Horse rescued from creek Volunteers and firefighters worked to rescue a wild horse from Trout Creek on Sunday morning. Theresa Nolet of OATS Horse Rescue said the feral horse was noticed in the creek near Highway 97 around 8:30 a.m., by a woman who was out walking her dogs.

She called OATS for assistance. Summerland firefighters also attended and assisted with the rescue. When Nolet arrived at the scene, she said the filly had fallen on its side in the cold water. Volunteers and firefighters tried to get the

filly on its feet, but the horse later fell. After a second effort, volunteers brought plywood and other building materials to set up a makeshift ramp for the horse. The incline was steep and the terrain was challenging, Nolet said. “It required quite a few

people to drag that filly up the plywood incline,” she said. The rescue work took around 90 minutes. By the time the horse was out of the water, it was exhausted, Nolet said. A veterinarian has since treated the horse for superficial cuts and

scrapes from its ordeal in the creek. Nolet said the rescue would not have been possible without the plywood and without the help of the volunteers. The horse, named River, is being fostered at present and will be available for adoption.

Adding fish

Ryan Varchol, Agur Lake Camp Society’s summer student, assists with the release of 1,000 trout into Agur Lake. The trout were raised at the Summerland Trout Hatchery and were trucked to the lake last week.

Agur Lake stocked with fish by John Arendt

Around 1,000 rainbow trout were given a new home in Agur Lake on Friday. The Agur Lake Trout Release is part of the annual Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. spring stocking pro-

gram. The trout were raised at the Summerland Trout Hatchery and were trucked to the lake. Kyle Girgan, manager of the hatchery, said the fish are sterilized females. Because they are sterilized, they will not alter

the genetic makeup of the wild fish in the area. The females will live longer and grow larger than the males of the species. Each year, numerous B.C. lakes are stocked with fish. “The kids can show up, catch a fish, take it home

and eat it that night,” said Girgan said. The camp, west of Summerland, was opened to campers for the first time last year. Agur Lake Camp was created to meet the needs of disabled campers. Mirjana Komljenovic, office manager for the

camp society, said campers will be able to fish while they are at the camp. Another 200 fish will be added to the lake on May 31, near the camp dock. This release coincides with the camp’s Learn to Fish Day on May 31.

Food Bank marks 30th anniversary by Carla McLeod Special to the Review

held at the Summerland United Church Hall on Saturday, in order to honour all those who have been involved over the years. “It is because of the vision, the energy, the willingness and the grace to respond to the fundamental needs of their neighbours for 30 years that we celebrate today,” said Sharon O’Shaughnessy as she addressed the room full of volunteers. O’Shaughnessy’s

“Food Bank: Don’t go hungry. We care. We have an emergency food supply.” This ad appeared in the Summerland Bulletin in March of 1984. By the end of that month seven requests had been received and seven hampers had been delivered. Thus began the Summerland Food Bank. A 30-year anniversary tea was

parents were the founding members of the organization. She presented a slide show featuring the history of the Food Bank. She also shared entries from her mother’s journals and minutes from 25 years of Food Bank meetings. Included in the celebration were several presentations. Roch Fortin presented a cheque to John Bubb, from the Summerland Rotary Club, in the amount of $10,000. The

money will be used to help build a handicap accessible washroom with showers and a laundry room for the Resource Centre, which is an extension of the Food Bank. Bubb was also presented with $245.75 from nine-year-old Fawn Hollas. She heard about the need for the washroom, so started a fundraising campaign at her school, called Stuffies for Showers. Children donated their stuffed toys and they were then resold for a

small price. Several students also from Ms. Thorpe’s class at the Trout Creek School made a banner for the anniversary celebration. Bubb thanked the District of Summerland, Mayor and Council as well as the Rotary Club, the Summerland United Church, The Summerland I.G.A and The Summerland Singers and Players. He also thanked the event committee for putting on the tea,

the United Church Women’s group for providing the refreshments and baker Mike Monaghan for donating the cakes. Most importantly he thanked all the volunteers in attendance, saying, “This event today is to offer our sincere,

heartfelt thanks for your dedication over the 30 years that our food bank has operated.” The Summerland Food Bank has the ability to receive financial donations in many forms, including secure online donations.

Denesiuk to seek federal Liberal role by John Arendt

Former school trustee Connie Denesiuk will seek the nomination as the Liberal candidate in the new South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding. The newly created riding includes Penticton and communities in the South Okanagan, but not Summerland, where Denesiuk lives. A former federal Conservative, Denesiuk said she believes the Conservative party has strayed from its roots. She was concerned after a 400-page omnibus bill was

passed by Prime Minister’s majority Conservative government. Because of its size, it did not allow for enough debate and discussion on items within the bill. The robocall scandal following the last federal election has also disturbed Denesiuk. “I was outraged that people were sent to the wrong riding to vote,” she said. Bill 23, the Fair Elections Act, also has Denesiuk concerned. “The Fair Elections Act is anything but fair,” she said. “I believe that all Canadians should have a fair and demo-

cratic vote, in a process that is absent of advantages for any political party.” In past federal elections, South Okanagan voters have traditionally elected Conservative candidates, but Denesiuk said the outcome of the vote in the new riding is up to the voters. “This is a chance for people to take a serious look at who they want to represent them.” she said. Denesiuk said the economy of the region, with an eight per cent unemployment rate, is a priority.

Environmental stewardship and financial accountability are also important to her as a candidate. Denesiuk was a school trustee with the Summerland School Board Connie and later with the Denesiuk Okanagan Skaha School Board. She served as board chair for nine of those 19 years and was president of the B.C. School Trustees’ Association and a director of the Canadian School

Board Association from 2008 to 2011. She is vice-chair of the Okanagan College Board of Governors, chair of the Trail of the Okanagans steering committee, a director of the Summerland Chamber of Commerce and Summerland Credit Union and on the leadership board at Summerland Baptist Church. She and her husband Bob have operated a construction business since 1980. In 2012, she sought the provincial Liberal nomination to represent the riding of Penticton.

Rules to tighten for blue bag recyclables Those who wish to recycle their toasters and old clothes through Summerland’s blue bag recycling program must find other ways to dispose of such items as the regulations governing recycling are about to change. Don Darling, director of works and utilities for the municipality, said the regulations will change after May 19.

Under the new regulations, penalties will be imposed if the municipality’s blue bag recyclables contain more than three per cent contamination. Darling said at present, around eight per cent of the recyclables in the blue bag program do not belong in the bags. Styrofoam can be recycled at the landfill, but not in the

blue bags, although that will change after the new regulations take effect later this month. Small appliances and electronics can be taken to the landfill for recycling, but they are not acceptable in blue bags. Darling said old toasters have shown up in some blue bags. While not permitted, he can understand the reason for their inclusion. “People know you

can take a toaster to the landfill to recycle it,” he said. The most puzzling items he has seen in the blue bags are old clothes. While second-hand stores will accept used clothing in good condition, old clothes do not belong in the blue bags or at any of the recycling bins at the landfill. While recyclable materials can be dropped off at the landfill, blue bags

with mixed items are not allowed. Instead, those who take recyclables to the landfill must sort them so paper, cardboard, plastics and other items are kept separate. The curbside recyclable service allows users to leave mixed bags of recyclables for pickup. Darling said the curbside pickup has resulted in a noticeable reduction in the amount of garbage

taken to the landfill. If the municipality’s blue bag recyclables exceed the amount of contamination allowed, fines up to almost $120,000 a year could be imposed. Since the recyclables collection service brings in around $127,000 a year, the

difference is substantial. “We’re going to be firm with what people put in,” Darling said. If collection workers notice items which are not permitted in a blue bag, the bag will be marked and left for the resident.

EDITORIAL

our pick

An uneasy anniversary For the past 30 years, the Summerland Food Bank has helped Summerlanders in need. On Saturday, the food bank held a 30-year anniversary tea to honour those who have been involved over the years. The community support for the food bank is remarkable. Dedicated volunteers give of their time at the food bank each week. Many in the community donate food and money to ensure the food bank can continue its work. Each year, there are numerous donation drives and fundraising initiatives to assist the food bank. Donations have included substantial cheques from service organizations, boxes of packaged food from students and even money raised by children from the sale of stuffed toys. As an example of community service in action, the food bank is impressive. Summerlanders see the need for the food bank and they are willing to help out. At the same time, it is disturbing when there is a need for a food bank, especially in a community where there is much prosperity. Each month, around 80 hampers are distributed to Summerland households in need. This number is an increase from just a few years ago, when 60 hampers a month were distributed, and it’s a far cry from the seven hampers which were distributed in the first month the food bank was in operation in 1984. While the food hampers are needed, it is just as important that we examine the factors contributing to this need. Unless we can address chronic problems of unemployment, underemployment, affordable housing and other issues, the need for the food bank will continue to grow. Summerlanders will continue to support the food bank, but long-term solutions are just as important as donations.

The Blossom Pageant on the weekend gave young women in Summerland the opportunity to develop poise, confidence and skills for public roles. Those who were named as Summerland’s royalty for the coming year will represent the community at many functions, here and out of town. All the candidates in the program have developed skills which will serve them well in the future.

‘Vocational school’ back in style VICTORIA – The B.C. government has rolled out its ambitious overhaul of the public education system, from kindergarten to graduate school, much to the horror of its leftwing establishment. The formal title is B.C.’s Skills For Jobs Blueprint: Reengineering Education and Training. It’s designed to dovetail with the Harper regime’s Canada Job Grant Tom Fletcher that requires employers to co-sponsor training spaces so they will hire the students at the end. Elementary and middle school curriculum is being revised to increase emphasis on hands-on experience. High school and post-secondary skilled trades programs are getting more money, but it’s going to be shifted from under-performing programs that don’t lead to jobs. Premier Christy Clark took another swipe at the bias of B.C.’s system before heading to Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong on another liquefied natural gas sales trip. She noted that 20 per cent of B.C. students, and nearly half of aboriginal students, don’t finish high school. “Not only are there kids who don’t graduate, there are kids who graduate, go out and get one or two credentials before they finally find their way into a skills training program,” said Clark, who had her own wan-

der through university campuses before going into politics. A couple of weeks ago, Simon Fraser University president Andrew Petter downplayed the “relatively small” skilled trades shortage for B.C. industry. “We should not be engaged in a zero-sum kind of battle for dollars,” Petter protested. That’s exactly what he and other university executives are looking at, and it will be based on the latest graduate employment data and labour demand forecasts. One of the key architects of this sweeping plan is Jessica McDonald, who shook up the public service while serving as Gordon Campbell’s deputy minister. Her report on trades training confirms what Campbell’s critics in the labour movement have long said: the government’s 10-year experiment with the Industry Training Authority is a rudderless mess. “Certain partners, particularly organized labour, feel marginalized,” McDonald wrote. “Others, particularly employers and employers’ associations, do not feel heard within the system. Over the recent past, several new directions have been introduced such as deregulation of trades and modular training that have caused strain because they were not fully inclusive during development, were seen to benefit single interests, and they impacted the whole system.” The ITA board is being replaced, with union representation restored, and advis-

ory councils from industrial employers will update their hiring needs. The B.C. Federation of Labour and the construction unions have all but abandoned the NDP after Adrian Dix’s disastrous pitch for urban antiindustry votes last year. B.C. Fed president Jim Sinclair was an early advocate for rescuing skilled trades from the secondclass status they received in a culture fixated on university for two generations. That culture has created glaring problems. There are too many institutions offering the same courses. As with health care, block funding is handed out without any serious effort to measure the results. For many students, university has become an extension of adolescence, finding one’s self through philosophy or film studies. Employers get their share of blame from McDonald. Not only did they chop up trades training to make it cheaper to obtain, their preferred source of skilled workers has been to poach from other employers who paid to train them. Skills-based employment data will be made public for students to make career choices. Finally, students coming out of high school will have a way to assess what they can expect after $50,000 or more is spent on higher education. It’s about time.

culls

We are glad Summerlanders have embraced the blue bag recycling program, but we are also puzzled with the items which are included in the bags. The curbside program has not accepted small appliances, but these items have ended up in the blue bags. Even more puzzling, used clothes are not accepted for recycling in the bags or at the depot at the landfill, but some have included them with recyclables. Please take a moment to learn what is permitted before setting out the recyclables for collection.

Many expressed opposition to plan Dear Editor: Regarding the proposal to remove land from the ALR: Residents of Summerland who have actually signed a petition against the removal are 1,500 in number. According to B.C. Elections statistics

online, we have 8,276 eligible voters in Summerland. However, only 2,994 chose to vote in the last municipal election (which means our council was elected by 36 per cent participation). B.C. Elections statistics do not indicate how many votes

Mayor Janice Perrino received, because she was elected by default (yes, I know the correct term is acclamation). Presumably councillors are happy with the democratic process which allowed them to be elected with the following

numbers: 1,861, 1,675, 1,586, 1,522, 1,365 and 1,298. Although I cannot prove that all 1,500 petitioners voted, 1,500 participants is greater than half of the electorate who voted to bring in the present council, and is a democratic

THE EARLY YEARS

Happy Mother’s Day

Baby Art was right where he wanted to be when this photo was taken in 1908. His mother, Anita (Mrs. Granville Morgan,) also looked content to be holding her son, the first of her three boys. Anita probably had to deal with years of muddy boots, captured frogs, wrestling matches, scraped knees and many other childhood pursuits. Happy Mother’s Day, moms—you put up with a lot and you’re very much appreciated.

Speculating on the outcome of the November election Dear Editor: Here’s my take on how things will unfold: Janice Perrino will get turfed in this November’s elections, along with her sycophantic five, if there’s any justice.

The Official Community Plan will be reviewed,rewritten and restored to the pre-Perrino 2014 model. Any call to the Agricultural Land Reserve for approval will be rescinded and the

taxpayers of Summerland will only be out a few hundred thousand dollars for the whole process. Peter Waterman for mayor! Derek Lenk Summerland

majority based on those statistics. I heard Mayor Perrino claim on a CBC morning show that only 300 people were against the removal, and rather than acknowledging the extremely intelligent presentations made by approximately

90 citizens, chose to quote a wishful thinker’s single sentence for her sound bite agenda, that someone said they would rather Summerland wouldn’t grow. Apart from the deliberate public misinformation, Mayor

Perrino and council, with the exception of Coun. Peter Waterman, have chosen to act like recalcitrant children standing with their fingers in their ears, and loudly singing the song they wish to hear. Heather S. Ross Summerland

Dear Editor: We moved from Penticton last year, after finding a lovely house next to an orchard, on Agricultural Land Reserve land. This land is included in the exclusion proposal for the amended Official Community Plan. I’ve taken great interest in the OCP amendment in part because it affects us and also because I’m working on an MSc in sustainable building and I sit on the Climate Action Advisory Committee for Penticton. The amendment has created a sustainability versus sustainability debate, with one side arguing the benefits of less urban sprawl while the other advocates the benefits of food security and the carbon sequestration. Both sides agree Summerland isn’t growing fast and there are hundreds of existing building lots. Why the urgency? Summerland’s Climate Action Plan (published in 2011) has as Goal #1: Support the trading of ALR land within 800 meters or about a 10-minute walk of downtown with land in the periphery if additional development land is required. I asked three members of the Climate Action Committee and nobody knew how this ended up as Goal #1. In 2013, Summerland decided to spend $80,000 on the Future Summerland Project, asking residents where they would like to see future development. The public con-

firmed that Goal #1 is a good idea. Or did they? Even before the hearings, there have been concerns about the legitimacy of the Future Summerland Project. After considerable research it appears these concerns are valid. The Summerland Urban Growth Strategy Final Report contains errors, contradictions and misrepresentation. My analysis paper, Urban Growth Strategy using Multi-Criteria Analysis – Fact or Fiction?, is available free online at Scribd.com. Because of my findings, it is appropriate to question the sincerity of

the ALR inclusion part of the swap. A section of this hillside land was removed from the ALR in 2005, with Summerland arguing it was unfit to farm. Without two businesses expressing an interest in farming this land, the Agricultural Land Commission would not entertain the OCP amendment. If mayor and council had taken the time to look deeper into what has transpired, I believe they would not have supported this OCP amendment. If I’m wrong, Summerland is far from sustainable. Phil Hawkes Summerland

In a way it is, but you still have to answer medical questions and the premiums are considerably higher than standard insurance.

More than tankers coming off the rails

Dear Editor: So there’s more than aging oil bearing tankers (DOT.oneelevens) “coming off the rails” these days, internationally, nationally, provincially, regionally and locally. Malaysian Air Lines flight 370 is lost; and in South Korea an overloaded ferry tips over, leaving 300 dead or missing, mostly high school students. The captain and some crew members are arrested and Premier Chung Hong-won resigns. Since then two subway trains

collide in Seoul and off Greece, 22 bodies are found after a migrant boat capsizes. In Ottawa a National Fair Elections Act is called “unfair” as Minister of State for Democratic Reform, Pierre Polievre, is alternatively referred to as a lightweight, arrogant, a clown and a pit bull. In Alberta, Premier Alison Redford resigns after only two and a half years after winning the election for the Progressive Conservative Party. Her management style and lavish travel

expenses are criticized. In Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horwath, in disagreement over the 2014 budget, withdraws her support for the minority Liberal government led by premier Kathleen Wynne. A general provincial election has been called for June 12. At one time, in Alberta, we called it “Toronto the good” and jested a contest with first prize a one week Toronto vacation; second prize a two week vacation and today mayor Rob

Ford and heart throb celebrity Justin Bieber have changed the image from “The Good” to negative. Major Canadian news networks report a steadily increasing number of people shopping online and there’s concern in most local communities about more vacant retail space on main streets. “Fragile” being the most frequently and accepted euphemism for the economy. In Penticton there is feuding over tourism, hospitality servi-

ces and a hotel tax. Meanwhile in Summerland, some fantasize that housing developments on prime agricultural land will bring residents that are not online shoppers and that building a large new library half a block from the old library is going to revitalize Main Street. Probably wishing not to remember Bob Dylan’s folk anthem that said: “the times they are a changing”. Dick Clements Summerland

Thanks to all who showed care and support Dear Editor: Our daughter’s letter of thanks: Three years ago I discovered that I was expecting my first child and was happier than I had ever been.

But within three weeks, my life would be forever changed because of a pancreatic condition. Although I was very ill, I delivered my son two and a half months early.

But most of all, a huge thank you to the Shriners Bus Service who provided transportation for family members to bring my son, Johnathon to see me. With great appreciation, April Wilsner It is with great sadness that, after learning that the doctors could do nothing

more to help April, our daughter said goodbye on May 2. It gives us some comfort to know that her doctors at VGH said April taught them more about the strength of the human spirit and the will of a mother to fight to be able to come home to her son, than they had seen before. We are very proud she was our daughter. Doreen and Vern Wilsner Summerland

This project has been in the works for the past year and is part of the chamber’s responsibilities in managing the community’s tourism portfolio. On

an annual basis, this includes managing our visitor centre, creating our printed visitor guide, promoting the community and presenting the annual Festival of Lights. We are delighted to report that this website project is now complete. The partnership of TOTA, financially and otherwise, has been invaluable.

We have also worked with a talented team of designers, photographers and web developers to achieve the overall look and feel of the site. We are fortunate in that local author Denise Howie has written all the content for the new website. Incorporating a flair for research, the awareness of a local for

High-Speed Internet. Where you live.

Government of British Columbia and Xplornet Partner to Bring Affordable High-Speed to Remote B.C. Residents. Xplornet Communications Inc. is pleased to announce a partnership with the government of British Columbia to help bridge the urban/rural digital divide in rural and remote British Columbia. The initiative is a multi-year program to make Internet connectivity more affordable in rural and remote areas where installation costs can be high. The program will provide a subsidy of up to $250, or half of the cost of an installation of broadband equipment to new residential and business customers within Xplornet’s industry leading 4G rural broadband satellite footprint. This will significantly reduce the costs of installation, costs that may have been a barrier to the adoption of high-speed Internet. “The government of British Columbia deserves significant praise for a program that helps break down one of the last barriers to full connectivity in the province – namely the high cost of broadband installation in remote parts of BC. Now, even the most remote British Columbians can affordably benefit from the transformative power of high-speed Internet to connect them to the global economy,” said Xplornet President Allison Lenehan.

In the first inning the Summerland Tadpole division team played well, with great plays and one out, but the Pirates were up 4-0. Gordon Widdis hit to centre field. He was followed by Garrett Bayston, who hit a hard line drive down the third base line. Next up to bat was Aydan Yargeau. He hit a fantastic line drive down the first
