Job action

Carla McLeod Special to the Review

Cheryl Hope, left, Kevin Bond and Traci Steves were among the picketers at Summerland Middle School on Monday. The picket is part of a job action by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation.

Decision deferred on proposed infill lot Municipal council has deferred a decision on a development variance permit needed for an infill lot on Howis Crescent. The proposal would have one large lot divided into two smaller lots, with a house on each. The variance permit application was to reduce the minimum lot depth from 30 metres to 20 metres and to create a building envelope

smaller than the minimum dimensions of 10 metres by 10 metres. The variances are needed because the lot would have an irregular shape. Municipal planner Ian McIntosh said the lot met the total area requirements, but not the minimum lot depth. Those living near the property said the proposed lot would reduce their view and infringe on their privacy.

Coun. Lloyd Christopherson said any decision must consider the existing area. “I think there has to be some respect to the character of the neighbourhood,” he said. Coun. Bruce Hallquist suggested further discussion with the applicant about the size of the proposed house and its dimensions. The application is expected to come back to the council table in June.

The Summerland Community Arts Centre and the Summerland Potters’ Guild are moving into interim locations, but the Red Cross medical equipment depot, does not yet have a new location. Jeremy Denegar, director of corporate services for the municipality, said the municipality has not been able to find a location which meets the Red Cross’s needs. The Red Cross wants a location which has a flat, level entrance and is available at a low cost or no cost. The depot needs a floor space of at least 65 square metres. “We are still looking for a space for them” he said. “A few places have been looked at, but unfortunately nothing has worked out yet.” He added that if a suitable site cannot be found, the medical equipment depot in Summerland may amalgamate with the depot in Penticton. The other tenants of the former municipal hall on Main Street have been relocated. The Summerland Community Arts Centre will occupy a portion of the former Willowbrook Lane building, almost directly across the road. The Summerland Potters’ Guild will occupy the former banner printing location on Victoria Road North. Both locations will be used until the municipality can provide a permanent facility for the arts. For 16 years, the former municipal hall on Main Street has housed the gallery and the Potters’ Guild. Earlier this year, the building and the adjacent garage were sold. A new library building will be constructed on the site. The library building is needed as the present library location, on Wharton Street, is roughly half the size needed to serve Summerland’s present population. The library building has been suggested as a location for the Summerland Community Arts Council and the Summerland Potters’ Guild, once the new library is completed. However, a final decision has not yet been made.

Selling flowers

Carla McLeod Special to the Review

It’s the season for sales. These two young entrepreneurs, Lillian Pereira, six and Grace Pereira, 10, were selling flowers from their roadside stand earlier this month.

No legislation planned for teacher strike by Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – The B.C. government is not planning to legislate a settlement to the latest teacher strike, which is shutting down schools in each district for a day this week. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Monday the government is looking for movement from the B.C. Teachers’ Federation on its wage and benefit demands, but isn’t going to impose another contract extension on the union. The legislature is scheduled to adjourn for the summer on Thursday. “To rush to legislation is not where we’re going to go,” Fassbender said.

“We want the BCTF to come to the table with a wage response that is reasonable and within the zone of other public sector unions. We expect them to come with something that is affordable for taxpayers.” After lockout provisions were announced last week to mirror union work hour restrictions that started in April, BCTF president Jim Iker said that would disrupt graduation ceremonies, and sports, drama and clubs would be cancelled. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association issued a letter to the BCTF Sunday saying Iker’s statements are incorrect, and there are no school district

restrictions on extracurricular or volunteer activities. “If teachers withdraw from participation in extracurricular or volunteer activities, they do so at the encouragement of the union and by their own choice,” the letter states. Fassbender also rejected the union’s claim that teachers doing volunteer work are not covered for work-related injury. “Any teacher that is at any activity that is sanctioned by a school district is absolutely covered by WorkSafeBC,” Fassbender said. “There is no question of that, and that misinformation should be corrected.”

POLICE REPORT Accident reported

On May 19 at 4:20 p.m., a 16-year-old boy reported to police that his motorcycle, parked at Sungate Plaza, had been struck. Police said there was minor damage to the motorcycle, but it did not happen in the way the incident had been reported or at that location. The boy was turned over to his father.

Items stolen

On May 18 at 2:20 p.m. police were called following a break and enter at a house on Gayton Street. The incident is believed to have occurred between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Items taken include a laptop, clothing and a vacuum cleaner. Police are continuing to investigate.

Motorist impaired

On May 18 at 12:10 a.m., police noticed a vehicle parked and idling on the access road to Sunoka Beach. The driver was passed out in the driver’s seat. The 43-year-old Summerland man was issued a 90-day driving prohibition and his vehicle was impounded for 30 days. Police say while the motorist was not driving, he was considered in control of the vehicle since it was running and he was in the driver’s seat.

Man intoxicated

On May 16 at 4:57 p.m., police were called after an intoxicated man was observed at the Summerland Recreation Centre. The 50-year-old man became aggressive with police. He was then taken to cells in Penticton and was released when he was sober.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

After an accident

Police, firefighters and paramedics were called to a single-vehicle motorcycle accident on Highway 97 near Thornber Street shortly after noon on Tuesday.

Cyclist struck at intersection A Summerland cyclist required surgery following a hit and run accident. The incident occurred May 18 at 11:30 a.m. at the intersection of Elliot Street and Steven Avenue. The female cyclist was struck by a large white vehicle, which then left the scene. The cyclist was then taken to hospital where she was slated to undergo wrist surgery. Cpl. Bruce Haley of the Summer-

land RCMP detachment said there have been other accidents involving bicycles and motor vehicles at the same intersection. He said careful driving rather than intersection upgrades can reduce the problems at the corner. “If people aren’t paying attention — cyclists or drivers — bad things can happen,” he said. “The intersection has nothing to do with it.” Summerland

A "good guy" hacker broke into a website which had been used by various bad guys for trading malicious software (malware) and stolen credit card numbers. The "good guy" collected a list of the registered users and published their email addresses. This is of course the last thing the bad guys ever want to happen. The site was called pakbugs.com and at last report was no longer functioning. With more and more people using the Internet and computers in general, malware is becoming a very big problem.

EDITORIAL

our pick

Settling job action Once again, a labour dispute between a public sector union and the province could have far-reaching effects. The job action between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the province includes rotating strikes which began this week and a stop-work order that takes effect 45 minutes before and after school hours and during lunch and recess breaks. In Summerland, students were out of school on Monday while teachers and support staff picketed. The story has played itself out too many times in the past. This year’s graduating students have experienced previous teacher job actions and strikes in 2002, 2005 and 2012. And, as in the past, those most deeply affected by this job action are the students and their families. In the private sector, if labour and management cannot reach an agreement and a strike results, the customers can find other providers for the same products or services. In a public sector environment, there are no other feasible alternatives in place. The vast majority of students in British Columbia are under the public school system. While private schools exist, switching schools at this point in the year is extremely difficult if not impossible. The same holds true for other services provided by the government. Health care, public safety, road and highway maintenance and more exist through government departments. If these services are interrupted or slowed down, there are no other reasonable alternatives for the public. In the short term, it is important that the province and the teachers reach a solution which satisfies all concerned. In the longer term, a better model is needed so similar job actions are unnecessary in the future.

The list of outstanding young performing artists is impressive. At the recent Penticton Kiwanis Music Dance and Speech and Dramatic Arts Festival, many Summerland participants earned medals and awards for their efforts. Some were also named representatives to the B.C. Provincial Performing Arts Festival. Their dedication today may lead them to performing arts careers in the future.

Are our public schools racist VICTORIA – Last week’s column on the proposal to add a mandatory high school course on the effects of Canada’s aboriginal residential school policy attracted a range of responses – some of which are printable. I referred to comments made by B.C. Teachers’ Federation vicepresident Glen Hansman at a 2012 aboriginal education conference, where Tom Fletcher he insisted that “racism is the norm in public schools – still today” because of a colonial perspective that remains ingrained in our culture. Aboriginal education has been built into social studies curriculum for years. It’s come a long way from my high school days, where Mr. Spillers, my Grade 8 English teacher, assigned us an essay proposing solutions to Canada’s “Indian problem.” That was 1972, and it was the only time the subject came up. My lone aboriginal classmate wasn’t around by then. I never saw him again after we graduated from our rural elementary school. How are things now? I received a thoughtful letter from a young woman who graduated from high school in the Okanagan last year. She writes: “The idea that information about residential schools is not presented to students is

entirely incorrect. The social studies curriculum that I went through included a large emphasis on First Nations culture and post-European colonization history. “First Nations studies began in elementary school and continued to the last mandatory social studies course in Grade 11. I can say with no hesitation that if anything, I have been informed too often about the residential schools, and the horrendous things that occurred there. “If aboriginal culture courses are poorly attended, I would be inclined to suggest that it is because students are tired of being taught the same limited perspective over and over, and, if of European descent, being made to feel somehow responsible for all possible troubles plaguing First Nations today.” Another reply I’d like to share is from Keith Thor Carlson, editor of the Stó:lo Nation historical atlas I referred to last week. Carlson is now a history professor at the University of Saskatchewan, specializing in the Salish people of B.C. and the Métis of Northern Saskatchewan. He writes: “We do need to teach the history of the First Peoples of this country in our schools, and we do need to keep vigilant about the racism that continues to haunt the hallways and classrooms where our children learn. “Of course aboriginal history should never be reduced to victim history, and with the Stó:lo

atlas we sought to show the complexity of aboriginal history, and we sought to show that not only are there aboriginal people in Canada’s history, but that Canada is in aboriginal peoples’ histories. “There were times in the past when aboriginal people were victimized (residential schools being a tragic example), and there were times when aboriginal people showed great agency (retaining the masked dance, and continuing to fish salmon, for example). “Knowing that native society was not a Utopia when Europeans arrived does not take away from the importance of learning about the full history of aboriginal people and their relationship with Canadian society. “And of course, as Ernie Crey has reminded me many times, let’s never forget that native rights are not based on race. Rather, they are rights based on prior occupation. And let’s also not forget that it is British and Canadian law that recognizes aboriginal peoples’ inherent rights. “Let’s teach good history to our youth so they can understand the complex relationship between settler society and aboriginal society. Through knowledge comes understanding and through understanding can come reconciliation.” Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

bad apples The accident earlier this month when a cyclist in Summerland was struck by a motor vehicle is disturbing. At the very least, the motorist should have stopped to check on the cyclist who had been hit and then call for medical help. The vast majority of motorists in Summerland and the rest of the South Okanagan are great around cyclists, but even one accident can have tragic consequences.

Accident leaves cyclist injured

Dear Editor: They say lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place, but in Summerland drivers do apparently. Remember the cyclist who was hit at the corner of Steven and Elliot a few months ago? Well, it hap-

pened again. Same cyclist, same corner. Only this time she wasn’t just banged up. She is in hospital undergoing multiple surgeries. Just like the first time, the driver backed up and drove around her, leaving

her lying in the road. For those of you who don’t know where this corner is, it is at the top of Hunt Street by the Baptist Church. Steven Street meets the intersection of Hunt and Elliot so anyone running the stop sign on Elliot can-

not see who is coming up the Hunt hill. In the afternoon, there are many students from the high school and middle school cycling up that hill. Cyclists are going very slowly because of the steepness of the hill and tend to

keep going around the corner rather than stopping, as it is hard to get going again on the hill that continues around onto Elliot. It is common for drivers coming down Steven to slow down, look right and then make the turn onto

Elliot without stopping. Maybe council should consider a flashing light or crosswalk at this dangerous intersection. Hopefully we don’t have to wait until someone is killed at this location.

If you are a driver who uses Steven Street to get to Elliot, please stop at the stop sign. You may be avoiding causing a serious injury to someone on a bike or in a car. Lesley Field Summerland

THE EARLY YEARS

Goin’ fishin’?

Photo courtesy of the Summerland Museum

This photo was taken by the cabin just above Agur Lake. In 1909 the road to the lake was little more than a trail but whether one wanted to fish, camp, or just ride out for a picnic, it was always a popular destination. Today, the Agur Lake Camp Society has made it possible for those with special needs to experience the fun of camping and fishing as well as the natural beauty that has always drawn folks to Agur Lake. Saturday, May 31 is Visitor’s Day at the camp, so why not drive out and see what’s happening at the lake. It’s a place we all can enjoy. More info at www.agurlakecamp.ca.

Naramata Centre workers on strike Bill would Dear Editor: I am writing about the current strike of employees at the United Church’s Naramata Centre. I am the President of CUPE 608, the union representing these employees. We are taking job action to protect jobs in the face of a management approach that has treated loyal and long-term employees in an uncaring manner. We also fail to see how the approach the current management have taken will fix the problems facing

the centre. When the centre first gave notice to its employees last December that it intended to contract out half or more of the approximately 30 jobs at the centre, staff were devastated, and shocked. There had been no attempt to jointly solve problems. The management style has meant that unionized employees at the centre have been treated as the problem, never as part of the solution. The CUPE members who work at the

centre care deeply about its future. They observe that in the past number of years it has been chronically understaffed, forcing excessive amounts of overtime and undermining guest services. There has also been a lack of a vigorous promotional plan, with the resulting stagnation and loss of revenue. It is typical of the current management that despite having their employees off the job and a picket line up around the centre operations, they continue to say

they can perform “business as usual” and attempt to convince themselves and others that they can avoid an impact on church centre guests. Let’s be clear, the centre is in a financial mess largely of its own making and has suffered from serious mismanagement, particularly in the past five years. The way that the current centre management has handled the proposed contracting out and bargaining have only made a bad situation worse. There are

many partners in the centre, including the B.C. Conference of the United Church, which has provided significant financial assistance. The employees of Naramata Centre feel disrespected and cast aside by the centre management and the United Church. The problems facing the United Church Centre are real. But they will not be solved by the road we are on. Brianne Hillson President CUPE Local 608 Naramata

Red Cross depot must stay open Dear Editor: I was horrified when I went to the Summerland Red Cross depot Friday to read a note in the door saying they are closing permanently

on June 25. What is going on in this town? I realize they are located in a building the district recently sold to the regional Library.

How can we allow such an important service to the community to close? Barb Jones Summerland

invade privacy of Canadians

Dear Editor: Dan Albas has to step up to the plate to stop the government from invading the privacy of its citizens. Our tax dollars are being used for the purpose to find the following information: Financial status, our medical history, our sexual orientation, and even our religious and political beliefs. Did I leave anything out? An independent inquiry recently found CSEC (Com-

munications Security Establishment Canada) guilty of misusing public funds and “serious breaches” of values and ethics. Bill-13 must be killed.

Class sizes affect teachers, students

Dear Editor: The school system is strained because costs that used to be covered by government no longer are. Unfortunately, this problem is passed down to our local school boards which are called on to do a lot with limited resources. Teachers and students are affected. Class sizes have grown and special needs students have been added without extra help. I personally know

of a case where a teacher has 26 pupils plus three special needs children. One of these pupils tests at the lowest one per cent of intelligence. He only knows his name and that he’s in school, but he cannot read and comprehend printing in his Grade 4 class. The teacher has one-quarter time total extra help from an aide. Another talented teacher finally quit his job when he had

a year of 32 high school students, 10 of which needed individual education plans because they couldn’t keep up with the rest. How fair is this to the teachers and to the students who need extra help? The teachers won a B.C. Supreme Court case regarding class size and composition, but the government is fighting the ruling. How much is this legal wrangling costing us taxpayers?

How many of you have given a birthday party for 32 children without extra help? Maybe if you did this, you only had to survive for four hours. Then imagine how stressful it is when a teacher has to be with a large class day after day with some pupils who don’t want to be there at all, when library help, special needs aides, and English as a second language have been cut. We need a good education system. The future of B.C. depends on it. Marilyn Hansen Summerland

Dear Editor: Like many Summerlanders, we’ve enjoyed pedaling and hiking on the trails across the trestle. Although we knew that the Penticton Indian Band’s lands started somewhere to the southwest of Trout Creek Canyon, we had been choosing willful ignorance about the exact boundaries. On a recent ride, we met a band member named Elliot who politely informed us that we were trespassing. Feeling rather sheepish, we asked him about the boundaries and the band’s concerns, and he explained them clearly and calmly. Aside from the obvious — we were

there without permission — he talked about their desire to use that land for ceremonial and gathering purposes (starting immediately), liability concerns, and the landscape damage they’re witnessing as trespassing increases. Penticton Indian Band signs and fences have been vandalized and torn down. Basically, our increasing use of their land has made us pretty bad neighbours. We apologized and said we’d share their frustration with our community. Here’s hoping we can learn to be better neighbours, starting simply by staying out of their territory.

Summerland Review Thursday, May 29, 2014

Tourism numbers increase While communities around the Okanagan Valley have had to cope with declining tourism statistics, Summerland is attracting more visitors. Speaking to municipal council on Monday evening, Christine Petkau, manager of the Summerland Chamber of Commerce said the number of visitors increased by roughly 20 per cent in 2013 over 2012. The majority of Canadian visitors to Summerland come from British Columbia and Alberta, she said. The United States also provides many tourists to the community, with the number on the increase.

The chamber board has identified Europe, especially Germany, as a key market for visitors to the community. Petkau said in the future, China will become a more important source of tourists as the middle class grows and as travel restrictions are relaxed. Earlier this year, the Summerland Chamber published its annual visitors’ guide, with more content than in previous years. A tourism website, separate from the Summerland Chamber website, was also launched this spring, as was a tourism video, highlighting some of the attractions and amenities within the community.

COUNCIL REPORT The regular meeting of municipal council was held on May 26 in council chambers. All members of council except Coun. Peter Waterman were present.

Gas price drives more to conserve: poll Pain at pumps spurs more walking and transit use by Jeff Nagel Black Press A new poll has found high gas prices are causing financial hardship for a majority of B.C. residents, many of whom say they’re driving less and trying alternatives like walking or transit more. The Insights West online survey in partnership with Black Press found twothirds of respondents across the province have felt financial hardship from the recent rise in gas prices. Pump prices for regular gas climbed above $1.50 per litre in Metro Vancouver this week, up more than 20 per cent since

early January. More Interior B.C. residents cited hardship – 74 per cent – even though they don’t pay the extra 17-cent-a-litre gas tax charged by TransLink in Metro Vancouver. Insights West vicepresident Mario Canseco said $1.50 per litre appears to be a psychological level where more people seek ways to cut their fuel consumption. “We’re seeing people saying it might be better to take the bus this afternoon, it might be better to walk or try to bike – essentially not to drive,” he said. Fifty-five per cent of poll respondents across B.C. said they’re already driving less than usual, while 27 per cent said they’re walking more and 19 per cent said they’re taking

outside, they’re doing it because they’re feeling the pain when they gas up.” The poll also uncovered refueling habits of those surveyed. It may not sound like a winning strategy, but a large number of respondents – 38 per cent – said they’ve refueled with less gas than usual lately, possibly in hopes of lower prices the next time. Just over half said they buy at gas stations that give them loyalty reward points, while far fewer respondents said they use a station close to home or work (20 per cent), or they buy at any station when they run low (10 per cent.) Sixteen per cent said they don’t own a car. The poll also found widespread belief that gas taxes are too high, that B.C. stations charge more

than ones elsewhere in Canada, and 91 per cent said they believe gas stations take advantage of motorists by raising prices just before a long weekend. “There’s a high number of people who look at the service stations as gougers,” Canseco said. Just four per cent said they’ve considered selling their vehicle and switching to a more fuel efficient one. Canseco said he believes that will change over time as electric car prices come down. The poll didn’t ask the more than 800 respondents if they regularly drive to the U.S. to refuel with cheaper gas. But Canseco said a previous poll on cross-border shopping habits showed gas savings is one of the top reasons why Lower Mainland residents frequently head south.

Larry, this question comes up often and the more notice you can provide, the better we can plan. Some patients have had preventative dental care and have little or no dentistry necessary. Others come to me with old silver fillings, missing teeth, original dentures, and infection or decay in their teeth which will require months or even years to restore back to optimal health. To evaluate your situation, I do an assessment or exam and come up with a plan--immediate needs and preventative or long term needs. If you are retiring you are likely looking at the big picture. After the assessment, we can then decide together how best to proceed with options including healthier teeth and gums, out of pain, new smile, new denture, etc. We can choose to do all of it at once or stage it over a period of time. Given more time to complete the treatment we can often maximize your dental benefits while achieving your oral health goals. Once the treatment is done, I’ll recommend at least a yearly visit to maintain the investment you made in your oral health. Health is so important and it is never too early to invest in good health!

The deadline for receipt of written submissions is 4:30 pm on Friday, July 11, 2014. Written submissions can be made online or via e-mail, fax, mail, or delivered at the public hearings during the session times.

Chambers influence government policies A key role of any Chamber of Commerce is to advocate on behalf of their business community. Why is advocacy important? It’s important because business owners have valuable information to contribute and legislators need to make informed decisions that address the needs of B.C. businesses. Chambers of Commerce throughout BC regularly craft and debate policy resolutions on topics raised in their local communities. Every year Chamber executives and board members meet to review these resolutions at

CHAMBER CORNER

Christine Petkau the B.C. Chambers of Commerce Annual General Meeting and Conference. The 2014 event was held this past weekend in Richmond. This unique grassroots policy-building forum brought together approximately 200

Chamber delegates from across B.C. The B.C. Chamber of Commerce represents 125 chambers in the province and 36,000 businesses, more than 700 of them from Summerland. This is a very large and influential voice in the Province and consequently, the government listens to and often incorporates the Chambers’ policy resolutions into their planning process and the creation of new legislation. In total, close to 50 policy resolutions dealing with finance and taxation, transportation, social policy, local government, skill develop-

ment and energy and the environment were voted on by the delegates. Twelve policies were put forward by Okanagan Chambers of Commerce at the conference. Some that were endorsed by all the delegates were recommendations regarding taxation for credit unions in BC, reinstatement of the business vote,

completion of a feasibility study showing the business case for the national park proposal for Okanagan Similkameen, the creation of a provincial capital fund for the support of arts and culture infrastructure, property transfer tax reform and a reduction in red tape at multiple levels of government to ensure easier access

to registered disability savings plans for people who qualify. The 39 policies endorsed by the delegates will now go to the BC government or in some cases the Federal government, for review and hopefully, implementation. The track record is historically good and by participating in this conference, the needs of Sum-

merland businesses are being heard at the provincial level. We always appreciate your feedback. Please contact me at manager@summerlandchamber.com or our chamber president, Arlene Fenrich, at president@summerlandchamber.com. Christine Petkau is the manager of the Summerland Chamber of Commerce.

Coffee house reopens after leak problems Business closed during extensive repair work by John Arendt

Open once again

On Monday, Jason and Jamie Embree were able to resume full hours and a full menu at Good Omens Coffee House. A leak and subsequent damages resulted in the coffee shop’s closure for several weeks.

Thursday, May 29, 2014 Summerland Review

When Jamie Embree, co-owner of Good Omens Coffee House, noticed a leak under the counter last month, she thought the problem would involve a call to the plumber and a simple repair. Instead, the plumber discovered a major pipe had failed and the crawl space was drenched. As a result, everything within 10 square metres of the leak had to be rebuilt. Then, as the work was underway, other related problems were discovered. “As they investigated further, the damage was a lot more than anyone had expected,” Embree said. Once the restoration work was completed, they discovered the dishwasher had also failed

and had to be replaced. The landlord is covering part of the repairs and restoration, but not any related expenses such as business interruption, lost income, lost perishables and lost staff wages. “Our insurance denied our claim for loss of business and loss of perishable items,” she said. The coffee house was closed for several weeks and in the first days after

hold a fundraising backyard barbecue on Saturday, May 31, from 6 to 9 p.m. “We’re calling it a Pity Party,” Embree said. “We need to raise funds so we can pay our staff for their down time and help cover some of our losses and repairs.” There is a minimum $8 donation for the barbecue. It will also feature a cash bar and a live and silent auction.

it reopened last week, the hours of operation were shorter than usual and the menu selection was limited to beverages and baked goods. The coffee house was back to its full hours and a full menu on Monday. To compensate for the losses, Good Omens will

Summerland businesses have been generous in donating items for the silent auction and door prizes, she said. “It’s community spirit at its finest,” Embree said. “It makes Summerland shine really brightly with community support.”

Friends keep gardens growing by Carla McLeod Special to the Review It has been said that “Friends are the flowers in the garden of life.” For the Summerland Ornamental Gardens, without friends, there would be no flowers. While Agriculture Canada owns the land and the buildings and provides a limited amount of maintenance for these historic gardens, it is the Friends of the Gardens Society that preserves, protects and enhances them. They promote the gardens as a tourist attraction as well. The society raises funds in order to hire two full-time gardeners and one community program director. Volunteers work under the direction of the gardeners, to plant and weed the flower beds. Up until recently this work has been done on “Weedy Wednesdays.” In order to accommodate more volunteers, the staff members have agreed to alter their work week to include Saturdays. This allows volunteers to work alongside them on the weekend as well as midweek. In the spring the volunteers gather together to do a mass planting of the flowering annuals. It is the love of gardening and of the garden itself, that brings some of the volunteers out to help. “It’s a special place in Summerland. It is a wonderful place to see and hear birds,” said Helen Poncelet. “The thing for me is I’ve recently downsized and I don’t

have a garden anymore, so now I can still get dirt under my nails,” said Juliet Schoonderwoert. Connie Davis’s grandfather had come over from Ireland with his bride when the gardens were being started. “It’s a very unusual feeling to be kneeling in ground that my grandfather was in. He worked here his entire life. They lived in a house here on the farm, as it was called then, so most of my childhood was spent here,” she said. Her husband Ray Davis’s father also worked at the Research Station. “It is a chance to pay back because of lots and lots of memories,” he said. Linda McIntosh has childhood memories of the gardens as well. “I use to come here as a kid for church picnics and family outings. It was always a joy to come here. They use to have quite a staff of paid gardeners. They don’t have that now, so it’s payback time,” she explained. A retired teacher from Giant’s Head School said it all started for her when she brought her students to the gardens. “I would bring my class here in the fall and in the spring, as part of giving back to the community. The kids worked while they were here. They lifted daffodil bulbs in the fall and planted them again in the spring. It has been a gift, a wonderful spot, an outdoor classroom for them,” said Marian Rudisill. She still appreciates the gardens

A time to plant

Friends of the Gardens Society volunteers gathered together last week to plant the flowering annuals at the Summerland Ornamental Gardens.

today. “I refer to this as the hidden secret. It’s a wonderful place to come and have a quiet walk,” she said. The two paid gardeners appreciate the help of the volunteers. “It’s fulfilling, when we have a group that comes together on one day, to see how much we can accomplish in a few hours,” said Trina Taylor. While acknowledging that working with the volunteers helps with their workload, what Head Gardener Wilma Kruger appreciates most is being able to meet and work with so many different people from different backgrounds.

“It’s really nice working in a relaxed garden atmosphere and hearing their stories. I love it,” she said. Community program director Eva Antonijevic has taken the initiative to use the gardens as an educational centre by offering workshops and holding garden projects for school children. She also believes that volunteering at the gardens has benefits. “Working with the Friends gives novices a really great opportunity to learn how to garden, because they are always working with our horticulturist gardeners. It is a way of getting to know what is good for your own home garden.”

Friends of the Gardens is offering a free xeriscape landscaping presentation, by Canadian author and horticulturist Sara Williams, on Saturday, May 31 at the IOOF Hall from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. They are always happy to welcome more volunteers and to accept new members as well as donations.

In fact, the thoroughness and quality of his work, as well as the somewhat surprising results, wowed the judges so much at this year’s Canada-Wide Science Fair in Windsor, Ont. the Trout Creek teen received multiple awards. In addition to the gold medal in the junior excellence category, Mansiere won the Actuarial Foundation of Canada honours and the Award for Excellence in Astronomy. That included a $4,000 entrance scholarship to Western University and other cash and prizes totalling $1,700. “Certainly I was surprised when I first got to the science fair. I didn’t think I had a chance. There are some incredibly smart kids out there,” said Mansiere. “Competition was very stiff but I had a great time and met some wonderful people.” One of the most significant findings of Mansiere’s research and something which has been identified in similar studies, is that more light does not mean less crime and can actually increase it. While he has been able to convince most of the doubters, not everyone is convinced. “It’s hard for people

to understand but what surprised me is how nicely things lined up. I wasn’t expecting such a blunt response from my study, but that’s what I got, where there’s light there’s crime,” said Mansiere. “I just want to get the word out and people to think about it.’ His interest in the matter came following the murder of hockey mom Julie Paskall in Surrey and the request by area residents for increased lighting. “But the relationship (between light and crime) seemed more complex,” he said. “My question was, is there a connection between light from streetlights and homes (measured as skyglow) and different types of crimes?” His results came from using three methods of light analysis and RCMP data to determine crime rates per street in Summerland and Penticton. In addition to the crime ratio to skyglow, Grant also believes it can cause health problems for people, negative issues for plants and animals and difficulty for astronomers. Part of his project was also looking at lighting options to reduce skyglow.

A new location

The Summerland Art Gallery will relocate to a new Main Street location in June. At present, there are two shows at the existing gallery at 9533 Main St.

Gallery prepares to move In 10 days, the current Art Gallery will be closing its doors forever. However, before it does you are invited to view two very interesting shows at the current Arts Centre. One, Harmony in Music and Nature, is in the Adams Room and features some fantastic felting work

by Allison Altherr. The other exhibition, aptly named My Journey Ends Here, features lino prints from Dr. Fanderlik’s original blocks and is in the main Art Gallery. These images reveal an impressive sense of scale and perspective, of meticulous attention to details, and a love

And mark your calendars for Thursday, July 10 when a new show will open at our new home at 9908 Main St. Thanks to a tremendous amount of work by various contractors and a small group of dedicated volunteers, work is progressing well on transforming the former Willowbrook Lane into an Art Gallery with space for workshops and programs. Walls have been built, sinks have been installed and painting is to be done. Soon there will be new space for the kids’ Summer Art Program that begins on July 7 as well as space for workshops for young and old, not to mention space to paint next year’s street banners. For more about our move, including photos, please visit our website at summerlandarts.com and our Facebook page at Facebook.com/SummerlandArts 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 Arts Palette is written by David Finnis, Publicity Chair and President of the Summerland Community Arts Council, 9533 Main St.

Although the Summerland Community Arts Council will move to a new location this summer, arts programs for children will still be offered. “It’s going to be a smaller program this year with the move,” said Carmen McDowell, Summer Arts Program coordinator. The arts council will move from the Main Street facility to the former Willowbrook Lane building across the street. The move comes as the municipality has sold the existing art gallery building for the site of a new and larger public library. McDowell said a new course, Space Junk, will be offered this year. Children in the craft-based course will make robots, monsters, masks and more. Several popular programs will return for this year. Broadway Bound is a singing, dancing and theatre games program which has attracted attention in past year. Fun with a Pocket Knife, another popular course, will also be offered. For younger children, Music and Movement will

return. Play with Puppets, a course which includes making puppets and creating fairy tale stories, will be offered. Another course with a fairy tale theme is Once Upon a Time. Participants will make crafts such as masks and sculptures based on fairy tales. Some acting may also be involved. An outdoor course, Messy and Marvellous, will include crafts, old t-shirts and mud. A writing course will also be taught once again this summer. The courses during the Summer Arts Program are for children from three to 12 years of age. All classes will be at the Willowbrook Lane location except for Broadway Bound, which will be at the United Church hall. Registrations will be accepted until June 20. The courses will be held July 7 to Aug. 15. McDowell urges those interested to register early as some of the courses tend to fill up quickly. For older children, the after school arts program will resume in fall.

Instructor Marian Rudisill helps Evan Wellborn during a writing course in last year’s Summer Arts Program. A variety of arts courses for children will be offered once again this summer.

Grads receive transit passes Summerland and other communities served by B.C, Transit are offering GradPASS, a special pass offering graduating students two days of free, unlimited transit travel in June. A total of 19,500 passes will be given to 19,500 Grade 12 students in 30 communities. GradPASS was first introduced in Vancouver in 1988 as part of the Counter-

attack program. Victoria first participated in 1990. This year, Summerland is also taking part in the program. “The safety of young people is of paramount concern, and the province, local governments, B.C. Transit and parents support students’ smart decisions to take transit during graduation celebrations,” Minister of Transporta-

tion and Infrastructure Todd Stone said. “I congratulate this year’s high school grads and wish them well on their journey forward.” “On behalf of all of us at B.C. Transit, we offer best wishes to all graduates as they begin the next chapter of their lives,” said B.C. Transit President and CEO Manuel Achadinha. “We hope this

graduation present is the start of a lifetime commitment to sustainable transportation choices.” Students who receive a GradPASS scratch their two

chosen travel days and show the card to the bus driver. The pass is not transferable and may only be used in participating communities.

Thursday, May 29, 2014 Summerland Review

Keeping politics out of the office Last week was an unusually partisan one in the House of Commons even by Ottawa standards. At issue was the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs where the leader of the official opposition appeared as a witness to answer questions on the use of taxpayers’ funds in what some have described as partisan political satellite “outreach” offices. The testimony and exchanges were testy, aggressive and revealing. Ultimately this issue also exposed what can be a fine line between activities that are deemed to be partisan as opposed to non partisan. This issue also illustrated there is a general difference of opinion and in some cases a lack of understanding, on what the role of a Member of Parliament’s office should be. From my perspective, a Member of Parliament’s office is ultimately a location to host meetings, meet with constituents and assist citizens on issues and concerns of importance that are raised relating to the federal government. Often providing information or other assistance to access government services or resolving conflicts are also common items that arise. Collectively an MP office budget is funded from the House of Commons following regulations established by

OTTAWA REPORT

Dan Albas the all-party Board of Internal Economy and then administered through non partisan public officials. Although there are many safeguards and oversights to protect the interests of taxpayers there are still aspects of an MP’s office that operate on a discretionary basis set by the member, who we should recognize is ultimately responsible. Offices may have different operating structures based on how an individual MP allocates resources provided from what is known as the Member’s Office Budget, often called the MOB internally. Each fiscal year a set amount of funds is advanced to a Member of Parliament that covers all operational costs. At the end of a fiscal year, if the full amount of funds allocated are not used by the Member of Parliament, 95 per cent of the balance will be returned to the House of Commons and five per cent can be carried over towards the next year’s budget. Conversely, if a Member of Parliament exceeds that

office budget allotment, then the Member is personally responsible for the amount over the fixed budget. Once a MP retires, resigns, or is defeated in an election, all funds remaining are returned to the House of Commons. It should also be pointed out that there are reasonably firm guidelines in spending with requirements for receipts that ultimately are checked over by financial administration staff in Ottawa. One of the most important prevailing guidelines is that outside of Ottawa, office spending is for constituency related work on behalf of constituents and should not be used in any way for partisan political activities. In other words, activities that are intended to promote political interests should be funded by political parties and not from taxpayer provided office budgets. On that note I would like to confirm that both my Penticton and West Kelowna offices operate under these principles in a non-partisan manner. Office budgets are very carefully managed for maximum savings and political activities of any kind are not allowed. It is important for me that citizens have access to non partisan offices that are focused on areas of citizens’ concerns and providing information as opposed to political objectives. If you have further question on this or any subject before the House of Commons please contact my office directly. I can be reached at dan.albas@parl. gc.ca or toll free at 1-800-665-8711.

Paul plays on boys’ hockey team by John Arendt

Dedicated hockey player

In the three years since she started playing hockey, Sarah Paul has worked hard and has excelled in her sport. She now plays with the Okanagan Allstars and is the only girl on the team.

When 10-year-old Sarah Paul laces up her skates to play hockey with the Okanagan Allstars, she is the only girl on the team. Paul started playing hockey three years ago, when her older brother Simon took up the sport. Before that, she had not even skated. “If he hadn’t joined hockey, I wouldn’t have,” she said. In the years following, she has progressed from being a novice skater to a dedicated, competitive player. “She always has a big smile when she’s playing,” her mother Monique Paul said. Last fall, when the Olympic team from Kazakhstan trained in Summerland, Paul was able to join them on the ice. She has also met Canadian Olympic hockey player Hayley Wickenheiser.

“Hayley is her biggest fan,” Monique Paul said, “and Sarah looks up to Hayley.” As her skill level improved, Sarah looked for greater challenges on the ice. Over the past year, she has played with a team of 12- and 13-year-old girls, but she is looking for further challenges. The right-winger anticipates the boys’ team will have a tougher level of hockey. Developing her skills as a hockey player has taken plenty of time and effort. Each day after school, she spends at least an hour a day on practices. She also attends two on-ice practices each week. “If she could, she would play for hours and hours,” Monique Paul said.

Principals train for Giant’s Head Run

TR FRE IA E L

With the Giant’s Head Run being just over a week away, it’s perfect timing to get in touch with this year’s headliners. Summerland principals Darcy Mullen from Giant’s Head Elementary School, Cal Johnson from Summerland Montessori School and Jeff Redden from Trout Creek Elementary School have been gearing towards this year’s 5.4-kilometre race on Saturday, June 7. The race will begin at 6 p.m. in front of the Library with a crowd upwards of 1000 participants. What sets these three headliners apart from the crowd? Let’s find out:

What is your inspiration in your training? Cal Johnson “As soon as this Principals Challenge was announced, I invited the students to train with me by running in our morning running club on Tuesday and Thursday. Thirty percent of our students have signed on, so I have no choice but to show up, and it’s been a lot of fun.” Jeff Redden (who has been plagued by a nasty foot injury) “My motto is ‘fight through the pain’. I walk my dog Milo twice a day, and I’ve been training with the students at Trout Creek during our school-wide runs, and riding my bike a

couple times a week. Does golf count?” Darcy Mullen “Just trying to keep active in each season. I haven’t been running (yet), but I have been riding my mountain bike a lot. I like to think of it as cross over training.” What are the most important aspects of health, fitness and racing for you? Cal Johnson “This friendly challenge has been great because it has encouraged the students from all three schools to get outside, run a little, and join in the fun. It has allowed us to model an active lifestyle and hopefully the children will be encouraged to par-

people to do it with, and get off the couch and do it!” Darcy Mullen “Being active and having fun. If it’s not fun, you won’t stay active.” If you feel inspired to take on a new challenge or join in on the fun with Summerland’s principals, you can register at runningroom.com or visit the Aquatic Centre to register in person. The spirit of this event is friendly, fun and with a good sense of humour. Get out and get active. Joanne Malar is a Summerland Parks and Recreation programmer and head coach for the ORCA Swim Team.

has taken her out of school for outof-town games and tournaments, but her teacher at Giant’s Head School has been supportive. The many out-oftown games mean she has homework for the classes she

misses, but she continues to be a straight-A student at the school. Sarah Paul plans to continue further as a hockey player. “I want to go as far as I can,” she said. “I want to play on Team Canada.”
