Pipeline demonstration

Around 60 people gathered at Sunoka Beach and at the Summerland sign for a demonstration on Saturday in opposition to a proposed oil pipeline. Similar demonstrations were held across the province on Saturday.

Pipeline demonstration held by John Arendt

Summerlanders concerned about the risks from pipelines and oil sands expansion gathered as Sunoka Beach on Saturday. Around 60 people took part in the demonstration. Don Gayton, speaking to the participants, said he was pleased to see

people getting involved in a public issue. “I think it’s an incredibly important thing to do,” he said. “The pipeline is the biggest climate issue we will face in our lifetime.” Gayton said oil-related discussions are difficult because the entire population depends on oil. “Our petroleum drug of choice is becoming

more and more expensive,” he said. “With petroleum, we’re all junkies.” The rally at noon was part of a national event, Defend Our Climate, Defend Our Communities, to show the risk from pipelines and oil sands expansion. Rallies were also held at offices of federal politicians.

Erin Carlson, local organizer of the event, said the event was intended to show support for environmental protection. “The people of this country are paying attention,” she said “All we can do is keep trying.” While a proposed pipeline from the Alberta oil sands to the B.C. coast does not pass through Summerland, Carlson

said the pipeline still affects the community and the region. “It affects us just as much as it’s going to affect everyone else,” she said. She added that a recent poll from the University of Montreal shows a majority of Canadians want the federal government to take stronger action on climate change.

Police RePoRt Wine stolen On Nov. 13, Summerland RCMP were called after homemade wine was stolen from an open garage. The theft occurred at a home on Prior Place.

Youth arrested for trafficking

On Nov. 13 at 3:20 p.m., police arrested a 14-year-old boy who was attempting to sell marijuana at Summerland Secondary School. The boy was charged with possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking. School officials are also dealing with the youth.

Racer crashes

A young motorist lost control of his vehicle while street racing on Sinclair Road on Friday. The incident occurred at 11 a.m. One of two young motorists involved in the race lost control and hit a fence. The 17-year-old Summerland boy has been charged with failing to remain at the scene of an accident. Parents of both boys have also been notified.

Driver impaired

An impaired motorist, travelling nearly twice the posted speed limit, spent the night in jail on Sunday. The incident occurred on Nov. 17 at 12:35 a.m. when police observed a speeding motorist on Highway 97 near Jubilee Road East. The driver was travelling at 118 kilometres an hour in a 60 km/h zone. The 43-year-old Kelowna man showed signs of impairment and blew a Fail reading during a roadside screening test. As a result, he was issued a 90-day driving prohibition and his vehicle was impounded for 30 days. He also spent the night in cells in Penticton as a result. Cpl. Bruce Haley of the Summerland RCMP detachment said police will have additional shifts in place during the holiday season to stop impaired drivers.

Funds received for trail repair A popular Summerland walking trail, closed because of erosion, will reopen to the public next year after repairs are made. Don Darling, director of engineering and public works for the community, said a $67,500 grant has been received for repairs to the Summerland Centennial Trail. The total cost of repairing the trail is $135,000. A section of the trail which measures 20 to 30 metres in

length and three to five metres in height was affected by erosion. Darling said the slide was the result of natural erosion, although the erosion had been more severe in the last two years. The trail will require stabilizing in order to make it safe and to prevent future slides. While the funding

our pick

Waiting for water bills The ongoing quest to come up with a perfect water metering system means it will be more than a year before the community abandons its present flat rate billing. Over the past several years, municipal staff and council have revisited the issue of billing time and again. Many models have been considered and there have been plenty of open houses to show the public how these billing options would affect them. The effort to develop the best possible billing model is commendable, but it is also time-consuming. We can understand that a metering system will be complicated in Summerland. Some residential properties are on huge lots and require plenty of irrigation in summer. Others require little or no additional water. Water use is a complex issue and a simple billing structure will not be fair to all users. Finding a workable model has been a more difficult task than any have imagined. There have been numerous open houses and opportunities for public input. Plenty of effort has been made in order to arrive at the billing model which is now under consideration. Despite the best efforts and most thorough plans, it is not possible to satisfy everyone about the billing system. The transition to a metered system instead of a flat rate for water is significant, but it is also necessary. Once Summerlanders adjust to a metered system, it will be a small matter to make slight adjustments to the calculations. We can understand the reluctance about introducing the metered bills during the late spring or summer, when consumption is high. However, postponing the metering system until the beginning of 2015 seems like a lengthy delay.

The funding has been received for repairs to one of Summerland’s walking trails. The work will not only help to make the trail safer. It will also help to prevent future slides in the area. The total cost of the project is estimated at $135,000. While such costs add to the total price of maintaining the municipality, the improvements cannot be ignored.

Two solitudes on B.C. farmland VICTORIA – My late father used to say that if he ever won the lottery, he would “farm until it’s all gone.” It was 1960 when he and my mother pulled up stakes in the Okanagan, where their families had been for generations, and moved north to carve a homestead out of a half section in the Peace River country. Tom Fletcher So it’s a mainly northern perspective that I bring to the latest debate over B.C.’s agricultural land reserve. A dialogue of the deaf has been going on for decades in B.C., where there are two separate realities in agriculture. The dominant voice is always from the southwest, from the Okanagan to the Fraser Valley to southern Vancouver Island. This is not only B.C.’s most productive land, it’s also the place of greatest population and development pressure, where three million of the province’s four million residents live and more arrive every day. In the rest of the province, except for pockets that are attractive for recreational development, farming is a tough row to hoe. These days, people are more likely to be moving away. In our urbanized society, the loudest voices tend to be the least informed, from backyardchicken hipsters to what I call

“drive-by environmentalists,” who like to look out their car windows at green fields as they motor from their subdivisions to big-box stores. The elderly Sikhs and Mexican guest workers bent over in the fields don’t need their lofty lectures on “food security.” Voices from the rest of the province are seldom heard and quickly shouted down, as was the case at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver. Merritt councillor Mike Goetz pleaded for relief from an Agricultural Land Commission that refuses to release a property that has “grown nothing but rocks and tumbleweeds for the last 100 years.” Similar property next door was released, but not this parcel, blocking a project for five years in a little town that could use the work and additional tax base. Urban sprawl isn’t a big problem in Merritt, which like many small towns is trying to hang onto its population. Spallumcheen councillor Ed Hanoski described the situation beyond the towns, the real rural B.C. He proposed easing the restrictions on building a second home on farm properties. Currently, farmers can put a mobile home on their property for an elderly or infirm relative, but nothing with a permanent foundation. Once that relative moves or passes away, the home is supposed to be removed.

Hanoski said a sewage system for such a residence costs around $12,000. Add the temporary foundation, skirting, well hookup, power, landscaping, driveway, and a mobile home that will lose its value if it has to be moved, and the property owner takes a loss of $150,000 or more. That’s why the removal rule is routinely ignored in rural B.C., Hanoski said. These second homes are the only rental stock there is, providing modest income for marginal farms, and should be allowed permanent foundations. Motion defeated, after a scolding from a Sunshine Coast delegate about people lusting to build mansions on farmland. I asked Bill Bennett, the cabinet minister in charge of the latest agricultural land review, about a rumoured proposal to split the province into two zones with different rules. He declined to comment, but described the case of Fort Steele Farms, the East Kootenay community’s only market garden that almost closed because the next generation was initially refused permission for a second home. The two zones approach deserves serious consideration. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalNews. com. Twitter:@tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca

culls

On Saturday, demonstrators across the province, including some in Summerland, spoke out against the proposed oil pipeline. Whatever one thinks of the pipeline proposal, the demonstrators have some concerns which deserve to be addressed. Unfortunately, the dialogue needed on this issue is not taking place. This is not an issue which is as simple as being for or against a proposed pipeline. Concerns from all sides need to be raised and considered seriously.

In 1971 Summerland got its first museum—in the form of a small brick building attached to the old arena beside the badminton hall. It didn’t take long for Summerland’s history to outgrow that space. November 26th has been designated as Canadian Museums Day so we invite you to visit us, take a good look at our facility and help us find a way to meet the growing needs of our community. We will be open on Tuesday, Nov. 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. as well as our regular days, Wednesday through Saturday from 1 to 4. We are proud to be the keepers of Summerland’s heritage, and since you are part of that heritage, why not come and see what we’re doing.

Complications seen in billing method Continued from Page 1

Metering model

Summerlanders examine information and raise their concerns about the proposed water metering model during an open house on Thursday.

NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION In accordance with the Local Government Act (section 809 and 810), Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen proposed Bylaw 2632, 2013 includes the following properties, which will receive exemptions from Property Taxes for 2014. Assessment Roll Number

Legal Description

Civic Address

Organization

Rather than introduce the metered billing in late spring or early summer, Day said the municipality plans to wait until January of 2015. By starting at the beginning of the year, the billing would be in place outside of the irrigation season, when water bills are small. The switch from a flat rate to a metered system has been a long process. Day said the change is more difficult than it first appears. “It’s a complex problem. You can’t get a simple solution,” he said. The complexity comes because residential properties have varying lot sizes and varying water demands. Agricultural properties are not affected by the billing changes. Mayor Janice Perrino said council members want to have the system working before

introducing the meters. “The one thing we’ve said is we’ve got to do it right,” she said. A t present, P e r rino said there are several problems Janice about the Perrino metering which must be addressed. One of these is finding leaks within the water system. Another is determining how to set up the meters for condominium units. There are questions about whether to have one meter in a multi-family building or one meter for each residential unit. Some residents who have already received the meters have complained that they are not functioning properly. “It’s one of the most complicated issues our community has ever had,” Perrino said of the metering.

Summerland Review Thursday, November 21, 2013

Festival of Lights to include culture The upcoming Festival of Lights is one of the cultural attributes of our community that was mentioned many times at the Conversation Cafe held in September. For culture is more than just the visible signs of art (paintings, murals, sculptures, etc), but includes those activities that reinforce a sense of place and community. Friday, Nov. 29 will be the 26th anniversary of Summerland’s Festival of Lights and this event, has become synonymous as the official start to the holiday season around the Okanagan Valley. Light Up, as it is often called, is a wonderful opportunity for Summerlanders to celebrate and meet up with friends. It is also the perfect time to check out local art in time for Christmas. The Summerland Pleasure Painters will again be holding a show and sale beginning on Friday at 10 a.m. and continuing on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. So drop by 10122 Main St. to check out their various paintings and unique Christmas gifts. And at the other end of Main Street, after you pass (and stop to observe) the ice sculptures, you will find Seasons Sparkles — The 12 Gifts of Christmas Sale at the Summerland Art Gallery.

Arts PAlette

David Finnis Seasons Sparkles will feature paintings, fibre art, pottery, jewellery, cards, home decor, original hand made gift items and more. Drop in and warm up on Light Up Night with a cup of free hot apple cider. There will also be a Children’s Activity Table on Friday night. Speaking of kids, some of the great attractions of the Festival of Lights are the different activities located throughout downtown along Main Street and Victoria Road for children. This year there is an additional venue on Henry Ave as Summerland United Church offers various activities for kids as well as a spot to grab a bite to eat. And for mothers who need a moment of quiet, they will have a restful respite area. The theme for this year’s Festival of Lights is Carnival. There will be traditional children’s games, street performers, and food from around the world, something for

the entire family. So join the celebration, kick-off the Christmas season, enjoy the fireworks and participate in a festival that adds to the joie de vivre of Summerland. ooo If you know of an event you feel should be included in the Arts Palette or on the Arts Council’s online calendar, please email artspalette@summerlandarts.com or call 250-404-3225. The SCAC online Event Calendar is on the News page of summerlandarts. com. Additional information can be found at facebook. com/SummerlandArts. Keep up with current news by following @artspalette.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Fall Is Upon Us! It looks like we have turned the corner into Fall. We have enjoyed a very nice September. While not everyone is a snow fanatic, we all enjoy the Okanagan for having a little taste of winter without the prairie-like temperatures. No matter what outdoor activity you enjoy, the fall and winter season is a time when everyone should take extra precautions when driving or traveling. Arriving safely is far more important than getting there quickly. Soon the roads are going to be getting icy and snow covered, so slow down and take that little extra time that will insure your safe arrival. If you are going to enjoy more spirited beverages this fall and winter, please take advantage of Designated Drivers and Taxis. We will all be better off for it.

Shopping local will have an added enticement on Thursday, Dec. 5, from 4 to 8 p.m., when downtown retailers SASS Boutique, True Grain Bread and Cherry Tree Quilts, will have members of the Bottleneck Drive Winery Association offering tastings at each location. This

is a perfect way to get some Christmas shopping done and choose your favourite wines for the holidays.

Women in business

Di Owens of Beauty and the Brit has started a new networking group for Summerland business women. “Women who Mean Business” held its first event last week. Inspired by Penticton Women in Business events, Di says that through the group she hopes to promote entrepreneurship and encourage shopping local. She runs the group through Facebook, and it is free to join.

On the move

Pro-Active Safety System Technologies Inc has moved to their new premises at 9303 Peach Orchard Rd., and welcomed Janet Campbell to their administration staff. Agur Lake Camp Society is opening a new office downtown at 9913 Main St. at the end of the month. The new location will make it easier for the

society to connect with the community.

Expansion

Following the launch of Maple Roch last summer, owner Roch Fortin says they will be doubling their production of maple syrup, which is shipped from the Acadian Peninsula of New Brunswick and bottled at Summerland Sweets. Roch says his goal is to have locally bottled, high quality maple syrup available around the Okanagan Valley.

Apple news

Okanagan Specialty Fruits has announced that the final U.S. public comment period has opened regarding their nonbrowning Arctic apples. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has recommended that Arctic Golden and Arctic Granny varieties should be granted non-regulated status. Okanagan Specialty Fruits hopes the USDA will deregulate Arctic apples by early 2014.

Anniversaries

The Alternative Natural Health Centre Inc. on Kelly Street

The Ladies Auxiliary of Branch 22 of the Royal Canadian Legion has just concluded another monthly meeting. Their priority has always been to assist the branch in their work. They received their charter on March 2, 1927 and were the first Auxiliary to be formed in Canada. Pat Smith has been a member for 52 years. She explained how catering has been one of the Auxiliary’s main sources of income over the years. One of the first events they catered was a skating carnival at Charlie Wharton’s rink (now part

of Memorial Park). Today the auxiliary members cater weddings, anniversaries and funeral teas. Other successful fundraisers are pie night, with pieces of pie and other desserts being sold every second Friday of the month, during the branch’s baron of beef night and the pancake breakfast held the first Saturday of every month. Smith said one of the most worthwhile projects these ladies have ever done has been the purchasing and placement of metal crosses on the local graves of veterans, whose families request it and give a donation. Close to 400 crosses have been placed thus far. The ladies also put a poppy on each cross for Remembrance Day, a daffodil for Easter and help light candles at each

of these graves for VE day. Smith says of her years of service, “I’ve enjoyed the work.” Doreen Bargholz has looked after the 50/50 draw for 24 years. Drawn at the Branch every Saturday, it funds special donations to many different foundations such as the Transition House, Women in Need, Hospice and the local food bank. Three bursaries are also given out to Summerland graduates each year from the proceeds. “I feel good about it because we are helping someone else,” she said. Elsie Antonovitch has been waiting tables, washing dishes, selling tickets, baking and marching for 52 years. “I’ve enjoyed it and have found it very rewarding,” she

said. At one time a person had to be related to a veteran to join the Auxiliary. That is no longer the case. “I did not have anyone in my family who was involved in the wars, but I’ve always had respect for the veterans and what they’ve done for us,” said First Vice President Joyce Wood. The Auxiliary is always in need of new members. President Julia Law said, “Our membership is getting older and we can’t do as much as we use to do. We really do need some young blood.” If you know of a positive news story about someone in our community, contact Carla McLeod at carlamcleod@ shaw.ca or contact the Summerland Review newsroom at 250-494-5406.

Thursday, November 21, 2013 Summerland Review

Considering the politics of pipelines This past weekend I participated alongside a group of citizens from the community of Merritt and surrounding areas as part of a search and rescue effort, looking for a missing local resident at Stump Lake Ranch. Sadly, we were not successful in our efforts, but it is heartening that so many local citizens came out and helped in the effort to find a fellow community member. I would also like to take a moment to thank the many volunteers who are involved in search and rescue organizations in our local communities throughout Okanagan-Coquihalla. This challenging and highly valued service from so many volunteers is important for those who may be missing a loved one and is very community minded.

hesitate to contact me at your convenience. Also occurring this week is a vote on the opposition day motion from the NDP that was introduced last week. The motion suggests that the Keystone XL pipeline is not in Canada’s best interest. This has been an interesting debate as both our government and the federal Liberals are supportive of the Keystone XL project that the NDP has been actively opposing for some time. On a related theme, this past weekend there was also an effort to organize and demonstrate against the Northern Gateway pipeline in front of my Penticton office. As I was in Merritt and could not attend this gathering, I feel it is important to recognize that a number of citizens took the time to speak out against this particular pipeline project. I also hear from a number of citizens who are strongly supportive of pipelines in general or in some cases supportive of certain pipeline projects but opposed to others. This is certainly an area that I welcome further input from citizens on. While some have expressed opposition to pipelines, very few have proposed alternatives that do not include increased rail or truck transport that also carry risk. Although the House of Commons is now in session until mid-December, if you have a comment, concern or question I am available by phone in the late afternoon and early evening here in B.C. while I am in Ottawa. I can be reached via email dan.albas@ parl.gc.ca or at 1-800665-8711. Dan Albas is the MP for Okanagan Coquihalla.

Chamber encourages shopping locally As the holiday shopping season begins, the Summerland Chamber of Commerce urges Summerlanders to look to local busi-

nesses. Arlene Fenrich, president of the chamber, said local shopping will help the community. “Shopping local is

best for the economy in every way,” she said. “It provides local jobs and returns more money to our local economy than

buying at chain stores.” She added that it is also up to the retailers to attract customers to the community.

“We can’t use guilt as a motivator to entice people to shop locally,” she said. “We must be able to offer them something different than

a shop in Penticton or a big box store in Westbank. Our product offerings must continue to be unique and our relationships with our

Thursday, November 21, 2013 Summerland Review

In the four-man events the team of Kripps, Randall, James McNaughton and Barnett, who had never competed together before, consistently pulled out top start times and in the final heat of the weekend delivered the fastest start time of the whole compe-

tition, pushing out Russia #1, the reigning four-man world champions. Kripps rose to the occasion, drove four runs and the team finished with two silver medals, with only Russia #1 ahead of them in both events. After the gruelling schedule of four big

Team Kripps earns three medals Summerland athlete wins at recent North American Cup competitions

International Bobsleigh competition kicked off this past weekend at the Canadian Olympic Park in Calgary with a double header North America Cup event. The North America Cup circuit is the development level competition just below the World Cup series. In a strategic move Team Canada coaches elected to have Canada #3 (Team Kripps) compete in this season’s

opener rather than have them accompany Canada #1 and #2 teams to Sochi, Russia for the official Olympic 2 week preseason training. The goal is for Canada #3 to have some extra valuable race experience and to hopefully garner some important points in their quest for an Olympic slot. A first place finish in a NAC or a Europa Cup event is equivalent in points to a 13th place finish in a World Cup event. Canada #3 will be vying with Germany #3, Russia #3 and USA #3 for Olympic qualification.

Other countries have used similar strategies. Russia sent all three World Cup teams to this North America Cup circuit event, and USA sent both its #2 and #3 teams. Suddenly this season opening North America Cup circuit event had turned into a mini World Cup event, with several smaller countries also sending their World Cup teams. First up came the two-man event. Canada #3, with Justin Kripps and rookie brakeman Bryan Barnett in his first ever internation-

al race, impressed with the fastest start times, but a slight driving error in the second heat cost them a couple of a hundredths of a second and they slipped from third to fifth place out of a field of 32 teams. USA #2, Russia #1, USA#3 and Russia#2 finished in the top four spots. In the second of the two-man events, Kripps paired up with brakeman Tim Randall. Again they impressed with top start times and this time Kripps held on to secure the bronze medal.

races in three days, the team will have a couple of rest days, then will be back on the ice preparing for the World Cup opener which will also be held in Calgary Nov. 28 to 30. Complete race results can be found at www.bobsleighcanada.ca.

Obituaries

Isabel McCargar On November 14, a long time resident of Summerland Isabel McCargar passed away peacefully with family at her side. She had recently moved to Ridgewood Lodge in Princeton to be closer to family. Isabel is survived by her 3 children, 6 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. After moving to B.C. from Saskatchewan in 1939 she lived most of her 94 years in Summerland. In 1940 she married Allan McCargar in Lower Summerland in what turned out to be a 60 year loving relationship.
