municipal design committee has reviewed the plans. On Thursday afternoon, developers met with the committee to present their plans. “This is the first step in the development permit process,” said municipal planner Ian McIntosh.

Now that the committee has reviewed the plans, the permit application will come before council for approval. Once council has given its approval, the next step in the process is the building permit. The plans presented show the design of the

first building in what is expected to become a multi-phase project. The building, which will be at the corner of Wharton Street and Kelly Avenue, facing Memorial Park, will house the museum and library once it is completed. It will also contain resi-

dential units. The design has a terraced appearance, with the upper floors of the five-storey building set back from the main level. “It’s a big building, but it feels small,” said Joe Mahovlich, one of the developers. See DEVELOPMENT Page 7

The first building in the proposed Wharton Street development project would include the Summerland Museum, the Summerland branch of the Okanagan Regional Library and residential units. The municipality’s design committee reviewed plans for the development last week.

Interim treasurer selected Search underway for permanent position to fill role of financial officer by John Arendt As the municipality looks to replace its treasurer, a temporary replacement has been selected.

On April 8, Ed Sykora will begin a three-month contract with the municipality. Municipal administrator Tom Day said Sykora has a lengthy background in local government financial work. He served as the chief financial officer for Central Saanich

on Vancouver Island for many years. Day said Sykora also has expertise in the municipality’s financial software. The municipality is also advertising for a permanent treasurer. Day said applications will be accepted until

April 8. After that time, the municipality will review the applications and conduct reference checks before hiring a financial officer. Ken Ostraat, the former treasurer for the municipality, resigned from the position last month. He had served with the

municipality around 21 years. At the last municipal council meeting on March 25, Day was named interim chief financial officer and municipal planner Ian McIntosh was appointed acting chief administrative officer in the absence of the administrator.

Police Report Drivers suspended

Two motorists received 90-day roadside driving prohibitions and had their vehicles impounded for 30 days in separate incidents last week. On March 28 at 9 p.m., police stopped the driver of a Honda Ridgeline for speeding. Police said the driver showed signs of impairment and was given a roadside impairment test, which he failed. The driver was a 56-year-old Calgary man. A few hours later, on March 28 at 12:40 a.m., police on Peach Orchard Road stopped the driver of a BMW for speeding. The driver, a 35-year-old Summerland woman, showed signs of impairment, police said. She also failed a roadside impairment test.

Yard lights pulled out

On April 1 at 10:30 p.m., police were called when teens on Harvey Avenue were seen pulling out yard lights at a property. Police stopped a 15-year-old girl, who later provided an apology to the homeowner.

Railway cars damaged

On April 1, police received a call from the Kettle Valley Steam Railway following vandalism to old cabooses and railway equipment. The equipment, parked away from the station on Bathville Road, is believed to have been vandalized over the winter. Windows were broken and there was damage to the insides of the railway cars.

Summerland Review Thursday, April 4, 2013

Planning model has changed Deer Ridge was formed when focus was on hillside development by John Arendt The initial Deer Ridge development, north of Prairie Valley Road, might not have been approved by today’s municipal council, but two decades ago, the approach to planning was different. At the time, strong efforts were in place to protect and preserve agricultural land in the valley bottoms, resulting in hillside development instead. “I realize why Deer Ridge was put in 20 years ago,” said Mayor Janice Perrino.

“It was to preserve land.” Today, she wonders if it was the best use of the land. The development, on a hillside, is accessed by a steep road. Because it is on rocky terrain, not serviced by the sewer system, there have been ongoing problems with runoff and seepage from the homes in the area. During her time as mayor, Perrino has advocated development and infilling near the core of the community, creating a community where the majority of the residents are a short walk from most businesses and amenities. This compact community concept also results in easier and

less expensive costs for services such as roads, sewer, power and water. “We have to think in a common-sense manner about how we manage our infrastructure costs,” she said. The proposed expansion in the Deer Ridge area, which passed second and third reading at the last municipal council meeting on March 25, allows for additional development there. However, the bylaw considered would also have the developer pay the costs of bringing the sewer service to the neighbourhood. This cost alone is expected to come in at well over $1 million.

Snow pack near normal While the snow in Summerland has melted, the snow pack in the mountains is near historic levels for this time of the year. Scott Lee, water operations manager for the municipality, said the most recent readings, taken at Summerland Reservoir and Isintok Lake, show a significant snow pack at both locations. At Summerland Reservoir, the snow depth on Thursday was 68 centimetres, or the equivalent of 224 millimetres of water. This is 100 per cent of the long-term average.

A month earlier, the snow pack at that location was 88 per cent of the normal level. At Isintok Lake, the snow pack measured 57 centimetres, or the equivalent of 176 millimetres of water. This is 88 per cent of the long-term average at that location. In March, the snow pack at Isintok Lake was at 99 per cent of the long-term average there. Snow survey results are calculated every month from Jan. 1 to May 1 and then twice a month until the last of the snow pack has melted.

NOTICE The Board of Education School District No. 67 (Okanagan Skaha) will hold a PUBLIC MEETING to receive 2013-14 budget presentations on April 10, 2013, 7:00 p.m. at Penticton Secondary School Library 158 Eckhardt Avenue W., Penticton, BC Members of the public are invited to provide recommendations and/ or suggestions for consideration by the Board of Education during development of the district’s annual operating budget.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Business Methods Patents In the U.S., it is now possible to protect not only the products you sell by a patent but also the way you do business. The U.S. Patent Office now recognizes "Business Method Patents". This patent allows a Company to protect successful methods of doing business. An example of this new patent law is found with Dell Computers. They have applied for and received a Business Methods Patent for their direct to consumer and build to order sales approach. Most people associate Patent Law and patents with tangible goods. This new area of Patent Law goes far beyond that. Given the pace of technology and the very high stakes in business these days, it is easy to see why business people are taking all the steps they can to protect themselves.

EDITORIAL

our pick

Developing downtown A year ago, developers first showed the public their concept for the Wharton Street project. On Friday, they returned to present their plans to the municipality’s design committee. While the final decision to approve the project rests with municipal council, the approval from the design committee represents another step in making the project a reality. Developers hope to begin construction of the first fivestorey building this summer, with an occupancy date planned for December, 2014. The development will represent a significant change in the look and feel of the downtown area, since the project is to include residential units as well as the museum and library. With more residential units near the downtown, it is possible the area would have more activity downtown in the evenings. Elsewhere in Summerland, there are a number of residential pockets, farther from the downtown, which are proving difficult and expensive to service. The costs of providing utilities and the costs of road maintenance, are significant. While the Wharton Street project will affect the character of the area, it is important to remember this is not a unique concept, even in Summerland. A recent development on Rosedale Avenue at Peach Orchard Road and a recent development on Victoria Road North near Jubilee Road West both feature residential units in the upper levels. These developments all fit with the present council direction of infilling and increasing the density close to the core of the community. When the costs of servicing outlying neighbourhoods and the convenience of core developments are appreciated, it is likely Summerland will see other developments, similar to the Wharton Street proposal, in the years to come.

While the construction work at the intersection of Victoria Road South and Prairie Valley Road is an inconvenience at present, the work is badly needed. The intersection has long been one of the most used and most congested in Summerland. A four-way stop was no longer adequate there. The project, once completed, will make the area safer while also improving the flow of traffic.

Greenhouse gas leaks from trust VICTORIA – The Pacific Carbon Trust orchestrated a months-long campaign of calls and letters to discredit a report from B.C.’s Auditor General on its first two big carbon offset projects, before it could be released. Just as the audit report was about to be made public, the trust, a Crown corporation created at taxpayer expense, Tom Fletcher participated in the leaking of selected critical letters to media outlets. Then the Speaker of the B.C. legislature, Bill Barisoff, made a final, clumsy effort to delay the release of the report. As soon as it was out, Environment Minister Terry Lake tried to discredit it, by blustering about all the highly paid experts who swore up and down that a forest reserve near Kootenay Lake, and a gas flaring reduction project near Fort Nelson, were bona fide carbon offsets worth $6 million of taxpayers’ money. The audit states in plain language, with charts and timelines, that the $6 million was basically given away for nothing. I look forward to further audits on this carbon offset scheme, assuming it survives after the May election, because these two projects aren’t the only boondoggles. The Pacific Carbon Trust

was set up in 2008 as part of former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate change program. To make the B.C. government’s operations “carbon neutral,” the government and all of its agencies were required to pay the trust $25 per tonne for their carbon dioxide emissions from fuel use. In 2011 alone, B.C. universities paid $4.46 million to the trust. B.C.’s 60 school districts paid a total of $5.36 million the same year, and the province’s six health authorities paid $5.79 million. The money is supposed to go to projects that capture carbon, thus “offsetting” the heating of schools, the fuel burned by ambulances and so forth. The 55,000-hectare forest reserve is known as Darkwoods. The audit shows that the Nature Conservancy of Canada decided in 2006 to buy it, using $25 million of federal taxpayers’ money. The deal closed in 2008, the same year the Pacific Carbon Trust was formed. From 2008 to 2010, the trust bought 450,000 tonnes of carbon offset, based on independent evaluations that all rested on the assumption that Darkwoods would be clear-cut logged. Since the forest was already owned by Canada’s leading conservancy, this assumption makes no sense. Was the conservancy going to log it, or flip it to someone who would, after accepting $25 million in tax money to acquire it? Legally, it could

not. (I would add that the assumption that logging releases all of the carbon in a forest is also false. Lumber actually sequesters carbon for longer than trees, which eventually die and rot.) The audit found a similar case against EnCana’s flare reduction program, which the company used on many wells before the trust started offering money. EnCana was saving money as well as reducing emissions without collecting offsets. Therefore, the audit concluded, neither of these projects was a credible offset because the emissions savings would have occurred anyway. Here’s the next Pacific Carbon Trust project that should be audited. In a complicated transaction, the trust bought offsets from something called the Great Bear Carbon Credit Limited Partnership. Yes, this is the world-famous forest on B.C.’s North Coast that was subject to a preservation deal hammered out between the Coastal First Nations, the B.C. government and three U.S.-backed environmental groups. That was in 2006. The offset purchases were in 2009 and 2010, years after detailed preservation areas were mapped and codified in law. Again, the trust paid for forest that was already preserved.

bad apples British Columbia has the toughest impaired driving laws in Canada, but some motorists still do not seem to appreciate the severity of the penalties. Last week, there were two incidents where impaired motorists received 90-day driving prohibitions and had their vehicles suspended for 30 days. Despite these penalties, the drivers should consider themselves fortunate that they were stopped before they could cause an accident.

The Early years

Cell phone rates much too high Dear Editor: According to Openmedia.org, “Canadians pay some of the highest cell phone fees and are forced into some of the worst contracts in the industrialized world. Our broken cell phone market limits our use of mobile Internet technologies, and with it our creativity and entrepreneurship.” Providing more choice for Canadians is crucial to innovation, and the success of our economy. Canadians suffer from poor service because three big cell phone conglomerates control nearly

94 per cent of the market. To make matters even worse, Rogers has come up with a plan to block our access to the few affordable mobile services that do exist by obtaining scarce wireless spectrum assets. This will mean more control for Big Telecom and higher prices and less choice for you and your family.” Canadians must continue to fight for cell phone and internet affordability. If you have internet access, go to Openmedia. org/newspaper. This site provides a

letter-writing tool which gives us a powerful way to speak out and wake up our local MPs. You can help by writing to your local newspaper to speak out against disrespectful service, pricegouging, and a lack of choice for telecom services in Canada. I encourage each and every Canadian to learn more at www.DemandChoice.ca, and read OpenMedia.ca’s study about Canada’s dysfunctional cellphone market at www.openmedia.ca/ UpgradeCanada S. Sadler Penticton

Wireless service rate changes are needed Dear Editor: Many people who haven’t been to many other countries may not be aware that the price of mobile phone-internet is actually much much less than it is in Canada. Japanese have been sitting in a moving subway underground watching sports in HD on their phones since... last year you might think? Nope, 2007. In Canada we pay triple on everything just to receive lame packages which have forced many of us into some of the worst contracts in the world.

Our Industry Minister, Christian Paradis, has the ability to enforce the government’s rules for cell phone service but so far has not done so. Tens of thousands have spoken up to him already at www.demandchoice.ca. The government’s decision about wireless spectrum is an excellent chance to change a bad situation, and unlock the potential of our digital economy. These scarce public spectrum assets should be invested in our digital future. Jesse Lee Kelowna

Tax credit benefits mining exploration

Just don’t drop it!

Photo courtesy of the Summerland Museum

Crews have been working diligently, shuttling back and forth with machinery and sledgehammers, to prepare the tracks for the Kettle Valley Steam Railway’s 2013 season beginning in May. About one hundred years ago crews were preparing for the very first season of railway travel through Summerland as the KVR line was constructed. In this photo, a steam crane is used to build Trout Creek trestle, the third largest steel girder bridge in North America at that time—619 feet (188.7 metres) long, 241 feet (73.5 metres) high. The KVR has been called “one of the strangest railways ever built.”

Dear Editor: I would like to suggest something for the voters of B.C. to consider when deciding who to vote for in May: The current government has established a 20 per cent refundable mining exploration tax credit, which, for pine beetle affected lands, increases to 30 per cent. This tax credit runs through to Jan. 17, 2017 and it has already resulted in the best few years ever for investment in mineral

exploration in B.C. Not only has this tax credit resulted in exploration jobs for British Columbians, it has also resulted in increased business for motels, local airlines, community restaurants, and a host of other small businesses that rely on mining exploration activity. So, what happens if all of this comes to an end after May 14? We can choose to maintain a strong mining

exploration climate by voting for a government that supports the socioeconomic well being and economic stability of our communities, or we can turn the clock back to a time when exploration investment, and the jobs it supports, went elsewhere. For me, it’s not a very hard choice to make and I know which one I will be making in May. How about you? Randy Rinaldo Burnaby

Thursday, April 4, 2013 Summerland Review

I first heard of this concept from David Black a number of years ago. At the time I was skeptical of its chances. My initially negative attitude was based mainly on my experience of 10 years service on the board of directors of Imperial Oil. Since I was accustomed to the discussion of petroleum economics centered in Calgary, I saw no need for a refinery in Kitimat. That attitude was based on the fact that there had not been a new refinery built in North America in many years. And any needed increase in petroleum production was achieved by expansion of existing refineries throughout North America. But after my service with Imperial Oil, I went on to serve four years at Canfor which led to my nine visits to China in search of lumber markets. My exposure to the phenomenal expansion of China’s economy opened my eyes to the true merit of the Kitimat refinery concept. It made me realize that it would not be just another refinery relying on the North America market but rather a refinery that would supply the vast appetite of China for petroleum products. The challenge will be to draw the attention of Asian investors who would see the value to this investment. It appears that David Black, after many years of effort, is nearing an agreement that could provide the vast capital infusion needed to make this refinery initiative a reality. The appetite for oil products for all Asia will continue to grow and the Kitimat refinery is ideally situated to take advantage. Asian countries,

especially China, are very interested in securing sustainable supply of resources that will flow freely without undue trade barriers like surprises with taxes, regulations or tariffs. Canada has a good reputation as a free trade country that can be relied on as a dependable source of supply. Now is a very opportune time to attract the vast investment needed to make the Kitimat refinery go ahead. David Black, with his years of diligence , deserves our appreciation for displaying the foresight and courage to invest his time, money and reputation to help bring along this huge initiative. The positive merits of the Kitimat refinery are so profound that this project is really beyond any political persuasion. Any and all supporters of NDP, Liberal, Conservative or even Green should see the tremendous benefits that would come to B.C. with this project. This initiative will involve the investment of many billions of dollars. That’s for sure. It’s hard for any of us to visualize a million let alone a billion of any thing. So lets look at the “on the ground” facts of such an undertaking for all of us in B.C. Lets start with the big picture. When it comes to the benefits of a petroleum cycle from well exploration to the gas station, the jurisdiction that hosts the refining process enjoys a huge portion of the value addition to the raw material. For the KRC Project that would mean several thousand mostly trade union jobs for the multi-year term of the construction phase. It would also mean the creation of over 3000 permanent jobs for the operation and

supply support of the refinery when running. This refinery would be processing 175 million barrels per year which means the tax revenue that could go toward health care, education, vital services for the disabled and elderly would be immense. But job creation and tax revenue is not the only desirable feature of the KRC. It also would provide much lower risk to the marine environment. The shipments out of the refinery would be finished product like aviation fuel, gasoline and diesel These products if ever spilt would be much less impactful on the marine environment. They would also be transported in smaller ships. I know there are those on both sides of the political aisle that address this as a political issue. And I would disagree with both. This is a project that can be attractive to all political stripes. Trade unions would see a significant increase in jobs and memberships. Hospitals and schools across the province would see an improvement in government funding. Business activity especially in the challenged north west BC would be very positively impacted. And those with a concern for the threat of marine spills would see a significantly reduced exposure for the environment. Based on the huge positive impact this initiative could have on B.C., I think the question should not be if we want it....but rather, how can we help make sure that the petroleum world sees this as an attractive way to invest billions of shareholder capital. Jim Shepard the retired president of Finning and Canfor, two of B.C.’s largest companies, and a past director of Imperial Oil.

Proposed buildings

The first building in the Wharton Street project is planned for the corner of Wharton Street and Kelly Avenue. The developers hope to construct additional buildings later. Construction is expected to begin this summer, with the first building completed by December, 2014.

Development includes much pedestrian space Continued from Page 1

There is a lot of pedestrian space in the design. Randy Gibson, one of the developers, said those involved with the project have received comments and made changes as a result. One of those changes came from a suggestion that the building should be bright.

The colours will include tan and red brick. Gibson said the developers hope to begin construction this summer as they work for an occupancy date of December, 2014. The present development is the second time a largescale development concept has been pro-

posed for the area. Earlier, Kamloopsbased developer Mike Rink of New Futures Development Group had been considering a sevenstorey development at the same site, but the plan expired Jan. 15, 2011. The present developers first presented their plans to the public a year ago.

A good habit can take a few weeks to develop. So I encourage you to floss once a day, every day until it becomes part of your routine. I recommend flossing before you brush for two reasons. First, tooth paste is very abrasive, especially the whitening toothpastes that many of us use. So if you brush before flossing, the toothpaste will be on the floss and can cause damage to the roots of your teeth. You can actually do more damage with the toothpaste on your brush than the bristles. The second reason for flossing first is to remove food out from between your teeth and brush it away. If you have bleeding after flossing (and you may if you are just starting your routine), the blood can leave a bad taste in your mouth, whereas toothpaste can leave your mouth minty fresh --I love that feeling! Another common question about flossing is how long should I floss? My hygienist encourages me to pull the floss between my teeth, then form a c-shape around the tooth in front and go back and forth until I hear the floss squeak--or until it is squeaky clean. Then repeat on the tooth behind. You only need to floss the teeth you want to keep! 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!

Last-minute rush to return to PST by Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The brief era of the harmonized sales tax ended in B.C. Monday, with a lastminute scramble by thousands of businesses to register as collectors of the revived provincial sales tax. About 100,000 businesses in B.C. are required to register and collect PST from customers. By the Easter weekend, about 80,000 of them had done so, said Naomi Yamamoto, B.C.’s minister of state for small business. “I think what most consumers will be doing is looking at their receipts,” Yamamoto said Sunday. “In most cases they’ll be paying the same as they did prior to

April 1, unless you’re getting your hair cut, or buying a ski ticket or you’re paying your golf membership or going to a restaurant, or buying a bike.” The good news for barbers, bike shops, restaurants and other labour service providers is that they see a seven per cent tax reduction. The bad news is that they have to administer two sales taxes, the PST and the five per cent GST, which continues to apply to goods and services. Yamamoto said businesses can register online by going to www.pstinbc.ca or www.gov.bc.ca/ pst and selecting the registration link. Using incorporation documents, the process should take about 15 minutes.

Switch to natural gas and save Natural gas offers convenience, comfort and affordability. And when you switch from fuel oil or propane to a high-efficiency natural gas heating system, you could get a $1,000 rebate.3 To learn more, visit fortisbc.com/switchnshrink. These are approximate annual natural gas costs for space heating of a typical household in specific FortisBC service areas as identified. A typical household is defined as an existing single family house approximately 2,300 square feet with three occupants, average insulation and heating systems older than 15 years. The savings will be the difference between what you pay for current heating costs and natural gas costs. Calculations based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of January 2013 and fuel oil rates in each service area identified as of November 2012, and include the applicable carbon tax. Savings may vary by household. Savings do not include potential rebates and/or incentives. 1

Fuel rates for the Columbia region are similar to those of the Interior south and Interior north regions as of January 2013.

Summerland Review Thursday, April 4, 2013

Economic development on two wheels Last month I wrote about the economic benefits that can come to our community via shopping local and how the availability of industrial land makes it possible for businesses to expand and move to Summerland. This month I’d like to turn the spotlight on a different kind of economic benefit – the kind that comes from enhanced recreational opportun-

ities in our region. At the Visitor Centre we see requests regularly for information about biking and hiking trails. A study released in February by the U.S. Outdoor Industry Association states that the outdoor recreation industry is an overlooked economic giant and that Americans spend twice as much on it than they do on cars or pharmaceuticals

- $646 billion to be exact. Here in the South Okanagan we have the opportunity right now to create a world class biking pathway to rival tourism destinations in Europe or the United States. Groups throughout our region have been working on this pathway for some time and are on track to complete this project. Building on exist-

ing infrastructure the Okanagan Lakeside Multiuse Pathway Project will allow bicyclists to travel from Osoyoos all the way to Kelowna on trails connected from existing Okanagan River pathways, old rail spur lines, existing pathways in Peachland and West Kelowna and the Trans Canada Trail. The Trans Canada Trail Committee and

Trails B.C. intend to fill in the gaps in these trails by 2016. Interestingly two key gaps are in Summerland – the stretch between lower town and Illahie Beach and the lakeside between Sunoka Park and Penticton. The Rotary Club of Summerland is spearheading the efforts to close these gaps and the necessary experts in engineering, environment, etc. have identified cost effective ways to create these paths. The first stretch can be completed this year with the Sunoka to Penticton portion completed next year. I see that as a Craigellachie moment. History proved there that joining Eastern and Western Canada via rail was good for the economy. Closing the loop in the Okanagan will be good for our economy. Portions of the trail will go right through downtown Summerland on Victoria Road. In Germany where the world famous

Chamber Corner

Christine Petkau Lake Constance bike route is located, 400,000 bikers each year use the trail. More importantly, the trail can be used from March into November, giving our region a huge boost in the shoulder seasons. Much of the information here has been provided by Don Gemmell from the Summerland Rotary Club. He states, “as this project achieves its

potential, it will energize our hospitality industry, boost wine tourism and provide us all with world class recreational opportunities”. Evidently economic development takes many different forms. There is a part for all of us to play in improving the economic climate of our town. This project involves two regional districts and at least six Okanagan communities. Let’s support it. We always appreciate your feedback. Please contact me at manager@summerlandchamber.com or our chamber president, Arlene Fenrich, at president@summ e r l a n d c h a m b e r. com . Christine Petkau is the Manager of the Summerland Chamber of Commerce.

Two sides to tax issue

There are many lessons to be learned as we travel along the road of life, one of those is the need to always recognize that there are two sides on every issue. Nowhere is this lesson more true than in public office as elected officials very quickly learn issues that at first glance may seem simple are often far more complex once additional information is provided. The same holds true for taxpayers. Often it is very difficult to understand the decisions made by elected officials in large part due to the fact that governments often do not do a very effective job in communicating to citizens. On April 1, B.C. reverted back to the PST (from the HST.) It must be pointed out that government did a very poor job in explaining the benefits of HST over PST. My comments this week are not intend-

Nutritional Consultant A former resident (class of 82), I am thrilled to be back in Summerland and invite old friends and new clients to my holistic health practice. As a Registered Nutritionist, my focus is to educate you on making and maintaining nutritional and lifestyle choices that help you prevent disease and build superior health. - Lifestyle assessments - Dietary consults - Supplement reviews - Symptom analysis

ed to revisit this issue but rather to point out the importance of communication between government and taxpayers. Recently we were all saddened to hear of the passing of former Alberta Premier Ralph Klein. Much has been said about the many legacies and lessons that Klein shared with not just Alberta, but Canada as a country. Above all else Klein was a very effective communicator with citizens and from my perspective it is very rewarding that Premier Klein is being widely recognized in many different circles for his unique but sincere ability to make a difference. I believe most citizens run for public office with the best of intentions and to make a difference however not all achieve the goals they set out to accomplish. Getting things done within government is often very different than in the private sector and I believe it is important to recognize leaders like Klein who were instrumental in bringing about great change. It should also not be forgotten that not

Victoria Views

Bill Barisoff all leaders in public office are recognized for those things they do, often very quietly behind the scenes. Much has been said recently about the Penticton Regional Hospital expansion project, and some of that information is not accurate. When I decided to put my name forward to run for reelection in 2009, I did so in large part because many significant projects we had worked on for years were very close to ground breaking, but had not yet broken ground. The Penticton Hospital Expansion was not among these capital projects, in fact this expansion was only first raised with me in September, 2010. It also must be noted that it was not the local medical community or Interior Health that raised

this project. Former Keremeos Mayor and chair of the Okanagan-Similkameen Regional Hospital District Walter Despot was in fact the true champion of this project. Despot was a tenacious advocate for this hospital expansion and met directly with the leadership of the Interior Health authority, the Minister of Health at that time, and respective MLAs, MPs along with fellow mayors and councillors. Behind closed doors this capital expansion was not referenced as being the “top” priority of Interior Health — a fact that did not in any way deter Despot. Over the past two years the RDOS, through the Regional Hospital District, has been working diligently towards making the business case for the Hospital expansion and also setting aside funding. Current chair and a community leader very familiar with the Penticton Hospital Janice Perrino, is now carrying on with the work that Walter Despot started. For the record, I firmly support this much-needed project and believe it will begin construction in the near future. When that day arrives at the opening ceremonies when the ribbon will be cut I hope that all citizens take a moment to remember elected officials like Walter Despot who worked quietly, but effectively behind the scenes to make a difference. Bill Barisoff is the MLA for the riding of Penticton.

Arts and Culture Week events planned

The Summerland Community Arts Council will mark Arts and Culture Week with a number of special events and activities later this month. The week, which runs from April 21 to 27, includes activities

from many of the member arts groups in the community. Arts and Culture Week events begin on Sunday, April 21 as the arts centre will host the Kids Zone for Earth Week. Other activities and events are also

scheduled. Artists are encouraged to participate in a postcard challenge. Postcard-sized submissions on the theme, Beyond Tomorrow: What My World Will Look Like In The Future, will be dis-

played at the centre during Arts and Culture Week. Submissions may include hand-drawn, painted, beaded, quilted, sewn or other artistic expressions. Postcards measuring 13 by 18 centimetres are available at the Summerland Arts Centre. The deadline for submis-

sions is April 15. Members of the public will be able to vote for their favourite pieces. The winners will be announced on April 30. Each category will have a people’s choice award. The centre will also have passports with a list of arts and cul-

ture attractions and groups. These include the Summerland Museum, the Summerland branch of the Okanagan Regional Library, the Summerland Art Gallery and Artist in Residence Brandy Maslowski’s studio at the Wharton Street entrance of the arts centre.

Gibbs said people can have their passports stamped at each of the participating locations. The Arts Award will also be presented during this week. A presentation ceremony will be held at the Summerland Arts Centre on Friday, April 26 from 7 to 9 p.m.

The Summerland United Church, in association with the Summerland Singers and Players, is presenting a musical melodrama entitled The Fallen Saved as a fundraiser with monies raised going towards the operational costs of the Community Support Centre. The newly renovated Community Support Centre, which also houses the Summerland Food Bank, is planning its grand opening some time in May. The food bank area

is now completely rebuilt and operational. The typical 19thcentury melodrama, complete with a hero, heroin and villain will be performed in the style used in the Victorian era, very much exaggerated along with signs to tell the audience when to react with hisses, boos, cheers and jeers. The story enacted will be that of an outstanding citizen who is in the position of raising money for the heroin, with the villain being a lawyer who encourages the hero to drink the

“demon rum.” Each of the five cast members will have a theme song, walking and moving to its rhythm. The chorus of 25 will lead the audience in a sing along to songs popular from the era, including The Band Played On, Bird in a Gilded Cage, and Home Sweet Home. One of the two offices is already being used by the Penticton and Area Women’s Centre on Thursday mornings. John Bubb of the United Church expressed the hope that several agencies would make use of

the office space. “We are trying to make it easy for the service providers to come and serve their clients in Summerland, rather than our citizens travelling to Penticton or Kelowna to access the services,” he said. The upcoming fundraiser will be held at the United Church on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 18 to 20 at 7:30 p.m. as well as Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at Indulgences, James on Kelly and at Summerland United Church.

Students and seniors will build casino wheels and activity boards during the final Wonderful Woodworking Project which begins later this month. This session of the Canada New Horizons Grant, run through the Summerland Asset Development Initiative, will build legacy equipment for both the Summerland Seniors Village and the Dr. Andrews

Pavilion. The equipment will include two casino wheels which will be used for entertainment such as a casino night, Wheel of Fortune or any other activities where the wheel can be used. The group will also build some activity boards that will be used as stimulation for residents with dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. The board will be

tactile, covered in devices that can be manoeuvred in different ways. It will be a positive memory trigger for its users. Organizers are always looking for seniors and youth to participate. The goal of these projects is not only to build the equipment but also to

provide a venue for senior and youth to get together and to learn from each other and to learn important life skills that can be passed on from generation to generation. The project will begin at the SADI Unity Youth Centre, 9117 Prairie Valley Rd. on Monday, April 8 from 4 to 6 p.m.

Summerland Review Thursday, April 4, 2013

Artists create banners by Carla McLeod The Summerland Community Arts Council has once again opened its Banner Studio, promoting the Street Banner Project. The community is encouraged to help beautify the streets by painting a banner. Mikaela Etter, banner coordinator, supervises and helps complete the banners. She expressed amazement at the amount of talent shown by the children who partici-

pated this year, some as young as six years old. “They’d zone out and stay for hours,” she said. There are 150 spots for the banners. Etter said they almost have a full stack of new ones, which means some of the older banners which have been used for several years can now be replaced. As residents and tourists enjoy looking at the colourful hand painted banners adorning the streets this summer, all will be able to appreciate the talent that Summerland has to offer.

Thursday, April 4, 2013 Summerland Review (NC) – How much vehicle horsepower do we really need? Horsepower is an important factor to consider when looking at an automobile’s fuel consumption. On average, today’s vehicles oﬀer about twice the horsepower of their counterparts from the early 1980’s. Progressive drivers today say they are assessing their choices based on fuel consumption, not on top speed and quarter-mile time. This change in mindset can save fuel and money, while also reducing emissions and helping the environment. More power generally means more fuel consumption. For example, manufacturers often oﬀer multiple engine choices for a given model. Consider for example, a compact vehicle, with a standard engine rated at 140 horsepower (hp), and the “sport” version, rated at 201 hp. The combined

fuel consumption ratings are 6.4 and 8.4 litres/100 kilometres (L/100 km) respectively. The more powerful engine also requires premium fuel. At today’s fuel prices of about $1.20/L for regular gasoline and $1.30/L for premium, the increased fuel cost for higher horsepower is $6,480 over 200,000 km. Combined with a higher purchase price for the vehicle, the additional horsepower represents a substantial cost premium. Drivers can make a difference as follows: Make fuel efficiency an important consideration when buying a new vehicle; Only buy what you need. Carefully assessing your needs as a driver is one of the most important steps in choosing a fuel-efficient vehicle. When possible, choose a smaller, lighter vehicle with the smaller, more fuel-efficient engine option.
