YOUR SMILE If everything is coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.

Candidates vow to listen Communication and openness emphasized during forum by John Arendt Many of the candidates running for positions on Summerland’s municipal council promised to listen to the community as they responded to questions at a forum on Tuesday evening. The all candidates forum was held in the Summerland Secondary School gymnasium and drew a crowd of around 600 people. It was sponsored by the Summerland Chamber of Commerce and the Summerland Review. The five mayor candidates and 15 of the 16 councillor candidates were present. Councillor candidate Marty Fisher was sick and unable to attend.

Throughout the evening, candidates were asked their positions on a variety of topics including land and growth, economic development, arts funding and infrastructure needs. For mayoral candidate Christopher Boisvert-Gilman, his answers often returned to the need for a unified community. “We need to get together as a group and figure out solutions,” he said. “As long as we’re divided, we’re not going to solve the problems.” Peter Waterman, also seeking the mayor ’s role said he will initiate a mayor’s task force to examine Summerland’s economy. He added that his decision to vote against the Urban Growth Plan was done with the community’s interests in mind. The growth plan called

for the removal of 80.34 hectares from the Agricultural Land Reserve close to the core of the community while adding 91.7 hectares in the Prairie Valley area to the land reserve. The plan received strong opposition and a petition signed by around 1,200 Summerlanders was presented to council. “I voted for you in the struggle against the land swap,” Waterman said. Mayoral candidate Roch Fortin said he would like to revisit the land exchange. “Are there better options or compromises that can be achieved?” he asked. David Gregory, a candidate for mayor, said it is time to focus on Summerland’s financial statements, which show a $28 million debt, “due to infrastructure and infrastructure errors.” Mayoral candidate

Orv Robson said growth is needed in the community. “Summerland’s prosperity is vital,” he said. “Our community needs to keep moving forward.” Among the councillor candidates, all agreed on the importance of good communication. “There will be no good excuse for councillors who have betrayed the trust of the voters and have not listened to them,” said councillor candidate John Dorn. He also said the question period at the council meetings should be held before the end of the meeting. Councillor candidate Ken Rodocker shared this concern, suggesting that the question period should be moved to the beginning of the regular meetings. “People want a say in the issues that affect

them,” said councillor candidate Doug Holmes. “Public engagement produces collaboration.” Others also spoke of the importance of good communications. “The point is to improve Summerland, to make it better,” said councillor candidate Erin Carlson. “To do that, the council has to listen to Summerlanders.” Earlier this year, Carlson was a vocal opponent of the Urban Growth Plan. “The best part of communication is listening,” said councillor candidate Joel Gregg. “I’m here to listen and to serve you.” Several of the candidates, including Richard Barkwill and Toni Boot, suggested reinstating municipal committees which have been disbanded in recent years.

Fire training centre approved by John Arendt

A new training facility will allow Summerland firefighters to train in the community rather than out of town. The facility will be constructed at a site on Shale Avenue. It will include a training building, a classroom and a training prop area. “We’re restricted by the facilities we use to train in,” Fire Chief Glenn Noble said. “We want to move our training to a higher standard.”

The Summerland Fire Department has three career firefighters and 28 auxiliary firefighters. All are required to take regular train-

Robert Hacking said the proposal approved on Oct. 27 was less expensive than some of the options presented earlier. See COST Page 3

Food donations

Students from Summerland Middle School collected 332 kilograms of food for the Summerland Food Bank during their Halloween dance on Friday.

Accessibility and dialogue promised Continued from Page 1

Bruce Hallquist, a member of the present council, said the municipality has a website and a Facebook page. A question per-

iod is held after each regular council meeting. In addition, he said those at the table are accessible. “We are all as close as our phones and

emails,” he said. Robert Hacking, another incumbent councillor, said the municipality’s website should be improved. He added that he

would like to see the referendum process instead of the alternate approval process used for big decisions. Councillor candidate Denise MacDonald said the public needs to communicate with the council members. “We need the community and the people to tell us over and over what you want,” she said. Erin Trainer, a councillor candidate, said if elected she will be present in the community in order to hear from the public. She will also maintain her social media accounts and set up blogs in order to better communicate. Daniel Papadopolous said he is out and about in the community. He also suggested the municipality distribute community bulletins, newsletters and other information to the public.

Councillor candidate Janet Peake said communication with the community is essential for a municipal government. “Public engagement is really important,” she said. Councillor candidate Mark Smed said the role of a council member is not only about presenting one’s own platforms and opinions to the public. “It’s also about listening,” he said. “Apathy is very high and voter turnout is low.” Martin Van Alphen, an incumbent councillor, said he will listen before forming an opinion. “I am always approachable,” he said. “Sometimes I just don’t agree.” The election will be held on Saturday, Nov. 15 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Summerland Secondary School and Giant’s Head Elementary School. Advance polling is

on Wednesday, Nov. 12 from 8 a.m. to 8

p.m. at Municipal Hall.

Police rePort Driver prohibited On Oct. 30 at 5:15 p.m., Summerland RCMP received a complaint about an erratic driver travelling south from West Kelowna to Summerland. The driver was stopped near Rosedale Avenue in Summerland. Police say the 44-year-old Okanagan Falls woman was a prohibited driver. Her vehicle was impounded and she faces charges of driving while prohibited. She will appear in court at a later date.

Halloween quiet

Police responded to a few minor incidents on Halloween. One youth was charged with being in possession of liquor. Two youths, in possession of marijuana and with a backpack containing fireworks, were stopped and turned over to their parents. One house on Prior Place was egged.

Deer struck

On Monday at 6:51 a.m., police were called after a motorist struck a deer on Highway 97 near Bentley Road. The deer died and the car received extensive damage from the accident.

thefts reported

On Nov. 3, police received four reports of thefts from motor vehicles. The thefts occurred on Giant’s Head Road, Swallowbeck Avenue and Gartrell Road. The incidents are still under investigation.

Keys found

A set of keys were found on Giant’s Head Road last week and were turned in to the Summerland RCMP detachment. Police say the keys appear to be residential or business keys.

On the trail

Members of the Summerland Trans Canada Trail Society invited candidates for mayor and councillor roles to walk a portion of the trail on Thursday. The purpose of the hike was to explain the importance of the trail and the needs of the trail society.

Cost reductions possible through sole sourcing Continued from Page 1

The facility will have a value of $722,183. Since the land is municipally owned, the municipality’s cash requirement for this facility is $372,183. At a special council meeting on Friday afternoon, council chose to sole source the earthworks, water, sewer and electrical service if those services can be

acquired at a lower cost. Don Darling, director of engineering and public works, said the price difference by going with sole sourcing for the earthworks portion of the project is significant. “It’s about a $20,000 savings,” he said, explaining that the cost would be around $10,000, rather than $30,000 as originally expected.

nagan. He said there is a need to improve portions of the trail,

especially near the Fenwick trailhead. Signs identifying the trail also need to be

improved, he said. In the future, the trail society would also like to see the

trail extend to Penticton. At present, there is a 14-kilometre gap

between Summerland and Penticton which has not been resolved.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Computers and the Law Computers and the new software and technology that has accompanied them have had a huge impact on all our daily lives. Well, the Legal system is no different. Computers now occupy most Lawyer's desks and absolutely all of our Secretary's Desks. In addition to revolutionizing word processing and research techniques, computers and their related technologies have created a huge new range of questions to be answered in the fields of Privacy, Publishing, Censorship and Trademarks to name a few. It will be some time before Courts can decide on the parameters and rules to be put in place to govern these areas. Many people in the legal community have realized that the technology is changing and expanding so fast that the game may change before the rules are in place. Lets hope that the new technology not only raises the questions but also helps the system quickly determine the answers.

EDITORIAL

our pick

A time to remember On Tuesday morning, Summerlanders will gather at the cenotaph in Memorial Park to observe Remembrance Day. The 11 a.m. ceremony is a time to remember those who died while in military service and to reflect on the effects of war on those who served, those in affected areas and on the families and friends of those who died or were injured. During World War I, 628,736 Canadians served. Of these, 66,573 died in action and 138,116 were wounded. In World War II, 1,031,902 men and 49,963 women served. There were 44,927 Canadians who died in action and 53,145 who were wounded. Canada has also has a presence in Korea, peacekeeping operations, Afghanistan and Iraq. Summerland’s cenotaph has the names of 36 men and one woman who died in World War I and 24 men who died in World War II. It is important to remember those who served and those who died as a result of war. It is equally important to take steps to avoid similar conflicts from arising in the future. These steps include learning to resolve small disputes quickly and amicably and learning to keep disagreements from turning into hostilities. These are steps for all to take, not just for those in positions of power or leadership, and they are measures which must be remembered throughout the year. A look at history, even during the past century, will yield examples where unresolved disputes have escalated into destructive and tragic wars. Any measures which can help to prevent further conflicts from arising need to be examined.

Throughout the school year, the Giant’s Head Breakfast for Learning Program provides students with a nutritious start to their day. The program, now in its 14th year, depends on dedicated volunteers. Students who participate receive a good meal, some time to meet with others and some instruction about good nutrition. The children who benefit are fortunate to have this program.

Hot gases spew from legislature VICTORIA – The climate debate, which all left-thinking people insist is over, has erupted in the B.C. legislature over our nascent liquefied natural gas industry. Chilliwack-Hope B.C. Liberal MLA Laurie Throness heated things up by announcing that he’s “agnostic” on the subject of human-caused global warming. The religious terminology is Tom Fletcher intentional, he said, because this is how climate change is currently discussed – deniers, believers and so on. Throness mentioned the inflated elephant in the room, 18 years with little or no average global surface temperature rise, even as greenhouse gas emissions keep rising around the world. Needless to say, Green Party MLA and climate scientist Andrew Weaver was aghast at this heresy. And NDP MLAs lined up behind former Sierra Club high priest George Heyman to ridicule Throness, inadvertently proving his point about their rather nasty religious zeal. I’m also skeptical on global warming, as regular readers will know, and so are many voting adults in Canada and elsewhere. And I agree with Throness’ main point that B.C. shouldn’t sacrifice its energy economy

while the jury is still out. Most politicians who presume to decide the fate of this vital and threatened industry have at best visited a well or plant site, and media information about the industry is often from questionable protesters. So today I’d like to provide some background on the natural gas industry, as someone who grew up with it and worked in it in northeastern B.C. Natural gas is mostly methane, the main ingredient in farts. It is many times more potent than carbon dioxide as a heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere, which is one reason it is often flared rather than vented if it isn’t captured for use as fuel. Raw natural gas may contain carbon dioxide, a key plant food and component of exhaled breath that has been rebranded as pollution. Gas from the Horn River Basin, one of B.C.’s largest deep shale formations, contains 10 per cent or more CO2, more than conventional gas. B.C.’s most lucrative gas field is the Montney shale around Fort St. John, which contains nearly CO2-free gas as well as light petroleum liquids. (This is similar to the Bakken shale in North Dakota, where American roughnecks continue to burn off vast amounts of gas to get at the more valuable light liquids. Oddly, President Barack Obama and former Can-

adian singer Neil Young don’t notice this.) Weaver and the NDP are correct in their main objection, which is that the B.C. government’s new limits on CO2 from LNG production are a sham. As much as 70 per cent of the total greenhouse gas emissions from the gas industry occur before the LNG stage, which is the only thing the new rules regulate. CO2 that comes up with gas is extracted and vented. A government-subsidized pilot project to capture and store CO2 at Spectra Energy’s operations at Fort Nelson seems to be going nowhere. Restricting LNG-related emissions is mostly a cosmetic gesture. Environment Minister Mary Polak correctly notes that gas producers pay carbon tax. Yes, but only on the fuel they use, not “process emissions” such as flaring. Big LNG proponents plan to burn more gas to compress and cool LNG, and their greenhouse gas emissions beyond a certain limit will force them to buy carbon offsets or pay into a technology fund. If LNG investment isn’t scared away by protests and piled-on taxes, it surely means B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets are history. The question now is how much that actually matters.

bad apples The behaviour of some in the audience at a recent candidate forum was completely unacceptable. While candidates were giving their statements or answering questions, a few were commenting to their neighbours, loudly enough to be heard by others. This is disrespectful to the candidates and to all who were present. If the community wants a council that will listen to the public for the next four years, it is important to show the same courtesy and listen to the candidates.

ALR application should proceed Dear Editor: Unfortunately the Urban Growth Strategy that was formulated over the past year or so and presently before the Agricultural Land Commission seems to have become the focal point of many of the candidates running for election. It appears that a good number of candidates have publicly declared they will withdraw the application. Why would they alienate the commission by squashing this plan before they make their ruling? Doesn’t this really mean they do not require the land commission to be involved in our community planning, ever again. This is ridiculous! What about the folks who participated in the Urban Growth Workshops and Surveys last year? Don’t their opinions matter?

Are these candidates afraid the land commission will agree in some form that urban growth should actually occur in some of these areas that are already serviced as opposed to natural hillsides? Are we going to tie up these serviced areas for ever, and extend a sewer system when we are only using a small portion of the pipe already in place? Do people actually think we can afford that? I believe this election is pivotal. We either elect a slate of unknown one-issue people and suffer the consequences for not just four years, but generations, or we continue with an experienced core that can carry on with the programs in place such as cost control, water separation, Garnett Valley system replacement, road upgrades, etc. Friends are asking

orah Cohen, MD, in her book, A Big Fat Crisis, the U.S. food industry spent $9.65 billion on food advertising in 2009. Don’t kid yourself, these businesses know how to get to all of us, including our kids. Unregulated manipulation has led to stupid restaurant serving sizes, unhealthy fast food “combo” meals, candy at the pharmacy and hardware store checkout, junk food inundating the ends of every grocery aisle — basically, the scientific and unrelenting breakdown of our limited barriers to this food assault. This industry exploits our DNA and they are winning. Our collective loss (no pun intended) has brought chronic diseases that come with

me, “Who should I vote for?” They have never heard of many of the candidates and I certainly haven’t seen many of them on planning committees or community volunteer groups. Also, I would think to seriously run for municipal office, a candidate should have a number of years in the background in order to at least partially understand the issues. For those that want change, even if all the incumbents get reelected there will still be three new faces at the table. I am sure there is a lot more to operating this community than one issue or collecting friends on Facebook and Twitter. Most importantly though, be sure to vote. Only 37 per cent of us did in the last election. That`s embarrassing. Don Hudgeon Summerland

Junk food industry exploits our DNA Dear Editor: I don’t think it’s a secret that we are getting fatter as a society. However, I’m surprised to find that many people simply think this problem is a lack of personal responsibility — some kind of individual weakness. The fact is, we are hardwired to eat, and this, in combination with our current dysfunctional food environment, has led to our epidemic of obesity. I’m happy to read Dr. Brian Goldman’s recent editorial in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. In the piece he discusses regulating certain junk food like we do tobacco. For too long we have stood by and allowed food marketers to hijack our health in the name of profits. According to Deb-

the soaring obesity rates, and this costs tremendous pain and dollars. We need to quit worrying about corporate freedom and free market forces in the food and beverage industry. These forces are taking advantage of us. We need to quit thinking we can just exercise some more or show better personal control. Just like our societies had to fight for such things as clean water, sanitation, clean air, auto safety, and alcohol and tobacco control, we need to intervene against the corporate food industry powers for our greater good. Let’s demand this regulation from our government. Paul Girard, Physical Therapist Summerland

The trenches in World War I. In June of 1916 Percy Holder (far left) wrote, “I received the parcel from the Home Comfort Club. Please accept my thanks for same. It is nice to be remembered by the people at home.” Percy was killed in November while serving with the 19th Battalion, bombing section. He never made it home, but the people of Summerland remember… we remember.

Continuous growth is short-term thinking Dear Editor: Back in 1972, a number of young scientists from MIT decided to research what was in store for humanity if we stayed on the road to continuous consumption or growth (in Summerland’s case, farmland depletion) without replenishing what we took from the earth’s resources. One of the researchers, Donella Meadows was an optimist. She made the assumption that “if you put enough of the right information in people’s hands, they would ultimately go for the wise, the farsighted, the humane

solution — that is, adopting the global policies that would avert overshoot (or, failing that, would ease the world back from the brink).” Jorgen Randers, the other author of Limits to Growth, was a cynic. He believed that humanity would “pursue short-term goals of increased consumption, employment, and financial security to the bitter end, ignoring the increasingly clear and strong signals until it [would] be too late.” Summerland is a small place, relatively speaking, but we have among us

certain persons who demand that we continue to promote the theory of continuous growth, that if we want to survive we must do so by continually expanding. They think continued growth is sustainable. They believe that putting homes where apples, or grapes, or trees are growing makes economic sense. This is temporary, short-term thinking that fills the pockets of developers, but leaves the burden of long-term costs to be borne by the rest of the community. This is wishful thinking.

Continued growth is not sustainable, whether in a small place like Summerland, or in a larger city like Kelowna. Think about it. Are your taxes going to go down just because we have another residential development in town? Not likely. But if you pave over our valuable farm land not only will your taxes increase, any chances of a future source of food won’t be available either. Above all, if we wish to survive, we must protect our sources of food production. Frank Martens Summerland

for the second water line for irrigation. A preliminary monthly charge of $35.82 is to be paid starting January 2015. 2. The monthly consumption volume covered by the monthly fee. A consumption of 35.55 square metres is suggested by the district as an average monthly water allotment. 3. The final cost for the supply and installation of a Water Meter now indicated to be between $1,500 and $2,000. 4. The final date for affected property owners to have or not to have metered second water service. Note: the last March request was intended to get preliminary numbers. The following is recommended for the close to 300 affected property owners to do during the coming weeks: o Write a letter to the editor of the Summerland Review and to the new mayor and new councillors.

o Complete the upcoming district questionnaire and attend open houses on the subject. Parts to be highlighted could include: o The non-logical charge of a irrigation fee for months where second line water is not available. o Absorption of the cost for the supply and installation of the second water line meter by the District as promised in the past by district officials. o Increased risk of grass or forest fire on non-irrigated properties resulting in more firefighting costs. o Less attractive look of a non-irrigated property may bring lower value assessment and a property tax reduction. o Many of the affected properties are owned by seniors or people trying to grow fruit and vegetables in order to lower their living costs.

Gregory studied fruit business Dear Editor: I wish to respond to Coun. Lloyd’s Christopherson’s comments (Oct. 30) regarding the loss of Kettle Valley Dried Fruit business, during my term as mayor. When this issue first came to council, I studied it intensely. Strangely, there was no evidence of any effort to expand their business on the highway. The manager had returned to his home town, St. Catharines, Ont. The Ontario government provided the manager with a grant of $884,570 to form the Niagara

Natural Fruit Snacks Company. The company itself, Kettle Valley Dried Fruits, had been bought by U.S. based SunOpta in 2003, several years earlier. The American federal and state governments provided grants to SunOpta to improve their Omak, Wash. operations. Kettle Valley Dried Fruits Company was not offered any provincial grants to remain in Summerland. Sorry, Lloyd, I didn’t buy your arguments then or now. David Gregory Summerland

If growth happens too quickly, the result will be “horrific urban sprawl,” he said. Other candidates talked about their disappointment with the proposed Urban Growth Plan, which would remove from the Agricultural Land Reserve more than 80 hectares of land near the core of the community, replacing it with more than 90 hectares in the Prairie Valley area. “The proposed land swap is the biggest issue that faces Summerland today,” said councillor candidate Richard Barkwill. “The land swap is a bad deal for the taxpayers of Summerland.” Councillor candidate Doug Holmes also opposed the plan, which he says does not fit with Smart Growth principles. John Dorn, a councillor candidate, described the growth plan as a “land swap fiasco.” “Building houses

on high-value agricultural land in hopes that they will come makes no sense,” he said. While opposed to the growth plan, Dorn said he supports a task force to examine the community’s economy. Mayoral candidate David Gregory said he would work to rescind the application to remove land from the ALR. “Agricultural land should be preserved,” he said, adding that residential growth

should take place on hillsides. Councillor candidate Erin Carlson, a vocal opponent of the growth plan earlier this year, also wants growth on the hillsides instead of on flat agricultural land. Peter Waterman, an advocate for preserving agricultural land, said he would work to withdraw the ALR application. Councillor candidate Toni Boot also said she would work to withdraw the land reserve application.

Mayoral candidate Christopher Boisvert-Gilman said agricultural land, once developed, cannot be returned to farm use. “Once it’s paved over and we start growing houses, there’s no going back,” he said. Councillor candidate Mark Smed

VAN ALPHEN, Martin (Marty) for Municipal Councillor

Growth and future land use, both hotbutton topics for at least the past year, were discussed at an all-candidates forum at Centre Stage Theatre last week. The forum was organized by Penticton-based Locals Supporting Locals. All five mayoral candidates and 13 of the 16 councillor candidates were present. Marty Fisher and incumbents Bruce Hallquist and Martin Van Alphen were absent. Responses were divided between those arguing for growth in the community and those opposed to the proposed Urban Growth Plan. “I want to see us all prosper together,” said councillor candidate Joel Gregg. “If we’re not growing, we’re dying. There is no middle ground.” Mayoral candidate Orv Robson said the community’s growth rate has been one half of one per cent a year since 1996. “We have to grow, and to grow we have to bring in families,” he said. “Growth is what makes communities flourish, and we need to have growth.” “We have to look at what’s going to grow our community in Summerland,” said mayoral candidate Roch Fortin. Daniel Papadopoulos, a councillor candidate, spoke of the need to draw younger families and improve the downtown. Councillor candidate Janet Peake also said efforts are needed downtown. “I want to help to revitalize Summerland’s downtown,”

expressed his concerns with the costs of expansion compared to the revenue it will bring. Erin Trainer, a candidate for councillor, said it is important for the new council to look for opportunities and compromises. “Summerland’s problems are real,” she said. “We can find solutions.” Councillor candidate Denise MacDonald said it is important to to have community support for any major project and for council to have a clear vision. “Let’s plan and be prepared for the next wave of change coming our way,” she said. Ken Rodocker said it is important to examine the land plan before making a decision on whether to support or oppose it. “We spent the money. What have

Poppy presentation Immune Support tool kIt

Yes, Flu shots are very important. It’s also important to remember that the influenza vaccine protects you from the flu only. We get many stories from clients who say something to the tune of: “I got the flu shot but I still got sick”. The tricky bit is that flu symptoms can also be symptoms of other viruses or illnesses. For example, aches and chills are a flu symptom but, in another context, are also a symptom that you’ve crashed your snowmobile through a frozen lake. That’s an extremely simplified example and a good majority of folks can work out the difference between catching hold of the flu and a wintertime auto wreck. Many, however, are not clear on the differences between symptoms of a bad cold and influenza. The upshot of this being the misconception that the flu shot didn’t work. To help protect you during winter cold and flu season, here is an immune support tool kit to help ramp up your immune system against germs which proliferate at this time of year. 1. Sambuguard- This liquid features a number of ingredients which will help fortify your immune system and prevent infection. If you already have the flu or a cold, Sambuguard is also clinically proven to shorten duration of symptoms. 2. Echinacea- Specifically echinacea purpurea can modestly reduce cold symptom severity and duration. In some studies symptom severity and duration was reduced 10-30%. 3. Vitamin C- An old favorite. Vitamin C is used as an immunomodulator and so upregulates your immune function to help fight off infection. Vitamin C has been available for so long that people seem to overlook it in favour of the latest market craze in natural health products, but don’t discount the benefits of this vital vitamin. 4. Probiotics- Clinical research has shown that children ages 3-5 years attending day-care have a 45% lower risk of experiencing fever, cough, and runny nose, compared with placebo groups, when they took a combination of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium animalis. They were also less likely to use an antibiotic for their symptoms of a respiratory tract infection. 5. Garlic- Preliminary clinical research suggests garlic reduces the frequency and number of colds when taken preventatively. I suggest the odorless variety. Although garlic breath is another method of keeping people at a distance and preventing infection by avoiding close contact. Effective, but a little anti-social. The “bonus” tool for your immune support tool kit is a healthy dose of hand-washing. If soap and water isn’t always an option, carry a small size bottle of hand sanitizer. Until you wash your hands, avoid touching your nose, eyes, mouth or anywhere else a virus might make its way into your body. If you are interested in getting your flu vaccine, speak to your Live Well Pharmacy team at Pharmasave to book an appointment for your injection and avoid having to wait in a long line (where someone might already be sick). - Dan Cassidy, Nutritional Product Advisor

Firefighters collect toys and donations Members of the Summerland Fire Department are collecting toys and cash donations for the annual Toys and Toonies for Tots and Teens drive. The seasonal toy drive, in its 27th year, provides seasonal gifts for needy children and teens in Summerland. Organizers want new, unwrapped gifts as well as cash donations to purchase gifts for older children. Canadian Tire money is also accepted. Donations will be accepted at the firehall and at the Summerland CIBC until Dec. 12. The Summerland Review also collects gifts for the toy drive. Staff from the Summerland CIBC branch will do the shopping and sorting of the gifts. The gifts will be

distributed by the Summerland Food Bank in December. George Pugh of the Summerland Fire Department said the community has supported the drive. “It’s become a ritual for some people,” he said. “They seek us out at Light Up.” Firefighters are out at the annual Festival of Lights collecting donations for the toy drive.

I’m going into medicine because I feel like a doctor is what I’m supposed to be. Studying in a class of 17 people I’m not just on a first name basis, but really close with everybody enroled in the Rural Pre-Medicine Program. SPENCER PAOLONE, RURAL PRE-MEDICINE PROGRAM STUDENT, SELKIRK COLLEGE

Having survived Hodgkin’s lymphoma at the age of 15 and then watching his father tragically lose his fight to cancer at a young age, Rossland’s Spencer Paolone has an intimate, heartbreaking and inspiring view of what it takes to be a doctor. He is using his triumph and tragedy to fuel his desire to become the very best doctor he can be.

Shila Weaver, Carol Mullis, Linda Van Alphen and Val Wright serve breakfast Halloween morning to children in the Breakfast for Learning program at Giant’s Head Elementary School.

Volunteers serve breakfast to elementary school students by Carla McLeod Special to the Review

It is called the Wonder Kitchen. Children finding it sign in, get a name tag and wash their hands. They are then served a nutritious breakfast. The Giant’s Head Breakfast for Learning program is coordinated by Val Wright. She, along with her team of 13 volunteers serve breakfast to more than 60 children every week. They work out of a small room in the Giant’s Head Elementary School, complete with a kitchen area and a row of four long tables, placed end to end, with stools on each side. The program is in its 14th year. “When it started it was for children who needed to have breakfast in the morning,”

explained Wright. “Where the advancement has been, is in having the children’s emotional and social needs met.” Often the Wonder Kitchen is a place where children can go to feel safe and to make connections with other children. Sometimes they just stop in to say hello to Wright and the volunteers. “They come in to connect or tell us their story,” said Wright. “That is why it takes a village to raise a child. We are feeding the body with good healthy food, but we are also feeding the mind socially.” Because Wright works under the umbrella of Breakfast for Learning B.C., she has to work very hard to adhere to their standards, rules and regulations. One of the expectations is that the children learn about

healthy eating and be involved in the menu planning. Each breakfast served incorporates foods from all four food groups. Children are encouraged to share family recipes and to share their cultural foods with each other. “If children ask for certain things and it is healthy I will bring it in,” said Wright. “We have even had broccoli.” Although there is grant money given through the program itself, Wright relies on the community for support. She explained that at one time she went out and made presentations to the different service groups and businesses. She no longer does that she said, because she has earned the credibility over the years and everyone can see the good that is being done. She said local supporters of the program are very generous with donations of food and money. In return Wright makes every effort to buy the breakfast foods locally. “I want to keep the money here because the money comes from the community. That’s only fair,” she said. Wright also makes sure to publicly thank the volunteers and supporters in her monthly newsletter and yearly in the Summerland Review. The children too, express their appreciation for what they have received.

Wright draws up a thank you letter, consisting of reasons that the children themselves have come up with, as to why they are thankful. Each child signs the letter and it is sent out to those who have donated to the program. There are also safety standards that must be met when feeding children. Wright reads all ingredient labels carefully, making sure there are no peanuts in the products she serves. She herself has a first aid ticket and her volunteers have Food Save Certificates. Wright values the volunteers who work with her every day. “I am the tip of the umbrella, but we all work as a team. We are very blessed to have one another,” she said. “Everyone that starts keeps coming back every year. We have never had anyone quit on us.” One of her volunteers, Shila Weaver, who is now in Grade 12, said, “I use to come here when I was in elementary school. I love coming back now.” Wright appreciates the principal, vice principal and staff at the school as well. She said she has been given the freedom to run the program as she sees fit and thus is always looking for ways to make it better. Her goals are to make the children feel safe and to nurture and guide them and to help them have the best day they possibly can.

Summerland veteran among the soldiers in famous picture A Summerland veteran is one of the people standing in line in a famous World War II photograph. The picture, Wait for Me, Daddy, was taken Nov. 1, 1940 as members of the B.C. Regiment (Duke of Connaught’s Own Rifles) were preparing to board the S.S. Princess Joan at the New Westminster CPR docks. It shows Warren Bernard running to his father, Jack Bernard. To the left his is mother Bernice Bernard. Farther back in the line and to the left is Charlie Bernhardt, a Summerland veteran. Bernhardt, now 93, enlisted in Kelowna on June 15, 1940, when he was 19. He served until October, 1945. Reflecting on the picture, Bernhardt said it depicts one of the most difficult aspects of war. “Home and family is the foundation of our society,” he said. “Here we have the separation.” Bernhardt and the others in the picture sailed to Nanaimo. From there, he went to the Niagara Peninsula in Ontario, Nova Scotia and later to the United Kingdom. He was with the 3rd Canadian Infan-

that morning at 10 o’clock. Reflecting on the war and its aftermath becomes difficult for Bernhardt as he thinks of those who died in action during those years. “It’s the waste that bothers you,” he said. “Everybody loses in a war. Everybody.” Today, only four of the people in the picture are still alive. Earlier this year, an event was held to honour them, although two were unable to attend. A bronze image of the photograph was shown at the ceremony in New Westminster. A commemorative stamp and a $2 coin were also unveiled.

In the weeks leading up to the Nov. 15 municipal election, the Summerland Review is asking questions of the candidates. This week’s question: What would you do to promote, attract and retain businesses in Summerland?

Christopher Boisvert-Gilman Mayor To promote, attract and retain businesses

you must have stability. Stability comes when you have more than an award winning police station — it must be used 24 hours. Presently, Summerland has a vacant time slot open for crime. Criminals know it. When I canvassed downtown businesses, asking them their opinion, there was one that stood out. Summerland Gold and Silver Exchange had been robbed twice in the last month. Can they afford to stay given the circumstances? Options include auxiliary police or even fiscally more prudent, another Bylaws/Peace officer who patrols during that time? Unity as outlined in question #1 is mandatory. A Summerland Community Component Working Group proposed make-up consists of leaders from police, business, arts, tourism, agriculture, developers, environment, youth

E l E c t i o n and seniors. They should be meeting monthly and brainstorming Summerland issues with a specific focus on growth and investment. I know this can work as I founded and chaired a similar successful Chilliwack group.

Roch Fortin Mayor My plan would be to actively promote Summerland’s heritage, beauty and unbelievable quality of life. If elected,I will make myself available whenever,and wherever, possible assist in

making Summerland the #1 community in the minds of residents, entrepreneurs and corporations throughout Canada. Summerland is an unknown entity in most of Western Canada, Alberta included, even though the Okanagan is well known as a tourist destination. I believe we truly can become a community that is not to be missed as visitors make their way through the Valley. This can be achieved by initiating and supporting increased numbers of sporting events, music festivals, street markets and support for arts and drama initiatives are just a start to promoting Summerland. As mayor, I would create a self funded (no cost to the District of Summerland) event planner/organizer that will work with the arts and business communities as well as non profit organizations to promote Summerland. There is a fantastic opportunity for Summerland to develop a destination waterfront encompassing lands located between the Summerland Waterfront Resort and the Rotary Beach. If we, as a community, can join forces with the private sector, it is my opinion that a world class waterfront can be achieved.

WITH HOSTS: TOBY TANNAS FROM GLOBAL TV AND CO-HOST DENNIS WALKER FROM SOCOUNTRY SPONSORED BY:

David Gregory Mayor At the personal level, I believe promoting our community is a task of the mayor. Making our community interesting and unique promotes, attracts and retains business: and improves community spirit. I have written and co-authored several books and many articles about Summerland, created two Friendship Cities, assisted with the Hockeyville project, hosted walking tours,

made presentations at Okanagan Park Campground, assisted the Remembrance Street Banner program and helped with interpretive signage to raise awareness and pride in our community At the council level, making our town attractive is important. Making the downtown convenient for parking increases business opportunities. Tourists want parks and walking trails. During my term as Mayor more parks and trails were established than any other Council. Taxes and fees are needed to pay for the costs of servicing. One needs to identify which municipal service costs are increasing at a greater rate and attempt to control costs.

Orv Robson Mayor We presently have a new industrial site off Bentley Road, which is shovel ready for development. This site took several years to bring to fruition. This will provide clean industrial growth to our community just off the main highway. Council, district staff and the Summerland Chamber of Commerce work together to provide information about the unique benefits, that Summerland can offer to new ventures. We also work with TOTA, the Thompson Okanagan Tourist Association, who provide material that promotes Summerland. Several of the business people I have spoken to, are competing well in the field they are in, some are struggling. Common concern is not enough growth to provide them with customers. I will continue to ensure that taxation is kept to an affordable valley standard, so as to retain local businesses.

Thursday, Novembe 6, 2014 Summerland Review

Peter Waterman Mayor A changing business model is emerging. Big box stores are changing retail and consumer buying habits. It isn’t likely a furniture store can survive in Summerland with stores like the Brick nearby. Niche stores are emerging and a new work ethic is arising. Many business owners and professionals are choosing lifestyle over the stress of big city life. The aesthetics of our beautiful rural urban mix is extremely enticing. With high speed internet, a new multi-lane highway, and close airports with improved schedules and destinations allows tremendous opportunities. In addition we have 175,000 people to the north and about 60,000 to the south. I would encourage appropriate clean industry, but I see individuals buying property here placing their children in our schools, enjoying our climate, personal safety, buying what they can here but working anywhere their profession takes them. I would sell Summerland to the world using these incredible attributes.

Richard Barkwill Councillor It is Summerland’s quality of life that attracts people and this is the aspect of Summerland that we need to enhance in order to attract business. This means, among other things, we should

maintain the elements that make the town distinct from other communities such as our Old English theme and no neon signs. We can be a proactively green community by progressive measures such as outlawing election campaign signs and banning plastic grocery bags. The future lies in attracting knowledge based industries. It is the attractiveness to the community which will aid Summerland in joining the rest of the world in the transition from a manufacturing to a knowledge based economy. Another innovative measure our community can take is to encourage and facilitate the establishment of “community investment corporations” where local people invest money in local projects and the investment is eligible for an RRSP tax deduction.

Toni Boot Councillor I will advocate the hiring of an economic development officer — one who demonstrates proven experience and who, perhaps more importantly, recognizes our abundant resources. Our homegrown resources have the potential to provide many innovative business opportunities — performing and visual arts, arts and culturalrelated festivals and events, and value-added agricultural. Summerland wineries, Summerland Sweets, Vinegar Works, Heritage Cider Company, just to name a few, are excellent examples of taking agricultural products beyond harvest. Pair our homegrown resources, innovative ideas, and entrepreneurial skills with staff, a plan, and policy that supports these endeavours and we can revitalize and re-energize our business sector including, though not limited to, our downtown core.

Erin Carlson Councillor It will soon be possible to use the new library as a focal point for revitalization. Libraries are cultural meeting places and storehouses of local knowledge and sharing. We should work with absentee building owners to ensure their buildings are up to code, desirable and rentals are affordable. Work with stakeholders, like Accelerate Okanagan, to support, empower and increase the number of locals working in Summerland. Agriculture is also a business and creating a fresh food haven is a bold yet very possible idea. Imagine Summerland as a destination for arts, nature, food and drink.

Encourage eyecatching exhibits on downtown streets to encourage people to stop and look around. Converting ideas into reality is not a simple task, however good ideas can become reality if we a) create space to listen to the ideas that are out there, and b) work hard to make them possible.

John Dorn Councillor I support the idea of a Mayor’s Task Force on Economic Growth. Nobody has the magic wand to boost business in Summerland. By leveraging our strengths, tourism, agriculture, arts, culture and a wonderful lifestyle we can boost our economy. I would reinstate the position of an eco-

E l E c t i o n nomic development officer on either a volunteer or a performance based contract, eventually to become a full-time paid position again. Summerland needs budget to send representatives to events and trade shows in Alberta and the Lower Mainland to entice entrepreneurs to bring their jobs here and fill up the Bentley Road Industrial Area. Summerland sits in the middle of a market of nearly 350,000 people in the Okanagan Valley. Calgary and Vancouver are a mere hour away by plane. What a great place to set up shop if they only knew it. We need to partner with the Thompson-Okanagan Tourist Association to promote a valley wide tourist destination.

our standard of living. Most of this revolves around managing our eight-figure annual budget and seeing that our town’s services are managed prudently. There are other entities whose sole focus is to do these tasks, such as our own Summerland Chamber of Commerce. The role our local government plays is to facilitate the integration of new business into town. I would support investing in experts to achieve the desired economic stimulus, rather than having council attempt to tackle this themselves. This would be a more effective use of our time and resources and offer a more viable, long-term solution.

the customer base for our local merchants. Increasing the customer base improves the capability of our business owners to expand their selection of goods, expand their operating hours and hire more local employees. The greater the selection of goods and services available here in Summerland, the less residents will see value in leaving the community to do their shopping. Successful businesses invest more in their community and more in their advertising. It is amazing what excitement can be generated simply by success, and how that excitement becomes the best advertising a community can have!

Thursday, November 6, 2014 Summerland Review Putting forth municipal land in the Lakeside area for development into a tourist oriented project, to help compliment what is already there. Encourage new industrial development in our newly zoned industrial park on Bentley Road, creating some new jobs and tax revenue in our community. Continue to streamline the red tape at city hall in all departments, to make it easier for businesses to set up and do business in Summerland. Work closely with the Chamber of Commerce in the promotion of Summerland as a whole.

3. Create incentives for Summerlanders to buy locally. Some municipalities have community loyalty cards that residents use for discounts on municipal services as well as on purchases from participating local businesses and community groups. That could work here. The point is to be creative, innovative, and entrepreneurial. And look at what works elsewhere and adapt them to local conditions.

Denise MacDonald Councillor

Joel Gregg Councillor Council must seek to encourage the prosperity of all our residents, businesses, and farmers. The roles of our mayor and councillors are rarely glamourous and they are afforded no magic wand. The priorities of our local government are to improve the quality of our lives and maintain, if not enhance,

Robert Hacking Councillor

Bruce Hallquist Councillor

This question is near and dear to me, as I have lived the effects of it every day as a business operator for over 10 years in the town core. The conversation about business growth and success is really a conversation about people. Increasing the population of residents living near the town core increases

Encourage redevelopment and new development in the downtown and lakeside areas, making for a more sustainable community. Good example being the construction of the new library, on Main Street. Continue with the promotion of the Wharton Street project in one form or another.

Marty Fisher Councillor Response unavailable by press time.

Doug Holmes Councillor 1. Ensure the infrastructure is in place to encourage investment and growth. Companies are attracted to and benefit from efficient public works and services, public safety, housing options, good schools, leisure facilities, and overall quality of life. 2. Come up with a community identity for Summerland — establish what sets us apart, what’s our unique selling proposition. Then target market that identity through psychographic segmentation rather than waste money on expensive blanket marketing campaigns.

Support funding Chamber of Commerce initiatives in developing a comprehensive strategy plan that identify priorities, resulting in clear comprehensive business plan defining strengths and weaknesses that are flexible to emerging trends/businesses; identify niche, truly authentic unique pillars of strength, business infrastructures and location. Establishing businesses: Put out a welcoming mat for newcomers that includes clear ground rules regarding permits, taxation and zoning, establish/implement time lines — initiatives that attempt to minimize risks and moving targets. Existing businesses: fill service gaps, streamlining and increasing efficiency, reducing costs at municipal level which may be used to reduce taxes for businesses. Downloading costs of government regulations and Acts coming out of senior government are potentials for costing district and businesses money. Support UBCM in questioning the cost/ benefits of new regulations. The Multi Material Recycling Program is a good example. Ensure costs/benefits remain sustainable or consider a modified plan.

Summerland Review Thursday, November 6, 2014

Daniel Papadopoulos Councillor Downtown rejuvenation plans are needed when the store fronts become vacant. Create pedestrianoriented and new building designs in the downtown core. The industrial sector of Summerland is weak and lacks the infrastructure for industrial growth. With the construction of industrial buildings and promoting them will bring growth in industry.

Janet Peake Councillor There is a need to market our community more aggressively. We should research and seek out other businesses and invite them to locate or expand their businesses here in Summerland. An economic development committee which makes use of many of the experienced and skilled individuals who live here could help with this. Networking within this group, with the businesses and outreach globally could

net us some very favourable development investments. The advent of a WestJet daily direct flights to Calgary in Penticton provides us the opportunity to directly market our selves to the oil patch workers and sell them on the quality of life, climate and amenities here in Summerland. More young families locating here would enrich our community socially, culturally and economically. A shortage of space does not allow me to expand on this. Improving our information, communication and technology infrastructure serves as a building block for technology centred businesses and participation in the global economy. They improve our competitiveness. Entrepreneurs seek out this connectedness along with lifestyle considerations and amenities’ when considering where to locate. Investments in infrastructure provides direct economic benefits through job creation, improves liveability for local residents and is a key enabler for business retention, attraction and industry development.

Ken Rodocker Councillor To promote, attract and retain business in Summerland I would work with the chamber to create initiatives to assist existing busi-

nesses and new businesses. Important factors in maintaining a successful business are: advertising; accessibility; and community support. The creation of a business advisory commission would be a great asset to address these issues.

Erin Trainer Councillor

Mark Smed Councillor There isn’t a single solution to the challenges faced by our business community. Businesses need to look at other towns, of similar size and demographics to see what successful businesses are doing there. By providing attractions and activities, we draw people from the surrounding area to our town. The district can work with organizations like the Chamber of Commerce to improve Summerland. We need to continue to work to get existing land developed and increase density and population in the downtown core. The cost of maintaining our existing infrastructure of roads, water and other services is divided over a larger population, reducing everybody’s tax burden. Lower taxes attracts people and new businesses.

Please recycle

As a Summerland resident and small business owner, I already promote local businesses whenever possible. I do this by using their services regularly and by encouraging my friends and family to support them. I frequently post their events and sales on my social media networks. As a councillor, I would help attract

new businesses by supporting initiatives that make it easier to set up in Summerland. I would advocate for infrastructure upgrades around the district and improvements to our downtown core. I would investigate ways to encourage landlords to enhance their properties. I would introduce myself to all new businesses, and offer my support where possible. To retain current businesses, I would offer to act as a liaison between the business community and council. I would continue to have a strong presence in Summerland which allows me to connect with business owners regularly. I would bring any concerns to the council table.

www.summerlandreview.com 15

Martin Van Alphen Councillor When new businesses look to invest in our community we

need to promote our local contractors and services. Although the Chamber of Commerce does an excellent job of promoting current and new businesses through their website and Business After Hours events we each need to individually do our part by shopping locally. It is also great to have our Bentley Road Industrial area available but the rest of British Columbia and the world needs to know about it.

Governance views discussed

In concert

Canadian music legends Valdy, left, and Gary Fjellgaard performed at Centre Stage Theatre on Saturday evening as part of an annual Okanagan tour.

Remembrance Day banners displayed Just over a week ago our downtown streets underwent a transformation as the bright, colourful, summertime, street banners were replaced by more somber black and white Remembrance banners showing photographic images of Summerland men who went off to The Great War or World War II and never returned. Each year a few more banners will be added to this Remembrance collection until there is a banner for each of the names engraved on our cenotaph in Memorial Park. Photography is an art form that is often used to inform, amuse, enlighten and sometimes shock. In this case they are there to remind us. Remind us of sacrifice and loss. When you wander around downtown see how many were only eighteen when killed in the trenches and mud of Flanders. Then read the 37 names of those who did not return from the Great War and imagine the impact on a small community. Photography is a wildly popular art form especially now that digital cameras

David Finnis and cell phones let us easily take hundreds if not thousands of images. However, photography on the battlefield is not always that easy or that safe. Photography or wartime sketches or paintings do help us recall the sacrifice, drudgery and horror of war. Canada had a number of war artists during both world wars who documented training exercises, battlefields and the destruction of these two wars. One artist was Alex Colville who painted in England, France, Holland and Germany. He was one of three Canadian artists who visited Belsen concentration camp after its 1945 liberation. Many of his drawings, sketches and

paintings can be found at the Canadian War Museum. Like the eight giant murals in the Canadian senate, they are a visual reminder of the cost of war. Hopefully these paintings, the incredible sculpture at the National War Memorial in Ottawa and our Remembrance banners will help us reflect on the

Summerlanders discussed their thoughts about good governance at a Conversation Cafe on Oct. 22. The discussion was organized by the Summerland Philosophers’ Cafe committee. Barbara Thorburn, one of the event organizers, said around 75 people participated, including five high school students. More than 300 comments were received. She said terms such as integrity, intelligence, accountability, communication, trust, values and vision were often used to describe good govern-

ance. “Feedback and accountability create a sense of community, which is good for the whole,” she said. The importance of planning for the future was also discussed. “Good governance has a long-term vision,” she said, summarizing some of the comments. Participants also talked about positive public engagement as a way to ensure good governance is practiced. Thorburn will post a summary of the comments online, either on the Summerland Philosophers’ Cafe Facebook page or on a website.
