets. All the cases are children who had contact with ministry social work-

ers, in some cases from infancy. Three quarters of them were removed from their homes because their parents' behaviour was a threat to them. The study revealed that they were shuffled to different group or foster homes an average of a dozen times, with some moving as much as 30 times in three years.

Hearing Clinic

Merritt also directly depend upon the mining sector to help provide jobs that support local families and local economies. If you have been following area newspapers as of late, you will know that critics including some of the opposition parties both provincially and federally oppose trade and foreign investment. Yet these same critics frequently ignore that foreign investment is what helps to create important jobs right here in Okanagan-Coquihalla and at the same time provides important revenues to governments at all levels that in turn pays for important services that citizens depend upon. Crown resources will always be owned by British Columbians and in turn Canadians, no agreement proposed today alters that fact. This is why the crown receives resource royalty revenues when the opportunities to capitalize on resources extraction are made available with further revenues benefitting throughout the process.

For taxpayers to receive the highest possible return for the rights to engage in responsible resource development, a competitive bidding process is often involved to ensure the highest price is realized. Opening up this market to foreign investors not only has the potential to directly benefit Provincial resource royalty revenues, it can also directly benefit local economies as evidenced in Princeton. FIPA agreements, as mentioned in a previous MP report, are not full scale trade agreements but rather are agreements that help to provide certainty to investors that outline the rules, obligations, administration and dispute resolution mechanisms that can both protect and promote foreign investment in the respective countries party to the agreement. In the event that foreign investment seeks to gain ownership of a Canadian resource company, this decision is not subject to a FIPA agreement but rather is subject to the Investment Canada Act. The government of Canada will either

Funds will benefit food cooperative The CUPE B.C. Women’s Committee has given an Okanagan Initiative Fund grant to the Summerland Root Cellar Cooperative. Root Cellar Cooperative president Toni Boot said the $500 grant will go to canning equipment, waiver of class fees for members requiring financial assistance, and purchase of locally grown produce and fruit for preserving. “Our primary goal

is to promote food security for all families especially those who are most at risk due to financial constraints,” Boot said. “The Root Cellar teaches food preservation techniques using local and sustainable food products that support a self-reliant and healthier lifestyle. The CUPE grant will help us offer this service to financially constrained people on a low- or no-cost basis.” The grant was given as part of a

CUPE B.C.’s Ten Percent Shift campaign. “CUPE members will support our local businesses, including farmers, to the tune of 10 per cent of our consumable budgets monthly,” said Kim Sarada of CUPE B.C. “This campaign is one of the reasons that The Root Cellar was such a perfect fit for funding coming from our committee.” Founded earlier this year, the Summerland Root Cellar Cooperative’s mis-

sion is to act as a catalyst for local food security by encouraging residents to buy local and support community growers. “We live in an agriculturally rich area – food farming is part of our heritage. Supporting local growers is good for our health and good for the local economy,” Boot said. The cooperative teaches food preservation, offers a preserves to-order service, and creates products from local ingredients for sale. The business is currently working on starting a CSA/ Food Box program in collaboration with several local growers. Membership is open to individuals and groups interested in community food security.

Mother and daughter compose together by John Arendt

The Canada Music Week Gala Concert normally features songs by Canadian composers, but this year, one of the songs will have a strong Summerland connection. Anita Perry and her daughter Sacha Perry-Fagant have written one of the songs in the concert. Perry, who teaches music at Summerland Montessori School, has also composed many of the school’s musical concerts. This is the first time she has worked in collaboration on a composition. In summer, when

the two decided to work together on the piece, Perry urged her daughter to write lyrics which she would then put to music. “It’s much easier to do when you have the lyrics,” she said. But Perry-Fagant wanted to have the music in place so she could write lyrics to fit. Perry said the musical composition was difficult. “I had no idea of the subject matter,” she said. She created a piece of music which she gave to Perry-Fagant, who then wrote the words. Once the words and music were both

in place, they worked together to ensure the song worked as a seamless unit. “I’m very attached to the notes; Sacha was very attached to the words,” Perry said. While composing together was challenging, the finished piece pleased both of them. “There were times I felt like weeping with joy,” Perry said. She added that she would like to work on another composition with her daughter, but the next time she wants to have the words in place before she writes the music. The song, When The Last Tree Died,

is an environmental piece, about a time when the trees have died. “It’s a song about how humans try to get the trees back,” Perry-Fagant said. “Even when they think they succeed, they can’t.” While the concept may sound depressing, Perry-Fagant said it ends with a hopeful message. The Canada Music Week Gala Concert will be held on Saturday, Nov. 24 at 7 p.m. at the Cleland Community Theatre in Penticton. Tickets are at the Penticton and District Community Arts Council at Leir House in Penticton.

Making music together

Sacha Perry-Fagant and her mother Anita Perry check their composition, When The Last Tree Died. The song is their first joint composition. It will be performed Saturday in Penticton.

Bobsleigh athletes

Justin Kripps, left, and Nick Carriere advanced to 14th place in the two-man bobsleigh competition on the weekend.

Kripps moves to 14th place It was a tough weekend of World Cup bobsleigh competition but the team of Justin Kripps and Nick Carriere moved up one spot in the two-man category on the weekend. In the four-man competition, Kripps and the Canada 3 team finished in 19th place. Only 0.68 seconds separated the ninthplace finish from the 19th-place finish over two runs. Kripps and his teammates are work-

ing on quicker starts and putting in two consistent runs for their next competition. In World Cup bobsleigh, there are two heats or runs. The start order depends on the team’s current ranking. The top 10 sleds draw for the start order and the remainder of the field then go in order. The next bobsleigh competition for Kripps is this weekend in Whistler.

Bantams tie with Penticton Nesters Bantam House team had a challenging couple of games against Penticton teams this month. Nov. 3 they had had a 3-0 loss against a Penticton team. On Nov. 10 Nesters Bantam House played Elks Penticton #2 for a 3-3 tie.

Goals were scored by Kyle Walker, Kade Kozak and Coby Blystone. Assists were by Katie Grant, Kyle Walker, Spencer Boerboom and Karter Wilms. Shots on goal were Penticton, 46; and Summerland, 26.

Festive elves

LARRY and DONNA YOUNG

The 2012 Summerland Royalty and the 2013 candidates will be dressed as elves for this year’s Summerland Festival of Lights. In the front row are the 2012 Royalty, Princess Lindsey Jenner, left, Summerland Queen Susan Watkins, and Princess Alexa Brickenden, right. Behind them are the candidates for 2013. They will meet with children and hand out candy canes and temporary snowflake tattoos. On Nov. 30 at 5 p.m., they will also accompany Santa down Main Street to True Grain Bread, where photos with Santa will be held.

Dogs must stay at dog beach in summer While dogs can run and play in Peach Orchard Park in the cooler months, in summer, they must stay on their leashes, except in the designated dog b e a c h area. At the Janice Nov. 13 Perrino c o u n cil meeting, council passed a resolution that dogs not be allowed off leash in the park from May 1 to Oct. 1 each year. Mayor Janice Per-

shops this fall and winter. The first session was go-kart building. Over the course of two weeks the youth and senior combination built five go-karts for the youth. With great teamwork and fun, the carts went together quickly. The Wonderful Woodworking Project’s next two events include a SADI booth at the Festival of Lights, Friday Nov 30, where they will be putting together yo-yos. The next ses-

rino said allowing the dogs to run at the beach in winter has helped to reduce the number of Canada geese there. “The dogs have done a good job keeping the geese away,” Perrino said, “but the summer is so busy for families.” The resolution upholds an earlier municipal policy for the beach. It came following a letter written on behalf of a dog, asking that the park be used as a playground for dogs in summer as well as in winter.
