Skateboard site approved by John Arendt

WWW.SUMMERLANDREVIEW.COM

A skateboard park will be constructed on the northeast corner of the Summerland Secondary School property now that the Okanagan Skaha School District has given its approval to the project. The park is the result of a cooperative effort between the school district, the municipality and the Summerland Charity Shop Society —

Penny Lane. The park concept was presented to the school district by the charity shop’s board of directors last month. Linda Van Alphen, one of Summerland’s two school trustees, said the board gave unanimous approval to the site. The portion of school property set aside for the skateboard park has not been used as a playing

field in the past, she added. The society has pledged $275,000 for the work, but members of council hope to attract other partners to the project. Summerland has a skateboard park in place behind the Harold Simpson Memorial Youth Centre and near the Summerland Arena. This park, created in the mid-1990s, is dated, has a poor location and

is dangerous, members of council say. The new location, at the corner of Jubilee Road East and Rosedale Avenue, is a highly visible location. Now that the site has been approved, the municipality will put out a request for proposals to find a designer for the skateboard park. Bruce Hallquist, a member of municipal council and a member of

the charity shop’s board of directors, expects to see the park completed within a year. Mayor Janice Perrino said the new location will help to show Summerland as a community with amenities for children and youth. “This is something that will generate activity,” she said. Details of the new park, including the size and design, are not yet known.

The Summerland Fall Fair feature fruit and vegetables, baking and preserves, arts and crafts and much more.

Waterman seeks mayoral role by John Arendt

A Summerland municipal councillor will put his name forward in this fall’s mayoral race. Coun. Peter Waterman, a member of the present council and also a councillor from 2005 to 2008, announced his intention earlier this week. “I will lead a new council that will listen and respectfully discuss

issues with the public,” he said. “The public has demanded, time and again, that they want to be heard.” During his two terms on council, he has been involved in some major projects, including the site for the new Summerland Library building. “We’ve been desper-

ate for a new facility for at least 15 years,” he said. To create the new building, the Summerland Community Arts Council was displaced from the building they had occupied for 16 years. Waterman said it is important to find an appropriate long-term solution for the Arts Council.

He plans to focus on downtown economic growth for the community, working with the new library, Peter the arts and Waterman existing businesses. “We can create a downtown that will be

very lively,” he said. “I think we can create a mixture that will be amazing.” Over the past year, Waterman was the sole voice on council opposed to the municipality’s Urban Growth Strategy. The strategy is now before the provincial Agricultural Land Commission for review. See BID Page 6

Thank you! for giving my husband back.

Dan and Kate Whitney, Summerland, BC

For many years my husband avoided social gatherings claiming he ‘just wasn’t comfortable in crowds’. As his hearing loss became more apparent, we scheduled a free hearing test with Stephanie Sykes at NexGen Hearing. After a very comprehensive evaluation, the results revealed a high frequency loss and he was fitted with a pair of very discreet hearing aids. Thanks to the professional care my husband received, his restored hearing eliminated anxiety and gave him back his confidence! Thank you for giving my husband back! – Kate Whitney

After 35 years in local government work and two years as Summerland’s chief administrative officer, Tom Day will step down at the end of this year. He said his decision will allow him to enjoy life and pursue other interests. “Tom will be sadly missed,” said Mayor Janice Perrino. “He has been an outstanding CAO and a

tremendous asset for the District of Summerland.” Because Day’s retirement comes shortly after the new mayor and councillors take office, one of the first tasks the council will face will be hiring a new administrator. The new council will also appoint the acting administrator until a replacement is hired. Search consultants were brought in two

years ago when Day was hired. The search for an administrator took four months. During his time as Summerland’s administrator, he said he has improved the processes at municipal hall, increased accessibility and tightened the budget. In addition, he was involved in trimming the staff when cuts were made in January. The cuts came

because of the community’s slow growth rate, low reserve funds and a lack of public infrastructure projects. The reduction of six jobs was expected to save nearly $500,000. “It’s such a difficult decision affecting that many lives,” Day said. While he said the cuts were necessary, the decisions resulted in additional work for the rest of municipal staff.

Council to seek funding Money for water upgrades tops list of local concerns at UBCM by John Arendt Water and wildfire prevention will be among the topics of discussion when members of Summerland’s municipal council meet with provincial representatives at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention later this month. The conference will be held in Whistler Sept. 22 to 26. Mayor Janice Perrino said municipal representatives will meet with provincial representatives to discuss the third phase of Summerland’s water separation project. The separation is needed since the water treatment plant does not have the capacity to handle both irrigation and domestic water on the hottest days of the year. “We need one more phase to make sure we don’t need to use filtered water for irrigation,” Perrino said. When Summerland needs more water than the system can process, treated water is mixed with water which has not passed through the

treatment system. Because the water has not all been treated, water advisories are issued. Perrino said for the last two years, no water advisories have been issued because the treatment system was past capacity. The third phase of water system separation will ensure water advisories will not be needed in the future. Also related to Summerland’s water system, council will meet with the province to discuss changes to the province’s dam safety regulations. Because of the changes, Summerland needs roughly $400,000 to widen the Garnett Lake dam spillway to meet the present safety requirements. The strategic wildfire prevention initiative will also be discussed. Perrino said the initiative is needed in Summerland since the community is surrounded by forested areas, which can present fire hazard risks. A fourth item will be road surfacing improvements for Garnett Valley Road. Members of the public and members of council have noticed problems with the rough condition of this road.

Single-vehicle accident

Police, firefighters and paramedics were called to a single-vehicle accident on Highway 97 near Jones Flat Road on Thursday afternoon. Police say a Summerland motorist travelling south drifted to the left, struck the centre media and then veered left where he hit a light standard. The two occupants of the vehicle sustained minor injuries but refused to go to hospital. Cpl. Bruce Haley of the Summerland RCMP detachment said the reason for the accident is not known.

Business Methods Patents In the U.S., it is now possible to protect not only the products you sell by a patent but also the way you do business. The U.S. Patent Office now recognizes ABusiness Method Patents@. This patent allows a Company to protect successful methods of doing business. An example of this new patent law is found with Dell Computers. They have applied for and received a Business Methods Patent for their direct to consumer and build to order sales approach. Most people associate Patent Law and patents with tangible goods. This new area of Patent Law goes far beyond that. Given the pace of technology and the very high stakes in business these days, it is easy to see why business people are taking all the steps they can to protect themselves.

our pick

A team effort A new skateboard park for Summerland is in the works because of the combined efforts of a charity society, the municipality and the school board. The land for the park is on a portion of the Summerland Secondary School property, while $275,000 of the funding has been pledged by the Summerland Charity Shop Society — Penny Lane. The municipality will put out the request for proposals. While Summerland has had a skateboard park in place since the late 1990s, that facility is dated and it is considered unsafe by today’s standards. The new location will also have much better visibility than the existing skateboard park. While the new park will be important as a facility for Summerland’s youth, it is also important as a communitydriven initiative. This project is happening because several organizations have been working in harmony. Without the cooperation of the charity society, the municipality and the school board, this project could not happen. The collaborative effort shown so far should serve as an example for future community projects. Other efforts have worked for Summerland’s benefit in past years, and there are examples of collaborations, community fundraising initiatives and projects which came together as a result of teamwork. There will be opportunities for other united efforts in the years to come. Some of Summerland’s existing facilities will soon need to undergo upgrades or expansion work. Others are nearing the end of their lifespans. If cooperative efforts can be put in place, the upkeep and improvement of the community will be a smooth, comfortable process.

Summerlanders showed the best of their produce, arts and crafts at the 105th annual Summerland Fall Fair on the weekend. As in past years, thousands attended to see the entries and enjoy the entertainment. While all festivals require a degree of community involvement, the participation at the Fall Fair is remarkable

Off to school, and to court VICTORIA – Whatever cease-fire emerges from the latest round in the war for control of B.C.’s public school system, the next court battle is ready to proceed. Lawyers for the provincial government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation have filed their written submissions to the B.C. Court of Appeal. At issue is whether legislation removing union con- Tom Fletcher tract terms that dictated class size and teacher staff levels was a violation of members’ constitutional rights to freedom of association. When B.C. Supreme Court justice Susan Griffin found that it was, the government changed legislation again. The same judge ordered that struck down and the 2002 contract language reinstated retroactively for every contract since then, imposed or negotiated. The government says that would create chaos as well as billions in expenses, pushing out fullday kindergarten and other allocations of space and money that have proceeded since union control was removed. Griffin’s order is stayed pending this appeal. If you think the latest strike has been disruptive, you don’t want to see what this judge’s vision would look like. Government lawyers argue that the BCTF’s constitutional right claim is “wrong in law”

and amounts to a veto that blocks the province’s ability to legislate in response to changing conditions. “According to the BCTF, legislation may improve on collective agreement entitlements but cannot remove them over the objections of the union without violating [the Charter of Rights and Freedoms],” the government’s submission says. “On the BCTF’s theory, collective agreement entitlements become constitutionally protected in perpetuity.” What that would mean to voters is when they throw out an NDP government that handed the keys to the treasury to public sector unions, the unions can veto that too. And when mandated minimum teacher-librarians sitting in rooms full of paper books become the equivalent of buggy whip weavers, they must remain as long as the union wants. BCTF’s lawyers submit that the government is wrong in fact as well as law. Its arguments are technical, dwelling particularly on the fact that the government didn’t appeal Griffin’s first ruling. For instance, there have actually been two negotiated deals since 2002. The one in 2006 provided five years of raises and a bonus to get the government past the 2010 Olympics, and in 2012 there was a pre-election truce negotiated with the help of mediator Charles Jago. The government argues that re-imposing 2002 conditions would overturn other contracts

that were agreed to by the BCTF. BCTF’s lawyers say, in effect, the deleted terms covering working conditions weren’t there to negotiate. The Coalition of B.C. Businesses has entered the case as an intervener, arguing for the supremacy of elected governments when providing public services. Its submission notes that unlike private disputes, the right to strike is often curtailed in the public sector, and sometimes eliminated as in the case of police and health care. “When critical aspects of public policy are jeopardized by employee demands, those aspects could be legislated; where a fiscal downturn or inflationary pressures required austerity measures, they could be implemented through legislation; where strikes jeopardize important public services, the legislature could pass back-towork legislation, and so on.” It’s been obvious for many years that the BCTF doesn’t function like a normal union, and isn’t much interested in starting to do so. Its leadership sees itself as an agent of “social justice,” a belief demonstrated by its promotion of flawed poverty statistics and pronouncements on everything from U.S. labour law to conflict in the Middle East. Its decades-old instruction to government is blunt: raise taxes and give us the money. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Each fall, there are encounters with bears in the community. Too often, these incidents do not end well for the bears. While the bears are drawn to the community by the ripening fruit and grapes, garbage is also an attractant. When residents set out their garbage the night before collection, bears see it as an easy food source. Unless human behaviour changes and garbage is set out on the morning of the collection day, bears will continue to be a problem.

ICBC’s rate hike is unfair Dear Editor: I strongly object to ICBC’s planned five per cent rate increase to cover the rising costs of claims due to irresponsible distracted drivers. These drivers should be treated as impaired drivers, bearing the brunt of punitive legislation and rate increases. When will we responsible drivers get an equivalent rate decrease? I have had the same good driver discount as long as I have been eligible and yet, I have to pay the same rate increase every time the rates go up to cover the rising costs of claims of irresponsible drivers. Further, I drive no more than 12,000 kilometres per year,so I pay more per km for my insurance than the average driver that drives 25,000 km per year. Being on a

fixed income, and I mean fixed, I literally cannot afford to pay for irresponsible drivers. Let’s get serious with drivers who make a conscious choice to endanger the lives of other drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. In the case of consciously driving distracted the first offence should cost $500, three points and double for the next offense, plus five points and loss of license for three months for any offence after that. In the case of the conscious choice to drive distracted that results in death, a lifetime ban on driving. Forget the argument that the licence is need for work; driving is a matter of life and death and responsibility has a price. Laurie Rockwell Summerland

Dear Editor: It’s early September, time for a certain group of singers and musicians to start practising again. The weekly practices are more than the music; they are a great opportunity to enjoy new friendships, to challenge our ability and our memory, and to have the pleasure of working together to produce an entertaining performance. The Tune-Agers

will be offering Christmas concerts in Summerland and Penticton this December, and will be presenting their spring concerts in April 2015. If you would like to be part of all this, give Gordon Dawson a call at 250-4929844, or drop in at the Shatford Centre next Tuesday or Thursday. Peggy Whitley, Tune-Ager Summerland

Looking for excitement

Batman took a break from fighting crime in Gotham City to participate in the Summerland Fall Fair Parade. The pace may have been a bit slower than he was used to and it’s probably safe to say he would have welcomed a little more excitement, maybe something like the Test of Humanity mountain bike race, but unfortunately it hadn’t been established in 1968. It’s here now! The exciting event takes place on Sept. 21 and who knows, though we aren’t sure of his secret identity, maybe one of Batman’s grandchildren will be riding in the race.

Parliament resumes for fall sitting Next week the House of Commons will again be in session as the fall sitting gets underway with a heavy schedule from now until late December. While there will be many bills coming before the House, one of the more anticipated debates will on be the Reform Act of 2014, a Private Member’s Bill from my Conservative colleague MP Michael Chong. This bill has a number of democratic reform proposals in it that continues to generate a strong amount of feedback from citizens and is a debate that promises to be very engaging. From a local perspective I have had a number of responses on this Bill and will continue to provide updates on the progress of it in the House of Commons. Another important topic that may be the subject of debate is the deployment of a limited number of Canadian armed forces personnel to Iraq to work in a non combat capacity with American forces personnel advising Iraqi military forces. The purpose of this joint effort is to provide expertise on how Iraqi security forces can better protect innocent citizens against the threat of ISIL. The initial Canadian deployment is for 30 days and includes providing strategic and tactical advice to Iraqi forces but does not include a combat role. In response to the announcement the NDP raised concerns around mission creep while the Liberals

offered their support for the deployment. From my own perspective there is no question that the deplorable tactics and actions of terrorist groups against innocent civilians are serious and represent very real concerns to all Canadians. Canada has a long history of opposing tyranny and protecting innocent civilians from brutality and acts of terrorism. I also recognize that serious conflict is a subject that Canadians have diverse views on and should never be taken lightly. I will continue to provide updates on this subject and welcome comments and questions in this or any subject coming before the House of Commons. As I am soon off to Ottawa I would like to thank the many citizens, groups, organization and businesses that took the time to share concerns with me over my summer listening tour. This input was helpful for me and there are a number of items that I will be taking forward to Ottawa for follow up on as the fall session gets underway. Dan Albas is the MP for Okanagan Coquihalla.

B.C.’s striking teachers are expected to vote this week on a tentative settlement with the provincial government. Mediator Vince Ready announced the agreement early Tuesday morning, after five days of talks at a Richmond hotel. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the province’s negotiators agreed to withhold details until they have a final document to present, he said. With a ratification

vote of 40,000 union members expected to be held Thursday, the province’s 60 school districts are attempting to return to regular classes next week after five weeks of full-scale strike action that began last June. Education Minister Peter Fassbender has said a plan will be developed to make up missed instructional days, which could involve rescheduling Christmas and spring break. “This is wonderful news for the students, teachers, administrators, support staff, trustees

and parents in B.C.,” said B.C. School Trustees’ Association president Teresa Rezansoff. “The immediate goal is to get students back in classes as quickly as possible.” The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association was seeking a six-year agreement with wage increases of just over one per cent per year, in line with other settlements in the provincial public service. A fund to address class size and composition has been a key issue in the dispute.

Waterman’s decision comes a week after Mayor Janice Perrino announced she will not seek reelection this fall. This is Waterman’s second mayoral bid. In 2008, he ran unsuccessfully against Perrino,

receiving 1,651 votes to Perrino’s 2,183 votes. The municipal election will be held on Saturday, Nov. 15. Nominations will be accepted from Tuesday, Sept. 30 to Friday, Oct. 10.

We just want to make it bigger and better and have it more accessible to more people in the community,” said Jean Munro.

Although Munro is new to the program management position, she has been working with Recope for five years as the occupational therapist. Previously she only worked one day a week, but now will be at all of the Recope sessions, working three days per week. “Now I have the opportunity to do more with more therapy hours and to make sure people get the care and recommendations they need,” said Munro. She also has plans to offer staff and volunteers more education. The program has two fitness instructors that lead the classes, a change room assistant and six to

Recope changes

Jean Munro, the new program manager at Recope, is bringing in some changes to the rehabilitation program.

eight volunteers for each day. “It’s nice to provide a bit more education for these people so they can be my extra arms and have the skills to be able to help.” Recope has 115 members, but not everyone attends every session. On any given day there are an average of 50 people, with 35 being in the pool and the rest in the dry land class. This class is primarily a fall prevention class, offering a full body workout. Much of it is done in a chair, so the frail and elderly can manage it. “We’ve got people in this class who have been coming for years and honestly believe they would not still be walking if it wasn’t for coming and working out regularly,” Munro said. “There’s a real social dynamic as well. It’s the encouragement they give each other too.” Recope has a reputation as being something only for the older folks. Not so explained Munro. “We can provide a really great service for anyone who’s not feeling comfortable exercising because of some kind of medical condition.” This includes young people who may have had injuries or people who may be living with chronic pain. The program helps them to get moving again, to

stay active and to take charge of their health. Another aspect that the board of directors are looking at is how to increase their fundraising abilities.

“We get partial funding from Interior Health, partial funding from client fees, but we also depend on the community for both corporate and personal

donations to keep us afloat,” explained Munro. Together the Recope teams aim is to increase participation numbers and charitable donations

so they can serve the community even more effectively than they have in the past. They hope to have the website up and running early in the new year.

ask tHe pHarmacist Austin Ojala How to keep your medications working for you… Many Canadians live with multiple chronic illnesses and their medicine cabinets may be filling up as a result. In fact, almost two thirds of those aged 65 and over take five or more prescription drugs from different drug classes. It can be a real challenge, and pharmacists can be an important resource to help keep Canadians on track. Pharmacist Austin Ojala answers common questions about medication reviews, a vital service made available in Summerland. Q: What is a medication review? A: It is a personalized one-on-one meeting with a pharmacist to help you understand how to safely and effectively use your medications. During the discussion, you will have the opportunity to ask questions about your medications; gain peace-of-mind that you are taking your medications in the best way possible and better understand how each medication and how you take it contributes to your overall health. Q: When should I consider getting a medication review? A: Depending on the number of medications you take, it is generally recommended to have a medication review on an annual basis and more frequently if your medications change – similar to your annual physical with your doctor. This review can be done at any time during the year, but is especially recommended if you will be going to the hospital for a test or procedure, have recently been discharged from the hospital, have started taking a new medication or have any questions or concerns about how to take your medications. Q: How do I get a medication review? A: Getting a medication review is as easy as visiting your local pharmacist. Pharmacies have flexible hours - Shoppers Drug Mart in Summerland is open 8:30am-9pm Monday to Friday, 9am-6pm Saturday and 10am-6pm on Sunday- so you can find a suitable time for both you and the pharmacist. For more information, drop by your Shoppers Drug Mart in Summerland and speak with a pharmacist.

A resolution to amend Summerland’s Official Community Plan to add the Hunters Hill Neighbourhood Plan will go to a public hearing in October. The amendment adds the neighbourhood plan as a secondary document and designates the lands as rural residential. The proposed development is between Garnett Valley and Highway 97 and involves three separate land titles. The three properties are a total of 69 hectares and could accommodate 30 to 50 one-hectare lots. Two wetland areas have been identified in the area. The development of the plan began in August, 2013 and a formal application was made to the municipality in early July. At present, the land is zoned CR1Country Residential and A1-Agriculture Small Acreage. The Official Community Plan designation is Open Land. Because a portion of the land is within the Agricultural Land Reserve, the development will have to be referred to the provincial Agricultural Land Commission. Municipal administrator Tom Day said the development must include a statutory right of way for emergency vehicle access. Members of council had mixed thoughts

about the proposed development. Coun. Martin Van Alphen put forward a motion to defer the item, requesting more information from municipal staff. He said issues including the effects of irrigation water on the land must be considered. Mayor Janice Perrino said she would like a geotechnical report before the development proceeds. “This is a huge parcel of land,” she said. Coun. Bruce Hallquist added that the financial implications of the development must also be examined. Coun. Orv Robson said the area would be ideal for rural residential development. “I see it as being a benefit to our community,” he said. “I think it’s going to be ideal.” A motion to approve the first three readings of the amendment and to take it to a public hearing was supported, with Perrino opposed. At a special council meeting on Monday morning, council passed a resolution to add a technical review section to the neighbourhood plan. The technical review includes the need to realign and upgrade Sanborn Road from Bentley Road to the entrance of the proposed development site, water modelling for the plan and a geotechnical and drainage analysis. The public hearing will be held at the Oct. 14 council meeting.

Bear awareness urged in fall season

Hungry bears returning to low lands in search of food for winter

It is the time of year for bears to return to the low lands and residential interface areas looking for fast ways to fatten up for their long winter’s nap. Bears enter a hyperphasia stage at this time which means they are ‘extra’ driven to search out high caloric and fatty meals – up to 24,000 calories a day. People accidentally provide a feast for bears at this time of year. If bears have access to fast food refuse packets, they are likely to return again and be less motivated to harvest their own natural food in the wilderness. Some residents place garbage out to the curb the evening prior or a day before pick-up and many garbage cans and bags are filled with a bounty of pungent summertime leftovers. Residential fruit trees are weighed down with overripe fruit. Walnuts and hazelnuts are ripening, composters are brimming with vegetable trimmings and home canning flotsam and jetsam. No habituated bear would pass up this densely packed smorgasbord. Habituated bears are desensitized to the sights and sounds of humans, urban noises and are comfortable foraging in our backyards and neighbourhoods. WildSafeBC urges residents to re-evaluate and modify their habits. o Keep garbage

secure and sealed tightly. Place garbage and recycling to the curb on the morning of pick up. (You can freeze smelly foodstuffs and place in garbage on garbage day). See http:// w w w. r d o s . b c . c a / departments/publicworks/wildsafe-bcbear-aware/ o Make sure your compost is working – digesting the plant material and consists of the correct ratio of

browns and greens. See http://www. rdosmaps.bc.ca/ min_bylaws/ES/ solid_waste/Newsletters/Easy_Compost_Front.pdf o Pick all urban fruit and nut trees as soon as possible. Keep the area clear of fallen and rotting fruits. o Keep birdfeeders and suet cages in storage until December. Give bears, other

large wildlife or predators no reason to loiter in your neighbourhood. Purposely feeding wildlife is an offence. Allowing wildlife access to unnatural food sources and to hang around your property may bring harm to you and your neighbours. Problem wildlife should be reported to the Conservation Officer Reporting Line: 1-877-952-7277

This fall, WildSafeBC volunteers will be conducting garbage audits These audits will be conducted the evening before garbage day.

Garbage cans placed out early will be tagged with bright yellow sticker tags, photos and addresses will be noted for educational follow up.

Summerland Municipal Hall will carry information materials on all types of Wildlife, and provide timely reminders in utility mailers.

Local governments in the Okanagan Valley are urged to begin regional water management planning now and avoid acrimony in the future, when drought conditions threaten supplies. The warning came from environmental law professor Deborah Curran from the University of Victoria, one of the advisors involved in creation of the province’s new Water Sustainability Act, legislation passed earlier this year. She was speaking at the annual meeting of the Okanagan Basin Water Board in Kelowna. Water sustainability planning provides a home-grown solution to satisfying different water needs within a region, and she recommended that local communities begin discussions now toward a plan that will evolve over time, but which would be in place “before the ditches run dry.” Such plans would take the place of falling back on traditional water rights, with groups and individuals agreeing on what would happen to water resources under different scenarios, such as drought, she explained. These plans would be based on ensuring that the region’s economy doesn’t suffer under different water-related stressors. Curran warned civic politicians and staff that changes are coming as regulations for the new act are implemented, and it will mean local governments must now consider water in making land use decisions.

She recommended local governments consult hydrologists to ensure water is used as one of the filters on decisionmaking. She said there will be provision for the province to restrict the number of dwellings on a parcel of land in an area where there is limited water available, for example. As well, she said that under the act, the environment’s needs for water must be considered, particularly where fish are concerned. She noted that since the Okanagan is the driest part of the province, water issues here are the most acute in the province. Either local governments can work together to come to agreements about sustainable water use, or the province can impose them, she added. “The process is up to you.” Agriculture water reserves could be part of such water management plans, she said. New groundwater regulations will be the first to come into force as part of the new act, and they’re slated to be introduced April 1, 2015. Large users will be the focus at first. Up to now, groundwater use in B.C. has been unregulated. All licences, groundwater and new and existing surface water licences will be subject to review after 30 years, instead of being permanent, she warned. Curran said urban water use, such as on lawns and outdoor landscapes, has to be reduced.

Ask Your Dentist...

I have dentures and really don’t like them. Is there any way I can just get teeth that I don’t have to take out at night? Anonymous

Dr. Cindee Melashenko

A: Yes. Dental implants are titanium

anchors that are placed in your bone. Once healed, they can anchor whatever type of teeth you choose. There are three basic ways to anchor your teeth: 1. Teeth cemented on implants; 2. Teeth screwed into the implants; 3. Dentures (without a cover on the roof of your mouth) supported by an implant bar that is fixed in place but can be removed by you to clean. Your dentist can help you with deciding which option is best for you. It is important for it to look good and that often depends on how much bone you have (usually the longer you have been without your teeth, the less bone you have). If your bone has receded, a denture will help provide support for your lips which can make you look younger. If you like the look of the denture but don’t want it to come out at all, it can be fixed right onto the implants. If you have lots of bone, porcelain teeth cemented on implants can look very natural. With anything fixed in place, hygiene (or keeping it clean) can present a real challenge. Water piks, rinses, and a good visit with your hygienist are very helpful in maintaining healthy gums. We’re here to help in any way we can. Feel free to call, stop by, or send us an e-mail message. We are always accepting new patients and I’d be happy to answer your question in the next article (anonymously if desired). Have a great week!

Forest fire help tops communities’ wish list by Tom Fletcher Black Press

Coming through one of the most expensive forest fire seasons in the province’s history, the B.C. government is being asked to renew its fund for local governments to create safe zones around their communities. A resolution to extend wildfire prevention funding tops the list for the Union of B.C. Municipalities

convention, set for Sept. 22-26 in Whistler. It was sponsored by the OkanaganSimilkameen Regional District, where fire crews are battling the latest major forest fire near Princeton. The province’s wildfire prevention fund was established 10 years ago in the wake of the damaging 2003 fire season, with $37 million for a cost-sharing program. Another $25 million was provid-

ed in 2011 and that money has all been committed for local forest fuel management projects. The B.C. government estimates it will spend $350 million on wildfire control by the end of this season. That was exceeded in 2003 and in 2009, the most costly season for the province with $382 million spent. Other resolutions given priority by the UBCM executive: o Langley City is calling on the province to provide a cost recovery model for medical assistance calls to its fire rescue service. Nearly four out of five calls

received are for medical assistance. In response to a previous request, the province told UBCM its local firefighters are not required to respond to medical calls. o The City of Victoria wants to discuss the province’s changes to the Agricultural Land Commission. Nelson, Coldstream and the Central Kootenay Regional District have presented similar resolutions, calling for more consultation before changes are implemented. o Northern and central B.C. municipalities object to the province’s proposal to cap industrial tax

rates for properties used in liquefied natural gas developments. The B.C. government has complained previously about high industrial taxes imposed on the forest products industry. o The province’s new recycling regulations have prompted a resolution on behalf of small communities without recycling programs. The FraserFort George Regional District is calling for recycling collection services to be offered wherever fees are being collected from retailers for packaging and printed paper products.

Council hopeful holds penny poll One potential candidate in the November municipal election is asking the public to help him decide whether to run for the mayor’s role or a councillor position. Christopher Boisvert-Gilman said he plans to run in the municipal election on Nov. 15, but he has not decided whether to run as a councillor candidate or a mayoral candidate. To help him decide, he has set

up a penny poll, using two coin banks. His poll asks people if they would like to retire the mayor or the councillors. “I felt there was a need to hear from the people directly,” he said. When his poll reaches 500 votes, he will decide whether to file papers to run as a mayoral or councillor candidate. He estimates more than 250 people have participated in his poll.

Charity run raises more than $7,000 Sunny skies, warm weather, and a great cause brought almost 200 Summerland residents out on Sunday to run, walk, wheel and ride in the 34th Annual Terry Fox Run. It was one of the strongest showings of community support for the event, with 194 participants and 40 volunteers. Photos can be found on the event’s Facebook page, Terry Fox Run 2014 – Summerland. The event raised just over $7,000, bringing the cumula-

tive total that Summerland has raised for the Terry Fox Foundation to over $55,000. The atmosphere was both upbeat and reflective as participants spoke of family members and friends for whom they were running or walking. Participants also had the opportunity to write words of encouragement and remembrance on the large ‘I’m Running For…’ poster. Several Terry’s Team volunteers, identified by their red shirts, were on hand

to greet participants throughout the event. These individuals, all of whom are cancer survivors, offered hope and inspiration, much like Terry Fox himself. The Summerland Fire Department, along with Sparky the Fire Dog, were on hand to start the event. The ORCA Swim Club hosted the one-kilometre walk around the downtown core. In addition to businesses and organizations which sponsored the event, volunteers helped to set

up, register participants, serve refreshments and mark the one-kilometre, threekilometre and fivekilometre routes. Nine Summerland Secondary School students were on hand to help with route marshalling and traffic control. This is the last year Keith Johnson served as the coordinator of the Summerland Terry Fox Run. He has coordinated the run for the past five years. Next year’s run will be held Sunday, Sept. 20.

Run organizer

After five years as the coordinator of Summerland’s Terry Fox Run, Keith Johnson is stepping down from the role. Heather and Mike Cook will organize next year’s event.

Ride raises money for African aid A mountain bike event later this month will provide money for humanitarian work in Ethiopia. The fourth annual Test of Humanity mountain bike event will be held Sept. 21, beginning at 9 a.m. The course can be accessed from Morrow Avenue. Riders will range from beginning cyclists to members of the Canadian national team. Up to 200 cyclists will participate. Sheilagh Seaton, who is organizing the event with her husband Nic, said last year’s event raised almost $50,000 for Canadian Humanitarian. The money will help to build a school with a residence in Ethiopia. “It’s a good way for people to have fun and at the same time to help people overseas,” she said.

In addition, the event will collect contributions for the Summerland Food Bank. Seaton, who teaches at Okanagan College, said the idea for the ride began when she took students from an economic development course to Ethiopia in 2009. After that trip, the Seatons looked for a way to help people in Ethiopia. The day will begin with events for younger cyclists in the morning. Those from three to six years of age will ride half an hour of a half-kilometre loop. Cyclists from seven to 10 will ride one hour on a one-kilometre loop. Those from 11 to 15 will spend twohours on a five-kilometre loop. The main event, at 11:30 a.m., will have adult cyclists on a 10-kilometre loop for four hours.
