Hot and dry conditions in the South Okanagan have increased the risk of wildfires this summer. So far, the Penticton Fire Zone, which includes Summerland, has had 12 wildfires since April 1, destroying a total of 67 hectares. The 10-year average for this time of year is 33 fires, destroying 179

hectares. Kayla Pepper, fire information officer with the Kamloops Fire Centre, said the fire risk near Summerland is high near the lake and moderate elsewhere, although the risk is rising. “We are beginning to see conditions changing in the area,” she said. We have seen some recordbreaking temperatures in July, which caused

the fuel danger rating to escalate.” Wind is also a factor in the risk of fires, she said. Normally, half the wildfires in the region are caused by human activity and half are caused by nature, such as lightning activity. This year, lightning activity has been low and all the fires so far have been caused by people. To reduce the risk of

Highway accident
John Arendt Summerland Review
Firefighters worked to clean up an accident on Highway 97 north of Summerland on Monday afternoon. A semi trailer with a load of lumber toppled while negotiating a corner along the highway.
Accident blocks highway by John Arendt
Traffic was backed up on Highway 97 north of Summerland on Monday afternoon following a two-vehicle accident. The accident occurred at 4:04 p.m. around five kilometres north of Summerland A 2011 Freightliner
tractor with a flatbed trailer and hauling lumber overturned when the driver failed to negotiate a right-hand curve. The tractor, trailer and spilled lumber skidded into the north lanes, forcing the driver of a 2010 Toyota Corolla over the embankment. The Toyota came to rest
on an access road below the highway. The driver of the truck was taken to Kelowna General Hospital with injuries which were not life-threatening. The 56-year-old driver of the Toyota and his 15-year-old daughter, from Alberta, were taken to Penticton Regional
Hospital where they were treated for minor cuts and bruises. Traffic was backed up for several kilometres in each direction during the clean-up and investigation into the accident. The highway was then opened to single-lane alternating traffic until
11:35 p.m. The investigation is continuing. Cst. Jordan Luscombe of the RCMP said speed is believed to have been a factor. The corner has been the site of other serious accidents in the past, Luscombe said.

The Okanagan Mountain fire of 2003 destroyed more than 26,000 hectares. Other fires in the region have also come close to homes and communities.
Okanagan has history of fires Okanagan Valley residents are no strangers to wildfires, including some devastating blazes which have come close to communities in the area. The biggest in recent memory was in 2003, when a wildfire in Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park, on the east side of Okanagan Lake, resulted in the destruction of more than 26,000 hectares and the evacuation of 27,000 residents. The fire began on Aug. 16, 2003. Firefighters from 60 fire departments, 1,400 armed forces
troops and 1,000 forest fire fighters were at the scene. Jim Mottishaw, forest prevention officer with the Penticton Fire Zone, said the largest fires in the Okanagan tend to happen on the east side of Okanagan Lake, where drying conditions are greater. “All the large fires are on that side of the lake,” he said. On the west side of Okanagan Lake, the Glenrosa fire of 2009 and the Peachland fire of 2012 were much smaller, between 1,000 and 2,000 hectares each.
The Garnet Fire in Penticton, which began July 29, 1994, resulted in 5,500 hectares of damage. In Summerland, the Giant’s Head Mountain fire, on Aug. 15, 1996 destroyed around 55 hectares on the east side of the mountain. It came as close as 15 metres from some of the homes in the area. Mottishaw said Summerland has a community wildfire protection plan in place. In addition, the orchards also provide a degree of protection.

by adults. This fall, Larsen will be allowed to begin collecting signatures in an effort to force an initiative vote similar to that used to reverse the harmonized sales tax. Individuals and groups have until Aug. 12 to register with Elections BC to oppose the initiative, run ads for or against the petition or collect signatures. Larsen, who was involved with the B.C. Marijuana Party before seeking the
leadership of the B.C. NDP in 2011, has worked for the last year to build support for what he calls Sensible BC. His organization will have 90 days from Sept. 9 to collect signatures from 10 per cent of registered provincial voters in each of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts. If that threshold is reached, Elections BC would hold a province-wide initiative vote, likely by mail as was done to repeal the HST.

Grant worth $200K presented by John Arendt
Summerland has received more than
$200,000 through the province’s Strategic Community Investment Fund and traffic
fine revenues. The funding, announced last week, provides the com-
munity with $168,084 from the Small Community Investment Fund and another
$36,198 from traffic fine revenues. The small community grants are
given to local governments to assist in providing basic services while the traffic fine revenue is used to assist communities with police enforcement costs. “These funds help local governments invest in priority projects that benefit everyone,” said Dan Ashton, MLA for the Penticton riding which includes Summerland. “They also support important day-to-day operations and services that local residents rely on.” Lorrie Coates, chief financial officer for Summerland, said the Small Community Investment Fund grant will go to the municipality to be
used where it is most needed. The traffic revenue funding will go to pay a portion of policing costs in Summerland, but it is not designated for anything more specific within the policing budget, Coates said. The amount of the traffic revenue grant is based on policing costs. The Small Community Investment Fund grant, for communities of less than 20,000 people is calculated using a base amount, the community’s population and assessment values. Across the province, funding of $56.2 million was distributed to communities and regional districts.

Vehicle rollover
Mel Kozun Special to the Summerland Review
A single-vehicle rollover on Saturday evening narrowly missed a parked car and a basketball stand. The accident occurred on Prairie Valley Road east of Morrow Avenue. Children had vacated the private basketball court just minutes before the accident. The young male driver appeared to have only minor cuts and bruises.

With the by-election happening just up the road in Kelowna, I have received a lot of good natured ribbing about the inordinate amount of lawyers who run for public office in this country. Well it's true, people who have chosen the legal profession as careers do seem to run for public office more than most other career paths. Whether or not this is a good thing is not mine to determine. Our form of government allows almost anyone to run for office and that is a very good thing. What every person should do as they approach an election is to really find out who the candidates are. Remember that campaign slogans, sound bites and political resumes are really just advertisements for the candidates or their party. They are telling you what they think you want to hear in order to get elected. Find out what each of the candidates have actually done. Actions speak much louder than words. Did they stick to the promises they made in prior campaigns, or abandon them as soon as they were elected? Did they actually contribute to all those groups and clubs and positions they say they held or did they just put in time? Ask the people they deal with on a daily basis what kind of people they are. Only then will you be able to make the proper choice for your representative.

Moving traffic Traffic came to a halt on Highway 97 on Monday afternoon as a result of an accident north of Summerland. The accident, involving a lumber truck and a car, did not result in any critical injuries, but it illustrates once more some ongoing concerns about the highway. The area where Monday’s accident occurred is one which has been the site of other similar accidents in the past. Each time a truck tips in this area, it stops or at the very least slows down traffic. While Monday’s accident was significant, it could have been much worse. If the load of lumber on the truck had spilled into the road instead of primarily over the embankment, it would have resulted in a lengthy clean-up and a much longer delay for the motorists. As it was, the delay was noticeable. Traffic was backed up for several kilometres in both directions and when the road was finally reopened, it was alternating single-lane traffic until 11:35 p.m. Highway 97 serves as the main arterial road in the Okanagan Valley. In many places, it is the only direct way to get from one community to the next. If the highway is blocked, drivers must wait or take a lengthy detour far out of the way. Several years ago, the highway was widened to four lanes, bringing some muchneeded relief to the growing problem of traffic congestion. Traffic now flows much more smoothly than in the past and the road is also safer than it was, although there are still some hazard areas. As a long-term plan, it is time to start looking at whether an alternate route is needed to connect Okanagan communities, in case a largescale accident in the future brings traffic to a halt on Highway 97.

bad Empty seats for political theatre apples VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark didn’t win a seat in time to join her 48 fellow B.C. Liberal MLAs in the legislature for the summer session she ordered up. By the time the byelection in WestsideKelowna is certified by Elections B.C., Clark will be off to Niagaraon-the-Lake, Ont. to meet with her fellow premiers in Tom Fletcher what is now loftily called the Council of the Federation. These gatherings used to be called First Ministers’ Conferences, and there was a set ritual, largely designed for the consumption of network television. Provincial premiers ganged up on the prime minister to demand federal “funding” for every conceivable need, just as municipal leaders get together each year to present their demands to the B.C. government. Prime Minister Stephen Harper ended the show, declining to play the role of villain in this bit of political summer stock theatre, and it’s unlikely that any future national leader would reverse this prudent decision. The result, at least among western premiers, has been a quieter, more pragmatic effort to work together, rather than clumsy attempts to play a shell game with taxpayers’ pockets.
The public got tired of this routine some time ago. I don’t need a poll to tell me this is one of the reasons for the decline in voter participation and engagement in issues. Today, politicians frequently remind themselves out loud that there is “only one taxpayer” supporting the squabbling layers of this over-governed country. And yet, the same mistake keeps being made over and over by opposition politicians, and dutifully reported by the news media. The notion that all problems can and should be solved by “more government funding” is now so engrained in our education system that it seems inescapable. One of the NDP’s big “gotcha” items last week was the failure of the B.C. government to buy the latest sonar technology to locate and recover the bodies of people who have drowned in one of our thousands of lakes and rivers. As with the health-care system, as soon as something is invented, some assume a right to it, regardless of cost. Another big opposition target was the province’s failure to buy up remote properties in the Kootenays that have been discovered to be at high risk of further landslides such as the one that swept through a year ago. The question of limits for protecting people who choose to build homes in risky locations seldom comes up in our political-media theatre.
The media’s key ingredients are sympathetic victims to fit their narrative that all corporations and governments are greedy, stingy, callous and incompetent in everything they do. What the opposition has dubbed “Christy Clark’s wheelchair tax” is another case in point. A Fraser Health Authority official patiently explained what was really going on here. An average $35 monthly rent for wheelchairs is charged at the majority of care facilities, which are contracted by the health authority. Operators charge as they see fit for maintenance, disinfection and replacement of this equipment, for patients who don’t own their own chairs. In September, a $25 fee is to be extended to the few facilities still directly run by Fraser Health, which have aging equipment and no fees. In all facilities, the fee is waived for those who can’t afford it. It would be useful for our politicians to frankly discuss the trend towards contracted health services, and the role of user fees in forcing people to take more responsibility for maintaining their own health. But that is not what happens. The narrative of dumping frail, impoverished seniors from their wheelchairs has no relationship to reality, but it’s how post-modern political theatre is done.

A motorist found to be impaired while driving will face some significant penalties. Fines, driving prohibitions and vehicle suspensions are to be expected. Despite these prohibitions, some drivers still insist on driving while intoxicated. Such behaviour makes no sense, yet it continues to happen far too frequently.

Billing system appears unfair Dear Editor: If you’re a landlord or if you lease property in Summerland, you have probably run into the following problem. The District of Summerland purchases electricity from Fortis BC at a set rate per kilowatt hour. The district then charges their customers for the electricity they use. It is one of the few communities in B.C. that does this – for a fee. If you’re a tenant you would have signed an agreement with the municipality giving them your name and address and your landlord’s name and address – simple as that. As a tenant you would have received a monthly bill and you would have remitted payment to the municipality, not Fortis. If you couldn’t or didn’t
make payment within 30 days, you would have had that amount added on to your next month’s bill. However, after one month’s non payment the tenant would have received a notice saying that his utility services would be disconnected if payment was not received forthwith. Perhaps you were having additional financial problems and you decided to find your fortune somewhere else. Unfortunately somebody has to pay – in Summerland’s case the municipality simply sends the bill to the landlord – a bill that could be as much as two months worth, and an additional amount for turning the power back on. Perhaps the tenant

didn’t pay his phone bill either– in that case Telus or Shaw or whoever your phone company is took the hit. If you were a natural gas customer, Terasen Gas, a subsidiary of Fortis, would have taken the loss. In both cases, these companies absorbed the loss, not the landlord, because the contracts were signed with them. So why is it that a contract signed by a tenant with the Summerland municipality makes the landlord foot the bill? None of the other utility providers do that. Since the district is acting as a sub contractor, it too should be suffering the loss for non-payment, not the landlord. Doesn’t seem fair. Frank Martens Summerland
End electric car subsidies
Dear Editor: Re: Get ready for Hydro rate hikes (B.C. Views, July 11). Tom Fletcher’s article reiterates what we have been told for some time. A large part of the future B.C. Hydro rate increase is caused by the fact that expansion of generating facilities delivers new power at a rate higher than today’s rates. However, the government is bribing people to switch to electric cars, contributing to consumption increases which will cause rate increases for us all.
Provincial consumption is also high because, although the E-Plus contracts with residential customers expired decades ago, the government is choosing to grandfather the “halfprice electric heat” offer for political reasons. Also, some large government buildings are still being heated this way. At the same time, the minister is telling us that we are producing more natural gas than we need, so we should be consuming large amounts of energy to compress it and
ship it overseas. Should the first step not be to switch to natural gas-powered cars, natural gas heating for almost all homes where possible, and for all large government buildings? The grant money for electric car purchases should be diverted to incentives for this move. Right now, electric cars are causing the burning of fuels at distant power plants anyway, because that is where our “last watt” comes from. Rein Nienaber Saanich
Governments must control their borrowing
Dear Editor: Re: Get ready for Hydro rate hikes (B.C. Views, July 11). Yes, the B.C. Hydro rate increase tsunami is coming after the earthquake of B.C. government debt. This will hit lower income people – hard. All levels of government are increasing fees and service rates rather than raise income

It’s unsure if the little boy was anxious or elated, but one thing is certain—the RCMP Musical Ride is a thrilling, not-to-be-missed exhibition, even if you don’t get to ride a horse.

Adjustments made to school schedules Pilot project allows for additional time for teachers by Joe Fries Black Press

Adjustments of two school schedules in Penticton and Summerland will next year see occasional late starts for some students and afternoons off for others. And while kids are out enjoying their free time, teachers will be putting their heads together under the new collaborativetime pilot project. “ S u r p r i s i n g l y, with a staff of 70, it’s shocking how few opportunities there are to give teachers that chance to get together and share,” said Penticton Secondary School principal Alan Stel. He said his teachers will be given one hour on 11 Wednesday mornings throughout the 201314 year to focus on themes like literacy and numeracy, and discuss how best to improve student achievement in those areas. On those days, classes will start an hour later than usual at 9:33 a.m. To make up for that lost instructional
time, four minutes will be added to each school day. “Kids are not actually, literally losing any time; it’s teachers offering their time,” Stel explained, adding staff members voted 85 per cent in favour of trying the pilot project. The model has
He noted, however, that there is a daycare at the school and he’s been in touch with the town’s recreation department about adding programming on those days. Teachers at Summerland Secondary School will also get collaborative time next year, although
“We need to do that professional development to keep on top of new things coming out and research and whatnot. And a lot of teachers take that on their own time and they spend their summers doing it as well.”

already been in place at Princess Margaret Secondary for four years, and its trial run at an elementary school is set for next year at Giant’s Head in Summerland. Students there will be dismissed at 12:15 p.m. on six days throughout the year. Three minutes will be added to school days to cover that time. Principal Darcy Mullin said he explained the changes to the parent advisory council and at a public meeting, but still expects some working parents will be concerned about finding child care on those days.
it won’t require a schedule adjustment. Instead, once a week for an hour, staff members there will split into two groups, one of which will share knowledge, while the other will supervise students. The groups will then switch places. Leslea Pryde, president of the Okanagan Skaha Teachers’ Union, said educators will use collaborative time for professional development related to school-based initiatives, rather than the more personalized training they receive on regular professional development days.
“We need to do that professional development to keep on top of new things coming out and research and whatnot,” she said. “And a lot of teachers take that on their own time and they spend their summers doing it as well.” Pryde said the provision of collaborative time is a growing trend in B.C. schools, although it’s relatively new in this district. “Two heads are better than one, right? And if you work well with someone you can accomplish a lot more and you can gain a lot more from each other,” she said. Meanwhile, the Okanagan Similkameen School District will also next year try a similar pilot project. To accommodate it, all students will be dismissed 90 minutes early on seven days. Marieze Tarr, who chairs the school board, said synchronizing early dismissal days across all schools will head off any problems with bus schedules. She acknowledged the concept has gotten a rough ride from some working parents, but said the district is working with local governments to provide extra recreation activities.

Summerland Review Thursday, July 18, 2013
Plaintiff unaware of lawsuit against school district Joe Fries Black Press
One of the people named as a plaintiff in lawsuits stemming from a fatal crash involving a school bus said he was unaware of the legal action first reported earlier this month. The B.C. Supreme Court in Victoria in May received separate notices of claim from both John Watt and Elaine Tanner, who were injured in the June 2011 crash near Summerland that killed a man and sent nine students to hospital. Their claims list the estate of John Borba, who died when his car slid into the path of the school bus, plus the Okanagan Skaha School District and the bus driver as defendants. It also alleges negligence on the part of all three
defendants and seeks an unspecified award for damages. Watt on Thursday wrote in an email to Black Press that “some of this is news to me and Elaine,” because they were “not aware of any action” against the named defendants. Both he and Tanner received medical treatment, and the car in which they were riding also suffered damage. “Right after the accident and weeks later we tried to communicate with ICBC on numerous occasions trying to settle this matter ourselves, leaving voice mail messages unreturned and finding it difficult to talk and communicate with the adjuster at that time,” Watt said. “We got so frustrated and fed up
we finally sought legal advice. I am not a lawyer or a legal expert by no means so we are not sure of all the details legally and why these parties are even mentioned in any action. To our understanding it was just a legal claim against ICBC for damages.” Watt said he and Tanner are upset that the three parties were named in the lawsuit and plan to discuss the matter further with their lawyer. He added that the story has stirred up painful memories for everyone involved and “looks like it sadly will continue.” Ginny Manning, who chairs the board of the Okanagan Skaha School District, said she too was unaware of the lawsuits until hearing about them in the media.

Make Your Home Safe for Independent Living Are you a low-income senior or a person with a disability who wants to live safely and independently in the comfort of your home? Do you have difficulty performing day-to-day activities? Does your home need to be adapted to meet your changing needs? If so, you may be eligible for financial assistance under the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program. Find out today if you are eligible and if you meet all of the requirements as a low-income homeowner or as a landlord applying on behalf of an eligible tenant.
To apply or learn more, visit www.bchousing.org/HAFI You can also contact BC Housing: Phone: 604-646-7055 Toll-free: 1-800-407-7757 (ext. 7055)
HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities
Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in. Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for
H O U S I N G M AT T E R S
easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help. Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

Musical Ride,” said Gwen Shaw of the Summerland Rodeo Grounds Equine Development Committee, the organization sponsoring the event. The showpiece of the evening will be the RCMP Musical Ride, which has toured across Canada and around the world. The Musical Ride features 32 horses and riders demonstrating a variety of horse skills, set to music. It was started in 1887 and has per-
formed for the public since 1901. “It brings out the Canadian in you,” Shaw said of the ride. The Equine Development Committee is working to raise money for improvements to the rodeo grounds. The grounds are owned by the municipality and maintained by the municipal parks and recreation department. Shaw said the land was a gift from a member of the Summerland Trail Riders.
The Equine Development Committee would like to have an indoor covered arena at the rodeo grounds as well as improvements and maintenance to the existing facilities. Shaw said the public is invited to offer suggestions about the improvements which are most needed for the rodeo grounds. “This is the community’s rodeo grounds,” she said. “What do they want to see happen with it?”

The value of the forestry industry Although forestry falls under provincial jurisdiction it is important to recognize the importance of this industry to all levels of government that also includes communities, local economies and the many working families who are supported directly and indirectly by forest sector jobs. In OkanaganCoquihalla, communities such as Merritt, Logan Lake and Okanagan Falls have long had direct ties with the forest sector while many important industry related support businesses are located in Penticton and West Kelowna/ Westbank.
For many years, Canada’s largest trading partner has been the United States and with the American housing construction boom slowing down, this in turn has reduced export demand and has resulted in mill closures as we witnessed locally at Okanagan Falls. To further challenge the British Columbia forest industry, the pine beetle devastation has also reduced the available timber supply and recent mill tragedies have dramatically increased insurance costs for those mills still operating. In summary,
there are a number of challenges within this industry as critics are generally quick to point out. However while it is often easy to criticize, it is also important to recognize efforts underway to help support the forest industry. Free trade agreements, although often opposed by some, open up new markets that British Columbia lumber manufacturers can access and this in turn, can help keep mills open and people working. As an example of this, BC lumber exports to China exceeded $1 billion
in revenue for the first time in history in 2011. Exports to Japan have had similar success and more recently a wood export guide to India has been prepared for manufacturers. The need to diversify Canada’s trading partners is a top priority for the Canadian forest industry as it is in many other industries. However it is also important that innovation is not overlooked as another means to diversify and increase demand for our local value-added lumber producers. This week I was

Dan Albas In Meadow Lake Sask., the local Tolko Mill will soon become the first in North America to produce specialty orientated strand board products on a single production with enhanced quality controls. These innovations are a few examples of Natural Resources Canada partnership projects under the Investment in Forest Industry Trans-
formation Program . Although challenges in the forest industry remain, the need to proactively expand and diversify our value-added forestry sector are essential objectives that help support local economies and help create new and support existing jobs. While we as a country continue to lead the G-7 in job creation and overall fiscal management it is also important to recognize this success does not happen by accident. Through partnerships between industry and all levels of Government working proactively together to open new trade markets or increase innovation we can and will succeed. Dan Albas is the MP for Okanagan Coquihalla.

excited to attend an important event as Structural Wood Products announced an expansion of the recently opened Okanagan Falls production facility. This new expansion will allow for the construction of the new “Eco Structure Wall System” that consists of prefabricated engineered wooden wall structures made using the technology of the cross laminated construction method. These walls are intended to be an alternative to conventional concrete “tiltup” wall construction with the advantage of being lighter, stronger and also offering improved insulation qualities while being more energy efficient to produce and transport. For Structurlam, a company with 50 years of expertise and over 150 employees this is an investment that has a very bright future. In Whitecourt Alta., Millar Western Forest Products is introducing an anaerobic hybrid digester that will convert pulp mill effluent to green energy. This waste to green energy technology has the potential to be used in other mills to help reduce waste and lower long term energy costs.
ince, a total of 1,801 firearms, 30,700 rounds of ammunition and 155 other weapons were turned in. Some of the items
collected provincially included a machine gun in Kelowna, historical firearms and bayonets and a military missile.

An anti-bullying group in Summerland has received a grant from the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan. The grant, for $3,500, was given last week. “This generous donation from the Community Foundation will help us purchase computers for our volunteers to use and will help us better manage the demands of the Stop A Bully program,”
said director Trevor Knowlton. “As all of our volunteers have fulltime careers, it is critical that they have the technology to complete Stop A Bully work outside of the Summerland office.” Knowlton, a teacher at Summerland Secondary School, created the Stop A Bully site in 2009 to help students report incidents of bullying. It has since grown
to a national initiative. The organization also does fundraising to raise awareness about issues surrounding bullying and cyberbullying in schools. The Community Foundation of the South Okanagan has an endowment of $6.5 million and grants approximately $200,000 annually to organizations through the Okanagan and Similkameen.
Summer is heating up, putting additional demands on our water supplies. Traditionally, the region begins to observe slow increases in volume usage beginning late April and into May. This year a cool, wet spring helped to ease the pressure on the water utilities pumping and treating infrastructure. The downside was when summer came, temperatures soared and we were plunged into a heat wave. It takes a few weeks of slowly raising temperatures to allow people, animals and the land to adjust to summer conditions. When the heat comes suddenly, with moisture still in the air and soil, it can be shocking. Humidity makes the temperature feel hotter. In response to those conditions, people crank up the air conditioner, turn on the sprinklers and use water, water and more water. That can be hard on water utility infrastructure; intake, pumping and treatment plants. In the Okanagan consumption is 675 litres per person per day, twice the Canadian average. Watering restrictions are devised to balance the demand on the water system, as well as conserve water. We can make water work and get the most from our water by following some simple steps: o Water land-
scape, gardens and agricultural crops at or between dusk and dawn. Up to 50 per cent of the water evaporates when watering in the hot sun. o Water plant material only — grass, gardens, lawn and crops — not pavement, roadways or sidewalks. Outdoor water consumption accounts for 24 per cent of household water use. o Leave grass five to eight centimetres (two to three inches) long and leave clippings as mulch. o Aerate and top dress your lawn with an inch of compost in the fall. o Change out conventional lawn for drought tolerant turf, or turf some turf, and remove some lawn. To inspire Okanagan residents to Make Water Work, local governments and the Regional District have partnered with the Okanagan Basin Water Board’s Waterwise program. Take the WaterWise pledge for a chance to win $5,000 WaterWise yard improvements and makeover. Log on to www. MakeWaterWork.ca, take the pledge to do one or more of the steps above, and you will be entered to win. If you do not have the need for a makeover, you can gift it to a registered charity of your choice. A win-win for everyone, and our precious water resource.

Caution urged on water by Joe Fries Black Press
Two near-misses on the water near Penticton this week came amid a flurry of warnings about exercising caution while indulging in summer fun. Hours before a boat crash-landed Tuesday on a pier near downtown Penticton, a man floating on the Okanagan River channel became snagged on a bridge pillar at Green Avenue and had to be cut loose. Branton Grinde, 17, had just gotten off the channel with friends around 3 p.m. and was about to start crossing the bridge when he saw a man who looked to be in his 40s thrashing in the water below. It appeared the man’s tube was tied to others that were wrapped around the other side of the bridge pillar, and the
rope with which they were attached was also tangled around his arm. “He just started yelling for help, so we all ran down to the water and I phoned 911 to get some people over there,” said Grinde. “I was definitely a bit worried. I didn’t know what to do, so I just yelled for somebody to get a knife.” Another onlooker ran to his truck, grabbed a knife, then swam out to the victim and cut him loose. Other people haven’t been so lucky. “A review of drowning deaths over the past five years shows that many victims are unfamiliar with the waters involved and therefore don’t see the risk or underestimate it,” B.C. Coroners Service spokesperson Barbara McLintock said in a statement.
PUBLIC NOTICE
RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT
This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act. Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013. The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

Musicians perform at house concerts Next week Masterworks Ensemble, a quartet of the valley’s finest classical musicians, will perform three house concerts along Okanagan Lake. Residents are opening their homes to the public, inviting them to sip wine from local wineries, view artwork by Okanagan artists and
accomplished musicians. Fehr, a lyric coloratura soprano, has held numerous recitals and concerts across Canada and abroad. Elizabeth Lupton, violin, is a member of the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra. Dennis Nordlund, piano, performs throughout the Oka-

listen to the sounds of summer. “A house can be such a rich and intimate setting for a concert,” said Tracy Fehr, one of the performers. “Our ensemble is thrilled to perform in three beautiful homes with gorgeous terraces and views of the lake.” The owners of the homes are just as excited to host such
nagan as a soloist, as accompanist for vocalists, choirs, instrumentalists and theatrical productions. Masterworks Ensemble is joined by guest artist Simon Cliff, a classical guitarist from London, England. Music for the evening concerts will feature songs from the 19th and 20th centuries, duets for violin
and guitar, guitar and soprano, Spanish and Portuguese songs, and jazz pieces such as Unforgettable and At Last. The house concerts will be held Friday, July 26 at Lloyd and Tanya Westby’s in Trout Creek; Saturday, July 27 at Bernd and Felicity Stahl’s house in Summerland and Sunday, July 28 at Goran and Jo Marcovic’s home on the Naramata Bench. Sunette Louw will showcase her artwork at the Westby home, and artist Derris Selles’ abstract art will be featured at the Stahl’s home. Tickets, which sold out quickly for last year’s performances, must be purchased in advance. The cost includes a glass of wine from a local winery. To purchase, visit Summerland Pharmasave, 9515 Main Street, Summerland, or the Penticton Arts Council, Leir House, 220 Manor Park Ave. Penticton. All concerts begin at 7 p.m.

Steam ask for additional ice time by John Arendt After holding practices in Penticton last year, organizers of the Summerland Steam Junior B hockey team are asking for more ice time at the Summerland Arena. Team owners Gregg Wilson and Tim Keilty said the cost of ice time in Penticton was considerably higher than Summerland’s rate. In Summerland, ice time was $80 an hour, while the McLaren Arena in Penticton charged $175 an hour and the South Okanagan Events Centre charged $240 an hour. “It’s three times as much to practice at the South Okanagan Events Centre,” Keilty said. He added that the higher fees are charged because the Steam is not a Penticton team. Wilson said holding all practices in Summerland could save the team around $8,000 a year. The Steam had some practices at the Summerland Arena
last year, but those practice times were in the early afternoon, during the high school’s lunch hour. Between 10 and 15 of the team’s 22 players would show up for those practices. “We still need an evening practice for the kids who can’t make it during the day,” Wilson said. The team includes players in high school, college and university as well as some who are working. Brenda Ingram, assistant director of the municipality’s parks and recreation department, said the ice schedule for the upcoming season has not yet been set. The users of the arena include the Steam, minor hockey, the Summerland Skating Club and others. Daytime ice is also in demand as schools use the arena for their skating programs. Teams, leagues and other ice users are on the ice each day from 5:30 a.m. until past midnight.

Pikes finish fifth at Revelstoke swim meet Penticton Pikes attended a swim meet in Revelstoke over the weekend. More than 350 swimmers were there; 10 teams from all over the province. The Pikes had a small group of swimmers, yet placed fifth overall in team points due to the swimmers performing extremely well. Head coach Elliot Clarke said this was a good meet in preparation for regionals as all of the top regional swimmers attended. He also noted that

there are many Pikes swimmers this year that will be in contention for medals at regionals. Penticton will host the top swimmers in the region Aug. 3 and 4, at the Penticton Aquatic centre.

Top swimmers qualify for championships Three Orca Swim Team members among best in province
Triathlon effort
Ken Cashion, left, and Neil Croft, two Summerland neighbours, finished other at the Osoyoos triathlon on the weekend.
The Summerland Orca Swim Team had three swimmers qualify for the B.C. AAA Swimming Championships — a competition that brings the best age group swimmers from around the province. Daniel Nixon, 14, Haley Berrisford, 12, and Jamie Ferguson, 16, all competed in the five-day swim meet July 4 to 8 at the UBC Aquatic Centre. “The energy was electric on the pool deck, since the competition took place indoors and outwithin seconds of each doors. It felt like an Olympic outdoor venue and our swimmers rose to the challenge with many personal bests,” said interim head coach Delano Ducheck. Berrisford placed fourth in the Open In the last kiloWater 2000m race, metre, Croft gained a few seconds on seventh in the 800m his neighbour and freestyle and 12th in crossed the finish line the 400 Freestyle. “This was the first to place first in the time an Orca swimage group 50 to 54. mer raced in the open Cashion was on his heels and finished water event, and her a few seconds later, triathlon experience also securing the first gave her extra confiposition, but in the dence going into the men’s age group 60 race,” Ducheck said. Ferguson placed to 64. 10th in the 100m Both have their sights on The Chal- backstroke, 12th in lenge Triathlon at the 200m backstroke, the end of August. and 18th in the 200m Cashion did the Iron- breaststroke. “Jamie is on track man in 2011 and he to peak at her biggest is wanting to do the Challenge as a cele- meet of the year in bration of the 60th two weeks, the Junior birthday milestone. National Championships in Montreal,”
Summerlanders compete in Osoyoos triathlon Two Summerland neighbours finished the Osoyoos triathlon within a few seconds of each other, despite an age difference of almost 10 years. Neil Croft finished first in the 50 to 54 age group with a time of 5:32:15 while Ken Cashion finished first in the 60 to 64 age group with a time of 5:32:45. The men are neighbours but have different schedules so do not have the opportunity to train together. In the two-kilometre swim, Croft exited the placid wat-
ers of Osoyoos Lake about 10 seconds ahead of Cashion. Cashion wasted a frustrating minute in the bike transition as the velcro on his water bottle was not securely fastened on the areo bars. “My water bottle fell twice as I was exiting the bike transition,” he said. “Wearing cycling gloves made it difficult to secure the velcro strap.” The 90-kilometre bike course goes up Richter Pass and the athletes fought a strong head wind, in addition to the gruel-
ling incline. The two kept each other in sight as they cycled up to the Richter summit. They were close enough to exchange greetings as they reached the summit and headed into Cawston. After three hours of cycling, they returned to the bike transition within 15 seconds of each other. The 21-kilometre run went around Osoyoos Lake. “I was tired of looking at the back of Ken’s head,” Croft said.

The creative writing contest is open to emerging writers of short fiction and poetry. Manuscript must be printed on white paper, doublespaced, 12 point Times New Roman font, with page numbers. The author’s name should not appear on the work. Please enclose a separate cover page listing author’s name, address, and phone number as blind judging is in effect.

prepared for every kind of weather and possibly bugs too. Bring a snack and drink to enjoy at the top of the mountain. Anyone not wanting to make the trip to the top of Giant’s Head will be dropped off at the museum on the way up. For those unable to take part on the geology tour the air conditioned museum is the perfect place to visit on a hot Okanagan afternoon. When you are there be sure to check out the fabulous new display on the Japanese community of Summerland. Their other dis-
plays depict the early growth of our town, from the pre-settlement era and the time of the fur brigade trail, through to the days of pioneer life and beyond. One of the highlights being the fifty foot mural by Summerland artist Bruce Crawford.
