Band concert
John Arendt Summerland Review
Maria Raitt, a Grade 9 student at Summerland Secondary School, was one of the musicians performing at the school’s band concert at Centre Stage Theatre last week.
Marijuana plants seized A 31-year-old Summerland man was arrested and 492 marijuana plants were seized from a commercial building in Summerland on Friday evening. The incident occurred at a building in the 9000 block of Shale Avenue. The man had a Designated Person Production Licence,
issued by Health Canada for the production of marijuana. “He was not operating according to his licence,” said Sgt. Stephane Lacroix of the Summerland RCMP. All the plants at the facility, along with the related equipment were seized. A police investigation is continuing.
Police say they have received numerous complaints about marijuana grow operations in Summerland this year. “Each one we investigated had licences,” Lacroix said. Changes in the regulations governing the production of medical marijuana will take effect in early spring.
Summerland has a vibrant, diverse culture, but the community needs meeting spaces and a cultural plan, members of Summerland Cultural Development Committee say. In September, a meeting to discuss culture in Summerland drew close to 60 people, representing a cross-section of the community, organizers said. “It was clear Summerlanders are interested in looking at the cultural climate,” said Margaret Holler, one of the event organizers. She said Summerland offers plenty of cultural opportunities. “We have so many activities. We have the diversity. We’re a little community that offers something for everyone,” she said. While the diversity is in place, she said the community needs a long-term cultural plan. Other organizers of the September meeting agree. “I truly believe we can become a much more vibrant community,” said Barbara Thorburn. She added that leadership from the municipality and the chamber of commerce would help to maintain Summerland’s vibrant culture. David Mallory, another of the event organizers, added that the need now is to find a way to bring together the various groups and cultural activities within the community. Municipal administrator Tom Day said the municipality has identified a cultural plan as a priority for Summerland. “The whole cultural side of a community is very important,” he said. Municipal staff will meet to determine how to get the necessary community input to create the plan. “We need a proper public process to develop a plan,” Day said. In addition to creating the plan, Day said he will work to redefine the terms of reference for the Cultural Development Committee. “The existing terms of reference didn’t match what they had been doing,” he said. Much of the committee’s work has been in planning and organizing various cultural events for Summerland. The new terms are needed to reflect this direction.

EDITORIAL
our pick
Controlling marijuana A drug bust in Summerland on the weekend should raise some serious concerns about the present regulation of medical marijuana grow operations. On Friday evening, a Summerland man was arrested and 492 plants were seized from a building on Shale Avenue. The man had a Designated Person Production Licence issued by Health Canada, but police say he was not following the terms of that licence. This is not the first time marijuana plants have been seized in Summerland and it will not be the last time either. Marijuana production is an ongoing issue throughout the province and across Canada. The issue becomes more complicated since some licenses have been issued for the production of medical marijuana. This year, police have received numerous complaints about grow operations within Summerland, but each one was a complaint about a licenced operation. Because of the structure of the legislation, it has been difficult for police to ensure that these operations are following the terms of their licenses. At the end of March, the regulations will change and the production of medical marijuana will then be limited to large commercial operators instead of the smaller outfits. Still, the future of marijuana production is far from clear in British Columbia. A provincewide campaign is underway to collect signatures from those who are in favour of a referendum to decriminalize the possession of marijuana. The petition organizers are also urging the province to change marijuana enforcement and want the federal government to repeal its prohibition of marijuana. At present, tens of thousands of signatures have already been collected. Whatever the outcome of the petition and a referendum, if one takes place, the concerns and controversy surrounding marijuana use and production are here to stay.
While Summerland does not yet have a cultural plan in place, it is encouraging to see that the need for such a plan has been identified. The community needs to understand what culture means here and how to manage it. The concern with this or any plan is that it must reflect the community rather than a single individual or a small group. Any good plan should have plenty of public input.
culls
B.C. oil spill study misinterpreted VICTORIA – The release of the B.C. government’s detailed study into oil spill response capability off the West Coast created the usual brief wave of media shock and horror. This just in! If crude oil spilled in the Dixon Entrance, the storm-tossed sea lane north Tom Fletcher of Haida Gwaii, the combined resources of Canadian and U.S. containment and collection response could only recover an estimated four per cent of it. And that’s in the summer! The winter recovery rate would be more like three per cent. Talk radio and website headlines set the narrative in minutes. How could anyone even consider running oil tankers through that pristine B.C. coastal area? It’s crazy! Here’s the big fact clearly stated in the study by U.S.based Nuka Research and Planning Group, and ignored by most of the media and public. There are hundreds of tankers filled with crude oil sailing through these stormy seas every year. It’s been going on since Alaska North Slope crude was developed in the 1970s. Six of the seven oil spill simulations run by Nuka are based on Alaska crude, because that’s overwhelmingly what has been shipped along B.C.’s North Coast for 40 years. This
lack of crude oil spill response capability has existed the entire time, without a whisper of protest or media attention, even after the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster near the oil’s point of origin. The current narrative, hammered home by U.S.-controlled environmental groups and their aboriginal partners in the “Great Bear Rainforest,” is that only Canadian oil is a threat. How much Alaska crude is shipped down the B.C. coast? According to Nuka’s analysis, it’s currently about 38 million cubic metres each year. That’s enough to fill B.C. Place stadium to the roof – 15 times. The Sierra-Greenpeace-ForestEthics-Dogwood gang, a sort of billionaire-bankrolled green Team America, has worked hard to promote the falsehood that “tar sands” oil is vastly worse than that nice fairtrade Alaska stuff. Their claims about acidity and abrasiveness of diluted bitumen didn’t hold up, and it’s still hotly contested whether the heavy oil in diluted bitumen would float, emulsify or sink in actual sea conditions. When the federal government announced a study to determine what spilled bitumen would do in North Coast waters, that too was attacked by the Green Party as a secret scheme to prop up Enbridge’s pipeline proposal. So it’s a scandal when you don’t know the answers, and it’s a scandal when you try to find them.
Another question that gets little attention is whether it’s better for spilled oil to sink rather than wash up on beaches. Crude oil is, if you’ll pardon the expression, organic. Spills produce a huge spike in oileating bacteria that leads to an increase in fish populations at a certain stage. This was documented in a 1994 book called Degrees of Disaster, written by an expert who stayed on in Valdez for four years, long after the TV cameras and grandstanding politicians went home. Victoria-based Dogwood seized on a 2012 Nuka study done for the Haisla Nation at Kitimat, which found that in ocean conditions that are present more than half of the time, there would be no immediate way to respond to a spill at sea. Dogwood’s “no tankers campaign director” hinted that this information was intentionally left out of the B.C. government study, and the media ate it up. No tankers? Better check again. Dogwood’s mission is clearly not to protect the B.C. coast from oil spills. If it were, they would be protesting the ongoing risk from Alaska tankers.

It is disappointing to see how few Summerland businesses have a strong online presence. Considering how many customers will go online before making a purchase, it make sense to have information about Summerland products, services and prices available for them. This week, during Small Business Week, the Summerland Chamber has held sessions for businesses about creating or improving a web presence. It is now up to individual businesses to develop their own online strategies.

The early years
Fuel for the fire
Photo courtesy of the Summerland Museum
At this time of year pickup trucks loaded with wood are a familiar sight in town, but one hundred years ago, they looked a little different. Firewood was the main fuel used for heating and cooking—no electric or gas back-up—so a couple of pickup loads wouldn’t have gone very far. Driver (Jimmy Fyffe?) is shown here with a wagon load of split wood, possibly destined to heat John Ritchie’s shoe repair shop and the living quarters above. It would probably take a few more loads to get through the winter but clearing land for orchards provided a fairly good source of firewood back then.
Congratulations to Summerland author Dear Editor: I would like to congratulate Summerland author Sherril Foster and her publisher Caitlin Press of Vancouver on the release of A Steady Lens. The True Story of Pioneer Photographer Mary Spencer. Foster, former administrator of the Summerland Museum, tells the story of Spencer whose photographs include those of the notorious Bill Miner and his gang. The quality of Foster’s organ-
ization and writing is excellent and the physical book itself a work of art. The design, quality of paper and reproduction of photographs are outstanding. Each year Caitlin Press publishes only two or three of the over 200 manuscripts it receives from hopeful authors. Congratulations, Sherril on a job well done. Susan McIver Summerland
Concerns raised about radiation from cell tower Dear Editor: We just heard from a friend about the intention to install another transmitter by Rogers on the cell tower. We just bought a house in Summerland, believing that here we will be able to find a safe environment far from any source of radiation. We oppose any additional radiation in our neighbourhood and in Summerland. We expect the muni-
cipality to represent our interests and not to surrender to commercial influences. We urge the municipality to stop that
initiative immediately and not to impose more radiation on us and our children. Ron Nissim Summerland

Proof of unit’s benefits must rest with inventor Dear Editor, My letter regarding the proposed amendment to Summerland’s energy policy prompted responses from the manufacturer of the Revolution unit and one of its customers. I would like to clarify that I am not questioning a home owner’s decision to buy this equipment for personal use. My concern rests with ElectroMotion’s
plans to install a large number of their Revolution units in Summerland and to connect them to our electrical grid. It is claimed that their technology will save home owners and community money while being carbon neutral. How is this possible? We are enjoying some of the lowest utility rates in the world. Ninety-three per
cent of our electricity is generated using clean and renewable resources. How can this be improved by connecting a number of gas burning generators to our local grid? This is what my letter was all about. Before our administration and Council consider the requested change to our energy policy, they must scrutinize technical, cost and
environmental data provided by ElectroMotion. They must then include the significant cost of adding power distribution and control equipment to the municipal grid. Only then can we be assured that our tax dollars are spent wisely while protecting our environment. Henry Sielmann Summerland

Summerland featured in historical report The Okanagan Historical Society’s 77th Annual Report is now available at the Summerland Museum. This year’s report includes items with a Summerland connection. There is an article
on Duncan Woods, one of Summerland’s first pioneers and certainly the Okanagan Valley’s most colourful character. “Dunc” owned the southern half of Trout Creek. He sat on the Mascot Mine claim at Hedley almost
his whole life before he allowed it to be mined: more than seven tonnes of gold were recovered. There is an article on Summerland’s two gardens; the Ornamental Gardens and the Blewett gardens. An article
describes the recent highway expansion north of Summerland and an article about the origins of Summerland’s Experimental Farm The farm, now the Pacific Agri-food Research Centre, celebrates its 100th anni-
versary next year. Again this year, there is an expanded section on First Nations. This section includes an oral history of the arrival of

Transit route unveiled Fees for new service waived until end of year by John Arendt After years of waiting, transit service will arrive in Summerland beginning next week. The announcement was made on
Monday afternoon as municipal officials and representatives from B.C. Transit unveiled the route. “Many of you have been advocates for reliable, scheduled service,” said Steve Harvard, B.C. Transit’s regional transit manager for the Southern Interior.
Mayor Janice Perrino said the quest for a scheduled bus service started around 20 years ago. She added that it took effort from many in the community to bring in the service. Kevin Schubert, director of regional transit with B.C. Transit said the efforts

required for the bus have been impressive. The route will provide service to the library, schools, the Summerland Health Centre and the Summerland Seniors Village before continuing to Penticton. Service to Trout Creek will also be provided. The service will begin on Monday, Oct. 28 and will offer service to Penticton Monday to Friday, four times a day. Twice a day, the bus will also stop in Trout Creek. Until Dec. 31, the service will be free. “We are trying to make the new transit system as easy to use as possible,” Perrino said. “That is why we are initially waiving fares and hope that people give the new
service a try.” She explained that it will take time to build ridership numbers for the new service. While the service will provide a needed service, she added that it cannot accommodate all needs, especially at first. “We are pleased to be partnering with Summerland to provide local scheduled transit coverage while maintaining a vital regional connector,” said Manuel Achadinha, president and CEO of B.C. transit. “This new service will be an efficient and effective way for Summerland residents to stay connected to their work, friends and community.” The schedule can be found at bctransit. com/regions/sum/ schedules/schedule. cfm?line=1&v=u.

Businesses urged to go online While most Canadian consumers will do online research before making a purchase, many small and medium sized businesses do not have the online presence they need, business leaders say. Christine Petkau, manager of the Summerland Chamber of Commerce, said roughly 80 per cent
of Canadian consumers do online research before making a spending decision, but 30 per cent of small and medium businesses do not have a web presence. She added that while specific figures are not available for Summerland, the online presence here appears to be lower than for the rest of the

country. She said websites, a Facebook page and Twitter updates are part of a complete media package. However, for a number of Summerland businesses, the only online presence is a single profile page on the Summerland Chamber’s website. She said a good website, with infor18th Annual
mation about the products and services sold as well as testimonials, core values and a mission statement, can help customers make their decisions. “I always want to find out a little more,” she said. “Only a website provides you with
a range of services a company may be providing.” This week, during Small Business Week, the chamber has held events and sessions on social media and online promotion of businesses. Petkau said those businesses with a strong presence on

New ownership
Summerland’s bowling alley has reopened under new ownership. Owners Brian and Linda King have renamed it High Roller Lanes Summerland, and they are open 2 to 10 p.m. daily. They are busy with staff training and welcoming new league teams, so watch for more news as they ramp up for their first season. Just around the corner from the bowling alley, another business has changed hands. The Beijing Restaurant is now under the ownership of Wing Ning Chau. Originally from
China, Chau moved to Vancouver 18 years ago, but says he was drawn to Summerland for the Okanagan lifestyle.
Studio tour
Several Chamber members have joined in an upcoming event showcasing Summerland art. The Summerland Studio Tour weekend runs Nov. 2 to 3, and 15 local studios will be open to the public, including Calvin R Gallery, Cherry Tree Quilts, Delong Studio, Elizabeth Wrobel Photography, Red Willow Forge, SASS, Stacy Studios, Summerland Art Gallery and Trout Creek Studio.

The money is raised on Fridays, when staff members contribute $1, matched by the Credit Union, for the privilege of wearing jeans to work. This time the money raised was donated to the Friends of the Summerland Library Society for the Doughnuts with Dad event on the Father’s Day weekend, the Mother’s Day tea and the Books for Babies program. Books for Babies, initially a provincial initiative, was abandoned by the province in 2010. Since that time, the Friends of the Summerland Library Society have given book bags and books to every baby born to Summerland parents.

Midget Rep Jets fall short at tourney The Summerland Midget Rep Jets, sponsored by Nesters Market hosted the Sam Hanon Memorial Midget tournament last weekend. In their first game on Friday night, Summerland hosted the Spokane Chiefs. It was an action packed game with Spokane holding a 3-0 first period team after a sluggish start from the Jets. Spokane made it 4-0 in the second before Summer-
land finally got on the board at the 9:22 mark of the third. In a scramble In the front of the net, Kevin Greenwood grabbed the puck and fired it home with assists going to Clayton Fenrich and Chad Lemke. Spokane answered back with one more to hand Summerland a 5-1 loss in Game 1. Summerland had a lot of good chances on the power play, but strong play by the Spokane goalie kept Summer-

land to the lone goal. In the next game Summerland Nesters Market Midgets Jets took on North Delta. Summerland was on their game scoring first in a short handed situation. Adain McLusky stole the puck at centre ice from a North Delta defence and found the back of the net on a breakaway to give Summerland a lead at the end of the first. Summerland moved the puck well and skated hard with lots of chances. in the second. However, North Delta took advantage of their opportunities and notched three goals in the second to
move them ahead 3-1. Summerland answered back quickly with Jacob Lusted going bar down to bring Summerland within one. The lone assist went to Spencer Millar. Summerland pulled their goaltender late and almost tied it up when Lusted rang one of the post, but North Delta hung on for the 3-2 victory. As they did in all four of their losses the Jets outshot their opponents. Game three, which would decide third place in their pool, pitted the Jets against the Coquitlam Chiefs. The Chiefs outscored Summerland 2-1 in
the first period. Summerland’s lone goal was scored by Austin Warkentin with assists going to Chad Lemke and Dakota Deane. In the second period, Austin Warkentin went to work netting two markers to give him his hat trick. Assists went to Lusted with two and Linden Gove and Spencer Miller with one each to tie the game at three a piece. The third period was evenly matched with lot of chance on both sides. It stayed tied at 4-4 until the Chiefs shocked the Jets with a goal with only four seconds left to seal
the deal 5-4. It was a back and forth game in which Summerland once again out shot their opponents, but came up empty handed. S u m m e r land placed fourth in their pool so they would be playing for seventh place against the Cloverdale Colts. In a game where the Jets outshot the Colts 50-15 they once again ran into some hot goaltending and fell 3-1. The lone Summerland goal was scored by Austin Warkentin with assists going to Colton Ashton and Clayton Fenrich. The Jets played the
game without some key players who were banged up and unable to play. Head Coach Cal Johnson was pleased with the team’s performance despite the losses. “We won every aspect of the game except on the scoreboard where it counts,” Johnson said. “We are generating chances, which is proven by the shots on goal advantage we held. We are close to where we want to be and will be a force this season. Our goal is going to be to come out harder at the start of games, get an early lead and take some of the pressure off ourselves.”

June 16, 1925 – October 16th, 2013 Ed Kuehn, 88, of Summerland BC, died peacefully the morning of October 16th, 2013 at the Summerland Senior’s Village. He was born June 16th, 1925 near Blackfoot, AB to William and Lydia Kuehn. Ed was predeceased by his wife Bergie. They were married on December 8th, 1948. Ed’s legacy is continued in the lives of his children: Richard (Joanne), Vernon (Maureen), Alan (Lucy), Garnet (Monique), Nola, Shauna (Kim), 13 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. Ed’s professional life was impressive. He founded Ed Kuehn Services in the oil fields of the Prairies. Though successful, this was a precursor to his true passion in life—raising and training world-class horses. He and his wife began Ed-N-Berg Appaloosas in Rocky Mountain House, AB continuing for many years after moving to Summerland. Ed was renowned for his commitment to his horses, exemplified by the countless awards and accolades that were proudly displayed in his home. Ed loved to fish, camp, and ride his horses. If he was ever inside during the summer, there was a baseball game on his television. Ed was also involved with the Summerland Trail Riders Association, and was always present at the annual Summerland Rodeo. In later years, he could be found meeting his friends for morning coffee at the Country Cafe. Ed lived a long, full life and will missed as much as he is loved. Our family extends a special thank you to the staff at Summerland Senior’s Village for taking such good care of this wonderful man. Celebration of Ed’s life will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #22, 14205 Rosedale Ave, Summerland, BC on Saturday, October 26, 2013 at 1:00 pm. In Ed’s honour, donations may be made to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation. Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com.

Critteraid charity store relocates by John Arendt
A little more than a year ago, in July, 2012, Critteraid’s Charity Shoppe opened at its location on the second storey of a building on Main Street. Next month, the store will move to a larger location as it
occupies the former Penny Lane Bargain Outlet building on Victoria Road North. The building was purchased by Cynthia Kereluk and Paul Rodgers, who had also purchased the earlier Critteraid Charity Shop location.
Kereluk and Rodgers purchased the larger building to provide Critteraid with a bigger space on street level. Deborah Silk, president of Critteraid, said the new location will allow access to some who could not handle the
stairs in the existing space. The store is near the Summerland Health Care Auxiliary Thrift Shop and the newly opened Full Circle Outlet store. Silk believes the three shops will compliment each other as customers will stay in
the area to visit all three. Kereluk and Rodgers have supported Critteraid and other animal charities in the past. “The generosity of Cynthia and Paul is beyond imagination,” Silk said. “Not only are the animals
at Critteraid Farm benefiting from the sales at the Critteraid Charity Thrift Shoppe, but our Outreach Program has grown substantially helping people with their animals throughout the community. We are all so enormously grateful to these kind, caring
and compassionate human beings for making this all possible.” Volunteers will move to the new location on Friday, Nov. 1 beginning at 9 a.m. The new store will be open beginning at 11 a.m. that day.

In front from left are Bob Calhoun, Richard Hayter, Doug Clayton, Sharon Unrau.
Railway volunteers honoured By Carla McLeod Special to the Review The Kettle Valley Steam Railway held its annual volunteer appreciation dinner last Friday evening. In addressing the volunteers, General Manager Ron Restrick said, “I’m very proud to say that in our operation this season, we have accumulated 2,500 hours of volunteer time. That is phenomenal. I truly believe in my heart that we would not be as successful without all of you, so thank you.” While all of the volunteers were appreciatively thanked, a few were given special recognition. Restrick explained how as a non-profit organization, the board of directors are also volunteers, bringing their life skills and vision to the table. President Doug
Clayton was recognized as being the longest serving volunteer in the organization’s history. He too thanked those in attendance and reminded everyone of the very important part the railway plays in tourism for the Okanagan Valley, saying, “We are rapidly becoming one of the premier heritage railway attractions in all of B.C., if not in all of the country.” Sharon Unrau was given special thanks and presented with a gift for the fantastic job she does co-ordinating and scheduling the other volunteers. Also recognized and given gifts were Richard Hayter and Bob Calhoun, who work behind the scenes. Restrick described them as Christmas Elves, saying, “They make everything happen when we’re asleep so to
speak.” He then cited things they do like, build picnic shelters, put in irrigation and repair decking, adding “I could go on and on.” Appreciation was expressed for students Megan Bradford and Rebecca Fedelli. Other individuals were thanked
for baking, cooking hot dogs, gardening, answering phones and serving on the coaches. If you know a positive story about someone in our community, contact Carla McLeod at carlamcleod@shaw.ca or contact the Summerland Review newsroom at 250-494-5406.

A high-quality antifreeze/coolant, like Prestone LongLife, which is designed for use with any antifreeze/coolant in any vehicle make or model, can have a long service life. However, it’s still important to monitor the coolant level and condition regularly. Virtually all modern vehicles have a pressurized cooling system with a plastic coolant expansion tank clearly visible under the hood. There are usually “high” and “low” marks on the tank to make things easier. For added convenience when topping up, and to ensure the correct water/coolant ratio is maintained, Prestone comes in a premixed formulation of 50% coolant and 50% demineralized water. But it’s not enough simply to check the level. A professional technician should also test the condition of the coolant and the coolant concentration to ensure that it doesn’t need to be replaced.

Most people only thinkabout their vehicle’s antifreeze/ coolant during extreme weather conditions...or when it’s too late and their overheated vehicle is stranded on the side of the road. The truth is, antifreeze/coolant is a year ‘round concern. “As the name implies, antifreeze/coolant performs two functions,” explains Jay Buckley, ASE certified master mechanic and training manager for Prestone. “It helps keep the engine’s cooling system from freezing up in cold weather and from boiling over in hot weather.” In order to help lower exhaust emissions, modern engines run at very high operating temperatures. Cooling system temperatures of 110º C are not uncommon. What’s more, many engines are constructed of dissimilar metals, which can lead to corrosion. All of this puts more stress on the antifreeze/coolant.
