John Arendt Summerland Review

Initiative introduced to reduce number of bear encounters

by John Arendt

WildSafeBC is con-ducting garbage audits in Summerland in an effort to reduce the attractants for bears and other dan-gerous wildlife.

The audits will con-tinue through October and November.

Zoe Kirk, WildSafeBC

community coordinator for the Regional District of Okanagan Similka-meen, said the results so far are disappointing as many Summerlanders continue to put out their garbage the night before collection takes place.

“We humans have acci-dentally provided a feast for bears at this time of year,”Kirk said. “When we place garbage out to the curb early, filled with a bounty of pungent har-vest type leftovers, bears

gain access to our fast food refuse packets and are likely to return again and again.”

The garbage audits are being conducted by a retired conservation offi-cer who is taking pictures of the garbage and record-ing the addresses where it has been set out early.

Bears have been a prob-lem in populated parts of the community. Around a year ago, bears were observed on a property a couple of blocks from the

downtown core.Bears have also been

observed near the lake-shore.

Kirk said a garbage bylaw, penalizing those who set out their garbage before their collection day, would help to reduce the number of bear inci-dents in Summerland.

Naramata adopted a garbage bylaw several years ago and the num-ber of bear incidents in that community dropped significantly, Kirk said. In

Summerland, the num-ber of bears reported in the community has not shown any significant change.

In addition to changing their garbage habits, Summerlanders can reduce the number of bear incidents by taking other measures.

These include har-vesting fruit and nuts as soon as possible and keeping bird feeders and suet cages in storage until December.

Garbage audits conducted

by John Arendt

Illegal trails in the Gar-nett Valley area have been deactivated.

Volunteers from the Summerland Sportsmen’s Association, along with workers from the Con-servation Officer Service and the South Okanagan-Similkameen Conserva-tion Program posted the signs and deactivated the trails last week.

The work was funded in part by the Habitat Conservation Trust Foun-dation Public Conserva-tion Assistance Fund.

Bryn White, man-ager of the conservation program, said the trails had become a problem in recent years as an increasing number of off-road vehicles were using them.

She said motorized vehicles will cause dis-turbance to wildlife and have already degraded habitat in the area.

“Hopefully we will see some recovery there,” she said. “The South Okanag-an is a pretty sensitive place.”

The area includes

grasslands, dry forests and wetlands. The area also provides winter and early spring habitat for wildlife.

The Garnett Valley area is a corridor for wildlife off Highway 97, she said.

Earlier efforts at habitat restoration have resulted in improvements to the area, White said.

“The success of the Ritchie Lake fencing pro-ject and the recovery of that wetland has inspired us all,” she said.

New regulations for the Garnett Valley area designate open, legal routes and closed illegal routes. Seasonally open routes may be accessed from May 1 to Dec. 31.

Those who use illegal trails can face a $575 tick-et if habitat destruction is observed, White said.

If the destruction is significant, penalties can include fines of up to $1 million, imprisonment for up to three years or both.

EXPERIENCE: • Former Mayor (1 term), Municipal Councillor (2 terms), School

Board Trustee (2 terms), Union • Board of Health ( 3 terms) and Minor Hockey President.

CONCERNS I didn’t run in the last two elections because I wanted to do other things. But I became increasingly concerned about how Council provided information to the public: Its now SPIN POLITICS. For example: we are told the new library is responsible for the displacement of the Art Gallery, after

all they are paying for it. This is nonsense. We pay $454,699 /year for library services. There have been 5 proposals for a new library. All others were multi-storey, The other four proposals included a much needed Cultural/Event centre and none re-moved a business or 11 parking stalls from Main Street. Ouch!

PLATFORM1. Restore the importance of public committees.2. Provide the public with accurate ‘no spin’ information.3. Council will be hiring a new Administrator; critical to a suc-

cessful community. I have the experience hiring administrators.

4. Densification downtown. There has not been a 4 storey or 3 storey building since I was Mayor. A one storey library is ridiculous.

5. My goal is to create an agreement with understanding, in both languages: English and Okanagan, with our neigh-bour, the Penticton Indian Band.

6. Continue with Parks and Trails program. More parks and trails were created during my term as Mayor than any other Council.

Support for RecopeStaff at the Summerland Credit Union raised $884 for the Recope program through their Comfort for a Cause fundraiser. Each Friday, staff members contribute $1 each for the privilege of wearing jeans to work. The Credit Union matches the staff contributions. Money collected is given to a local charity every quarter.

RCMP call numbers show slight decrease

S u m m e r l a n d ’ s RCMP officers were kept busy with 809 calls for service dur-ing the third period of 2014.

The quarterly policing statistics, presented to muni-cipal council earlier this month, show a four per cent overall decrease in the num-ber of calls for service compared with the same period a year earlier.

In the third quar-ter of 2013, there were 843 calls for service. While the total volume of calls decreased, there were some nota-ble increases.

So far this year, police have handled 10 sexual assault cases, up from three in the first nine months of 2013.

Business break and enters rose from five in the first nine months of 2013 to 14

in the same period this year.

Thefts of vehicles rose from nine in 2013 to 32 this year, while thefts from vehicles fell from 24 to 18.

The number of other thefts in the community also declined, with 43 in the first nine months of 2013 and 33 in the same period this year.

Frauds increased from 10 in the first nine months of last

year to 24 in the same period this year.

On the roads, police issued 40 immediate roadside prohibitions from January to the end of September, up from 26 in the same period last year.

The number of 24-hour suspensions decreased from 10 in the first nine months of last year to four in the same period this year.

Summerland’s All Candi-dates Forum is expected to draw a large number of local residents eager to hear the views of a full slate of candi-dates.

The Summerland Chamber of Commerce and the Sum-merland Review are co-host-ing the forum on Nov. 4 at the Summerland Secondary School gym, where the five mayoral candidates and the 16 council candidates will answer questions.

The event will be moder-ated by local business con-sultant, Wilfred Barranoik.

Due to the large number of candidates who will be speaking, there will no open microphone.

The public is asked to sub-mit their questions in advance. Selected questions will be chosen by the moderator and the editor of the Review.

Questions for the candi-dates can be submitted by email to the editor of the Sum-merland Review at [email protected], or the manager of the Chamber of Commerce at [email protected]

The deadline for emailed

questions is Nov. 2.  Questions can also be

dropped off at the Summer-land Review office at 13226 Victoria Rd. N. or at the Sum-merland Chamber Office at 15600 Hwy 97 by close of business on October 31.

The Nov. 4 forum will be held at the Summerland Sec-ondary School gymnasium and begin at 6:30 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m.

It will run in two parts, starting with questions for the mayoral candidates, followed by questions for the council candidates.

For the record

PoLIce rePort

Crews are at work on the construction of Summerland’s new library building.

The foundations have been poured and workers want to have the roof in place before the end of this year.

“It’s been going along just as we expected. We’re cer-tainly moving for-ward,” said Michele Rule, communica-tions manager for the Okanagan Regional Library.

She said the fast pace of work is neces-sary in order to have the new building completed in spring.

“We want to be open in June,” Rule said. “That doesn’t afford too many down days.”

The site of the building on Main Street was formerly the location of the Summerland Arts Centre and a garage.

The new building, at 743 square metres, will be more than twice the size of the existing library space on Wharton Street, which measures 316 square metres.

Rule said the pub-lic response to the new building has been positive.

Earlier, as the plans for the library were being con-sidered, the Okanag-an Regional Library held open houses and meetings to gain public input.

“We did so much consultation with this project,” Rule said.

In a story in the Oct. 16 Summerland Review, a comment about drainage concerns was incorrectly attributed to Patrick Murphy.

The Review apologizes for the error.

Donation jars were taken from Nesters Market and from the liquor store on Oct. 14 and 15.

Police say a 36-year-old Penticton man has been apprehended in connection with the inci-dents and is facing charges of thefts.Vehicle vandalized

On Oct. 14, a vehicle parked on Mount-ford Avenue was vandalized when slang was scratched into the side. Police are continuing to investigate this incident.Break-ins reported

Police believe a series of daytime break-ins around Summerland on Oct. 15 are all related.

The break-ins occurred on Williams Avenue, Dale Meadows Road, Gillespie Road and Nixon Road. Some of the residences were unlocked, while in other instances, the doors were forced open.

Police urge residents to make sure their doors are locked and to take note of what is happening in their neighbourhoods.

The thefts are still under investigation.Saws taken

On Oct. 17, police were called following a theft from a cargo trailer.

Two Husqvarna chainsaws and one Echo chain saw were taken.

Summerland RCMP are continuing to investigate the incident.

Sign defacedPolice are inves-

tigating an incident of vandalism after a business sign was altered with deroga-tory racist and sexist slurs.

The incident was reported on Sunday when the Grasslands Nursery sign on Gartrell Road was defaced.

“Hate motivated crimes are very con-cerning and the Sum-merland RCMP are taking this incident seriously,” said Cpl. Bruce Haley of the Summerland RCMP detachment.

Toni Boot, owner of Grasslands Nurs-ery, said this is the first time the sign has been defaced.

Haley said the last incident of similar slurs in Summerland was in the summer of 2013, when com-ments were spray-painted on fences along Solly Road.

Anyone with infor-mation on the Grass-lands Nursery sign vandalism is asked to contact the Summer-land RCMP at 250-494-7416 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Cross-country runMark Andrews of Uplands Elementary School turns on the juice at the end of the course in the Grade 5 boys event of the Naramata Cross Country Run ahead of runner up Noah Russill of Giant’s Head Ele-mentary School (background). The annual event attracts hundreds of competitors from elementary schools throughout School District 67.

Real Estate FraudWhen your Lawyer asks you for Identification, don't be upset, he or she is protecting your property. More and more cases of fraudulent real estate transactions are being encountered and as a result more precautions are being taken to ensure that the true owners are the ones actually dealing with the title.

The BC registration system is different from Ontario's and is not as susceptible to real estate fraud, however, it can and does happen here. Lender's in Ontario such as the Chartered Banks have been requiring that lawyers have mortgage clients produce two types of identification when signing up a mortgage for some time now. This has now become Canada-wide.

In Summerland, we have the luxury of personally knowing most of our clients. That small town benefit doesn’t unfortunately fit in our increasingly complicated world. Even though we know who you are, the financial institutions will still require that we take copies of your ID when you come in for legal services, so get that ID ready.

VICTORIA – “Hands up.” That famous command is attributed to Bill Miner, an American career criminal who is also credited with B.C.’s first train robbery, at Silver-dale on the Mission border in 1910.

A more gen-teel, and of course perfect-ly legal, track-side transfer of wealth is underway in the B.C. legisla-ture. It’s called the Canadian Pacific Railway (Stone and Timber) Settlement Act, and it provides for taxpay-ers to hand over $19 million to CP Rail to settle a lawsuit over historic logging, rock and gravel rights given to B.C.’s pioneering railway builders.

Students of B.C. history will know that while Bill Miner got the headlines, it was the early coal, lumber and railway bar-ons who really made out like bandits.

And CP Rail inherited some of this by 1912 when it took over  three early railways that had been granted vast tracts of provincial Crown land.

Deputy Premier Rich Cole-man revealed the settlement in the legislature this month. It seems that when CP Rail took over  the B.C. Southern Railway Company, the Col-umbia and Kootenay Railway and Navigation Company and the Columbia and West-ern Railway Company, there were some clerical errors

along the way.“I am pleased that Canadian

Pacific Railway and the prov-ince have recently reached an agreement regarding the dis-puted ownership and value of timber and stone rights on 145,000 hectares of Crown land and 68,000 hectares of private land in the Kootenay and Oka-nagan regions,” Coleman told the legislature.

“The province granted land to three railway compan-ies between 1892 and 1908 to subsidize railway construc-tion. These railway compan-ies reserved timber and stone rights for their own use when they sold the land to third par-ties in the early 1900s. These reservations were not recog-nized in many subsequent land transactions, and many of them were not registered in the cur-rent land title system.”

These discrepancies came to light in the early 2000s.

They involve some 1,600 properties, so you can imagine the lawyer fees that would be accumulated to sort through those in court.

And Coleman’s statement suggests that the government has conceded its records are in error, rather than those of the railways.

Given the Wild West ways of B.C.’s early settlement and railway development, it’s not surprising there were some loose ends.

For a fascinating look at this period, I recommend Bar-rie Sanford’s book Steel Rails and Iron Men (Whitecap Books, 1990).

Sanford recounts the fate-ful decision of the CPR to turn north at Medicine Hat and push Canada’s defining railway through the Kick-ing Horse Pass, leaving the mineral-rich Kootenay region open to competitors  for rail freight service.

A key figure of those days is James Dunsmuir, who inher-ited his family coal fortune and served as B.C. premier from 1900 to 1902.

He ended up owning a large part of Vancouver Island in exchange for building the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Rail-way, which he sold to the CPR in 1905, the same year he locked out miners in his coal oper-ations for their push to organ-ize a union.

Dunsmuir’s hard line pro-vided a boost for a rival, James Jerome Hill, who built the Great Northern Railway in the 1890s and later quit the CPR board in a bitter feud.

Hill was happy to supply coal from Fernie.

Dunsmuir took a turn as B.C.’s eighth Lieutenant Gov-ernor, sold his coal business and retired to his estate, Hatley Castle, which is now part of Royal Roads University.

He  is buried at Victoria’s Ross Bay Cemetery. As Hal-loween approaches, it’s easy to imagine a chuckle from his grave as the railway barons once again rake it in.

SUMMERLAND REVIEWA PART OF THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1908 WWW.SUMMERLANDREVIEW.COM

bad applesThere is no response other

than disgust and disappointment after racist and sexist slurs were left on a sign at a local business on the weekend.

The derog-atory slurs are not a simple and harmless prank. Instead, such com-ments, left anonymously, are signs of a more serious problem.

Hate-motivated crimes have been rare in Summerland, but even one such incident is too many.

We urge anyone with informa-tion about it to contact the RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

The organizers of the MAUD Run on the weekend deserve thanks for their work in creat-ing a special event.

The run was held in honour of for-mer Summer-land resident Ellen Lloyd, who died from leuk-emia last year.

It also helped to support the Canadian Blood Services, since entry to the event was by pledging to donate blood, time or money to the organization.

ourpickHabitat

protectionEfforts are being made to

restore damaged habitat in the Garnett Valley area, but the recovery will not happen quickly.

Over the past week, illegal trails in the area have been decommissioned and signs have been posted.

In addition, those who use illegal trails in the area can face high fines and penal-ties if habitat destruction is observed.

The trails have become a problem in recent years as an increasing number of off-road vehicles have been in the area.

Damage from mud-bogging and motorized off-road activ-ity can leave long-lasting dam-age to the area.

While many of the trails had been created within the last decade, they soon looked as if they had been in place significantly longer.

The present initiatives — signs, decommissioned trails and significant fines and penal-ties — will help put an end to the destructive behaviour in the area.

Beyond those measures, a little common sense from those using the area would also help.

The Garnett Lake reservoir is a source of Summerland’s drinking and irrigation water. Environmental damage to that area will affect water users who rely on that sys-tem.

The area also has value as a habitat for local wildlife and deserves protection for this reason as well.

Wilderness areas, especial-ly in places like the Okanagan, must be respected and treat-ed carefully.

At present, it is still pos-sible for the area to recover from the damage it has experienced, although it will be a slow process.

As the area returns to its original condition, it is import-ant to remember what can happen as a result of careless wilderness activity, so a simi-lar situation does not occur in the future.

Dear Editor:The biggest chal-

lenge facing voters in any election is to identify the candi-dates that are going to represent the whole community, not just pursue their own biases and pet issues.

We should also be aware of candi-

dates who will want to build monuments that will only serve to advance their pol-itical ambitions.

Stay away from the “I am going to” can-didates, because they might just do it.

The only mandate city councillors have is to act as our trust-ees, and as such, to

conduct our busi-ness on our behalf as directed by us as citizens.

The performance of the present Sum-merland council bor-ders on contempt for the people and the democratic process.

The arrogant and defiant attitudes demonstrated by our

council members during the last term are not acceptable.

This election is a golden opportunity to purge our council chambers, and elect a new team that is going to be commit-ted to representing all the people on all issues and to make decisions that will

benefit the whole community. Let us not waste this pre-cious opportunity.

Dear Editor:Re: Metering

model disputed, Summerland Review, Oct. 2.

I agree with Mr. Hooper the irriga-tion deal is unfair to owners of properties between half an acre

and two acres.We all know that to

grow grapes, fruits, vegetables, flowers, or lawn, we must irrigate.

Most of the above mentioned plants need about 650 milli-metres rain, while

our rainfall is around 350 mm.

Fewer people might know that it is physically impos-sible to irrigate any property over a half-acre from the low-pressure domestic system.

We need to water sensibly, and we all need to pay our fair share. But the pro-posed model is very unfair. Why?

1. The property owner must pay for the installation of the meter at an estimated

cost of $1,500. Prop-erty owners who can-not afford this will be expected to go with-out irrigation water. There’s no other choice given.

2. To quote from the municipal letter: “You will be billed

$35.82 per month flat fee for the use of the second water ser-vice.”

This is not a second water service. We are not putting in a second house. This is irrigation that will be turned off for half

a year, though the property owner will still be billed twelve month per year.

3. Also from the letter: “It should also be noted that the monthly flat fee of $35.82 will be under review sometime in 2015.” This means that though everyone else has some idea what they will pay, owners of the affect-ed properties don’t, since no rate has been set yet.

What would make the deal fair?

The properties should be charged the irrigation rate, which stands at $144 per acre plus usage, the proposed rate will cost $429.84, until the review. After that? Well, we don’t know yet.

Originally every-one who had an irrig-ation line was to have a blue box for free.

Why are 280 prop-erties forced to pay for boxes that every-one else has for free? Irrigation is not a lux-ury but a necessity for these properties in this valley.

What else is wrong with this deal?

There was no pub-lic input, no public discussion or any bill passed by council.

Some bureaucrats made the decision without any of the democratic process.

I’d like to urge people to speak up. We have a municipal election, and this is often the best time to have our voices heard.

Fair water metering model needed

West end of an eastbound wagonIn the 1920s Main Street, or Granville Road as it was called then, wasn’t quite as busy as it is today. The town of Summerland was actually on the lakeshore and this area was known as West Summerland. There were a few amenities here for those who didn’t want to make the trip all the way down to the lake for supplies. The horse pulling this wagon is tied to the power pole in front of Summerland Supply and the hardware store, and down the street you may be able to make out the Drug Store sign and A.J. Beer’s Harness Shop. While automobiles were beginning to be popular, substantial loads of supplies fit better and more easily into a good old wagon. And hay was cheaper than gas.

The early years

Dear Editor:Summerland CAO

Tom Day is quoted as saying that “People sitting at the coun-cil table are respon-sible for $30 million and 100 employees” and that, following the election, the new council will receive a five day “new council orientation program” covering “govern-ance, administrative and legal, finance

and planning, effect-ive meetings and an infrastructure tour.”

Wouldn’t it be a great idea to make this course a pre-requisite to running for council — thus having all candi-dates understand up front the challenges of bringing their vari-ous philosophical ideas to fruition?

John BubbSummerland

Candidates should receive orientation

Dear Editor: It is with great

dismay, disgust and anger that we read about the racist and awful remarks

against Toni Boot.  Our family has

lived in Summerland for six years in the 1990s.   We loved the area and have many

fond memories; but this raises another perspective and it is not a good one!  

We hope that this will be the start of

something positive when the rest of the community rise up against such attitudes.

Dear Editor:The Agricultural

Land Reserve issue of last spring is still very much with us.

The present muni-cipal council has sent a request to the Agri-cultural Land Com-mission to remove 90 hectares of high qual-ity farmland from the ALR.

That resolution will either be accepted or rejected by the com-mission shortly after our municipal elec-tion.

So in effect, the election becomes a referendum on the land removal: if a

majority of the new councillors oppose the removal, then it is very likely the com-mission will reject the application.

But the reverse is equally true.

During the various meetings last winter, it was apparent that many Summerland-ers, perhaps a major-ity, opposed the land removal.

So I would urge voters to query the many candidates run-ning for office: where do they stand on the ALR land removal?

We know for a fact that Councillors

Robert Hacking, Orv Robson and Martin Van Alphen are in favour of the land removal, since they are on record as vot-ing for the resolution.

We also know that mayoral candi-date Peter Waterman voted against it.

The ALR issue is of profound import-ance not only to Sum-merland, but to the preservation of agri-cultural land across the province. Do take the time to query the candidates to find out where they stand.

Don GaytonSummerland

Election isa referendum on land plan

Dear Editor:David Gregory

wants to be the mayor of Summerland.

His number one issue in this civic election is, “some of the information given to the public is distorted. It’s par-tial information that’s being manipulated.”

Gregory calls this “spin.”

Another issue is the Okanagan Regional Library building.

Gregory was a Summerland coun-cillor for six years and mayor for three years.

In all of those nine years, he did not make any improve-ments to the library.

Gregory says that with this new library building on Main Street, we have lost the Art Gallery, the Potters’ Guild and the Red Cross.

The fact is the Art Gallery has moved to 9908 Main St. and is wheelchair access-ible and with greatly improved foot traf-fic.

The Potters’ Guild is now at 13202 Vic-toria Rd. N. and has wheelchair access.

Both the Art Gal-lery and Potters’ Guild are in better locations.

As for the Red Cross, they are in Penticton and I am sure that when they

find suitable accom-modation in Sum-merland that is not cramped and wheel-chair accessible, they will be back.

Gregory’s dislike for the change to the Official Community Plan is in agreement with the majority of Summerland’s cit-izens.

The OCP was amended to accom-modate the removal of 200 acres of prime agricultural farm land.

A new council may think it right to change or reverse this decision made by the current council.

Dear Editor:The Summerland

Chamber of Com-merce should not be moderating the municipal candi-dates’ forum this fall. The chamber execu-tive took a position on the most conten-tious municipal issue

of the last term by far: the land swap.

They didn’t need to, but they did, and they claimed to speak for the chamber and entire business com-munity.

Now they have the power to choose what questions are

asked of candidates. The chamber

should not be moder-ating this forum. The Summerland Review should be. Alexander ThistlewoodMA Student in Public

It’s Small Business Week in Canada — the national cele-bration of entrepre-neurs and the con-tributions of their small businesses to our country’s econ-omy.

Across British Columbia, 98 per-cent of businesses are small busi-nesses, employing more than a million people. 

And here in Sum-merland, small busi-nesses are the heart and soul of our community and the engine of our local economy.

Some of the Chamber ’s jobs are to promote our member businesses, invite investment in Summerland, connect with other organizations who can provide exper-tise and funding to our local businesses and partner with the District of Summer-land on economic development initia-tives.

This year, we’ve done this through the creation of a compre-hensive new invest-ment and relocation guide, something our community sorely needed.

With financial sup-port from the dis-trict, we’ve also cre-ated and launched a library of economic development videos. These are available to view on our YouTube channel which you can link to from our web site.

As well, we’ve held events to con-nect with sectors we don’t always hear from, most recently our trades businesses and a growing num-ber of agricultural technology business-es.

But it’s important to remember that celebrating and sup-porting our small businesses is not just the chamber’s job. It involves all of us.

We have more than 700 licensed busi-nesses in Summer-land and they cover

the gamut of every possible product and service.

Do you need some-thing beautiful to wear? It’s here.

Every ingredient for your favourite recipe? They’re here.

Services for you and your family, your pet or your car. Here.

Every possible kind of health and alternative care pro-vider? Check and check.

You can find them all here in Sum-merland and on the business directory of the chamber ’s

web site.In fact, there’s very

little that you need to leave town to buy.

And the cost of gas and travel time make it even more attractive to shop locally.

Don’t forget that the owners of these businesses are local parents, coaches, volunteers and your neighbours and they are contributing to the vibrancy and health of our com-munity every single day.

Support them this week and every week and celebrate small business.

We always appre-ciate your feedback. Please contact me at [email protected] or our Chamber Presi-dent, Arlene Fenrich, at president@sum-m e r l a n d c h a m b e r.com.

Christine Petkau is the Manager of the Summerland Cham-ber of Commerce.

“They are wonder-ful volunteers who believe in our man-date and want to be there to help us do what it takes to move forward.” That is how Maarten Bonten, property manager of Agur Lake Camp, describes the Pen-ticton Adventurers Club.

Numerous times this fall members of the Adventurers Club have pitched in with axes, chain saws and rakes to clear away the unwanted shrubs and dead fall that clutter the for-est around the camp

buildings.Bonten said clean-

ing up the area near the buildings not only enhances the appear-ance of the camp, but it also removes fuel which could destroy the camp in the event of a forest fire. Though much of this work is simple hard labour, it needs to be done with pro-fessional skill, which many in the Adven-turers Club have.

The Penticton Adventurers’ Club is for people 50 and over.

“We became involved because

one of our members, Ken Carlson, is on their board of direc-tors and two other of our members Gerry and Lenora Klappe, have worked with the camp in years past,” said Sue Mavety, president of the club. “We want to come back because we love the outdoors and find this very satisfying work.”

Beth Bonten, presi-dent of the camp soci-ety, said “We are so excited to hear that they want to return because come spring there will still be tons of work to do with

the clearing of the undergrowth.”

The wilderness camp, 20 kilometres west of Summerland, is for families with a member who has spe-cial needs. It is closed for the  winter and once the snow comes is not accessible until late April. Campers will begin using the camp in June. 

Agur Lake Camp is a non-profit organiza-tion run by a volun-teer board. It provides campers access to wil-derness camping free of the obstacles that often challenge people with special needs.

Staffing at local schools will be bol-stered with $1 million in top-up funding from the B.C. govern-ment.

That will cover the cost of 9.3 full-time equivalent teachers plus five education assistants’ positions in the Oka-nagan Skaha School

District.S u p e r i n t e n d e n t

Wendy Hyer said the district is shar-ing this year in $94 million the province committed to its Learning Improve-ment Fund — aimed at addressing class-room size and com-position issues — up from $75 million last year. That overall increase was neces-sary, she said, as a

result of new con-tracts with teachers and support staff that require cer-tain portions of the fund be used to hire from their respective unions.

“The dollars are targeted, and there are a bit more dollars because of the nego-tiations, but it’s not a significant a mount,” she said.

School administra-

tors annually make their case for extra staff to Hyer, who then makes deci-sions in consultation with union leaders, although the process was thrown off track this year due to the teachers’ strike.

Uplands Elemen-tary will receive the most additional help with one FTE teach-er, while Parkway is next on the list with a

0.9 FTE position.“For the most part,

I would say every school received the teaching staff they

requested,” said Hyer, who noted the

two elemen-taries at the top of the list have a “ h a n d f u l ” of students with “excep-tional needs” in all of their kindergarten classes.

The total budget available for those teachers is $846,000.

An education assistant will also be provided for the full five-hour school day at each of Park-way, Uplands and West Bench elemen-taries and Summer-land Middle School, plus another facility that’s yet to be deter-mined.

The total budget available for those education assistants is $211,000.

A 32-year-old Sum-merland woman was arrested earlier this month at an alleged marijuana grow-op in Kelowna.

RCMP said in a press release the woman was discov-ered Oct. 7 inside a home on Kloppen-burg Road where 721

marijuana plants were seized, along with cash, dried marijuana and paraphernalia.

The woman was released on a promise to appear and faces possible charges of production of a con-trolled substance and possession for the purpose of traf-ficking. RCMP took

down an alleged grow-op at a neigh-bouring house on Sept. 26 and seized 471 marijuana plants.

It was during that first bust, according to the release, that the second home where the Summerland woman was arrested came to the attention of police.

Permits approved for B.C. Hydro’s Site C damby Tom Fletcher

Black Press

VICTORIA – Both the feder-al and provincial governments have issued environmental assessment certificates for BC Hydro’s Site C dam, the pro-posed third hydroelectric pro-ject on the Peace River in north-eastern B.C.

The approvals include doz-ens of legally binding condi-tions, including a $20 million farmland enhancement fund to

offset river bottom land that would be flooded, and com-pensation for local aboriginal groups whose historic treaty rights to hunting, fishing and trapping would be affected.

Cost of the project, last esti-mated by BC Hydro at $7.9 billion, will factor into a final decision by the B.C. cabinet whether to go ahead with the dam. Energy Minister Bill Ben-nett has indicated he expects the final investment decision to

be made by the end of 2014, and if it’s approved, work would begin immediately.

Among the 77 B.C. condi-tions is an aboriginal business participation strategy to share the estimated 10,000 person-years of construction work the dam project would generate.

Seven aboriginal commun-ities affected by the proposal have been offered cash and Crown land to compensate for land lost by construction of

the dam. All are signatories to Treaty 8, which ensures their rights to hunt, trap and fish as they did before the treaty was signed in 1899. Officials say five of the seven are currently in negotiations.

Situated near Fort St. John and downstream of the W.A.C. Ben-nett and Peace Canyon dams, Site C’s 1,050-metre-long earthfill dam would create a reservoir 83 km long and two to three times the current width of the river.

It requires two power lines built in the same corridor as the existing line, and six water turbine generators that would produce enough electricity to power about 450,000 homes.

BC Hydro estimates that because Site C would use water held back in the exist-ing Williston Lake reservoir, it would generate 35 per cent of the energy as the Bennett dam with only five per cent of the reservoir area.

The applications are available at District Hall, 13211 Henry Avenue, and will also be available at advance and general voting day(s). In order to register, however, you will need to bring the following additional pieces of paper with you to the voting place on voting day:• Proof of ownership of the property in question, for example, your tax notice, or

a certificate of title print-out (a utility bill or other similar document is NOT proof of ownership); and

• If applicable, consent form filled out by a majority of the registered owners stating that you are the one owner of the property who is designated as the non-resident (property) elector for that property.

Non-resident (property) electors are required to produce two pieces of identification (at least one must provide a signature) to prove identity. Acceptable forms of identification include:• BC Driver’s License • ICBC Vehicle Insurance Documents • BC Identification Card • BC CareCard or Gold CareCard • Citizenship Card • Summerland Tax Notice • Social Insurance Card • Credit Card • Utility Bill • Canadian Passport

Other forms of identification may be accepted, at the discretion of the Presiding Election Official at the voting place.

Beginning on Sun-day, recyclables will be collected at the Summerland IGA each week to raise money for the Sum-merland Food Bank and other community organizations.

Pat Wand, who also organizes a simi-lar collection drive at the Penticton IGA store each Saturday, has set up the con-tainer unit in cooper-ation with IGA owner and manager Colin Powell.

Powell said half the proceeds from the collections will go to support the Summer-land Food Bank. The rest will go to organ-izations including Critteraid, the Sum-merland Health Care

Auxiliary and others.“Every cent goes

to the community, here or in Penticton,” Wand said. “Nothing goes outside of the community.”

Wand started the collections in Pentic-ton five years ago, with a donation bin open every Saturday. Initially, she collected recyclables worth around $20 a day. Since that time, the

volume of recyclables has increased to as much as $400 a day.

Powell said the recyclable collection bin is a partnership between the store and Wand.

Beverage contain-ers except for milk containers will be accepted at the bin.

The service will be open each Sun-day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Recyclables collected for local charities

Ready for recyclablesSummerland IGA owner Colin Powell and Pat Wand prepare to receive recyclables at a container in the parking lot near Summerland IGA. The materials will be received each Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Proceeds will go to charities in Summerland.

The MAUD (Make a Unique Donation)

Run was held in Lowertown on Sat-urday at the Sum-merland Racquets Club.

Participants had the option of running a one kilometre, three kilometre or five kilo-metre distance.

Race entry was by pledging to donate blood, time or a small amount of cash to Canadian Blood Services, which was one of the event sponsors.

Representat ives were set up on site to offer information and to answer ques-tions.

The run was envisioned by and held in memory of Ellen Maud Lloyd, a former citizen of Summerland, who passed away last year after battling leuk-emia.

Lloyd was well known in Summer-land for several dif-

ferent initiatives, including the Action Festival’s family run and the Man of Steel Triathlon.

“The concept behind this event was because she liked to do the runs,” said her son Warren Lloyd. “She wanted a run that people would

really want to do, but in order to get into it you had to donate

blood.”He explained that

during treatment for leukemia, his mother had received plate-lets and plasma, both of which are derived from blood.

This event would have been her way of expressing her gratitude to all the

anonym-o u s d o n o r s w h o s e b l o o d had sus-t a i n e d her, as well as r a i s i n g

the awareness as to how precious the gift of donated blood can be, thus encouraging people to give.

Lloyd worked with youth in the community and was instrumental in creat-ing the Summerland Asset Development Initiative and for her work with the Sum-merland Penny Lane Charity Shops.

She also was awarded an Olympic ring for managing the Canadian Olympic Swim Team.

“For us that knew my mom and the people in Summer-land who came to know and love her…we called her a jewel-ler,” said Warren Lloyd.

“She looked for diamonds in the rough. She had a tendency to cham-pion causes and the underdog. She turned what a lot of people would have

considered rough stones into precious stones.”

When Sylvia Mott, a Grade 12 student heard about Lloyd’s unfulfilled idea of the run, she and the Student Voice Com-mittee of the Sum-merland Secondary School, decided to pick up where she had left off.

They worked together with Jim Lloyd, Ellen’s hus-band, to make Ellen’s vision of the run a reality.

As organizers of the run they obtained local sponsorship to help with the pro-motion, prizes, food and beverages and all other aspects involved with an event such as this.

“There were a lot of people who knew Ellen and knew about the great things she had done for this commun-ity, so we were very lucky in having so many people who were interested in helping us out,” said Mott.

It is the hope of all those involved that this new community event, the Maud Run, will become another Summerland trad-ition.

Off and runningThe MAUD Run on Saturday drew an estimated 120 participants. The event, at Summerland Racquets Club, featured route lengths of one, three or five kilometres.

Weekend run supports Blood Services

We called her a jeweller. She turned what a lot of people would have con-sidered rough stones into precious stones.”

The reopening of the Summerland Legion kitchen was marked by a cere-mony attended by local dignitaries and Legion members on

Friday. Funding for the

extensive renovations came from the fed-eral New Horizons for Seniors program and from a bequest

from the estate of World War II veteran and long-time Legion member Arthur “Mac” McCorduck.

The kitchen is named “Mac’s Kitch-

en” in his honour.The work was

organized by Legion president Mike Bra-zeau and took more than 450 volunteer hours.

From left are MLA Dan Ashton, Legion past president John Dorn, Legion president Mike Brazeau, MP Dan Albas, Mayor Janice Perrino, Legion first vice-president Bob Wolleswinkel, Legion second vice president Irene Ferguson and Legion padre Rick Gay.

Due to the Thanks-giving holiday last week was a break week from the House of Commons before the House resumed again on Monday, Oct. 20.

Also occurring in Ottawa is a case that is before the Supreme Court of Canada on assisted suicide.

It is unknown at this point if this mat-ter will come before the House of Com-mons or not in the immediate future however it is a subject that I know many cit-izens can have strong views on.

On related sub-ject that has also arisen is the need for improved access to palliative care in Canada.

Currently it is estimated that only 15 per cent of Can-

adians have access to palliative care and while it is more com-mon in Okanagan-Coquihalla there are many regions in Canada where it is unavailable.

The 2013 Economic Action plan budget increased funding to the Pallium Foun-dation of Canada to increase palliative training for front line health care workers, however more work needs to be done in this area.

From the many families I have heard from who have lost a loved one palliative care can make some of life’s most challen-ging times more com-fortable.

This is a subject I will continue to sup-port increased prog-ress on in Ottawa.

Another subject

that I remain act-ively involved with in Ottawa involves Federal regula-tions with respect to invasive freshwater species such as the zebra and quagga mussel.

Although the 2014 boating season may be soon coming to an end, the need to have increased regu-lations in place at the border is of critical importance for the

protection of our freshwater lakes and not just here in Oka-nagan-Coquihal la but across British Columbia.

This will be a sub-ject that not unlike my private mem-ber ’s bill, I will continue to pursue until such time these regulations are in effect.

My thanks again to the work of the Oka-nagan Basin Water Board and many cit-izens who have also taken the time to share concerns on this important subject.

Recently the House of Commons Board of Internal Economy released the 2013-2014 Mem-bers Expenditures Report; this is the public document that forms part of my annual account-

ability report that I will be releasing in an MP report in the near future.

As always if you

have a comment, question or concern on matter before the House of Commons I can be reached at [email protected]

or toll free at 1-800-665-8711.

Emission limits set for LNG producers

by Tom FletcherBlack Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has set environmental rules aimed at mak-ing good on its prom-ise to export the world’s “cleanest” liquefied natural gas.

Environment Min-ister Mary Polak introduced legisla-tion Monday to set limits for greenhouse gas and conven-tional air pollution. It includes an option for LNG producers to buy carbon offsets or contribute to a “tech-nology fund” if their operations exceed

greenhouse gas lim-its.

Polak said the sys-tem will permit LNG development with-out exceeding the government’s green-house gas target of a 33 per cent reduction by 2020 and 80 per cent by 2050.

New air quality rules are also being established for nitro-gen dioxide and sul-phur dioxide emis-sions, based on a review of air quality in the Kitimat area.

The “benchmark” for greenhouse gas emissions is an average 0.16 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per tonne of LNG produced, which the govern-ment says is lower than the lowest-emit-ting LNG facilities in the U.S., Australia and Norway.

Companies that exceed the bench-mark will pay pen-alties on a sliding scale, and those that

perform better than the benchmark will receive a carbon off-set credit they can sell.

NDP environment critic Spencer Chan-dra Herbert said the technology fund idea appears to be bor-rowed from Alberta, where a similar fund hasn’t stopped green-house gas emissions from rising.

“I don’t know how we can meet our greenhouse gas reductions if we get five or seven LNG plants that the pre-mier seems to sug-gest are coming, despite evidence to the contrary,” Chan-dra Herbert said.

Polak said the tech-nology fund will be developed in consul-tation with industry. Carbon offsets will be used to pay for pro-jects in B.C. such as lower-emission trans-portation and build-ings, and there is no plan to count emis-

sions reductions from Asian users who use LNG to reduce coal use, she said.

Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver said the sliding scale for excess emissions means that taxpayers will be paying part of the penalties.

He predicts that B.C. will never com-pete in the LNG industry, given grow-ing international production of con-ventional and shale gas. But if it does, the province will not achieve reductions in emissions.

“This isn’t going to fool anybody,” Weav-er said. “It’s attempt-ing to look like the government still has a plan for greenhouse gas reductions.”

The emission rules will apply to LNG processing only, not pollution and green-house gases from production and pro-cessing of natural gas in northeastern B.C.

ChristopherBoisvert-Gilman

Mayor

Unity – Summerland is fractured into eight groups – (Business, Arts, Tourism, Agri-culture, Developers, Environment, Youth and Seniors) each is equally important.

A united Sum-merland means busi-nesses will grow; the arts will have a home; tourism will flourish; agriculture will be rec-ognized as precious; developers will be looked at for the value and worthiness that they can be; environ-ment protected; youth will have a choice to stay and work for more than minimum wages; seniors can enjoy life with policing 24 hours a day.

Unity happens with “servant-style” leader-

ship. Reaching out consulting, getting opinions and feed-back means all can be heard.

Lead by example: “Community Account-ability Sessions” will be reintroduced - part of my managerial style. The commun-ity needs answers. In camera meetings for employee issues only! We may agree to dis-agree but there must be a STOP put to a divisive, intimidating council with their own agenda.

A Summerland first will unite us.

Shalom.

RochFortinMayor

As the mayor, I believe this election will result in a council with a clear opinion on

where they stand with regards to this issue. I would propose that no motion related to the Agricultural Land Reserve exchange be considered for a per-iod of six weeks.

During this time a potentially new coun-cil will have the oppor-tunity to be made fully informed on the back-ground to this decision and be able to ask questions of staff that may not have been asked by the previous council.

I personally have many questions regarding long term infrastructure costs associated with both areas of land involved in the pos-sible exchange before I would feel sufficiently informed to make a final decision.

It is my goal to cre-ate a positive environ-ment for business opportunities in Sum-merland.

It is very important that Summerland be in a position to re- desig-nate land for develop-ment in a timely man-ner.

The review of the Summerland Growth Management Plan needs to be complet-ed and adopted.

DavidGregoryMayor

Enough of spin politics! The pub-lic is given selective, manipulated informa-tion.

We were told that the Okanagan Region-al Library is respon-sible for all the disrup-tion.

The regional library removed a success-ful business and 11 parking stalls from our Main Street.

After all the Region-al Library is paying for it.

The facts. We pay $454,699 a year for library services.

All previous library proposals were multi-story. The long time Summerland plan was to join the new library to a community cen-tre.

Joining buildings allows sharing of facilities (washrooms, classrooms, meeting rooms) making the possibility of a new community centre realistic. Major mis-take!

The public was told Summerland needs this ‘land swap’ to build and sustain our economy. Really?

There were three publicly owned downtown lands where we had total control over build-ing size but coun-cil chose one-storey buildings.

Having more people living down-town really would build and sustain our economy.

Orv RobsonMayor

Since the 1996 Official Community

Plan was put in effect, our growth rate has been less than 0.5 per cent.

You must have growth to be a thriv-ing community. Com-munities our size in the valley have grown from 12.5 to 35 per cent.

To have economic development you must have growth.

This provides employment to vari-ous trades, contract-ors, suppliers, and service providers.

Our entry level lots and homes are priced out of range for young families who are unable to purchase here so they move to Pentic-ton and areas outside of Summerland which affects our school registrations.

Major five-year con-struction projects are taking place south of Summerland and we have no suitable housing to meet their needs, neither for pur-chase nor rent.

The spin off jobs from these locations will attract labor and professionals to the South Okanagan.

It would be a bonus for Summerland to capitalize on some of this growth.

That is why I feel changes to the OCP are imperative.

PeterWaterman

Mayor

I believe the most critical issue is the economic health of the community. I don’t just mean downtown retail, but all facets of busi-ness in town.

A concept is do we, as a community know where we want to go and what we want to be. A core aspect is the Official Commun-ity Plan.

This document sets out growth patterns and should create a certainty for business and development with only minor adjust-ments for a minimum of five years.

The recent discus-sion about the removal of 200 acres of agri-cultural land is a major

change in direction for the community and the OCP.

The public ex-pressed their opinion in the first phase of the recent review pro-cess.

Preservation of the aesthetics of the rural urban mix, and preser-vation of the environ-mental aspects were deemed critical.

Understanding by all business sectors of how to take advan-tage of this reality will move our economy forward.

RichardBarkwillCouncillor

The most important single issue facing our community is the land swap.

It would cost the taxpayers millions of dollars because the value of the taxpayer owned land in the Prairie Valley area will go down signifi-cantly. 

This value is being transferred to the owners of the land that comes out of the Agricultural Land Reserve, with no compensation to the taxpayers of Summer-land!

The current council said that the Munici-pality would be com-pensated in the form of increased tax rev-enue. 

This is simply not true. 

The increase in taxes from that area would only pay for its current services.

Installing services to the municipally-owned land at the foot of Cartwright will increase its value more than they cost.

Deer Ridge and the municipal lands in West Prairie Valley that were recently taken out of the ALR would then become econom-ic to develop.

This would provide all the development potential Summer-land needs for the next 50 years, plus help fund our infra-structure.

Page 15: Summerland Review, October 23, 2014

Toni Boot

Councillor

Lack of communi-cation is the single, most important issue facing our community.

Just like any rela-tionship between two people or entities, there must be open and honest com-munication between council and the resi-dents of Summerland. Ongoing dialogue and opportunities for resi-dents’ voices to be heard builds trust and respect. This, in turn, leads enthusiasm and a collaborative spirit.

When we return to acting as leaders and representing those we serve we can address – as a united com-munity – any issues and tough decisions that come our way.

Erin CarlsonCouncillor

Summerland is at an important cross-road. The decision we make vis a vis the land swap has social, environmental, and economic ramifica-tions and will deter-mine the future direc-tion of our town for

generations to come. The proposed

Urban Growth Area recommends remov-ing 198 acres of arable, flat farmland near town and was put forward by the current council as a quick and easy fix to our financial woes.

An overwhelm-ing percentage of the public does not agree with the current pro-posal. I would like to bring this discussion back to council and properly factor in the public message. 

 JohnDorn

Councillor

The primary issue, the land swap, has been said by some to be essential to promo-ting growth, but this is incorrect.

Planting houses on valuable agricultural lands and destroying farmer’s forever jobs makes no sense.

It is estimated that Summerland has a thousand building lots in inventory that can be developed. We need to attract new businesses with jobs and help existing firms expand rather than hope that if houses are built, “they will come”.

The district has three core area lots that could be made available for hous-ing to attract younger families who are at the peak of their spending lives.

We should consider leasing these lots to increase affordability.

Expanding the dis-

trict’s commercial/industrial tax base is key.

Businesses do not consume more servi-ces than they pay for like residential taxpay-ers do.

Joel Gregg

Councillor

In my opinion, our town’s greatest issue is “growth without compromise.”  

Over the past three national censuses, our town has grown sub-stantially less than our neighbouring com-munities.  

I appreciate our “small town” feel and identity, but in order to remain vibrant we must grow.

This growth does not need to come at the expense of our charming small town character and vital agricultural heritage.  

Main Street vacan-cies and other dormant properties around town currently do not portray “prosperity.”  

The best solution I see is for us to target a growth rate of eight to 10 per cent over the next four years.  

Measured and con-trolled growth will in turn spur develop-ment, spawn new business, and sustain both our existing busi-ness and agriculture community.  

Council’s role in this is to carefully review development proposals to ensure they help us achieve our growth tar-gets without adversely impacting our town as a whole.

RobertHackingCouncillor

Building a commun-ity that can attract and retain young families and professionals is the key concern we face right now.  

Our commercial operators are hard-working and innova-tive, but they urgently need a greater base of key consumers to sus-tain and find success throughout the year.  

To attract and retain families and profes-sionals we must plan our community to have available a broad range of housing options.

Our families and entrepreneurs should be able to both work and live in this com-munity, instead of out-side it.

By building the diversity of Summer-land we will become strong and resili-

ent, and we will also find new ideas, new energy, and especially, new neighbours.

DougHolmes

Councillor

The land swap proposal has left the community polarized and a new council will need to heal the div-isions.

Whether or not we proceed with the swap will be determined by the electorate through their choice of   coun-cil.

We must respect the wishes of the majority, whichever way the vote goes, and move on.

We must return the community to a place of civility and respect, shift back from “us vs. them” to “we’re in this together.”

To restore public trust, council needs consensus-builders

who embrace the principles of account-ability and careful con-sideration.

We can’t continue with the old top-down style of governance where councillors talk amongst themselves and make Machiavel-lian decisions.

People today have access to more infor-mation and are more conversant with issues than ever, and a new era of open govern-ment and decentral-ized decision-making is upon us.

Summerland coun-cil requires fresh think-ing to redesign the way it functions and how it engages with citizens.

DeniseMacDonaldCouncillor

I believe the single most important issue facing our commun-ity is the perceived

amount of debt — for an Okanagan bed-room community of our size — that the district has incurred over the last few years, and how ser-vicing this debt will impact our commun-ity in regards to future taxation rates and the ability to afford other major infrastructure projects and upgrades that are expected or needed.

With regards to the future access-ing of senior gov-ernment programs, I believe that council will be faced with a very daunting task of evaluating which grants are worth going after and which ones will be have to be forfeited - it’s dif-ficult to give up “free” money but one can go broke buying things on sale.

BruceHallquistCouncillor

There is more than one important issue

facing our community, for me there are three.

Planning for much needed future growth, of which there has only been an increase in our population of 696 over the past 15 years. Doesn’t make for a sustainable com-munity.

Replacement and upgrading of our aging infrastructure and coming up with an affordable finan-cial plan to do so over the next 25 to 50 years.

Coming up with

plans to cash in on non-revenue pro-ducing commun-ity assets for the purpose of helping fund replacement of our aging infrastruc-ture and help take the pressure off your property taxes.

A good example being the gravel extraction contract that the current coun-cil has established, with the funds going into reserves for future capital projects.

Daniel Papadopoulos

Councillor

Healthy growth in our infrastructure is an important issue facing our commun-ity.

Other councillor candidates have men-tioned this as well in previous articles. 

In Canada,  the population increase between 2001 and 2011 has been 10.7 per cent.

In British Columbia it is 12.6 per cent. Sum-merland had a five per cent increase. 

Driving through Vancouver and the surrounding Tri-Cities this week, I noticed the amounts of work being done on infra-structure. 

The downtowns are being updated, the surrounding areas are being developed.

Looking at the construction though I noticed the cookie-cutter town homes. 

I do not envision Summerland as being a uniform city of matching houses. 

The town is unique and it deserves archi-tecture that stands out  in the Okanagan.

Build on the exist-ing beauty here.

JanetPeake

Councillor We need more tax

revenues which  we could acquire  by expanding our tax base  through attract-ing new business-es; commercial and industrial who would then be contributing taxes.

Those dollars we could use to build our capital reserves.

With the West Jet daily direct flights to Calgary there is an increased  opportun-ity to go to those working in the oil patch  and sell  the community of Sum-merland  as  the most beautiful place to live with an exceptional climate  allowing a very active life style.

A  safe place with  good schools, great teachers, amaz-ing beaches, with good sporting oppor-tunities both  summer and winter.  A caring, friendly community with the availability of a  range of  wellness services doctors, nat-uropaths, chiroprac-tics,  reflexology and other therapies. All here  within a region

of world class winer-ies, with a great  food and hospitality sec-tor.

Families with good incomes who buy products and need services will help to revitalize our down-town core and provide more  economic activ-ity for our established businesses.

KenRodockerCouncillor

There are so many issues facing our community, it would be difficult to pick one as the most import-ant. 

However, business retention encompass-es a lot of issues. 

This hits close to home for me as I believe that with the right initiatives for businesses our town could be very suc-cessful. 

Healthy businesses make for a healthy town.

Mark Smed

Councillor

How do we main-tain our lifestyle and allow for change.

Balance will be achieved when we consider all points of view, make decisions based on facts and

are transparent in our thinking.

People are more likely to consider other points of view when they have a better understanding of the situation. 

When we feel like we are being manipu-lated and deceived we destroy the com-munity and create apathy.

Martin Van AlphenCouncillor

The current Urban Growth Plan with the divisiveness that it has created in Summer-land.

This single issue has torn our commun-ity apart. It has turned friends against friends and neighbours against neighbours.

We need to take a step back and let the Agriculture Land Com-mission review the application.

It may be accepted or rejected in part or in whole or phased in.

At this time, I am not prepared to rescind the applica-tion as no one knows what the ALC deci-sion will be.

Erin Trainer

Councillor

Short term: I believe

the most important issue right now is to bring our community back together (cam-paigning has shown me how divided we are!)

Just like starting a new chapter, the next council has the opportunity to work collaboratively, pro-vide strong leader-ship, and set a posi-tive tone — one that upholds the princi-ples of good govern-ance.

Long term: Upgrading or build-ing new infrastructure. I believe we should review our services, make a list of prior-ities, start planning a schedule, and — most importantly — deter-mine how we’re going to pay for these pro-jects.

MartyFisherCouncil

A careful har-monization between nature, infrastructure and development, in that order, which is tough.

Being new here (less than a year,) I’m accumulating obser-vations of my sur-roundings and that small-town feeling. Personally, I hope it stays that way.

Incentives are needed for the many vacant retail outlets to be filled and local businesses supported by all of us, which in turn will benefit every-one.

Literature, art and music is the other side of importance in life, and hopeful-ly, eventually, there’s tranquility.

VICTORIA – The shift to digital documents has prompted the B.C. government to contract out print-ing services, long performed by the Queen’s Printer.

Press and copier operations in the Queen’s Printer building next to the B.C. legislature are to be phased out by the summer of 2015, contracted out to private printers. The move affects 31 unionized staff, in an effort

to reduce costs as part of the govern-ment’s core review of services.

“Demand for printing has declined with the growth of elec-tronic publishing and digital infor-mation, and this is true for gov-ernment as well,” said Andrew Wilkinson, minister of technology, innovation and citizens’ services.

Wilkinson said a transition plan for employees is being worked on with their union, Unifor, and the Public Service Agency.

The Summerland  Atomic Fireball Jets Atom House Team is off to a strong start  with a 2-0 record on Friday.

The Atomic Fire-balls, sponsored by McDonalds, travelled to Penticton to take on Penticton #3 Atom House team.

Opening the scor-ing in the first period for Summerland was Amy Berekoff with a pass from Josh New-ton.

P e n t i c t o n answered right back.

With seven min-utes left  to play in the first period, Ethan Dunley-Owen put Summerland ahead.

It was a back and forth match and in the second period, Penticton scored twice to put it at 3-3

tie. Heading into the

third period, the Summerland Atomic Fireball’s Sam Fortin  popped the go-ahead goal at the 13:36 mark, with the assist from Ethan Dunley-Owen.

Penticton got the puck back in a mad scramble in front of Summerland’s net to once again tie it up.

With minutes left, Holden Girard went end to end with a great shot to put the Summerland Atomic Fireballs ahead 5-4.

The Penticton team pulled their goalie but could not answer back.

Sheldon Biggley made some really great saves for Sum-merland, with the whole team playing well.  

The Atomic Fire-balls have a team award for each game called the heart and hustle award.

It is an award giv-

ing to the individual player who shows heart and hustle each time he or she is out on the ice, and for   this game  the

heart and hustle award went to Roan McKelvie who had an outstanding game.

On Saturday, the team  traveled to

West Kelowna to take on the West Kelowna Titans.

Summerland fin-ished on top for the 10-6 win with a lot of

scoring. Morgan Gove and

Sam Fortin led  the team with a hat trick each.

Adding to the scoring were Car-son Hoey, Kaylee Bird, Tyler Algar and  Dunley-Owen scor-ing each with one.

Branden Tulkaluk and Biggley shared the net, with both goalies making great saves to help the team with the win.

The Atomic Fire-balls  team were  skat-ing well again and making those passes count.

The heart and hustle award went to Tulkaluk, who start-ed in net for the Fire-balls and made some nice glove hand saves and was a firecracker in both games this weekend.

Carla McLeod Special to the Review

The Summerland Bantam Rep Jets, sponsored by the Summerland Dental Centre, were hosted by Rutland on Friday.

Summerland dom-inated shots on net in the first period.

The first goal went to Liam Trewhitt assisted by Remy Houde.

Then Remy Houde made the second goal unassisted. In the second period, Houde had a sweet breakaway and scored again with assist to Steven Sauer.

As soon as play resumed, defenceman

Simon Paul slammed it in unassisted for a 4-2 lead.

The third period saw some five on three action, that was neatly shut down by Sauer.

Carter Tower scored the final goal of the game unassist-ed for a 5-2 win.

Summerland Jets travelled to Kam-loops on Sunday and suffered their first loss of the season.

Jason Scherban scored the first goal unassisted.

Tower scored unassisted and Jason grabbed a second goal with assist to

Mereno Coco. Summerland went

into the second per-iod down one goal and, with waning spirits quickly lost ground.

Goalie Ben Bow-yer blocked 22 shots on net but Kamloops gained a five point lead.

The Jets came out strong in the third with Sauer streaking off the bench to score from the blue line.

The fifth and sixth goals went to Will Gray and Darren Keilty, respectively.

The final score was 15-6.
