Five nominees for new chamber board by John Arendt

Five candidates are on the ballot for four spots on the Summerland Chamber of Economic Development and Tourism board of directors. Thor Clausen, Connie Denesiuk, Arlene Fenrich and Maged Said are all part of the present chamber board. David Gregory has also put his name forward.

Clausen, an arborist, recently sold his business, Arbortech, to Bartlett Tree Experts. Denesiuk, a longtime school trustee, is a partner in R. Denesiuk Construction with her husband Bob for more than 30 years. Fenrich, the owner of Edgy Petals, was the chamber president over the past year. Said has worked in environmental

health and safety with the mining industry around the world. He and his family moved to Summerland in 2003 to open and operate Radio Shack (now Bad Robot Computers and Electronics.) Today he also owns Mission Bottle Washing Co. Gregory has served as a municipal councillor for two terms and as Summerland’s

mayor for one term. He is also involved in minor hockey and minor baseball. The board will be elected at the chamber’s annual general meeting on March 12 at Summerland Seniors Village, 12803 Atkinson Road from 5 to 7 p.m. Advance voting will be held March 7 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Summerland Chamber Office, 15600 Hwy. 97.

As the municipality continues to look for a water metering solution, the public will be able to raise concerns and opinions at an open house on March 14. At present, Summerlanders pay a flat rate for water use, but the municipality is moving to a metering system in order to manage the water supply and stop those who are wasting water. “It’s probably the hardest thing we’ve ever done,” Mayor Janice Perrino said of the search to find a good metering sys- Janice tem. “It’s a very comPerrino plicated issue.” At present, the municipality has two billing systems which will be presented. Municipal planner Ian McIntosh said the two options both begin with a base rate for the service, followed by rates for the amount of water used. The first option begins with a base rate of $24 for the water service. The use rates are based on the size of the property. A rate of 25¢ a cubic metre will be charged for 114 millimetres of water a month, on 70 per cent of the size of the property. This figure is based on the amount of water needed to irrigate a property. On an average residential lot, the house, garage and driveway account for 30 per cent of the area of the land, leaving 70 per cent which can be irrigated. A rate of $1 per cubic metre is charged for any water use above the amount allowed according to the formula. See PLANS Page 8

Cougar killed on Simpson Road by John Arendt

A conservation officer was called on Friday morning after a cougar was seen on the deck of a house. Don Gemmell said he heard coy-

dog, Caesar, was also barking at his home. When he looked outside, he saw the cougar on his deck and called the conservation officer. Gemmell said he thought the cougar

may have wanted to prey on his neighbour’s goats. The cougar eventually ran off, past the neighbour ’s goats, and slammed into a deer fence. It continued running along

the fence before disappearing near Simpson Road. When conservation officer Bob Hamilton arrived around 8:30 a.m., he followed the cougar tracks but did not expect to find

the cat. The cougar was in a bush only a metre away from him when it jumped a metre high. “That was too close for comfort,” he said later. Hamilton shot and killed the cat. An examination later showed the medium-sized adult female cougar had been feeding on deer

and domestic pets before the incident. “It was too full to climb a fence,” he said. Gemmell said cougars — sometimes referred to as ghost cats — are seldom seen in the area, although they are present. “They’re probably around here more than we know,” he said.

our pick

The cost of water The transition from a flat rate for residential water to a metering system has been a long and complex process. The final structure has not yet been determined, but the latest billing models, which will be presented at an open house next week, once again attempt to charge a fair rate for the service, for normal water consumption and for excess water use. The two billing structures to be presented begin with a base rate for the municipal water service, followed by consumption rates for all water used. This is a much better structure than the earlier proposal of a base rate which included a quantity of water, with charges only for the excess. By billing for every drop of water, the municipality is providing an incentive for all water users to watch their consumption at all times. Those who want to keep their water costs low can save some money by dropping their water consumption. Those who have watered extensively in the past will have to change their ways or pay dearly for the privilege of excessive water use. Earlier billing models penalized those who had high water use, but did not provide a financial incentive for conservation measures. Still, no billing system is perfect and it is possible that the public will see ways in which the metering structure can be improved. For this reason, we urge all water users to examine the plans which will be presented, to attend the open house and to provide their comments and feedback. The model selected will affect us all. The quest for a fair and workable water metering structure is difficult and complex. While rates will change from time to time, we do not wish to see the billing structure revisited again. It makes sense to move slowly and carefully on this project in order to get it done right the first time.

On Sunday, skaters showed their skills at the annual Summerland Skating Club Pop Concert. The skaters who participate included youngsters just learning how to skate to high school students who could move gracefully on the ice. A lot of work went into the concert. Throughout the year, skaters, parents, coaches and volunteers have put in much effort in the quest for skating excellence.

Joe Oliver on oil, gas and coal Federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver attended last week’s international conference in Vancouver on liquefied natural gas development. I spoke with him about Canada’s energy exports and emissions. Here are excerpts from that discussion: TF: President Barack Obama’s recent state of union address seemed to hint Tom Fletcher at approval for the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to U.S. refineries, with perhaps some measure to go along with it like a carbon cap and trade market. Your government has backed North American cap and trade before. Would you do it again? JO: No, we’re not thinking about that at all. The U.S. Congress is opposed to that concept from what I understand. TF: Your party ran ads targeting NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and equating cap and trade with a carbon tax. They’re not the same, are they? JO: The end result is that taxes increase because of how we handle carbon. It hasn’t been successful in Europe at all. Anyway, it’s not part of our thinking. We are making significant progress on greenhouse gas emissions. Our recent regulations regarding heavy-duty vehicles, the previous rules regarding cars and light trucks, which are identical to the U.S., are going to be helpful. And also the rules relating

to coal-fired electricity. It’s our objective to see all those coal plants closed, and in that regard we’re certainly ahead of the U.S. Coal is contributing 40 times the greenhouse gas emissions of the oil sands. And actually the oil sands are less than half the emissions from coal-fired electricity in the state of Illinois. We’re moving with the U.S. on the over-arching objective of reducing our greenhouse gas emissions by 17 per cent from

that’s the responsible thing to do, but it’s the big emitters that are going to make the difference to global emissions. TF: International Energy Agency talks about self-sufficiency in the U.S., oil and gas, by 2035. What does that mean for the Canadian economy? JO: Firstly, I don’t think they’re going to be self-sufficient in oil. North America will be self-sufficient in gas and oil. What it means is, for gas we’re going to have to find

“Canada’s small. We’re about two per cent of global emissions. We have to do our part, that’s the responsible thing to do, but it’s the big emitters that are going to make the difference to global emissions.”

Joe Oliver

2005 to 2020, but we’re also doing other things that the U.S. hasn’t yet decided to do. We’ve been approaching the reduction of emissions on a sectoral basis, and the next area of focus will be regulations in the oil and gas sector. TF: You’re comfortable with the idea that exporting LNG that replaces coal is an appropriate step at this time, one that’s doable as opposed to these Kyoto-type gestures? JO: It is doable. And on a global basis, this would be a very significant development. If China, for example, could significantly move from coal to gas, that would have a huge impact. Canada’s small. We’re about two per cent of global emissions. We have to do our part,

new markets, and for oil we’re going to have to find markets to sustain the growth in supply. The United States will still be a big buyer of Canadian oil. We’re shipping about two and a half million barrels a day, of which a million comes from the oil sands. Right now we’re losing about $50 million a day because of the crude oil bottleneck in the U.S. midwest, compared to international prices. We absolutely must find new markets, which is why our government in principle is supporting the transport of oil and gas to the west, to the east, continuing to the south and possibly even the north.

culls

The upcoming Summerland Chamber of Economic Development and Tourism’s Annual General Meeting is an important one, but if past turnout is any indication, few of those eligible to vote will do so. The chamber board makes decisions and sets the direction for various initiatives which affect Summerland businesses and by extension the rest of the community. In order to have a strong voice for the business community, it is important that all businesses take part in the chamber election on March 12.

Canadians not allowed work in B.C. Dear Editor: I am a vet and tradesman, who has worked many years in the mining, oil and construction trades. I don’t usually voice any political opinions, except when I feel that Canadians are being abused. For that, “I will stand on guard for thee.” The B.C. provincial and the federal government went into an unusual agreement with Chinese-owned HD mining at Tumbler Ridge. As reported on CBC websites, the demand was for foreign Chinese workers to start and run the mine for 4.5 years, after which Canadians would only be allowed to apply at the mine at 10 per cent a year of the labour force. This simply means that no Canadians will be allowed to work at the mine, and that it will take 14.5 years for Canadians to be fully employed. This program also has us subsidizing foreign workers with tax dollars. Can you imagine an unemployed family in Tumbler Ridge hearing this news, knowing that they have been cast aside by their own governments and not allowed to apply for a job at this mine in their own province? This is B.C., folks. Thankfully, two unions stood up against this atrocity against Canadians and had to fight our own governments in court. Once the facts were out and people started asking their political officials questions, the agreement has been postponed. Only postponed. Go and look at the news stories yourself. There are many Canadians who would

love to get into a mining career. Let’s get training

‘Tis the season

As the snow melts and the ground thaws, we head into a new season: Construction. Every year it’s the luck of the draw as to whether your street is the one to be disrupted. In 1938 the big machinery was brought out as construction season involved laying a new water pipe all the way down Prairie Valley Road. There was a lot less traffic back then but there were also fewer roads for detours so residents had to exercise patience. If there’s construction on your path this year, be patient and enjoy the detours that take you on a new route through our fair town.

Action needed at mill site Dear Editor: Why can’t something be done with the old saw mill? If we need industrial land, there it is, wasting away, a good write-off for the owners and a bad thing for our town.

Not only is it an eye sore, it’s dangerous and filthy. I guess kids are too busy on their computers to play there, but what if transients decide its a good spot to live? Is there nothing that can be

done about derelict properties? Perhaps a new by-law is in order forcing them to clean it up and make use of it, or sell it. Marcia Stacy Summerland

Store should provide access Dear Editor: My name is Miles, and I am nine years old. This message is for Value Village. It’s kind of weird you guys don’t have buttons for the people who are in

wheelchairs or are older. If you’re in a wheelchair you can’t open the door so you have to wait for someone to open the door. This probably makes them feel sad

and frustrated. Value Village, please put in buttons so wheelchair people

can go in your store on their own. Miles Staley Summerland

Paramedic’s service recognized by John Arendt Ambulance work has changed considerably from when Henry Stubbs became a paramedic in the 1970s. On Monday, Stubbs was presented with a plaque and gift for achieving 35 years of paramedic service. His interest in paramedic work came in the mid-1970s when he was working at the Similkameen Mine in Princeton. At the time, he took an industrial first aid course. “That was my first introduction to this kind of work,” he recalled. The television show Emergency also piqued his interest. He began work in Penticton but later transferred to the Summerland station. While he has had many dramatic moments as a paramedic, he said he has not had to deliver a baby while on call, although others in paramedic work have been called on to per-

Snow pack near normal Summerland’s water supply is close to historic averages, based on the latest municipal snow pack figures. Shawn Hughes, water distribution chief operator for the municipality, said the

snow pack at Summerland Reservoir had a water equivalent of 181 millimetres on March 1, when the latest reading was taken. This is 88 per cent of the long-term average of 205 mm, based

on data collected over 53 years. At Isintok Lake, the water equivalent on March 1 was 151 mm, 99 per cent of the historic average of 153 mm. The historic average at Isintok is based on 49

years of data. The majority of the snow pack for the winter has already fallen, he added. Water from the melting snow provides Summerland’s water supply for the coming year.

Plans penalize excess water use Continued from Page 1

“You can go over as much as you want if you’re prepared to pay $1 a cubic metre,” McIntosh said. Strata units, which do not have surrounding land, are allowed up to 15 cubic metres a month at the rate of 25¢, while water use above this amount

would be charged at $1 a cubic metre. These rates remain constant throughout the year. The second water option begins with a base rate of $23 a month for the service, followed by usage rates of 25¢, 50¢ and $1.10 a cubic metre, depending on the

amount used. In summer, lots of up to .08 hectares would have the first 60 cubic metres at the lowest rate, the next 15 cubic metres at the second rate and any excess at the highest rate. Lots between .08 and .16 hectares would get the first

100 cubic metres at the lowest rate and the next 30 cubic metres at the second rate. For lots between .16 and .24 hectares, the first 140 cubic metres would be at the lowest rate, with the next 45 cubic metres at the second rate.

Properties above .24 hectares would pay the lowest rate for the first 180 cubic metres and the second rate for the next 60 cubic metres. In winter, all properties would pay the lowest rate for the first 25 cubic metres of water, with the next 10 cubic metres at the second water

rate. McIntosh said water use rises dramatically during the summer months. In winter, the municipality uses 2.5 megalitres a day, while in summer, water use exceeds 75 megaliths a day. “That’s all to do with irrigation,” he said.

Perrino said the rates must be set to pay for the system and to penalize those who use excessive amounts of water. “We have to stop the water hogs,” she said. The open house will be held on March 14 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the IOOF Hall on Main Street.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Estate Litigation It is a sad sign of the times that Estate litigation is one of the fastest growing areas of law. This is partly due to the vast amount of wealth that the leading edge of the "Baby Boomers" is now transferring through to their offspring in their estates. Where money is involved unfortunately the bad side of human nature can take over. This wrongful behavior can take many forms, from one sibling taking over control of his or her parents affairs by a Power of Attorney and channeling the money to their own benefit to using undue influence to shape their parents Will in their favour. Equally as important in creating litigation has been the proliferation of second marriages and split families. Each side of the family can have very different legal rights to an estate depending on the circumstance. Great care and consideration must be taken when providing for your children and your spouse's children. It is critical to seek advice from a Lawyer with training and experience in drafting wills in these circumstances.

Dark Circles Women's Top Eye Concern As many as 46% of Canadian women are concerned about dark circles, making it their #1 overall eye concern. What is a dark circle? Darkened areas under the eyes, often with a dark blue, red or brown tint, depending on the skin tone. Using the latest advances in skin science, Vichy Laboratories determined the causes of dark circles as well as the actions required in order to address them: Causes: Nasal Congestion: dilates and darkens the veins that drain from your eyes to your nose

Action: Drainage

caffeine

Inflammation: allergies or other factors enlarge blood vessels around the eye contours, causing the blood in them to be more visible.

Reduce Inflammation

Vit B3

Pigmentation Irregularities: cause discolorations and unevenness. It is particularly common among certain ethnicities

Control Pigmentation

Ceramide Bright Liquorice extract

Accumulation of dead dark cells: Melanin filled cells make their way to the surface of the skin

Gentle Exfoliation

LHA

Thinning Skin: makes blood vessels more visible

Economic development ideas for Summerland In February, Chamber of Commerce staff attended two economic development workshops. One, held in Vancouver Feb. 13 to 14, was the first Local Economy Summit presented by B.C.’s Ten Percent Shift Campaign. This grass roots campaign started in 2010 and is gaining momentum in many communities with the message that if consumers shifted just 10 per cent of their spending to locally owned businesses, it would make a significant difference in our local economy. Using media purchases as an example of a retail item we buy, research shows that when a person buys $100 worth of products online, none of that money is retained in the community. When they buy the same product from a large chain with a

local presence, $43 stays and circulates in the community. When the same $100 purchase is made at a locally owned small business, $68 stays in the community via wages and other professional services purchased by that business. That’s pretty significant. The Ten Percent Shift idea recognizes that it may not be practical to shift all our spending to local businesses and in fact, a local option may not exist for every item. When it comes to economic development we may feel that there isn’t much that we can do as individuals. But this is an idea which we can all practice beginning today. Give some thought to where you can buy what you need and want right here in Summerland. The second work-

shop was held on Feb. 25 in Kamloops. This session was Economic Development Essentials for Local Leaders, geared to rural communities and presented by the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training. Business retention and expansion was the focus of this workshop with many longer term ideas of what communities need to do to attract new business and provide for the expansion of existing companies. A key element of this concept is the availability of industrial land for development. The development of industrial land has a direct economic benefit to the community through positive tax revenues and also contributes extensively to job creation. For every 100 jobs created in manufacturing, many more jobs are created

Chamber Corner

Christine Petkau to support them. These other jobs are in retail, hospitality, auto services, and health, financial and business services. In Summerland a lack of industrial land for building and expansion was identified in the Okanagan industrial land inventory in 2008. This need may be met in part by the development of the new Bentley Road Industrial Park which the District of Summerland has been working on for

a number of years. The 7.2 hectares of land that has been identified adjacent to the existing industrial park will be a significant expansion. This development plan timeline is on target and the Chamber and other business partners will support the District in the marketing of this new industrial park. Economic development takes many different forms. I’ve only touched on two here. There is a part for all of us to play in improving the economic climate of our town. We always appreciate your feedback. Please contact me at manager@summerlandchamber.com or our Chamber President, Arlene Fenrich, at president@summerlandchamber.com. Christine Petkau is the Manager of the Summerland Chamber of Commerce.

Students in School District 67 Okanagan-Skaha competed in the district science fair at Summerland Middle School this week.

The Grade 7 Summerland student had the chance to explain her investigation to students visiting from other schools.

Chamber vote secret despite names on ballots The ballots for the upcoming Summerland Chamber of Economic Development and Tourism election have a space at the top where voters must put their business name and business number. But Christine Petkau,

manager of the chamber, said the voting process is confidential. She said the top portion of the ballot, with the business name and license number, is removed at the registration desk before voting

takes place. Those who download a ballot and bring it in will be asked to fold the ballot to cover their votes before staff remove the top portion. Following the election, the ballots will be

destroyed. The chamber election is open to chamber members who have paid their licenses. Associate members must also be in good standing with their memberships paid in order to vote.

It sounds like your husband has been diagnosed with sleep apnea. As you know, obstructive sleep apnea is a condition where he stops breathing at times during his sleep. His body then has to wake up all night long to get the oxygen he needs which can make him very tired during the day. I’m assuming he snored for years and finally went to his MD for some testing and help. The CPAP provides your husband the oxygen he needs all night long, even when he is struggling to breathe. The CPAP can be a very effective solution for some, while others find it too cumbersome, too noisy, or not portable enough when travelling. A lot of CPAP users will take their mask off during the night and even turn off their machine. I’m not sure the reason your husband doesn’t like his CPAP but perhaps he is CPAP intolerant. For people who have sleep apnea and cannot use the CPAP we can make an oral appliance. The appliance pulls the lower jaw forward which opens the airway, thus making it easier to breathe. The benefits of the appliance are that it is silent, easily portable, and generally more comfortable. Finding a treatment for sleep apnea can be life changing for a lot of patients. Not all dentists are trained to treat sleep apnea, so ask your dentist first. 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 weekend!

Chiefs beat Steam in first round series

A promising start to playoffs ended for the Summerland Steam when they lost to the Kelowna Chiefs Saturday night at Summerland Arena. It was the firstround best of seven Kootenay International Junior Hockey (KIJHL) series. The Kelowna Chiefs now are battling out the second round against

the Osoyoos Coyotes. Summerland won the first two games at Rutland, and the Chiefs won two at Summerland to even up the first-round series. In the Feb. 27 game

at Rutland, the Chiefs edged out the Steam 1 to 0. In Saturday’s series-ending game, the Kelowna Chiefs scored 4 to Summerland’s 1. The lone goal for Summerland was in the third period, made by Olli Dickson with assists from Jackson DeMatos and Steve Semenoff. Third star went to Dickson for his efforts.

Whether in her garden, at work, traveling, volunteering or raising her family, Mom truly enjoyed life. Pre-deceased by her loving husband Malcolm; Mom will be sadly missed by her children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. She leaves us with wonderful memories, a deep sense of pride and an enduring love that will live in our hearts forever.

Heidi Frioud died peacefully at home after a long struggle with dementia on Saturday February 23,2013 at the age of eighty. She will be missed and fondly remembered by Henri her loving husband of over 50 years, her children Jackie (Mark). Pierre (Meena) and Stephanie, grandchildren Sophie, Kieran, Anita and Devin. Heidi is survived by her brothers Robert, Richard and sister Kitty. Heidi was born in Munich, Germany; she grew up in England and moved to Canada at the age of 18. She graduated from UBC and Normal School in Vancouver, following which she taught school in several towns in BC including Summerland. Heidi had a great sense of adventure and loved traveling. In 1974-75 she convinced the family to travel around the world, in part by freighter from Yugoslavia to New Zealand, where we lived for a memorable nine months. Upon our return, Heidi took over Summerland Travel and enjoyed sending people all over the world until her retirement. She also enjoyed tennis, badminton, swimming, skiing and bridge. We will miss her sense of humour and her smile, and how she loved to have fun. Heidi was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She may be gone but her spirit remains. We would like to thank Dr. Venkataraman, the public health nurses, Debbie, Joanne, and Gina, and Heidi’s wonderful caregiver, Margo. We are also very grateful to her good friends Pat and Marianne. A celebration of Heidi’s life will be held in June. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Providence Funeral Homes, Summerland Chapel.

Ballet Kelowna celebrates first decade No passport required as Ballet Kelowna wraps up its first decade of artistic excellence with a performance that takes the audience on a journey through Spain, Russia, England and then home to Canada. The trip begins in Spain with the pas de trois from Paquita, a story of a beautiful gypsy girl who falls in love with a French nobleman, and then to England with Journey Out of Darkness, a performance that moves from sorrow to hope, loss to salvation.

Francis Nakagawa, second from left, led participants in a traditional Japanese dance following the Summerland Museum’s Annual General Meeting on Saturday. The museum’s new exhibit will recognize the contributions of Summerland’s Japanese community.

Japanese heritage celebrated On Saturday evening at the IOOF Hall, Summerland celebrated its significant Japanese heritage. The program was part of the Summerland Museum’s Annual General Meeting. Many of Summerland’s earliest pioneers were of Japanese origin. The presentation began with a photographic display by Marge Kuroda. Amy Yamabe then provided her memories of school days in Summerland. Then Chico Inaba reviewed Summerland’s sister city

relationship with Toyokoro Japan. His presentation included photographs of the 2006 and 2010 visits to Toyokoro. The program concluded with a traditional dance group led by Francis Nakagawa. Her presentation proved popular and many of the audience joined in. The entertainment for the evening was arranged by museum board member Bernice Shiosaki. In May our Museum will feature a display about our community’s important Japanese heritage.
