by John Arendt A Kelowna janitorial contractor will be responsible for cleaning municipal buildings for the next three years, replacing the Summerland contractor who had done the work in the past. Evergreen Building Maintenance of Kelowna received the contract with a bid of $68,968 for the first year and $206,904 for the three-year term of the contract. L.A. Beamish of Summerland, the contractor who had done the cleaning working the past, was the next lowest bid, with $110,505 for the first year and $331,515 for the three years of the contract. L.A.

the contract since 2005. A total of eight bids were submitted, but one was incomplete and discarded. Mayor Janice Perrino said under provincial regulation, council had to award the bid to the lowest contractor. “You have an obligation to accept the lowest bid unless reference checks or criminal reference checks are bad,” she said. Of the seven bids considered, all except Evergreen’s bids were higher than $300,000 for the three-year term of the contract. The highest two bids, from Cameron and Sons of Kelowna and from CUPE Local 1136 of Summerland, both came in above $580,000 for the three years of the contract. See BID Page 6

John Arendt Summerland Review

The Summerland Secondary School senior boys Rockets basketball team and alumni teams from past years took part in the 28th annual Homecoming Tournament at the school on Dec. 22.

Most of the money has been raised for a new operating room table and lights for the Summerland Health Centre as well as other healthrelated items for the region. In fall, the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation set a fundraising goal of $632,500 for its seventh annual Tree of Dreams Campaign. Before the end of the

year, donors had contributed $568,513 to the campaign. Janice Perrino, director of the medical foundation, said the table and lights are expected to arrive in April. The cost of the table, at $145,000, was raised by the Summerland Healthcare Auxiliary. The Summerland facility handles many day surgeries for the region. While Summerland’s operating room equipment was the largest expense in the campaign, there were other items on the fundraising list. See NUMEROUS Page 3

Fruit growers to choose new executive BCFGA had turbulent year by Barbara Manning Grimm Orchardists will have plenty to talk about when they attend the 124th annual convention of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association next month. The organization, which had a change of leadership and other challenges in 2012, will meet Jan. 19 at the Lakeside Resort in Penticton. Members will be considering the establishment of a national apple research and promotion agency. Also on the agenda is a resolution to try to secure a place at the bargaining table when the Columbia River Treaty is renewed in 2014. B.C. Minister of Agriculture Norm Letnick is scheduled to address the convention at 11:30 a.m. The convention

will open with a twohour business session for dealing with financial statements, budget, industry organization reports and a special resolution to modernize the BCFGA constitution. Reports will be received from Alan Tyabji, CEO of the Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-operative; the executive; and BCFGA committees. There will also be reports from the Okanagan Plant Improvement Corporation (PICO) and the association’s research and development orchard. Committees looking after water, environment and crop protection issues will give reports and put forward resolutions. A panel will give industry updates on the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, Canadian Horticulture Council, B.C. Agriculture Council and benchmarking studies.

The theme of the convention is Growing Forward 2, a focus on innovation, international marketing and competitiveness. The day will wrap up with nominations, candidate speeches, balloting and election of the president, vicepresident and other executive members. At the convention last January, BCFGA elected Kirpal Boparai of Kelowna as its president. Incumbent president Joe Sardinha of Summerland did not run for election, opting to retire from the executive after 11 years, seven of them in the top post. Elected vice-president was Vernon grower Jeet Dukhia, a newcomer to the long-time lobby group’s executive. In late summer this year, the main co-op packinghouse, the Okanagan Tree Fruit Cooperative, expelled Boparai for failing to live up to the terms

of his contract, and shipping his apples to an independent packer instead of the co-op he was a member of. In October, at the annual general meeting of that co-op, one of the 300 or so growers attending proposed a resolution calling on the co-op to stop checking off BCFGA dues from members until the BCFGA removed Boparai from the top post and it was approved. However,

the co-op executive declined to deal with that resolution, and neither organization is required to deal with it. Boparai only attended two of the four regional grower meetings held throughout the valley in November, but when nominated for re-election to the BCFGA board, he declined, and in December he announced his intent to resign from the top post.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Canada vs. The USA Do you believe we are becoming more and more like our American cousins? Well, in some respects their culture has been a very big influence on ours. Whether or not that is a good thing is a matter of opinion and for that matter who's opinion it is. From a legal stand point, there are many areas where the American judicial system has encountered situations years ahead of the Canadian experience and as a result has been used as a guide by the Canadian courts in dealing with that situation. One aspect of our two legal systems will never be the same however, and that is the influence that juries play in creating law and awards. In America, a jury has a relatively free reign in handing out awards in civil matters. In Canada there are strict limitations on the amounts a Judge or Jury can award. The reason for this column? An article in the Canadian Lawyer Magazine estimated the value of all monetary awards given by juries in the US in 2002. The number was $283 BILLION dollars. Something to think about.

our pick

Awarding contracts For the past eight years, L.A. Beamish of Summerland has had the contract to do the janitorial work for the municipality, but this year, a Kelowna firm has been awarded the contract. Evergreen Building Maintenance of Kelowna had the lowest bid submitted to the municipality, more than $40,000 a year under the next closest of the seven bids considered. For this reason alone, the municipality was bound to accept Evergreen’s bid. Only a bad criminal record check or bad references could have disqualified the bid. The regulations are in place and Summerland council must follow the regulations. This is the second time in the past two years an out-oftown company has had the lowest bid for a significant municipal contract. In 2011, the garbage contract went to BFI Canada instead of to a Summerland firm. The garbage bid and the janitorial bid both resulted in savings for the municipality. At the same time, each of these contracts has been a harsh blow to Summerland businesses vying for the jobs. While some would like to see the bidding process changed to give an advantage to Summerlanders bidding on local work, the municipality is required to accept the lowest bid. Even without this requirement, the system of awarding to the lowest bid is the simplest method available. It is also the most fair system, since each of the bidders works under the same parameters. The contractor able to provide service at the lowest price is selected for the work. While this means contractors from Kelowna and beyond may bid successfully on a Summerland contract, it also means Summerland contractors could win the bid to provide the work in other communities. For aggressive Summerland businesses, this means plenty of opportunities to receive substantial contracts.

Donations have been generous and the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation’s seventh annual Tree of Dreams Campaign has nearly reached its goal. The campaign has raised more than $568,000 of the $632,500 in its goal. The money, including $145,000 raised through the Summerland Healthcare Auxiliary, will pay for much-needed medical equipment.

Is gas the enviro-villain of 2013? VICTORIA – They’re well on the way to stopping the expansion of oil exports to Asia. Now will B.C.’s American branchplant environmental machine turn on natural gas? A couple of weeks ago I described the dispute between the Haisla Nation and the rest of the Coastal First Nations group over the pioneering of liquefied Tom Fletcher natural gas development on Haisla territory at Kitimat. Powerful chiefs of the Heiltsuk, Gitga’at, Haida and others in the so-called Great Bear Rainforest oppose the idea of kicking off a new LNG export industry without extending the hydro grid to support renewable power for the region. LNG is shaping up as B.C.’s largest-ever industrial project, if it gets built. And there are signs the American-directed environmental attack is swinging to our gas boom. Some in the Canadian media insist no such U.S. influence exists, or that it is trivial and benign. They mock federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver’s description of “foreign radicals,” pretending this applies to everyone opposed to oil pipelines. There weren’t many reporters with me when I covered the negotiations for the Great Bear Rainforest in 2006. Along with B.C. cabinet minister Pat Bell, Coastal First Nations and forest companies, the Sierra

Club, ForestEthics and Greenpeace muscled their way to the table. How they did so became clear in early 2007. Behind these big three eco-propaganda groups was a $60 million war chest from an obscure outfit called Tides Canada. Another front group, as it turns out. The actual source of the money was the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the David and Lucille Packard Foundation, the Wilberforce

blockade against oil exports. Their argument against oil exports centres on the false premise that Alberta’s “tar sands” somehow uniquely threaten the global climate. Lately, as the size of B.C.’s gas development has become clearer, the protests have started to refocus. Now we hear dire claims about the decades-old technique of “fracking” in gas development, and previously obscure groups are springing up to protest gas projects.

Hollywood is about to gas us with an anti-fracking movie starring Matt Damon. Foundation, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. Most made their billions in computers and software in San Francisco or Seattle. They’ve funded scientifically suspect campaigns such as “Yellowstone to Yukon” and “boreal forest” aimed at turning more than a third of Canada into parks. Increasingly, they are partnering with aboriginal people in B.C. and across Canada. Some in B.C.’s major media have since grudgingly credited independent B.C. researcher Vivian Krause with filling in the blanks. She has shown that starting in 2002, these foundations began formally organizing against Canadian fossil fuel production. When the B.C. and Canadian governments matched the $60 million Great Bear Rainforest fund for “ecosystem-based” forest management, they didn’t realize they were reinforcing a

Hollywood is about to gas us with an anti-fracking movie starring Matt Damon. Previews suggest that Promised Land works the usual evil-greedy-capitalist themes, in the Avatar tradition. ForestEthics, Sierra Club and Greenpeace, meanwhile, are campaigning against their original forest preservation deal on B.C.’s Central and North Coast. Sustainable development solutions aren’t good for their business model. If people think a problem is solved, they stop sending money. Meanwhile, the U.S. is surging ahead with its own shale oil and gas boom. Plans are underway for LNG exports from the U.S. to Asia. I think 2013 would be a good year for Canada to start making its own decisions on energy development.

culls

A vehicle donation through NeighbourLink has helped to keep one Summerland woman mobile after she was faced with an expensive repair bill. But the donation also brings to light the costs involved in driving. Insurance and gasoline costs alone will account for thousands of dollars a year. Maintenance costs are on top of that amount. An unexpected repair bill can deal a painful blow to the budget. When this happens, those on limited incomes will be hardest hit as they struggle with the costs of their transportation needs.

Tories responsible for F-35 fiasco

Dear Editor: The fiscal incompetence and complete mismanagement of Canada’s largest military procurement since World War II has now been fully exposed. MP Dan Albas and the Conservative

Party need to be held accountable for their total mishandling of the F-35. Two years ago they told Canadians that the government would replace our aging fleet of CF-18s with a sole-sourced contract for F-35s

for only $9 billion— now thanks to an audit from KPMG we know the true cost of the F-35s will exceed $46 billion. The government said the F-35 was the only plane that could meet our needs—now they admit that other

planes could. They always maintained that considering other options was irresponsible and they solesourced the contract— now they are looking at other planes. They said there was a contract—now they don’t.

This is how an incompetent government turns a $13 billion Liberal surplus in 2006 into a $142 billion accumulated Conservative deficit by 2012. The government lied, stonewalled, broke all the rules of procurement, evaded

every safeguard, and attacked the credibility and patriotism of all those who dared challenge it. It asked voters to re-elect it using fraudulent numbers. Mr. Albas needs to stop the cheerleading and start asking ser-

ious questions about how the government is spending your hard-earned tax dollars. He can’t serve his constituents with blinders on. John McKay, MP Liberal Party of Canada Defence Critic Scarborough, Ont.

We’d like to introduce the Summerland-Penticton All Star Hockey Team, Okanagan Senior B Champions of 1952-53. The problem is, we have tentatively identified only one player, Norman Campbell (back row, centre,) so if anyone could help us put names with the faces, we’d greatly appreciate it. Call or drop in to the Summerland Museum. By the way, the first televised NHL game was between the Montreal Canadiens and the Detroit Red Wings on Oct. 11, 1952. Here we are, in 2013, with no televised NHL games. It’s a good thing we have the Summerland Steam to provide great hockey action. Go Steam!

Vehicle donated by NeighbourLink by John Arendt

A single mother whose vehicle needed an expensive transmission replacement has received a restored vehicle through NeighbourLink. Mirjana Komljenovic of NeighbourLink said the woman had called NeighbourLink for help after the transmission problem developed. The repair was estimated at several thousand dollars. “It was completely out of reach for us,” Komljenovic said. Instead of repairing the car, NeighbourLink was able to present the woman with a restored minivan, which had been donated to NeighbourLink earlier. The minivan was then taken to Tirecraft in Summerland where staff put in around 10 hours of labour and $300 to $400 in new parts to bring it into good

running condition. Jennifer McAvany of Tirecraft said the 1997 Dodge Caravan had been kept in good condition and is expected to last many more years if it is properly maintained. Komljenovic said NeighbourLink has been working to donate a vehicle for around a year. She added that finding the right vehicle and the right recipient was a challenge. The recipient must have a driver ’s license and must be able to insure and maintain the vehicle. The recipient must also understand the value of the gift and must work to repay the gesture to someone else. “She understands that this is a very beautiful community gift,” Komljenovic said of the recipient. “She wants to pay it forward.” The recipient will

first time the bidding process has resulted in an outof-town business receiving the contract for work in the community. When the garbage contract was awarded to BFI Canada in March 2011, the bid came in almost 20 per cent lower than the nearest Summerland bid, resulting in

a savings of close to $60,000 a year for the municipality. Under the New W e s t P a r t - Janice n e r s h i p Perrino Tr a d e Agreement, formerly the Trade, Investment and Labour

Bird species observed B.C. Transit to study during Christmas count future service needs Here are the preliminary totals from the Penticton Christmas Bird Count which was held on Dec. 16. Weather was decent except for a south wind that hampered viewing along some lakeshore locations and occasionally at mid-elevations as well. The species total of 101 is above the longterm average but well below the record high of 110 species. The highlight was the brambling found at a feeder in Summerland. This is the first record of that species on the count. Three additional species were seen in count week (three days before the count): Greenwinged Teal, Western Grebe and Snowy Owl. Good numbers of robins and bluebirds were seen, though neither total is a record.

Summerland’s mayor is hoping to jump the queue on a long-term transit study and get a bus service in her community by this fall. Janice Perrino said town staff has discussed with B.C. Transit the possibility of establishing a new link between Summerland and Penticton by the time students return to school in September. “That may be a bit too optimistic, but that’s the goal, that’s what we’re trying to do,” said Perrino, who’s hoping a regional transit study will confirm the need for the service. She and other directors of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen last week agreed to take part in the new B.C. Transit study that will try to predict the area’s transit needs 25 years into the future and lay out a plan to meet the demand. Although the final report isn’t due to

be completed until next winter, Perrino is hoping preliminary work on the study will verify the case for a Summerland-Penticton service sooner. “Funding is the key piece,” Perrino added, “because we’ll have to provide our share, so we’ll need to know our cost, and then we’ll have to explain that to the community (and ask) is that something they want to do.” Steve Harvard, a regional manager for B.C. Transit, told the RDOS board there are no magic numbers to determine when an area is ready for bus service. “I wouldn’t say there’s necessarily a firm number, but we analyze all the requests for service and say, ‘Does this service make sense?” he explained. Harvard cautioned that planners are careful about saying yes to new routes. “You don’t want to jump in and just put a service in for the sake of putting a ser-

vice in and set it up to fail. You want to make sure that you’re very careful of what the costs are to set it up and what the continual operating costs are as well moving forward,” he said. RDOS chief administrative officer Bill Newell told Harvard he was troubled by the lack of a defined threshold for new service. “My concern then would be we ask citizens whether they would like to see public transit in their area and the numbers seem subjective, and (if the numbers) don’t warrant a service, then we have a whole bunch of disenfranchised citizens,” Newell said. Tom Siddon, the director for KaledenOkanagan Falls, suggested B.C. Transit adopt a proactive approach to setting up new service. “I think advocacy, like a build-it-andthey-will-use-it kind of philosophy, is really the missing ingredient here,” Siddon said.

Smart meter grid project construction delayed by Tom Fletcher Black Press

BC Hydro has been given another year to complete its wireless smart grid project, as it nears the original deadline with 140,000 smart meters still to be installed. Energy Min-

ister Rich Coleman announced the extension of the Dec. 31, 2012 deadline imposed by the B.C. Liberal government’s Clean Energy Act. Pushed through the legislature in the spring of 2010, that legislation supports sweeping changes to

BC Hydro’s expansion using wind, small hydro and other private power development. In a ministry statement, Coleman cited shortages of skilled labour, meters and other specialized equipment as well as “customer concerns”

for failing to meet the deadline for all 1.87 million meters across the province. BC Hydro has been dogged by political and citizen protests about the cost of the refit and persistent claims of various hazards from the meters. Installers have also

encountered meters made inaccessible by construction of garages, decks and other structures that covered them. Some homeowners who refused replacement of mechanical meters now worry that they will be on the hook for costs

if their old meter equipment fails after they refused the upgrade. BC Hydro spokesman Greg Alexis said the one-year delay, originally signalled in a November finance ministry update, doesn’t change the utility’s target of the

2014 fiscal year to implement the entire system. Meters are only a small part of a province-wide grid that will automatically report power outages and offer customers a real-time display of their power consumption.

Honouring veterans

Ken Bazley of the Summerland branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, standing in the centre of the back row, presented more than 50 veterans at four Summerland facilities with watches just before Christmas, as a way of thanking the veterans for their service to Canada. Pictured above are veterans at Summerland Seniors’ Village.

Preparing for the 75th Awards Gala Every year the Summerland Chamber of Commerce has the privilege of recognizing and honouring our local businesses as well as those who have made a difference in our community. This year is particularly important as we are hosting the 75th Anniversary of the awards event. A lot has happened over the decades so the Board has taken the opportunity to update the awards categories. Two new awards have been added to reflect new societal values. The Technology and Innovation Award will be given to a business that has used technology to create a business concept that is new or unique, or has applied innovative improvements to existing processes, products, or services. The new Sustainability Leadership Award celebrates excellence in green practice, strategy and products, seeking out the most innovative, ambitious and effective initiatives by Summerland businesses for achieving environmental sustainability, and implementing smart business practice. Another new award addition is Trade Services Excellence which will honour the many fine tradespersons who do business in our community, provide

superior trade services and make all our lives easier. One more new award will honour a Rising Star/ New Business. This trail-blazer has been operating for less than two years and has demonstrated strong potential via growth, innovation, and leadership during the first years of operation. Additional awards for excellence in manufacturing/ industry, tourism/ hospitality, retailing and professional services will also be given out. Our preeminent business award is the Business of the Year Award which recognizes an exceptional Summerland business whose commitment to overall best business practice, customer service, employee relations, superior marketing and social media strategies and positive public image leads the way and sets an example within our business community. The Mayor ’s Award of Excellence continues to be an important acknowledgement of community leadership. This award is given at the mayor’s discretion to an organization that has made an outstanding contribution to Summerland. In a nod to our roots, the chamber is returning the Cit-

Chamber Corner

Arlene Fenrich izen/Volunteer of the Year Award. Formerly known as the Good Citizen Cup, this award has been given since 1938 to a worthy Summerland individual. This is a person who has demonstrated exemplary dedication the people of Summerland and who inspires others by their volunteer commitment to the community. The remaining award honours a Young Entrepreneur of the Year; a Summerland resident who is 25 years or younger and has shown an entrepreneurial spirit in their dedication and commitment to our community through their interest in business, leadership, peer mentoring and personal achievement. The nomination process has also been updated for 2013. Nominations can be made by the public and by businesses. A business may also nominate themselves for an award as we have many business-

es in Summerland that are not visible to the general public yet they play a vital role in our economy and are doing great things. Nominations will be open until Jan. 24 after which a committee will shortlist finalists. From Feb.

1 to 15, all Chamber of Commerce members will have the opportunity to vote for the winners and the awards will be given out at the Gala on Feb. 23. The Board believes these revisions will create a new energy for the awards gala,

contribute to renewed interest and transparency in the event and encourage participation by all Chamber members in the final vote. We always appreciate your feedback. Please contact me at president@summerlandchamber.com or

Christine Petkau at manager@summerlandchamber.com. Arlene Fenrich is President of the Summerland Chamber of Economic Development and Tourism. All of the members of the board of directors serve as volunteers.

Homecoming and alumni hoop fest

The Summerland Secondary School gym was alive and full of energy on Dec. 22 as the annual Homecoming/ Alumni Basketball Tournament took place. In this event, high school alumni return from all walks of life to participate against each other and the current Rockets teams. The annual tournament is organized by ex-grad Don Walker. Basketball alumni representing a range

of ages play on age grouped teams, and this year they ranged from 15-year-old Neal Rutherford to 60-something Howard Wiens. One of the goals of the get together is to give back to the program, so all participants who play in the games pay a fee which helps to build a basketball fund at Summerland Secondary. For this year’s tournament, four men’s teams and two women’s team took part in the annual

competition. In the first game, the current Rockets senior boys team took on the perennial sore and stiff “Old Guys” team (pre grad 2001) and the game proved to be a barn burner. In the end, the Old Grads pulled out an exciting last second shot to defeat the young guns by a score of 69-68. High scorer for the senior Rockets was Trevor Parkinson with 21 points and Gary Greg led the Old Guys with 20 points.

In the second game of the tourney, the Grad 2008-2011 team took on the perennial favourite Grad 20022007 team and and earned a tough 45-40 victory. The strong ‘02-07 team has consistently won the tournament in recent years, so this was a celebrated victory for the ‘08-11 team. Josh Thornton led the victorious team with 20 points. In the third game of the tournament, it was the women’s turn to play.

The bonspiel will start Thursday evening and will conclude with a dance Saturday night to the music of Total Gin.

In this game, the Grad 2012 team took on the Grad 2011 and earlier team and in a surprising upset the older grads defeated the youngsters by a 64-46 score. In this match, Jenny Bergstrom was the dominant force, accounting for 36 of the winning team’s points. Tama Corday quarterbacked the attack with a flurry of excellent passes. Lauren Antonivich was the leading scorer for the Grad 2012 team with a strong 17 points. In the boys consolation final, the Grad ‘08-11 team took on the senior Rockets. Despite a limited bench, coach Dave Stathers’ team hung in there and fought to the final buzzer, despite being on the losing side of the 75-64 score. Grade 10 athlete Abhi Lekhi had his strongest game of the year and contributed an impressive 28 points. In the tournament final, the old grads were up against the much younger Grad ‘08-11 team. In an exciting seesaw battle, the old guys somehow dug

deep and pulled out another close final minute victory, 68-63. Josh Thornton and Harish Anand were the top scorers for the young grads, with 20 and 15 points respectively. Chris Ward led the scorers for the old guys with 14 points, while Gary Greg and Tony Colgur contributed 13 points each.

After the final buzzer, the team seemed more relieved than excited, possibly due to the sore knees and tormented muscles. All in all it was a great affair, with many grads reconnecting with old friends, along with some competitive and enjoyable Summerland Secondary School basketball.

Alumni tournament

Current and former members of the Summerland Secondary School Rockets played an alumni homecoming tourney last week.

Pee Wee House Jets in exhibition play The Summerland Pee Wee House Jets, sponsored by Safari Water Treatment, faced the Penticton Bantam girls team in exhibition play Dec. 23. The girls came out strong, scoring immediately after the opening face off and again less than three minutes later. The Jets put on the pressure with excellent passing. Declan Riddle evaded the strong Penticton defenders netting a goal from a rebound, assisted by Calum Bird and Liam Tiel, four minutes later. Halfway through the first period the girls scored their third goal.

Second period started with another quick goal by Penticton. Liam Hrncirik scored the Jets second goal, assisted by Lovlesh Anand and Ethan Strongman at the nine-minute mark of the period. Both teams scored two goals in the third period giving the Penticton team a hard-fought 6-4 win. Hrnicrik picked up a second goal assisted by Justin Singh and Samantha Cotellie. Riddle also scored again assisted by Tiel and Sunveer Dhaliwal. Ben Lewis and Ben Bowyer played well between the pipes for the Jets.
