Scam efforts surface by Kristi Patton Black Press

It is a firm reminder to protect personal and financial information after Summerland residents have fallen victim to various scams recently. “Large amounts of money were lost and it is very unfortunate,” said Sgt. Stephane Lacroix.

“These people seem to target the elderly and we are not sure how they know who to choose.” In one case police said a Summerland resident received a phone call from someone claiming to be in Spain stating someone related to the resident died. The fraudster said there was a large sum of money left for the

Summerland resident and they needed to be sent money to deal with the lawyers and free the inheritance to them. “We have had a rash of these telephone frauds lately. People need to remember if it is really too good to be true, then it is,” said Lacroix. In another incident a resident received a call from someone claiming to

be from Canada Revenue Agency and told they owed a certain amount of money. This scam has also been seen in the form of emails and letters claiming to be from the CRA. The scammer asks that in order to receive a refund or benefit payment you must verify your personal information, such as social insurance, credit

card, bank account and passport numbers. “Do not issue any personal information including your date of birth or access to your bank accounts to any stranger. If you feel you are been targeted for a scam contact the RCMP or proper authority to determine if it is legitimate or a scam,” said Lacroix. See EFFORTS Page 3

Energy agreement

The municipality and ElectroMotion Energy Corporation signed an agreement on Monday to connect up to 10 additional power supply units in Summerland. Mayor Janice Perrino signs the agreement on behalf of the municipalty. Beside her is Jai Zachary of ElectroMotion Energy. Standing from left are Coun. Lloyd Christopherson, Harry McWatters of the ElectroMotion board of directors, Coun. Orv Robson, Coun. Robert Hacking, Coun. Peter Waterman and Coun. Martin Van Alphen.

Power agreement approved by John Arendt The municipality and ElectroMotion Energy Corporation entered an agreement to connect up to 10 additional power supply units at individual residences in the community.

The agreement is necessary for a proposal by ElectroMotion Energy to operate a pilot project within Summerland. ElectroMotion’s Revolution unit combines household heating, cooling, hot water and elec-

trical backup systems into one unit. Surplus energy produced by the unit is then fed back into the electrical grid, where it can supplement power coming in from FortisBC. “I think this agreement has a lot of potential,”

municipal administrator Tom Day told council as he outlined the agreement on Monday evening. Jai Zachary of ElectroMotion Energy said the pilot project will help to show how well the Revolution unit functions.

Data will be collected for a year to a year and a half, beginning this fall. “The pilot project is really about demonstration,” he said. The first Revolution in Summerland was installed in the fall of 2011.

Advice from the Pros: Do Not Neglect Auto Service

The average age of a personal vehicle on the road today is more than 11 years, according to recent news reports. In tough economic times, it’s natural to rein in spending. But the experts at the nonprofit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) warn that putting off routine auto maintenance or ignoring service intervals is false economy. Small issues can morph into more expensive repairs. For example, failure to replace worn brake pads or a faulty oxygen sensor -- both relatively easy services for qualified auto technicians -- can result in expensive brake rotor service or costly replacement of the vehicle’s catalytic converter. Frequently neglected items include oil changes, tire and brake service, wheel alignment, air and fuel filters, and transmission service, according to ASEcertified auto technicians. Besides, a well-maintained vehicle gets better gasoline mileage, pollutes less, is safer to operate, and lasts longer than one that’s neglected, notes ASE. To help consumers choose a repair shop

that fits their needs, ASE offers the following checklist: ✔ Look for a neat, well-organized facility, with vehicles in the parking lot equal in value to your own and modern equipment in the service bays. ✔ Look for a courteous staff, with a service consultant willing to answer all of your questions. ✔ Look for policies regarding estimated repair costs, diagnostic fees, guarantees, and acceptable methods of payment. ✔ Ask if the repair facility specializes or if it usually handles your type of repair work. ✔ Look for signs of professionalism in the customer service area, such as civic, community, or customer service awards. ✔ Look for evidence of qualified technicians: trade school diplomas and certificates of advanced course work.

Federal support sought for trail work by Joe Fries Black Press

Organizers working on a plan to connect the entire Okanagan with an offhighway trail suitable for walkers and cyclists are pinning their hopes on some help from Ottawa. “For us to achieve a local benefit, all of the communities must come together to work together with the federal government for infrastructure funding,” said Don Gemmell, the driving force behind the so-called Trail of the Okanagans.

About two dozen people turned out Saturday in Summerland to hear from Gemmell and others about the concept of the trail and challenges that lay ahead. The route is proposed to make use of mainly existing pathways to create a three-metre wide continuous route from one end of the valley to the other, although there are a few gaps to fill, like along Highway 97 between Summerland and Penticton. Gemmell estimates the price of construct-

ing that section of the trail at a minimum of $1 million. Startup costs would likely be smaller south of Penticton. “The distance, as the crow flies, between the SS Sicamous and Osoyoos is approximately 60 kilometres, and most of the trail and rail bed is in place except for approximately three to four kilometres through Gallagher Lake,” he said. The Regional District of OkanaganSimilkameen, one of the local govern-

ments working with Gemmell’s group, is already in the process of applying for tenure on that stretch. “Once they have acquired that access, then the real development of the old rail beds and bridge replacements can take place,” said Gemmell, who began advocating for the project after a cycling tour in Europe in 2008. Kelowna city manager Ron Mattiussi, who attended Saturday’s meeting, told the crowd that related work is also

well underway in the Central and North Okanagan. He said his city and neighbouring local governments are preparing a bid to assume control of the now-defunct Kelowna Pacific Railway line and turn it into a trail that would extend north to Vernon. Mattiussi also noted the federal government has hinted at a fresh round of infrastructure funding in 2015, and a quarter of that cash is expected to be awarded to regional projects.

“Things like regional trails are perfect, because it’s very difficult for one municipality to fund a trail,” he said, adding a multi-use pathway that encourages active living and economic development would make for an attractive funding request. Gemmell has another meeting planned for April 26 at the Days Inn in Penticton, the city he

said would receive the most economic benefit from trail tourism in the South Okanagan. Penticton “is the hospitality centre right now,” he said. “However, people that ride on these pathways rarely travel more than about 40 kilometres per day… and industries will spring up along the route to meet the needs of cycle tourism.”

Gas leak

Carla McLeod Special to the Review

The Summerland Fire Department was called to a potential gas leak last week at Cartwright and Darke Road, where municipal crews were working in a large dug out hole. Dirt sloughed in on a gas line, so for precautionary reasons work was suspended until Fortis Gas arrived and clamped the line.

Efforts target personal information Continued from Page 1

Other scams that have circulated in the Okanagan include the Microsoft Scam and Scareware. Both of these also are designed to target personal or financial information. The Microsoft Scam consists of a cold-call from a person claiming to represent a well-known brand, such as Microsoft, advising the victim that they have detected a computer problem, infection or virus on their computer. The scam revolves around getting

remote access to the victim’s computer in order to demonstrate where the problems are and convince the victim to pay a fee for a service that will fix the computer despite the fact that there is probably nothing really wrong with it. In the process, credit card information is compromised as well as the computer, which is a potential fountain of information. Scareware or Ransomware is a pop-up message stating that your computer has been frozen or will be frozen unless you

pay. The message is designed to create shock and anxiety so that you will respond by sending money quickly. Your computer will not be unlocked if you pay the money and you will never get your money back. If you receive an unexpected Interac e-Transfer or there is something not quite right about the message, it is probably a scam and clicking the link could compromise your personal or financial information. For more information on phishing,

frauds and scams, and how to report them, please go to the Canadian Anti-

Fraud Centre website at www.antifraudc e n t re - c e n t re a n t i fraude.ca.

MLA:

It looks like we have turned the corner into Spring. While not everyone is a total sun fanatic, we all enjoy the Okanagan for what it has become famous for. After what seemed like a long winter everyone is looking forward to being outside. No matter what outdoor activity you enjoy, the spring season is time when everyone should take extra precautions when driving or traveling. Please be extra careful on the busy roads this spring. Arriving safely is far more important than getting there quickly. If you are going to enjoy more spirited beverages this spring, please take advantage of Designated Drivers and Taxis. Statistics very clearly show that there is an increase in Drinking and Driving the closer we get to the Summer season. Let's see a reversal of that trend. We will all be better off for it.

EDITORIAL

our pick

Energy research An agreement between the municipality and ElectroMotion Energy Corporation may help to reduce energy consumption. Under the agreement, which was signed on Monday evening, up to 10 additional homes in Summerland will be served by individual power supply units. ElectroMotion’s Revolution unit improves energy efficiency by combining household heating, cooling, hot water and electrical backup systems into a single unit. The surplus energy can then be fed back into the electrical grid. The data collected from the new agreement will help developers to see how well the unit can function. The efficiency of the unit will have an appeal to homeowners. As electricity costs continue to increase, any efforts to reduce power consumption deserve careful consideration. By increasing efficiency, less power is needed for the same amount of energy consumption. Incorporating other conservation techniques in addition to using the new technology in the Revolution until will result in further savings. For the community, it also makes sense to reduce the amount of energy required. Summerland purchases its electrical energy from FortisBC and then sells the power to residential and business customers. If the community requires less power, its costs will go down. Since the first Revolution unit was installed in Summerland in 2011, there has been growing interest in the technology, locally and from other parts of the country. The interest will continue, but reliable data is needed before the technology is embraced.

A donation from a Summerland service club has helped to bring hearing enhancement equipment into schools. The donation from the Summerland Quest Society has enabled the school district to purchase a transmitting device and an assessment tool. Both will help those with hearing and speech impairments. Over the years, the society has provided thousands of dollars to benefit those who have speech and hearing challenges.

NDP’s survival on the line VICTORIA – The B.C. NDP leadership contest is officially underway, with the entry of Vancouver Island veteran John Horgan in a reluctant reprise of his 2011 run against Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth. Unfortunately for them, weekend campaign events were overshadowed by revelations of flagrant abuse of taxpayers’ money Tom Fletcher by the executive and board of the Portland Hotel Society. A pair of audits finally released last week on this network of Downtown Eastside social agencies revealed systematic looting of the $28 million a year in taxpayers’ money that has kept this supposed charity running. Alas for the NDP, local MLA Jenny Kwan not only failed to keep an eye on it, her recently separated husband was one of the executives who took part for years, and she benefited to the tune of $35,000 in luxury travel. That’s what we know about, since much of the evidence wasn’t produced for the auditors. When this Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous scheme finally came to light, Kwan hastily paid back the $35,000 and announced she’s taking an unpaid leave of absence. Her tearful claim that she believed nothing was wrong

is simply not credible. She not only must have known of her husband Dan Small’s jet-set ways, she participated in at least two trips, one to Vienna and Bristol, England to do “research” and attend a poverty conference from highend hotels. If it wants to retain any shred of credibility as it spouts misleading poverty statistics and simplistic solutions, the party must get rid of Kwan, who has two years left to max out her MLA pension. MLA pensions were a factor in the 2010 ouster of Carol James, who infuriated the old guard by trying to defuse a public backlash against a generous pay and benefits package worked out in private between the NDP and the B.C. Liberals. Kwan would later take a leading role in the caucus revolt that forced James out as leader. Long-time political watchers will see the PHS abuse as a bigger, uglier version of the Nanaimo Commonwealth Holdings Society scandal. There the siphoning off of bingo funds from charities cost Mike Harcourt his job as premier. In that case, NDP MLAs sat on the board, took their monthly cut and kept quiet. There’s more. Horgan became enraged last year at the reporter who took a tip from the B.C. Liberals to reveal the NDP was skimming constituency office budgets to pay for its own “ethnic outreach” operation in Vancouver.

Horgan had rubber-stamped the plan with a since-dismissed legislature accountant, and thought he had kept it secret after the Auditor-General blew the whistle. His willingness to assess its ethics remains in question to this day. Then there is Craig Keating, who took over as party president from Moe Sihota last year. Did he inherit the $72,000 salary negotiated by Sihota with the B.C. Federation of Labour and two of its largest unions? If so, do Horgan and Farnworth think this is appropriate? Will the party’s joined-atthe-hip relationship with government unions even be discussed in the carefully staged leadership contest that’s about to begin? Then there’s the policy shipwreck left behind by Adrian Dix. His plan to use environmental assessment as a weapon to torpedo industrial projects remains popular with the party’s urban base. Farnworth and Horgan have paid lip service to the notion that projects like the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion should be properly assessed. Meanwhile the federal NDP fights to keep stacking public hearings with pre-selected protesters. The party may wish to consider what would give its next B.C. leader any hope of governing. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press newspapers.

bad apples Scam attempts are nothing new and the latest ploys are repeats of scams from previous years. Inheritance schemes, phony tax calls and attempts to access personal computers have worked in the past and will continue to work in the future. For this reason, it is important to raise awareness about such scams and to use extra caution when presented with offers of easy money or with urgent warnings about online security.

Much is understood about land swap Dear Editor: The roots of agriculture run deep in our community. In fact, residents of Summerland have come together to celebrate our fall harvest (Summerland Fall Fair) for over a century. Farms, orchards, vineyards, and rustic rural roads dominate our landscape, and are integral to our identity and overall quality of life. I’m inspired by Erin Carlson and countless others for their passionate pursuit of

protecting our prized farmland. Thank you for respecting the reservation placed on Agricultural Land Reserve land. Thank you for providing our council and the Agricultural Land Commission with a truly compelling list of our collective concerns. Most importantly, thank you for your fact-based, values-led leadership at a time when Summerland needs it most. Farmland is often sacrificed for growth/ development. It

doesn’t have to be this way. Integrating prime farmland into our community growth/development plan is a much better alternative. In March, 2012, I confirmed the launch of our business in Summerland, stating in a press release “we are excited to be joining a community that is passionate about protecting and nurturing its rich agricultural roots.” Why was that important? We make every

effort to source grain and other ingredients from farms as close to our bakery as possible, which in turn maximizes the overall benefit to our community. Not only are we supporting our local farming infrastructure, we are creating jobs, paying taxes, sponsoring local teams and events, and helping to revitalize our downtown core. Integration of local farming into our businesses and into our homes

is the solution, not its removal. Council’s current plan would result in the removal of prime farmland from our community. The proposed swap is simply not land of equal quality. Last night, I left my downtown dwelling for a jog passing picture perfect vineyards, orchards, and farms with sheep, goats, chickens, cows, donkeys, and horses. I couldn’t help but think to myself “farming isn’t just

what we do. It’s who we are.” I firmly believe we are perfectly positioned to leverage our agricultural roots in refreshingly relevant ways, benefitting our local economy, and our overall quality of life. However, it’s not my personal observation that’s important, rather our collective thought process. “What is the essence of Summerland? What do you want Summerland to become?”

It’s critical our community identity remains centre-stage in any growth discussion. The outpouring of specific, fact-based resistance to council’s desire to build residential housing on prime ALR land suggests to me we’re headed in the wrong direction. That’s not to say we can’t course correct. Thanks to everyone for contributing to the conversation. In passion lies success. Todd Laidlaw Summerland

THE EARLY YEARS

I’ll take the high road

Photo courtesy of the Summerland Museum

It must be spring; the street sweepers are out and the pot holes are in full bloom. In the early 1900s, pot holes were more likely to be mud puddles that could swallow a car. The lakeside highway from Summerland to Peachland (shown here) was one of the most difficult to maintain and it was often impassable due to slides, flooding or huge mud holes. In 1921 the Summerland Automobile and Good Roads Association passed a resolution favouring a higher route and work began on the upper road, an old wagon trail to Peachland, well away from the pot holes created by the waves of Okanagan Lake. It proved to be a good decision.

Arts centre needs a home

Dear Editor: Finally a new library is in the making. Nice to see that in this age of computers and technology, libraries are still important. However, it appears that this new building has put our arts centre and gallery in an appalling situation. This very vibrant part of our community has lost its home — deed done without any communication between the involved parties. It is all very well to say that these facilities will be relocated in the old library building but this move will be over a

year away and this building is included in the land parcel up for sale, making possible relocation an issue once again. Our arts centre and gallery has a very dedicated and hard working group of people behind it, working to promote the arts and culture of Summerland. Perhaps we have all forgotten or don’t realize how much this organization gives to our community. Here is a sampling: Great street banners every year, quality gift shop, children’s programs, Art Walk, gallery shows of competent and gifted artists, winter workshops, venue for Phil-

osophers’ Cafe, space for various art groups to gather and Season’s Sparkles, artist in residence program and the accumulation of a permanent collection which is so important to defining and preserving Summerland’s long and interesting art and cultural heritage. How can we leave an organization that does so much for us without a suitable and appropriate venue? As I understand, there are two temporary sites being considered. One is not large enough for all the centre’s activities and too costly to rent for just gallery space and the other has

slightly more space but needs money spent to make it workable for all concerned. It is clear that the municipal council and the community of Summerland needs to address this problem immediately and find a solution. Once the temporary problem has been solved, our arts centre and all that it entails needs to have a permanent home, not one that can be sold out from underneath them. Perhaps the coun-

cil has such a plan in place and is not making the arts centre or the community aware of it. This letter is not intended to lessen the enthusiasm for our new library but rather to raise concern for the ensuing issues that the arts centre now faces. Please show your support for the arts centre and gallery by making council aware of your concern. Maryan Dennison Summerland

Okanagan must ensure food security Dear Editor: I believe our proposed growth strategy is predicated on the assumption that when one goes to a food store, there will be food on the shelves. I feel a more prudent strategy would assume that the Okanagan Valley must be capable of being self reliant, with regard to

its food supply. Therefore it follows that we should not, under any circumstance, consider removing any land from the Agricultural Land Reserve and perhaps even consider adding to the ALR, those lands being considered for a swap. George Brake Summerland

Public was excluded from hearing Dear Editor: Oh Summerland! Where do we go from here? I wish to make the record clear with regard to the adjournment of the public hearing dealing with the removal of some 200 acres of prime agricultural land from the Agricultural Land Reserve in our community. I arrived about 15 minutes prior to the commence-

ment time of the hearing held on March 3. At that time there were 50 to 60 people locked out of the building (and it was cold.) I was allowed in on the understanding that I would seek to have the hearing postponed to another day in a larger facility. Upon entering I went directly to Mayor Janice Perrino and advised her that the hearing

had to be adjourned in view of the fact of the number of persons excluded. I was advised by her that pen and paper had been left outside so people could write their views. I advised her that did not satisfy the legislation governing public hearing and that if the meeting proceeded there could be legal consequences. As reported on local TV my

words fell on deaf ears. At the next meeting Mayor Perrino had obviously been told she had made a big mistake. She purportedly adjourned the hearing so a second hearing could be held. Unfortunately, it appears that the proceeding on March 3 are null and void. In simple terms this means that the 400 or so citizens who showed up and the 50 or so

who spoke may have wasted their time. The mayor also announced at that meeting that there would be a town hall meeting so that those whom have not seen the wisdom of removing this precious land from the ALR can be educated. Kind of makes you wonder who’s not listening. Brian Adams Summerland

Proposal includes sale of public land Dear Editor: I wish to comment on Summerland’s latest library plans. In the year 2001, museum and library

groups were in agreement with the Meiklejohn concept. This proposal used the existing library and museum build-

ings, joining them and creating a cultural centre. The design met all of the requirements of both groups. With existing fund-

ing and eight potential grants, more than two-thirds of the total funding for the project was available at that time. The design was such that the building could be completed in phases as we could afford it. Then municipal staff entered the discussions. According to staff, Summerland could not afford the proposal and had a better concept. After five years of

waiting, their “better concept” was to sell off the Wharton Street lands to fund these buildings. At the time, I challenged municipal staff to provide an example of another community which had sold off municipal land at the very centre of their community. Still can’t find one. Today, this latest proposal still includes selling off the Wharton Street lands plus

selling our art gallery land and building. The selling price of the art gallery land is less than half of what we paid for the RCMP building lands. And the taxpayer gets to pay the monthly rent for one of the vacant stores on Main Street to house the numerous art gallery groups. After 13 years of waiting, this is staff’s “better concept?” Summerland began

acquiring these downtown lands in 1948 in preparation for the 50th anniversary of Summerland in 1956. Now we are selling these lands cheap. Municipal staff’s ability to predict our future and determine that these lands are surplus and will never be required by our community is quite remarkable. David E. Gregory Summerland

Chamber clarifies budget items Dear Editor: Thank you for your coverage of the Summerland Chamber’s Annual General Meeting in the March 20 edition of the Review. As you mentioned, our budget forecast in 2014 is similar to the past few years. As presented in our strategic plan at the AGM, this allows us to work in three key areas for Summerland: tourism, member benefits, and business retention and attraction. Our grant funding, various program funds and our fees

for services from the District of Summerland allow us to provide a variety of annual programs in each area as well as certain special projects each year. Our full strategic plan is available on our website and I’d encourage the community to take a look at it. I would like to clarify two items that appeared in the budget article on March 20. First, there were a couple of significant tourism expenses totalling $18,600 that were expected in 2013. These expenditures

instead took place early this year. The funds unspent last year have been moved to 2014 and account for this year’s projected shortfall. Second, these expenses relate to the new tourism website and appear in the category of office expenses, which is why this category was under spent in 2013 and contributes to the increase in this category in 2014.

Problems with B.C. Parks Act Dear Editor: Re: Proposed changes to the B.C. Parks Act. There are many problems with the unnecessary Bill 4 now in the B.C. Legislature, including vague wording. 1. Given that there has been no consultation before the introduction of the bill. 2. Given that vague wording is subject to abuse. 3. Given that B.C. Parks have been seriously understaffed and underfunded by the B.C. Liberals for several years. 4. Given that a B.C. Liberal recently remarked that,

“Parks are an economic wasteland.” 5. Given that properly funded and maintained parks become profitable tourist destinations. 6. Given that Minister Mary Polak is charged with the responsibility for the conservation, maintenance and protection of parks, the proposed changes make no sense and are perplexing to say the least. Each B.C. park was created for special

reasons to protect a particular forest or a series of lakes or an animal, bird or plant habitat, so each park is special and sometimes contains unique life of landscape. The natural area of a park is also a wonderful outdoor laboratory because the area is free from unwanted activity or is secure with the recreational use, scientists have a base upon which to check their work. This can be of utmost importance.

People need to think of the much used slogan, “super natural B.C.,” consider all the enjoyment and interest there is in B.C. parks and contact their MLA, Premier Christy Clark and Minister Mary Polak. Consultation and clear statements are the least we expect. After all, B.C. parks are the property of the people of B.C. They are our parks. Sheila White Summerland

Chamber speaks for business community Recently the Summerland Chamber of Commerce held its Annual General Meeting. Like many nonprofit organizations, our members don’t turn out in droves for this event. They miss great food and door prizes but more importantly they miss seeing what the chamber accomplished on their behalf in the past year, where the budget was spent and what is planned for the coming year. They also miss the opportunity to meet their new board of directors. The board’s role is important as the Summerland Chamber is the third largest Chamber in the Okanagan after Kelowna and Kamloops and among the 25 largest chambers in B.C. As well we are the largest membership organization in Summerland with more than 750 business, corporate and associate members. As I shared at the AGM, the chamber’s

role in any community is to represent the interests of the business community and to advocate on their behalf. We do that on a national level through the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, provincially through the B.C. Chamber network and here in our own community at the municipal level. Through the nomination process outlined in our bylaws and communicated to members annually, voting members elect a board of directors charged with setting policy for the chamber. Here in Summerland the chamber has done this for more than 75 years. Much of the time, this process and the ramifications go unnoticed by members. Occasionally though, the chamber board must take a stand on a particular issue and, as the elected board, must speak out on matters that pertain to business growth and

improvement. Again, it is our bylaws that dictate that only the president of the chamber (or their designate) is authorized to make the chamber’s position on such issues publicly known. This occurred at the recent public meeting regarding the District of Summerland’s proposed by-law amendments to the Official Community Plan. At that time, I spoke from my personal perspective as a downtown business owner and also as the president of the chamber elected to represent the interests of the business community. We have communicated our support for the district’s proposal, and continue to support it, as it balances a number of important community priorities and is a reasonable and forward-looking solution for ensuring land is available in the coming decades for community growth. The full text of our

position was published in this column in February and also posted as a blog on the chamber website. In the past weeks, we have received communications from approximately three per cent of local business license holders who communicated to us that they did not agree with the chamber’s position on this issue. We very much appreciate their efforts in writing and we acknowledge their position. The chamber board cannot know the wishes of all of our individual members, but as elected by them, must speak to the needs of the business community as it applies to our long term growth and vibrancy. The board understands that the current delay in the process will allow time to accommodate everyone who wishes to speak to the issue at a public forum. This is commendable and we urge all members of the com-

Legion bequest

President Mike Brazeau of Summerland Legion #22 accepts a $24,640.80 cheque from past president Barry Newcombe as VP Donna Rutherford looks on. The cheque is a bequest from the estate of Arthur “Mac” McCurdock, a long-time Summerland Legion member. He served with the British forces during World War II as a member of the elite SAS. The funds will be used by the Legion to remodel the kitchen, which will be named “Mac’s Kitchen” in his memory. The presentation took place during the branch’s general meeting March 19.

Lecture will examine Priest Camp

The Village Lecture Series continues in April with the topic, Priest Camp Historic Park. The Summerland Museum and the Historical Society will host the presentation. Priest Camp Historic Park was officially opened in February 1998 by B.C.

Historian Harley Hatfield. The park is located at the south end of Garnett Lake and comprises of 50 acres of land. The settlement of Priest was the first non-native settlement in the Okanagan Valley, 15 years before Pandosy’s Mission in

Kelowna. It was founded in 1845 by Giovanni Nobili and it was also the first settlement in British Columbia that was not fortified. This site was used during the fur trade. In 1848 the settlement was abandoned during the California Gold Rush.

It regained its importance in 1858 during British Columbia’s Cariboo Gold Rush. This presentation takes place on Thursday, April 3 at 6:45 p.m. at Summerland Senior’s Village (Sagebrush Theatre.) There is no cost and all are welcome.

CHAMBER CORNER

Arlene Fenrich munity to attend the upcoming public

meetings to discuss this important issue. However, we also believe that delays of this kind send mixed messages about Summerland’s support for growth to the wider business community, to the agri-businesses that are interested in relocating in the proposed areas and to our citizens. We encourage mayor and council to remain committed and to proceed with

their progressive agenda of building our community. We always appreciate your feedback. Please contact me at president@summerlandchamber.com or Christine Petkau at manager@summerlandchamber.com. Arlene Fenrich is president of the Summerland Chamber of Commerce. All of the members of the board of directors serve as volunteers.

Mission provides training in trades by Carla McLeod Special to the Review

Having just returned home from his annual stay in Mozambique, Rick Cogbill is once again experiencing a bit of a culture shock. Cogbill is the founder of Mercy Tech Mission, a Canadian charity that takes teams of professionals to developing countries, to assist with building projects, while at the same time, training local workers. Their mandate is to teach. A key project over the last three years has been the construction of an automotive shop, built on a farm, owned and operated by SAM Ministries. “It’s just about finished. We were just doing some final work on it this trip,” said Cogbill. Also over this same three year period, Mercy Tech has been mentoring and training a young man named, Prosper Fernando, who had asked Cogbill if he

would train him to be a mechanic. He was very eager to learn the trade. “After a couple of our training trips, he went to a small trade school and graduated third in his class. We’ve been able to sponsor Prosper now, by hiring him as the shop manager and we are paying his wages for the first year to try and get the shop up and running so it can be selfsustaining.” Cogbill went on to explain that as Fernando becomes established in business, they want him to then train other young men in the village how to do basic mechanics. Mozambique is a very poor country that has been devastated by civil war and is just now starting to see economic growth. It is a place where eighty per cent of the population live in rural areas, in mud huts. They eat a maize meal, porridge made of ground up corn, three times a day. It’s a place where children die of simple diseases and from

and understand that even though you’re not changing everything, you are changing something. That’s what I have to remind myself,” Cogbill said. “I’m not changing the whole village but in essence eventually I will be, because this family will change and then

their children will change and that will affect the next neighbour and eventually in a number of years the village is different, because there is somebody in there who has an education, who has a trade, who has an income. As we say at Mercy Tech, changing lives

one skill at a time.” Cogbill also explained that the whole experience is a life changing event. “We say to our volunteers, once you go you’ll be ruined for life.” Some say their hearts will be in Africa forever more. After spending

six weeks in a third world country, it is being back in a first world country that is the biggest culture shock for Cogbill. “Coming back home and walking in my front door, it hits me every time just how much we have,” he said. Mercy Tech is looking to grow. Funds come from individuals, churches and businesses. A national advertising campaign is being planned. “My hope is that industry, especially the trades begin to get behind it, because sponsoring an apprentice half way around the world is something I think they could do,” Cogbill stated. He plans to go back again next spring for sure. He says it is like a “big home reunion,” when they return. “Part of what keeps us going is the people. They are just so receptive and appreciative.” He also encourages anyone who can, to become involved. To learn more and to see photos of the work being done, go to mercytechmission. com.

Quest funds purchase of hearing equipment Students who need hearing and speech enhancement will benefit from a recent donation from the Summerland Quest Society to the Okanagan Skaha School District. The $1,000 cheque was presented for the purchase of two items. One is a device to

be used by a classroom teacher to have lessons transmitted directly to students’ hearing aids. The second is an assessment tool to aid in obtaining information about a hard of hearing student’s grasp of the English language. The Summerland Quest Society

is a women’s service organization dedicated to raising money to improve the lives of those with hearing and speech impairment and to aid youth in the reduction of hearing loss. From 1997 to 2013, the society has raised more than $121,000 to benefit Summerland adults and chil-

dren with speech and hearing challenges. The society will hold its ninth Summerland Garden Tour on Saturday June 28. Its second annual bridge tournament will be held on Sept. 20. In addition, the society will work with Speech and Hearing Awareness Month in May.

Discover the appeal of exploring restored scenic heritage trails in a presentation by historic trails specialist Kelley Cook on Friday, April 4, in Summerland. Heritage Trails of the Northern Cascades: History Through the Soles of Your Feet is sponsored by the Okanagan Similkameen Parks Society and follows the society’s 49th annual general

meeting at 7 p.m. Cook, a recreation consultant and Princeton resident, is largely responsible for co-ordinating resources to restore 43 kilometres between Manning Park and Princeton along the famous Dewdney Trail constructed across B.C. in 1861, and the 53-kilometre section of the 1849 Hudson’s Bay Brigade Trail between Hope and Tulameen. Thanks to Cook’s

accomplishments and collaboration with groups such as the Hope Mountain Centre, today’s walkers and hikers can step back in time along historic routes to enjoy new and upgraded campsites, improved trails and informative signs by mountains, meadows and lakes. In 2013 she received the Queen’s Jubilee award for National Trails Coali-

tion work. The Parks Society has supported the protection and restoration of these trails since the 1970s. The meeting and presentation will be held in the Centre Stage Theatre. Admission is free; donations are welcome. For more information call 250-4948343 or visit okanagansimilkameenparkssociety.ca.

COUNCIL REPORT The regular meeting of municipal council was held March 24 in council chambers. All members of council except Coun. Bruce Hallquist were present.

Mosquito control approved

Council gave its approval to an extended service amendment for mosquito control. The bylaw came from the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen.

Development permit issued

Council approved a development permit for Zias Stonehouse Restaurant. The development variance permit is for a kitchen addition at the rear of the building, with an estimated value of $150,000.

OCP information received

Council received information for the municipality’s Official Community Plan amendment bylaw. The information is required to comply with the statutory requirements of Section 882 of the Local Government Act. The act requires local governments to consider Official Community Plans in conjunction with the municipality’s financial plan and any applicable waste management plan. A report from Ian McIntosh, director of development services for the municipality, states the bylaw amendment has no implications for the financial plan or the municipality’s waste management plan. Coun. Peter Waterman voted against the resolution. Coun. Lloyd Christopherson, who owns land in the area affected, was absent from the discussion and vote.

Art opening

The opening reception for Our Permanent Collection: One Piece At A Time was held at the Summerland Art Gallery last Thursday evening. The Arts Council, through donations and purchases, now has a small but very valuable permanent collection that reflects their mandate to identify, collect and display works of art which are of artistic, historical and local value. Bruce Crawford is pictured here beside his acrylic on paper piece entitled “Fir on the Rocks,” which he so generously has donated. It is the hope of the Arts Council, that the public will be able to view their permanent collection annually.

Thursday, March 27, 2014 Summerland Review

Getting up and active with PAL Spring is the perfect time to turn over a new leaf and start getting active. Introducing regular physical activity into your life is an important first step towards better health, a happier mindset, and more. The whole family will benefit from increased activity and getting on the road to a healthier lifestyle. There are so many known benefits to physical activity and an active lifestyle. Among them are a reduced risk of heart disease, premature death and stroke. Being active has also been proven to help improve self-esteem and confidence, help you sleep better, increase your energy and reduce depression, among many other things. Furthermore, it helps maintain functional independence, mobility, and bone health. For many of us, it can be quite daunting to take that first step towards an active lifestyle. And it can be more challenging to start something new without any help. The good news is residents of BC have access to a free physical activity counselling service called the Physical Activity Line (PAL). Through a phone call or online, qualified exercise professionals are available to provide exercise and physical activity advice and help you develop a customized physical activity plan for every member of the family, from children to older adults. When it comes to physical activity, more is better. To achieve the health benefits, it is important to try and progress towards the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines, which recommend at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day for children and youth and 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity activity each week for adults. Adults and older adults should also add muscle- and bone-

strengthening activities that work the major muscle groups at least twice a week to help with balance and prevent falls for those with mobility impairments. Physical activity doesn’t have to mean playing a sport or going to the gym. Playing a family game of tag, going for a swim or taking a walk outside with the family pet or to the store to get groceries count towards the physical activity recommendations. Try out something new; you may find your new favourite activity! In any case, you’re bound to have some fun and feel like a happier and healthier you. The Physical Activity Line is available Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m in the Lower Mainland, toll-free at 1-877-725-1149. For more information, visit www.physicalactivityline.com or email info@physicalactivity.com.

Other physical activity resources include ParticipACTION (www.participACTION.com) and Healthy Families BC (www.healthyfamiliesbc.ca).

Grant given to youth organization by Kristi Patton Black Press A $50,000 grant received by the Summerland Asset Development Initiative will help them continue to provide youth with opportunities to get involved with the community. The provincial government gaming grant is about one-third of their operating budget, said Alyson Lindsay, administrative coordinator at SADI. She said the funding will cover their utilities and staff wages so they can operate the programs to support Summerland youth and families. “This is vital to the operation of SADI,” said Lindsay. “It is a huge chunk of money for us. We actually got a little bit more this year thankfully because with a lot of our grants we lost some funding. We really struggle to keep the doors open so every little bit extra helps.” SADI runs under the mission statement that all youth benefit from opportunities

Funding for youth work

The Summerland Asset Development Initiative received $50,000 to assist them as they provide services to youth within the community. From left are SADI board chair Anke Smit, youth activities coordinator Eric Scramstad, administrative coordinator Alyson Lindsay and MLA Dan Ashton.

to develop their positive qualities and a deeper connection to their community while building their

inner capacity to make good choices, become healthy individuals, adapt easily to change and reach

their full potential. Lindsay said that is why it is important that the programs are youth run initiatives.

It allows the members to stay involved with the planning of activities that are relevant to them.

Parenting program presented by Carla McLeod Special to the Review

The St. John’s Lutheran Church is sponsoring a six-session parenting program called Parenting the Love and Logic Way, with facilitator Sharon Otke. Some of the skills those enrolled will learn are, how to avoid power struggles and arguments, how to stay calm when their kids do incredibly upsetting things and how to help children learn from mistakes rather than repeating them.

Although the program is being held at the church, “it is not distinctively Christian,” said Marj Plitt. “It is our gift to the community. The people who took the course last year were so keen, saying every parent should have this course,” she added. One such participant from last year was Shannon Corps. “It’s a fantastic program. I loved it. Being a good parent is important to me. What I found so good about this program was the classroom

format. There was lots of interaction between people that was really helpful and supportive. It also wasn’t hard to implement the whole approach but very easy to do, very practical and very sensible,” she said. Corps went on to explain about what she learned from the program. “The number one thing I learned was how easy it is to calmly parent when you’re using the approach that they teach and the results were immediate. It

worked really well with my daughter. She also respected that I was working to be a better parent. I think she felt how important she was and how important our relationship was. If you can parent without anger, then your relationship improves with your kids. That is a wonderful bonus.” The program also promises to help the children learn as well. “That’s really what the whole program does. It helps them to be responsible for their deci-

sions when they do mess up and be able to fix things and to make amends,” said Corps. The course is something that Corps thinks all parents could benefit from and wishes it was something that was taught in school. “I think if every parent could do this, things would be a lot better because parenting is hard and we don’t get a manual,” she concluded. For more information or to register call 250-494-9309.

“In the last year our enrolment has been steadily increasing and we have been trying to take a new

approach and be more activities based. This way there is not so much idle time. The kids definitely do need that free time to be with their friends and hang out, but we need to balance it out more with active play and organized activities,” said Lindsay. As part of their involvement with SADI, youth must agree, as part of their membership, to complete a certain number of community based activities. This community involvment can include volunteering at festivals or can be at the legion helping them cook or on specialty nights. “They are part of this community. We like to keep the kids involved because it is a free membership and it encourages them to give back,” said Lindsay. SADI is a recognized charity that receives most of their funding from grants and service organizations. They also receive individual donations from community members who are then eligible to receive a tax receipt.

POLICE REPORT Vehicle crashes

On March 8 at 1:50 p.m., police were called following a single vehicle accident on Highway 97 at Callan Road. A Subaru, travelling south and driven by a 79-year-old Summerland man, collided with a post. Police believe the driver may have fallen asleep at the wheel. The driver received minor injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment. There was extensive damage to the vehicle.

Prohibition issued

On March 9 at 12:27 a.m., police received a report of a possible impaired motorist on Highway 97.

Events scheduled to mark Earth Week by Carla McLeod Special to the Review

Cadet tour

Once again this year, Summerland will be celebrating Earth Day, with a whole week of free events. Earth Week 2014 is April 22 to 27. “Summerland will be buzzing with earth day events this year. The coolest thing is the fact that opening day is actually Earth Day. We will be opening with a bang,” said biologist Lisa Scott. Week-long events include the Geocaching Earth Day Challenge and a book display featuring a variety of green themes at the Summerland Library. The morning of April 22, Scott will be at the Trout Creek School, where all of the students will be participating in special activities revolving around National Earth Day. During the noon hour she will be visiting the Summerland Middle School. Other events happening that day include a Walking Tour with David Gregory of historic Lower Town, a presentation on Low Water Lawn Care at

the Superintendent’s House, Summerland Ornamental Gardens and a Family Movie Night being held at Centre Stage Theatre. Featured will be the child-friendly movie,”Epic” and a full length film by Rob Stewart, entitled “Revolution” in which humans are inspired to change the world and save our planet. Thursday, April 24, the Philosopher’s Cafe will be held at the IOOF Hall, and will feature an illustrated talk by local ecologist and writer Don Gayton, followed by a discussion on the ecological restoration movement. A recycling bin for electronics will be set up outside Municipal Hall on Friday, April 25. Come the weekend things really ramp up with a Square Foot Gardening Workshop being held at Grasslands Nursery on Saturday morning and The Secret Lives of Composting presentation in the afternoon at the Summerland Ornamental Gardens. The Summerland Library is holding Square Inch Gardening and Stories to

Grow On, where kids will plant a square inch salad garden that they can take home with them and the Art Gallery is hosting an Imagination Station. To wrap up the weeks activities, people have a chance to get their hands dirty by helping to remove invasive species and plant Native trees and shrubs along the creek and pathway at Dale Meadows Sports

Summerland Review Thursday, March 27, 2014

The BC Government is now off-loading our recycling decisions to Toronto.

Under its new regulations, the BC Government has set up an association led by big corporations to take over the local Blue Box recycling program throughout BC. If you look closely, you’ll see that of seven board members, six are executives of Toronto-based multi-national corporations, with the seventh weighing in from Montreal. How do you like that, British Columbia? This means, unlike the current program run locally by BC municipalities, this new program will be managed not by people whose first responsibility is our local environment, but rather, their Bay St. profits. That can’t be a good thing for BC. The most perplexing thing is that we currently have a Blue Box program that works, is efficient, and costs BC homeowners just

$35 a year on average. The new proposed system does not guarantee to keep our local environment as its first priority, nor does it guarantee that there won’t be job losses here in BC. It doesn’t guarantee service levels, or say anything about how big business will pass along the costs to you when you go to pick up a pizza or buy groceries. Yikes! Perhaps this is why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to sign onto the new program, calling it a “scam.” Given that, maybe it’s time you called Premier Clark to keep BC’s environmental decisions right here in BC where they belong.

What’s going on here?
