Penny Lane closes Charity shops contributed $2 million for youth by John Arendt Summerland’s Penny Lane Bargain Outlet stores, which provided funding for the youth of

the community, will close their doors at the end of May. The Summerland Charity Shops Society announced the closures on Monday. The first of the two shops, on Victoria Road North, opened in July,

2002, with a second location, on Main Street, opening after that. In the past, Sears Canada had been the supplier for Penny Lane, but that relationship came to an end at the end of October. “We are very thankful

to Sears Canada for their many years of partnership with Penny Lane,” the society said in a news release. “Without the support of Sears, Penny Lane would have never been able to help the youth and groups of the South Okanagan.”

Once the stores are closed, the society plans to find tenants for both locations. The society also plans to establish the Penny Lane Foundation, in order to continue assisting the youth of Summerland. See YOUTH Page 8

Contemplating growth

Municipal planner Ian McIntosh is compiling data and comments for the review of the municipality’s new Urban Growth Strategy. The strategy will be part of the Official Community Plan. Members of council and municipal staff hope to have at least 1,000 people providing input.

Input sought about growth by John Arendt

Members of council and planning staff want input from the public for the municipality’s new Urban Growth Strategy. The engagement campaign, Where do we Grow from Here?, runs from April to September. It begins with an online

survey at www.futuresummerland.com. The survey is also available at municipal hall. Updates are also available online via Twitter through @summerlandbc and at Facebook.com/ summerlandbc. Community dialogues will be held at municipal

hall on April 18 from 2 to 4 p.m. and on April 20 from 1 to 3 p.m. An interactive familyfriendly Cardboard City event will be held at the Earth week street festival on April 19 from 3 to 6 p.m. Municipal planner Ian McIntosh said the growth

strategy covers some of the contents of the Official Community Plan, which was adopted in 2008. Section 4.3 covers the municipal growth strategy. The community plan passed on a 4-3 vote and since its adoption, several significant changes have taken place.

The biggest of these came early in 2010 when the Summerland Hills Golf Resort development was abandoned. When the plan was adopted, Summerland Hills was the only area set aside for future growth in the community. See QUESTIONS Page 10

Wine tasting

Kurt Freistadt, seasonal visitor experience supervisor at Sumac Ridge Estate Winery, pours wine for a delegation of Veuve Clicquot growers and producers from the Champaign region in France on Tuesday afternoon. A total of 35 people were at the winery for the tasting of Sumac Ridge’s traditional method sparkling wines. An earlier group attended a tasting at the winery on March 26.

Sani-dump service returns Municipality will reopen site at Trout Creek pullout during the summer by John Arendt The sani-dump at the Trout Creek pullout in Summerland will reopen this summer on a trial basis. At the municipal council meeting on Monday evening, council voted unanimously to reopen the location for May to September on a trial basis. In the past, a sanidump facility had been in place at the site but it was later shut down because of

the costs involved in the operation of the system and the effects it had on the municipality’s sewer system. Don Darling, director of engineering and public works for the municipality, said municipal staff examined eight sites before choosing the Trout Creek pullout. “There’s really no ideal location,” he said. In a report to council, Darling said the sani-dump’s location, near the sewage treatment plant had been a problem in the past. “The Trout Creek sani-dump’s close proximity to the waste water treat-

ment plant does not allow sufficient time to dilute the emulsified solids prior to entering the waste water treatment plant,” the report said. “This causes problems with the treatment process.” The location also resulted in high costs because of the additional chemical requirements at the treatment plant. As a result, the wastes will no longer be treated at the waste water treatment plant. Instead, the wastes will be pumped and hauled away. At the busiest times in the summer, Darling expects

the facility will have to be pumped three times a week. Council will also implement a user pay system for the site. Darling recommended a user fee of $5 for those using the service. Members of council had concerns about the sani-dump. “The public does want this service,” said Mayor Janice

Perrino. “We want to be able to provide it.” “I think this is a good compromise,” said Coun. Bruce Hallquist. Coun. Orv Robson said a better site will be needed in the future. “My concern is the location,” he said. “I don’t think it’s a safe location. I think there are more reasonable areas.”

Two members of Summerland’s planning department were awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal at the municipal council meeting on Monday evening. Ian McIntosh, director of development services and Julie McGuire, climate action coordinator and planner were presented with the medals for their work on the update of Summerland’s zoning bylaw. The update work began three years ago and took a year to complete. The process used in updating the bylaw was sent to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and Summerland won a

sustainability award as a result. Officials at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities then recommended McIntosh and McGuire for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Award. “Truly, our staff is what makes our community so outstanding,” Mayor Janice Perrino said when she presented the medals. The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal was created to mark the 2012 celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the throne. A total of 60,000 Canadians will be recognized with the medals.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Don't park in Manitoba! If your goiing east this summer, be careful to lock your car in Winnipeg. I say that because a recent study has shown that Manitoba has a car theft rate that is twice the national average. That's right, twice the average!! Why this is the case, no one seems to have an answer for. Over 10,000 auto theft claims were reported to Manitoba Public Insurance Corp. last year. That's 1,148 vehicles stolen per 100,000 people. BC ranks behind Manitoba in these categories, however, we are still on the higher end of the scale. So the bottom line is, lock up your vehicle no matter where you are. Many studies have proven that most car theft is an opportunity related event. That is to say, if you give thieves the opportunity (open doors, keys in ignition, etc.) then you are dramatically increasing the chances of your car being stolen.

Growth plans Of all the decisions made at the municipal level, those dealing with land have the most significant impact. Once a development proceeds, it will remain for many decades and possibly longer. The update of the Urban Growth Strategy is badly needed as the growth plan in Summerland’s Official Community Plan is now out of date and in need of an overhaul. In the 2008 plan, the proposed Summerland Hills Golf Resort was set aside as the area for Summerland’s future growth. When the proposal was abandoned two years later, the plan no longer had an adequate and clearly defined area for future growth. In addition, the municipality’s approach to development changed in the years following the adoption of the plan. The preference, at the present council table, is for infilling and developing heavily in the area near the core of the community. An easy approach to the new Urban Growth Strategy would be to simply let municipal officials and consultants draft the plan and then have council adopt it. In the long run, however, such an approach would be unwise as the plan would not necessarily have the support of the public. A better option is to provide as many opportunities as possible for the public to be able to provide input and raise questions. The result becomes a plan which the public can support and embrace. Of course the public input cannot work unless the public takes an interest in the strategy. Unless a large number of Summerlanders offer their comments and suggestions, the plan will not truly represent the wishes of the community. During the public input process, please take the time to examine the options and offer your own input.

The murals in place at the Summerland Health Centre are necessary, even if they do not provide a direct medical benefit to those being treated there. Often, a medical centre is an overwhelming experience and for children, it can be extremely traumatic. Any efforts to provide something calming will help to reduce a little of the tension in such a facility.

It’s still easy being Green VICTORIA –This is the first of a series of policy commentaries on the four main parties contesting the 2013 B.C. election. I’m starting with the B.C. Green Party, which has higher than usual hopes for the 2013 election. It was also the first to put out a substantial policy document, albeit one that is still being debated Tom Fletcher and altered. Green Book 2013 continues the Utopian positions that only a party with no chance of forming a government has the luxury to put forward. For example, they would double the area of parks in B.C., but take 100 years to do it. Immediately, they would almost double the carbon tax, taking it from seven to 12 cents on a litre of gasoline. Greens would extend this steeply increased carbon tax to industries such as natural gas and cement production. Leader Jane Sterk told me she expects cement producers and the like to adapt, rather than shut down as their competitive position erodes. And what about the extra billions in carbon tax revenues? Sterk says most should continue to go to income tax reductions, as is now the case, because the purpose is to change consumption patterns, not to increase overall tax revenue.

Most, but not all. “We think there is an argument to be made for putting, for a period of time, the increased revenue from the carbon tax into creating the infrastructure that allows people to benefit from a carbon tax,” Sterk said. That means transit, and potentially retrofits of homes and other buildings as well. Tax increase aside, this is essentially the NDP position too. The Greens emphasize wind and geothermal power. Sterk faces the awkward task of arguing against hydroelectric expansion. A Green government would cancel the Site C dam project on the Peace River. Sterk says it would only serve as a subsidy to liquefied natural gas exports, which she doesn’t believe materialize as international competitors develop. The Greens’ star candidate, University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver, agrees. Both point to vast reserves of Russian gas that may well get to Asia more quickly and cheaply. Sterk said the 35,000 existing gas wells in northern B.C. “are not going to be shut down.” Actually, in the absence of LNG exports, that is exactly what would happen to many of them. The U.S. has its own shale gas supplies, and is B.C.’s only current export customer. Con-

verting transport trucks and BC Ferries to LNG fuel isn’t going to maintain the vast industry blooming in northern B.C. The official Green Party position is to place a moratorium on B.C. gas drilling while a comprehensive water use policy is developed. Current innovations such as reusing municipal wastewater are ignored. The Green platform also demands disclosure of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, which the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission has already done. If one were to design a selffulfilling prophecy that B.C.’s LNG project is doomed to fail, the Green Party platform would be a good place to start. Reading through Green Book 2013, I’m left with the impression that much of it remains calculated as a soothing message for urban voters who have been convinced it’s courageous to drive their cars down to an anti-tanker protest. If Weaver, Sterk or any other Greens get elected, it will be surfing a wave of protest votes from people weary of the B.C. Liberals and the NDP. It will not be due to the practicality or even internal consistency of their polices. It’s still pretty easy being Green. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

bad apples A sani-dump at the Trout Creek pullout will benefit visitors with recreational vehicles, but it could prove to be an inconvenient service for the municipality to provide. The last time a sani-dump service was offered at that location, dealing with the wastes was a costly problem. This time, by pumping and hauling the wastes, some difficulties will be eliminated, but it is still far from a perfect solution.

The Early years

Home-grown quality

Photo courtesy of the Summerland Museum

Though this photo was taken around 1910, these young orchards in Prairie Valley are a tribute to Earth Week. Farmers and orchardists in Summerland have provided residents with food choices since the first pioneers tilled the ground and planted the seeds. Choosing local food not only supports our producers and reduces the carbon footprint of shipping, it just plain tastes better. Home-grown—one of the benefits of living in Summerland.

Column on Darkwoods had errors Dear Editor: The recent release of a report by the B.C. Auditor General has led to a vigorous debate on the future of carbon neutral government. As a seller of carbon credits to the Pacific Carbon Trust, the Nature Conservancy of Canada looks forward to any clarity that may result in the B.C. carbon market. However, a recent column, “Greenhouse gas leaks from trust” by Tom Fletcher, perpetuates fac-

tual errors. Acquisition of a conservation project is the beginning of our work, not the end. When NCC purchased Darkwoods in 2008, our expensive, long-term commitment to the conservation lands began. From the outset, revenue from carbon sales was seen as critical to supporting this stewardship effort. Without the possibility of carbon sales NCC could not have

undertaken a project of the size and scope of Darkwoods. Yet, those facts are conveniently overlooked by Mr. Fletcher. Further he fails to understand the baseline used to calculate stored carbon at Darkwoods. Independent evaluations were not based on the possibility of NCC clear-cutting the property, but rather on what would have happened had NCC not acquired Darkwoods. The alternative was acquisition by a

market-based buyer. The land would have been intensively logged and subdivided. Mr. Fletcher asks, rhetorically if NCC would have logged Darkwoods. “Legally, it could not,” he writes. On the contrary, NCC does log the Darkwoods site. We operate a small, sustainable harvest based on conservation values that supports the property and the community. In fact, overall our ownership of Dark-

woods has resulted in a $13 million economic benefit to the community, to date. The Darkwoods Forest Carbon project was the first of its kind undertaken in Canada. The project is certified under the Verified Carbon Standard; a standard that ensures a carbon project follows internationally-recognized protocols and has tangible environmental benefits. The Nature Conservancy of Canada spent three years

developing the project, and exercised due diligence at every step while working with various industry experts. The project also fulfilled all provincial regulations and met all standards for carbon offsets. More importantly, Darkwoods is a world-class conservation project. Without revenue from forest carbon, the long-term protection of this vital 55,000 hectare property and the fate of animals and plants that find a haven

there would be in jeopardy. The proceeds from the carbon sales went back into the longterm stewardship of Darkwoods — for the sake of nature and the people of British Columbia. Darkwoods ensures in perpetuity, British Columbians will see the magnificent forest for the trees. Tom Swann Associate Regional Vice-President, B.C. The Nature Conservancy of Canada Vancouver

Information about guest columnist was missing Dear Editor: Re: Guest Column endorsing the Kitimat Refinery. Fair journalism was ignored by not warning

your readers about the back story of the guest column endorsing the proposed Kitimat Refinery. First, the man behind

the project is David Black, the owner of Black Press and the Summerland Review. Although Mr. Black has every right to use his journal to pro-

mote his project, readers deserve to be made aware of this connection. Second, the author of the “guest column” is Jim Shepard. He is the front

man for Concerned Citizens for B.C., a group that promotes unrestrained free enterprise. CC4BC is responsible for the current attack ads on NDP

leader Adrian Dix. It is the obligation of the press to inform its readers of these links. John Dorn Summerland, BC

Seniors’ Village staff help residents Dear Editor: My parents have lived in Summerland Senior’s Village since March 2009, in 24-hour residential care. Prior to this, my father spent time in two other facilities which were operated by Interior Health. During this time, my mother suffered a great decline due to her extreme agitation at the separation. She was being heavily medicated to control her anxiety and had recently been placed in a wheelchair for

her own safety. When my parents moved into Summerland Seniors’ Village, the staff there requested that my mother be seen by a geriatric specialist to review and reduce her medication. I arrived one day to see my mother walking toward me with a huge smile on her face. The care aides explained to me that they had borrowed a pair of hip protectors from another resident to see if my mother (now that her medication had been reduced) could safely get out of

her wheelchair and walk on her own. I went out that day and bought two pairs of hip protectors for her to use and she was able to put the wheelchair away. My father’s medication was also reviewed and reduced which resulted in his becoming more active again and able to participate in the many activities that are offered to the residents. These are just a few examples of the way that the staff

has endeavoured to not just provide quality care for my parents, but also to enhance their lives. Moving into Summerland Senior’s Village was the best thing that could have happened for my parents at that time. From the day that they settled in, there was a noticeable recovery in their contentment and their conditions improved. I try to visit my parents every day and I have gotten to know everyone who works there very well.

I admire and appreciate them all – the care aides, nursing staff, recreation, cleaning staff, food service – everyone there works together to create an atmosphere that is as much like a family, as it is a care facility. All while providing a level of care that is second to none. I believe that at a certain point in one’s life, quality of life is as important as quantity. That is what Summerland Senior’s Village has offered to my parents. Julie Sardinha Summerland

Design of Wharton Street building an eyesore Dear Editor: When I saw the Wharton Street plans on the front page of The Summerland Review, I had a dismal feeling: What an ugly design! The bottom store fronts are not integrated with the rest of the structure. The mid brick

section looks like a bleak factory with unimaginative windows, and the top looks like a chicken coop. So this is what we’re going to have to look at on our public property, an uninspiring building obscuring the view of lovely hills? Too bad!

The first design we were shown by this company almost a year ago, had dark brown brick and heavy black horizontal accents. At least this new design has lighter, friendlier colours. Dark brown brick with heavy black lines did not fit into

our environment. One wonders about the design capability of this company. The public wonders, too, about the construction, which will be concrete for the first four storeys and wood after that. Is this going to be another building that will be torn down in

40 or 50 years? It will be occupying a major spot in our town’s centre and should have grace and style. It doesn’t. What about the fire danger in the upper wooden floors? We don’t have fire equipment to reach that high, but we’re being told that

equipment can be perched on the upper concrete level if need be. And then a fire can be fought from there. It doesn’t seem that there’s any way to enforce quality into this construction either. We have to “hope” that it will be built well.

There are lots of empty condos in Summerland, and it’s not too difficult to find out why. A handsome building in our town’s centre could be an enhancement. This one in its present form won’t be. Marilyn Hansen Summerland

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 11, 2013

Staff are caring and accessible Dear Editor: Here is my perspective as a family member who has a mother living in Summerland Seniors’ Village for nearly five years and from my experience as a volunteer. First, my mom lived in assisted/ independent living but now lives in one of the 80 residential care beds. There are 120

assisted/independent living suites with 18 being funded by Interior Health. There are up to 200 residents living at Summerland Seniors’ Village. Not only are there 150 full time and part time staff who come up and down the valley to work at Summerland Seniors’ Village but also a dedicated group of volunteers within

the recreation department who help with the many activities offered to all residents, six days a week. I am at the facility almost on a daily basis, either visiting or as a volunteer. The residents I have met are a great and fun-loving group of people. The staff are very caring and accessible any time of the day or

night to family members. Family members should be involved. If you cannot reach a resident when calling and you become concerned, you can call the LPN’s or aide’s direct number, which is readily accessible to all family members. I know this because when I have not been able to reach my family member,

I have called staff. They look into my concern immediately, day or night. There is a family council which meets once a month. At our meetings, all are pleased with the quality of care our family member is receiving. Yes, there were some issues which needed to be addressed. These issues are

being addressed or have been addressed and improved upon. The morale is great among staff, as far as I can see, and they are pleased with the improvements being made. Some residents have lived here since the day it opened. Some staff have worked here since the day it opened nearly seven years ago. It takes special

people to work in a care facility with the many different needs that residents require. I have the utmost respect for these caregivers. I know if anyone has questions you would be welcomed at Summerland Seniors’ Village to speak with staff and residents or go on a tour. Rona Taylor Summerland

Dear Editor: The media keeps on bringing up the tragic death of Alfredo Bonaldi. I know we were all saddened by this, as well as the death of his wife Louisa, but we cannot bring them back, we can only hope that the resulting attention can cause a wake up call to everyone in the province if not the entire country. It is painfully evident that Alfredo’s case is not unique.

When this sort of thing happens, it is obviously very emotional. Many people are hurt. There are feelings of grief, anger, guilt and perhaps a need to assign blame. So, who is to blame? I ask you to consider all of the following. Is it the care workers at the facility who are trying to spread themselves out to take care of too many people? Is it the facility

owners who are in business and cutting corners to provide themselves with a larger profit? Is it the facility administrators for not clearly indicating to families the level of care and attention to be provided for the price they are paying? Is it the family for not understanding the level of care and attention to be provided and not understanding their role in taking care of their

aging relatives? Is it the health care system for not providing enough funding and supervision to the elderly and the care facilities? Is it the taxpayers who are wanting special services but are unwilling to pay more for them? Is it the governments, federal and provincial, who are not listening to average Canadians and cut spending where people want it the most while continu-

ing to spend where people want it the least? It seems to me that this blame, although not distributed evenly, is shared by many. We must work

together and all do our part rather than blaming one person or group and hoping they will fix things all by themselves. This problem is not going to go away

all by itself and we are all getting older, living longer and demanding more. Al Toots Summerland

Blame in tragedy must be shared by many

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Pest Management Plan Number: RDOS~MOS~PMP~2013/2018 Applicant: Regional District of the Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS). 101 Martin Street, Penticton, BC V2A 5J9.

Facility not yet at 100 per cent Dear Editor: In response to Thursday March 21 Letters to the Editor Re: Summerland Seniors’ Village. Negative coverage or is it facts that have to be addressed to protect the seniors? It is a wonderful facility but, it should be running at 100 per cent protection and accountability to all seniors living there and anywhere else in the province. If the staff are wonderful and caring on a continual basis why did mom die a premature death?

Why wasn’t dad missed after the first or even second meal? Check out the facts. Yes there are some wonderful and caring staff but it should be 100 per cent for all seniors. If you knew us and had the facts you would know what role we played in the care of our aging parents. The alert pendant is great but unfortunately if you are unconscious it doesn’t help you. We are very happy for those individuals who are fortunate enough to be in good health,

Pesticides: The active ingredients and trade names of the pesticides that the RDOS intends to use under this plan include: Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Vectobac 200G, Vectobac 1200L, Aquabac 200G, Aquabac XT, Aquabac II XT, Teknar G, Teknar HP-D); Bacillus sphaericus (VectoLex WSP, VectoLex CG and VectoLex WDG); and methoprene (Altosid XR Briquets and Altosid Pellets).

experienced good staff and workers. It should be like that for the whole campus of care. This is a wonderful facility but it needs great management and accountability. I do believe Interior Health is still in residential care, that tells me they are still required. Possibly not at 100 per cent yet. Don’t judge before having all the facts and walk a mile in our shoes. Then ask yourself, if this happened to me how would I feel? Edi Inglis Summerland

The applicant must also show intention to sell the rest of the property upon approval of the severance application.

with Potters’ Guild to a radio play presented by the Summerland Singers and Players to the presentation of the Arts Appreciation Award at the Friday evening gala. The Summerland Community Arts Council has put together a passport outlining art and cultural opportunities during the week. They can be picked up at the Arts Centre Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visit a local artist’s studio, join the discussion at the Summerland Scribes

meeting, watch potters at work, tour our town looking at the outdoor murals, sculpture and heritage homes, visit the library and the museum. Come to the Art Centre and view the Postcard Challenge entries and vote for your favourite. These and many more are listed in the passport and the public is encouraged to visit as many as they can during the week and then enter their passport into the draw for a basket of items created by our local artists.

Municipality receives climate funding by John Arendt Summerland has received more than $26,000 in provincial funding through the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program. The grant of $26,121 is part of a total of $83,527 given to local governments in the area. The Climate

Action Revenue Incentive Program is a conditional grant program which provides funds to governments which have signed the Climate Action Charter. Participating communities must also report publicly on their progress towards meeting climate action goals. Since 2008, the

province has provided $19 million through the program. At present, 95 per cent of B.C. communities have signed the charter. “The Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program provides a strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said Bill Barisoff, MLA for the Penticton riding.

“I applaud the participating communities and their clear efforts.” Julie McGuire, Summerland’s climate action coordinator, said the money will go to climate action initiatives in the community. The funding is based on the amount of fuel used by a municipality.

Summerland’s funding was lower than Penticton’s amount of $41,001 but higher than the $6480 given to Peachland or the $9,925 given to the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen. McGuire said Summerland’s fuel consumption is high because the commun-

vehicle charging stations and a municipal tree program. In addition, the budget includes a call for proposals from the community for pilot projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A total of $7,500 will be available for groups to submit proposals to the Climate Action Committee.

Community organizations in Summerland received funding through the province’s Community Gaming Grants initiative. The money, which totalled $193,400, was distributed last week to 15 organizations in the area, including five from Summerland. The Summerland Asset Development Initiative received the largest amount, at $45,000. The Summerland Youth Centre Association received $8,000 while the Kiwanis Club of Summerland received $8,000. The Scouts Canada First Summerland Group received $4,500 and the Air Cadet League of Canada, Squadron 902, was given $1,800.

The other grant recipients in the area included the Peachland Lions Club, the Auxiliary to the Penticton Regional Hospital Society, the South Okanagan Similkameen Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society, the Kinette Club of Penticton, the South Okanagan Women in Need Society, the Societe De La Petite Enfance De L’Ecole Entre Lacs, the Rotary Club of Penticton-Okanagan, the Penticton Recovery Resource Society and the Scouts Canada 10th Penticton Group. In the 2011-2012 fiscal year, the province distributed $135 million in gaming grants to more than 5,300 community groups.

While FortisBC recently completed the purchase of Kelowna’s electric utility assets, Summerland will continue to operate its own electrical department. The purchase of Kelowna’s electrical utility assets was completed on March 29, following a public approval process by the B.C. Utilities Commission and the City of Kelowna. For the past decade, Fortis has oper-

ated and maintained electrical utility assets in Kelowna. In Summerland, the municipality handles the distribution of electricity, which is purchased from FortisBC. Mayor Janice Perrino said there are no plans to transfer the electrical service to Fortis. She added that a good offer would be required before Summerland would even consider such a change.

Fashion designers to show creations

Clothing designed to combine function, style

by Carla McLeod Two young emerging fashion designers who hail from Summerland will be showcasing pieces from their graduation

collections. They are graduating from Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Bachelor of Applied Design in Fashion and Technology. Amanda Hooper combined her skills with her passion for the outdoors and created her first col-

Cribbage winner

lection especially for women who ride ATVs or dirt bikes. Hooper identified a need for functional apparel with more feminine styling. Inspired by her adventurous outdoor background she created the brand Terra, which incorporates her passions of screen

printing, functional clothing, style and outdoors. “Every garment has been designed with function in mind,” describes Hooper. Victoria Jago’s collection is for the stylish curious woman, navigating the world on her bicycle.

Edith Shewfelt won the Alex Barnes Cribbage Trophy at the Seniors Drop-In Centre earlier this month. The trophy is presented annually to the player in the six-week tournament who has the highest score. Shewfelt received a plaque and her name will be inscribed on the trophy which is mounted in the Drop-in Centre. The trophy was donated by Betty Barnes in memory of her late husband. In the photo Barnes, left, presents the plaque to Shewfelt. The trophy appears in the background.

Bring your shovels, rakes, hammers, nails, etc. New this year... we are doing a bottle drive on opening day. All you have to do is bring your empties to the field when you come!! (bring your neighbors empties too!!)

As an avid cyclist herself, Jago understands the complications around incorporating bicycle commuting into everyday lifestyle. “Women shouldn’t have to sacrifice fashion for the function required for riding bike,” Jago says of her line, Henke,

which offers women a stylish alternative to athletic cycling wear. “Biking is a way of life, and by providing more fashionable options for women to wear while riding, I hope to encourage more women to adopt the bike as a means of

commuting,” says Jago. Designs from these talented young women can be viewed on their websites, victoriajago.com and amandahooperfashion.com. The show will be held on April 17 at the River Rock Casino in Richmond.

Friends and family will be joining three cancer survivors in their quest to raise funds for cancer research. The team is named Jodi’s Jets, after hockey mom Jodi Breitkruz, who is currently facing treatment for breast cancer. Two other cancer survivors, Carson Hoey and Melanie Walker, will also be joining the other 16 team members as they try to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. Lead organizer Rachel Hoey, says the team members are excited about three planned fund raisers. On April 13 and May 18, the team will be hosting a barbecue event between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. in front of Nesters in Summerland. On June 1, a car wash will be held between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. at Giant’s Head Automotive Services on Main Street. All proceeds will be going to the Can-

adian Cancer Society’s relay for life fundraiser. Hoey understands well the sacrifice and change that a cancer diagnosis can bring. Her son, Carson, was diagnosed at two years of age with neuroblastoma in his right chest. He made a complete recovery and is back enjoying life as any child should. She said it was difficult to watch her son go through the three months of treatment at Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. Now she devotes her time and effort into cancer research fundraising. Hoey says that this past winter, the hockey community rallied around both Breitkruz and Walker,

as both hockey moms were diagnosed and faced breast cancer treatment in Kelowna. Walker’s treatment has recently been completed while Breitkruz is partially through hers. Donations will be collected at the barbecues and car wash, at Hair it is Hair Salon and Giant’s Head Automotive in Summerland or at convio.cancer.ca/site/ PageServer?pagename =RFL_CAN_NATL_ homepage&s_ locale=en_CA by selecting Make A Donation and then searching for Jodi’s Jets team. The Relay for Life will be held at the Penticton Secondary School track June 15 and 16 from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.

A plea went out to the community and the successful outcome was that at least six new board members were found, making a total of 10.

It’s funny the things that are trigger points to a changing of the seasons. It used to be the change to daylight savings time but with the time change now in early March too much snow is still on the ground at that time. If you use weather patterns you would always be confused. It is still nice to see some colour from the early flowers and of course the greening of the grass. For me there are a number of changes that really cement that spring is here. The first is the big Reds Hockey Tournament that has been held on Easter weekend for as long as I can remember. With 20 men’s and women’s teams this tournament brings in players from all over the province and an amazing job is done by Colin Biagioni and all the others that make this tournament happen. The second trig-

Leisure Times

Dale MacDonald ger is the pressure to put up the tennis nets on the tennis courts and to open the gates to Giants Head Park and Powell Beach Park. Finally, it is all the regulars from all the spring sports checking on their field requirements. Whether it is new volunteers such as Rae-Anne Longbotham from Slo-Pitch and Reid Jenkins from soccer or my long-time friend, Carol Van Balkom from girl’s softball who volunteer so much of their

time. The bottom line being it is amazing how quickly you go from one season to another. In the arena the ice is out and it is a busy place with lacrosse, ball hockey and even roller derby. The campground has some new levelled sites and will be ready for opening in early May. Before I sign off another spring tradition is Summerland’s Earth Day which has turned into earth week with so many activities. Starting Sunday, April 14 there are special events almost every day from films in Centre Stage Theatre, different workshops, a Friday street festival, a variety of Saturday events and concluding on Sunday, April 2 with the seventh annual Earth Day Celebration at Dale Meadows Park spearheaded by Lisa Scott and Lois Dickinson. So let’s get outside,

Research scientist honoured Dr. Tom Lowery was recently awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in recognition of his leadership in integrated and sustainable pest management for grapes and his contributions to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s National Plum Pox Virus Program. Lowery is an entomologist at the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre in Summerland. He specializes in integrated pest management and the study of insect-borne plant diseases. Since 2001, he has supervised research at both PARC-Summerland and at the Southern Crop Protection and Food Research Centre in Vineland, Ont. His research focusing on non-chemical methods to manage insect and mite pests of grapevines has significantly influenced cultivation practices and reduced the use of chemicals in Canada’s wine regions, notably the Okanagan. In collaboration with colleagues working in other areas of viticulture, and with support from local industry, he has played an important role in the establishment of a strong wine grape research program at the Summerland centre. “I am honoured to receive this award,” he said. “Although it is in my name, I accept it as representing the efforts of many deserving AAFC researchers who work diligently to benefit the Canadian public.” Lowery’s areas of expertise involve using a variety of natural approaches

Recognizing research

Dr. Kenna MacKenzie, director of operations at the Summerland Research Centre, presented Tom Lowery with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal. A total of 60,000 medals are being presented to Canadians.

such as: developing non-chemical methods, for example the use of ground cover vegetation to manage grape pests and reduce the reliance on chemical sprays; developing strategies to preserve and enhance the activity of beneficial insects and the possible use of naturally occurring insect diseases to control grape pests; evaluat-

ing new reduced-risk insecticides that are less toxic and more selective in action; and studying the epidemiology of insectborne plant pathogens and developing methods for their control. The commemorative medal was created to mark the 2012 celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the

Throne. The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal is a tangible way for Canada to honour Her Majesty for her service to this country. At the same time, it serves to honour significant contributions and achievements by Canadians. A total of 60,000 Canadians will be recognized.

Thursday, April 11, 2013 Summerland Review (NC)—When it comes to controlling the costs associated with driving your vehicle, did you know that when in use, air conditioning systems consume signiﬁcant amounts of fuel? It’s a fact to keep in mind as the warmer seasons approach. When the air conditioning is on, fuel consumption can actually increase by up to 20 per cent, according to Natural Resources Canada. While consumption depends on the vehicle’s interior size, outdoor temperature, and other operating conditions, if you drive a fueleﬃcient automobile, the impact of air conditioning use is usually quite noticeable. A few simple conservation measures can help drivers reduce fuel use:

Goodyear Eagle LS-2 195/65r 15

• Turn oﬀ the air conditioning once the vehicle is cool. • Use the re-circulation button. This requires less energy since the air conditioning system isn’t cooling the warm air from outside. • Let the air ﬂow. Use ventilation on the highway; open your windows and sunroof while driving in the city. • Adjust the thermostat settings to be comfortable, not cold. • Park out of direct sunlight. • When returning to a hot car, open the windows for a few minutes before turning on the air conditioning. • Be a smart buyer. Look for an air conditioning system with an “econo” mode or smart controls. More fuel consumption tips are available online at www.vehicles.gc.ca
