Charity shops contributed $2 million for youth

by John Arendt

Summerland’s Penny Lane Bargain Outlet stores, which provided funding for the youth of

the community, will close their doors at the end of May.

The Summerland Charity Shops Society announced the closures on Monday.

The first of the two shops, on Victoria Road North, opened in July,

2002, with a second loca-tion, on Main Street, opening after that.

In the past, Sears Can-ada had been the sup-plier for Penny Lane, but that relationship came to an end at the end of Octo-ber.

“We are very thankful

to Sears Canada for their many years of partner-ship with Penny Lane,” the society said in a news release. “Without the sup-port of Sears, Penny Lane would have never been able to help the youth and groups of the South Oka-nagan.”

Once the stores are closed, the society plans to find tenants for both locations.

The society also plans to establish the Penny Lane Foundation, in order to continue assisting the youth of Summerland.

Input sought about growthby John Arendt

Members of council and planning staff want input from the public for the municipality’s new Urban Growth Strategy.

The engagement cam-paign, Where do we Grow from Here?, runs from April to September.

It begins with an online

survey at www.future-summerland.com. The survey is also available at municipal hall.

Updates are also avail-able online via Twitter through @summerlandbc and at Facebook.com/summerlandbc.

Community dialogues will be held at municipal

hall on April 18 from 2 to 4 p.m. and on April 20 from 1 to 3 p.m.

An interactive family-friendly Cardboard City event will be held at the Earth week street festival on April 19 from 3 to 6 p.m.

Municipal planner Ian McIntosh said the growth

strategy covers some of the contents of the Official Community Plan, which was adopted in 2008. Sec-tion 4.3 covers the muni-cipal growth strategy.

The community plan passed on a 4-3 vote and since its adoption, several significant changes have taken place.

The biggest of these came early in 2010 when the Summerland Hills Golf Resort development was abandoned.

When the plan was adopted, Summerland Hills was the only area set aside for future growth in the community.

Contemplating growthMunicipal planner Ian McIntosh is compiling data and comments for the review of the municipality’s new Urban Growth Strategy. The strategy will be part of the Official Community Plan. Members of council and municipal staff hope to have at least 1,000 people providing input.

Don't park in Manitoba!

If your goiing east this summer, be careful to lock your car in Winnipeg. I say that because a recent study has shown that Manitoba has a car theft rate that is twice the national average. That's right, twice the average!! Why this is the case, no one seems to have an answer for. Over 10,000 auto theft claims were reported to Manitoba Public Insurance Corp. last year. That's 1,148 vehicles stolen per 100,000 people.

BC ranks behind Manitoba in these categories, however, we are still on the higher end of the scale. So the bottom line is, lock up your vehicle no matter where you are. Many studies have proven that most car theft is an opportunity related event. That is to say, if you give thieves the opportunity (open doors, keys in ignition, etc.) then you are dramatically increasing the chances of your car being stolen.

Municipality will reopen site at Trout Creek pullout during the summer

by John Arendt

The sani-dump at the Trout Creek pull-out in Summerland will reopen this sum-mer on a trial basis.

At the municipal council meeting on Monday evening, council voted unani-mously to reopen the location for May to September on a trial basis.

In the past, a sani-dump facility had been in place at the site but it was later shut down because of

the costs involved in the operation of the system and the effects it had on the munici-pality’s sewer system.

Don Darling, dir-ector of engineering and public works for the municipality, said municipal staff exam-ined eight sites before choosing the Trout Creek pullout.

“There’s really no ideal location,” he said.

In a report to coun-cil, Darling said the sani-dump’s location, near the sewage treat-ment plant had been a problem in the past.

“The Trout Creek sani-dump’s close proximity to the waste water treat-

ment plant does not allow sufficient time to dilute the emulsi-fied solids prior to entering the waste water treatment plant,” the report said. “This causes problems with the treatment process.”

The location also resulted in high costs because of the additional chemical requirements at the treatment plant.

As a result, the wastes will no long-er be treated at the waste water treat-ment plant. Instead, the wastes will be pumped and hauled away. At the busiest times in the sum-mer, Darling expects

the facility will have to be pumped three times a week.

Council will also implement a user pay system for the site. Darling recom-mended a user fee of $5 for those using the service.

Members of coun-cil had concerns about the sani-dump.

“The public does want this service,” said Mayor Janice

Perrino. “We want to be able to provide it.”

“I think this is a good compromise,” said Coun. Bruce Hallquist.

Coun. Orv Rob-son said a better site will be needed in the future.

“My concern is the location,” he said. “I don’t think it’s a safe location. I think there are more reasonable areas.”

Wine tastingKurt Freistadt, seasonal visitor experience supervisor at Sumac Ridge Estate Winery, pours wine for a delegation of Veuve Clicquot growers and producers from the Champaign region in France on Tuesday afternoon. A total of 35 people were at the winery for the tasting of Sumac Ridge’s traditional method sparkling wines. An earlier group attended a tasting at the winery on March 26.

Planners given medals

Two members of Summerland’s plan-ning department were awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal at the municipal council meeting on Monday evening.

Ian McIntosh, dir-ector of development services and Julie McGuire, climate action coordinator and planner were presented with the medals for their work on the update of Summerland’s zon-ing bylaw.

The update work began three years ago and took a year to complete.

The process used in updating the bylaw was sent to the Fed-eration of Canadian Municipalities and Summerland won a

sustainability award as a result.

Officials at the Federation of Can-adian Municipal-ities then recom-mended McIntosh and McGuire for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Award.

“Truly, our staff is what makes our com-munity so outstand-ing,” Mayor Janice Perrino said when she presented the medals.

The Queen Eliza-beth II Diamond Jubilee Medal was created to mark the 2012 celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the throne.

A total of 60,000 Canadians will be recognized with the medals.

VICTORIA –This is the first of a series of policy commen-taries on the four main parties contesting the 2013 B.C. elec-tion.

I’m starting with the B.C. Green Party, which has high-er than usual hopes for the 2013 election. It was also the first to put out a substantial policy docu-ment, albeit one that is still being debated and altered.

Green Book 2013 continues the Utopian positions that only a party with no chance of form-ing a government has the lux-ury to put forward.

For example, they would double the area of parks in B.C., but take 100 years to do it.

Immediately, they would almost double the carbon tax, taking it from seven to 12 cents on a litre of gasoline.

Greens would extend this steeply increased carbon tax to industries such as natural gas and cement production.

Leader Jane Sterk told me she expects cement producers and the like to adapt, rather than shut down as their com-petitive position erodes.

And what about the extra billions in carbon tax rev-enues? Sterk says most should continue to go to income tax reductions, as is now the case, because the purpose is to change consumption patterns, not to increase overall tax rev-enue.

Most, but not all.“We think there is an argu-

ment to be made for put-ting, for a period of time, the increased revenue from the carbon tax into creating the infrastructure that allows people to benefit from a car-bon tax,” Sterk said.

That means transit, and pot-entially retrofits of homes and other buildings as well.

Tax increase aside, this is essentially the NDP position too.

The Greens emphasize wind and geothermal power. Sterk faces the awkward task of arguing against hydroelectric expansion.

A Green government would cancel the Site C dam project on the Peace River.

Sterk says it would only serve as a subsidy to lique-fied natural gas exports, which she doesn’t believe material-ize as international competitors develop.

The Greens’ star candidate, University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver, agrees.

Both point to vast reserves of Russian gas that may well get to Asia more quickly and cheaply.

Sterk said the 35,000 existing gas wells in northern B.C. “are not going to be shut down.”

Actually, in the absence of LNG exports, that is exactly what would happen to many of them.

The U.S. has its own shale gas supplies, and is B.C.’s only current export customer. Con-

verting transport trucks and BC Ferries to LNG fuel isn’t going to maintain the vast industry blooming in northern B.C.

The official Green Party pos-ition is to place a moratorium on B.C. gas drilling while a comprehensive water use policy is developed.

Current innovations such as reusing municipal wastewater are ignored.

The Green platform also demands disclosure of chem-icals used in hydraulic fractur-ing, which the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission has already done.

If one were to design a self-fulfilling prophecy that B.C.’s LNG project is doomed to fail, the Green Party platform would be a good place to start.

Reading through Green Book 2013, I’m left with the impression that much of it remains calculated as a sooth-ing message for urban voters who have been convinced it’s courageous to drive their cars down to an anti-tanker pro-test.

If Weaver, Sterk or any other Greens get elected, it will be surfing a wave of protest votes from people weary of the B.C. Liberals and the NDP. It will not be due to the practicality or even internal consistency of their polices.

It’s still pretty easy being Green.

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

A sani-dump at the Trout Creek pullout will benefit visitors with recreat iona l vehicles, but it could prove to be an inconvenient service for the municipality to provide.

The last time a sani-dump ser-vice was offered at that location, dealing with the wastes was a costly problem.

This time, by pumping and hauling the wastes, some difficul-ties will be eliminated, but it is still far from a perfect solution.

bad apples

The murals in place at the Summerland Health Centre are necessary, even if they do not provide a direct med-ical benefit to those being treated there.

Often, a medical centre is an overwhelming experience and for children, it can be extremely traumatic.

Any efforts to provide some-thing calming will help to reduce a little of the tension in such a facility.

ourpickGrowth

plansOf all the decisions made

at the municipal level, those dealing with land have the most significant impact.

Once a development pro-ceeds, it will remain for many decades and possibly longer.

The update of the Urban Growth Strategy is badly needed as the growth plan in Summerland’s Official Community Plan is now out of date and in need of an overhaul.

In the 2008 plan, the pro-posed Summerland Hills Golf Resort was set aside as the area for Summerland’s future growth.

When the proposal was abandoned two years later, the plan no longer had an adequate and clearly defined area for future growth.

In addition, the municipal-ity’s approach to development changed in the years following the adoption of the plan.

The preference, at the present council table, is for infilling and developing heavily in the area near the core of the community.

An easy approach to the new Urban Growth Strategy would be to simply let muni-cipal officials and consultants draft the plan and then have council adopt it.

In the long run, however, such an approach would be unwise as the plan would not necessarily have the support of the public.

A better option is to pro-vide as many opportunities as possible for the public to be able to provide input and raise questions.

The result becomes a plan which the public can support and embrace.

Of course the public input cannot work unless the public takes an interest in the strat-egy.

Unless a large number of Summerlanders offer their comments and suggestions, the plan will not truly repre-sent the wishes of the com-munity.

During the public input process, please take the time to examine the options and offer your own input.

The early years

Home-grown qualityThough this photo was taken around 1910, these young orchards in Prairie Valley are a tribute to Earth Week. Farmers and orchardists in Summerland have provided residents with food choices since the first pioneers tilled the ground and planted the seeds. Choosing local food not only supports our producers and reduces the carbon footprint of shipping, it just plain tastes better. Home-grown—one of the benefits of living in Summerland.

Column on Darkwoods had errorsDear Editor: The recent release

of a report by the B.C. Auditor General has led to a vigorous debate on the future of carbon neutral government.

As a seller of car-bon credits to the Pacific Carbon Trust, the Nature Conserv-ancy of Canada looks forward to any clarity that may result in the B.C. carbon market. However, a recent column, “Green-house gas leaks from trust” by Tom Fletch-er, perpetuates fac-

tual errors.Acquisition of a

conservation pro-ject is the beginning of our work, not the end.

When NCC pur-chased Darkwoods in 2008, our expensive, long-term commit-ment to the conserva-tion lands began.

From the outset, revenue from carbon sales was seen as critical to supporting this stewardship effort.

Without the possi-bility of carbon sales NCC could not have

undertaken a project of the size and scope of Darkwoods. Yet, those facts are con-veniently overlooked by Mr. Fletcher.

Further he fails to understand the base-line used to calculate stored carbon at Dark-woods. Independent evaluations were not based on the possibil-ity of NCC clear-cut-ting the property, but rather on what would have happened had NCC not acquired Darkwoods.

The alternative was acquisition by a

market-based buyer. The land would have been intensively logged and subdiv-ided.

Mr. Fletcher asks, rhetorically if NCC would have logged Darkwoods. “Legal-ly, it could not,” he writes. On the con-trary, NCC does log the Darkwoods site. We operate a small, sustainable harvest based on conserva-tion values that sup-ports the property and the community. In fact, overall our ownership of Dark-

woods has resulted in a $13 million eco-nomic benefit to the community, to date.

The Darkwoods Forest Carbon pro-ject was the first of its kind undertaken in Canada. The pro-ject is certified under the Verified Carbon Standard; a standard that ensures a car-bon project follows internationally-recog-nized protocols and has tangible environ-mental benefits.

The Nature Con-servancy of Canada spent three years

developing the pro-ject, and exercised due diligence at every step while working with various industry experts. The project also fulfilled all prov-incial regulations and met all standards for carbon offsets.

More important-ly, Darkwoods is a world-class conserva-tion project. Without revenue from forest carbon, the long-term protection of this vital 55,000 hectare property and the fate of animals and plants that find a haven

there would be in jeopardy.

The proceeds from the carbon sales went back into the long-term stewardship of Darkwoods — for the sake of nature and the people of British Columbia.

Darkwoods ensures in perpetuity, British Columbians will see the magnificent forest for the trees.

Switch to natural gas and saveNatural gas offers convenience, comfort and affordability. And when you switch from fuel oil or propane to a high-efficiency natural gas heating system, you could get a $1,000 rebate.3

To learn more, visit fortisbc.com/switchnshrink.1These are approximate annual natural gas costs for space heating of a typical household in specific FortisBC service areas as identified. A typical household is defined as an existing single family house approximately 2,300 square feet with three occupants, average insulation and heating systems older than 15 years. The savings will be the difference between what you pay for current heating costs and natural gas costs. Calculations based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of January 2013 and fuel oil rates in each service area identified as of November 2012, and include the applicable carbon tax. Savings may vary by household. Savings do not include potential rebates and/or incentives.2Fuel rates for the Columbia region are similar to those of the Interior south and Interior north regions as of January 2013.3Terms and conditions apply.

into Summerland Seniors’ Vil-lage, the staff there requested that my mother be seen by a geriatric specialist to review and reduce her medication.

I arrived one day to see my mother walking toward me with a huge smile on her face.

The care aides explained to me that they had borrowed a pair of hip protectors from another resi-dent to see if my mother (now that her medication had been reduced) could safely get out of

her wheelchair and walk on her own.

I went out that day and bought two pairs of hip pro-tectors for her to use and she was able to put the wheelchair away.

My father’s medication was also reviewed and reduced which resulted in his becoming more active again and able to participate in the many activ-ities that are offered to the resi-dents.

These are just a few exam-ples of the way that the staff

has endeavoured to not just provide quality care for my parents, but also to enhance their lives.

Moving into Summerland Senior’s Village was the best thing that could have happened for my parents at that time. From the day that they settled in, there was a noticeable recov-ery in their contentment and their conditions improved.

I try to visit my parents every day and I have gotten to know everyone who works there very well.

I admire and appreciate them all – the care aides, nursing staff, recreation, cleaning staff, food service – everyone there works together to create an atmosphere that is as much like a family, as it is a care facility.

All while providing a level of care that is second to none.

I believe that at a certain point in one’s life, quality of life is as important as quantity. That is what Summerland Senior’s Vil-lage has offered to my parents.

Dear Editor:When I saw the

Wharton Street plans on the front page of The Summerland Review, I had a dis-mal feeling: What an ugly design!

The bottom store fronts are not inte-grated with the rest of the structure.

The mid brick

section looks like a bleak factory with unimaginative win-dows, and the top looks like a chicken coop.

So this is what we’re going to have to look at on our public property, an uninspiring building obscuring the view of lovely hills? Too bad!

The first design we were shown by this company almost a year ago, had dark brown brick and heavy black horizon-tal accents.

At least this new design has lighter, friendlier colours. Dark brown brick with heavy black lines did not fit into

our environment. One wonders

about the design capability of this company.

The public won-ders, too, about the construction, which will be concrete for the first four storeys and wood after that.

Is this going to be another building that will be torn down in

40 or 50 years? It will be occupy-

ing a major spot in our town’s centre and should have grace and style. It doesn’t.

What about the fire danger in the upper wooden floors?

We don’t have fire equipment to reach that high, but we’re being told that

equipment can be perched on the upper concrete level if need be. And then a fire can be fought from there.

It doesn’t seem that there’s any way to enforce quality into this construction either.

We have to “hope” that it will be built well.

There are lots of empty condos in Summerland, and it’s not too difficult to find out why.

A handsome build-ing in our town’s centre could be an enhancement.

This one in its present form won’t be.

Dear Editor:In response to Thursday

March 21 Letters to the Editor Re: Summerland Seniors’ Vil-lage.

Negative coverage or is it facts that have to be addressed to protect the seniors?

It is a wonderful facility but, it should be running at 100 per cent protection and accountability to all seniors living there and anywhere else in the province.

If the staff are wonderful and caring on a continual basis why did mom die a pre-mature death?

Why wasn’t dad missed after the first or even second meal? Check out the facts.

Yes there are some won-derful and caring staff but it should be 100 per cent for all seniors.

If you knew us and had the facts you would know what role we played in the care of our aging parents.

The alert pendant is great but unfortunately if you are unconscious it doesn’t help you.

We are very happy for those individuals who are fortunate enough to be in good health,

experienced good staff and workers. It should be like that for the whole campus of care.

This is a wonderful facility but it needs great manage-ment and accountability.

I do believe Interior Health is still in residential care, that tells me they are still required. Possibly not at 100 per cent yet.

Don’t judge before having all the facts and walk a mile in our shoes. Then ask yourself, if this happened to me how would I feel?

Edi InglisSummerland

Dear Editor:Here is my per-

spective as a family member who has a mother living in Summerland Seniors’ Village for nearly five years and from my experience as a vol-unteer.

First, my mom lived in assisted/independent living but now lives in one of the 80 residential care beds.

There are 120

assisted/independ-ent living suites with 18 being funded by Interior Health.

There are up to 200 residents living at Summerland Seniors’ Village.

Not only are there 150 full time and part time staff who come up and down the valley to work at Summerland Sen-iors’ Village but also a dedicated group of volunteers within

the recreation depart-ment who help with the many activities offered to all resi-dents, six days a week.

I am at the facil-ity almost on a daily basis, either visiting or as a volunteer.

The residents I have met are a great and fun-loving group of people.

The staff are very caring and accessible any time of the day or

night to family mem-bers.

Family members should be involved.

If you cannot reach a resident when call-ing and you become concerned, you can call the LPN’s or aide’s direct num-ber, which is read-ily accessible to all family members.

I know this because when I have not been able to reach my family member,

I have called staff. They look into my concern immediately, day or night.

There is a family council which meets once a month.

At our meetings, all are pleased with the quality of care our family member is receiving.

Yes, there were some issues which needed to be addressed.

These issues are

being addressed or have been addressed and improved upon. The morale is great among staff, as far as I can see, and they are pleased with the improvements being made.

Some residents have lived here since the day it opened. Some staff have worked here since the day it opened nearly seven years ago.

It takes special

people to work in a care facility with the many different needs that residents require.

I have the utmost respect for these care-givers.

I know if anyone has questions you would be welcomed at Summerland Sen-iors’ Village to speak with staff and resi-dents or go on a tour.

Rona TaylorSummerland

Facility not yet at 100 per cent

Staff are caring and accessible

Blame in tragedy must be shared by manyDear Editor:The media keeps

on bringing up the tragic death of Alfredo Bonaldi.

I know we were all saddened by this, as well as the death of his wife Louisa, but we cannot bring them back, we can only hope that the resulting attention can cause a wake up call to everyone in the province if not the entire country.

It is painfully evi-dent that Alfredo’s case is not unique.

When this sort of thing happens, it is obviously very emo-tional. Many people are hurt. There are feelings of grief, anger, guilt and per-haps a need to assign blame.

So, who is to blame?

I ask you to consid-er all of the following.

Is it the care work-ers at the facility who are trying to spread themselves out to take care of too many people?

Is it the facility

owners who are in business and cutting corners to provide themselves with a larger profit?

Is it the facility administrators for not clearly indicating to families the level of care and attention to be provided for the price they are pay-ing?

Is it the family for not understanding the level of care and attention to be pro-vided and not under-standing their role in taking care of their

aging relatives?Is it the health care

system for not pro-viding enough fund-ing and supervision to the elderly and the care facilities?

Is it the taxpay-ers who are wanting special services but are unwilling to pay more for them?

Is it the govern-ments, federal and provincial, who are not listening to aver-age Canadians and cut spending where people want it the most while continu-

ing to spend where people want it the least?

It seems to me that this blame, although not distributed even-ly, is shared by many.

We must work

together and all do our part rather than blaming one person or group and hoping they will fix things all by themselves.

This problem is not going to go away

all by itself and we are all getting older, living longer and demanding more.

At present, Penny Lane provides fund-ing to youth pro-grams as well as two youth counsellors at Summerland Second-ary School, in part-nership with the Oka-nagan Skaha School District.

The society also supports the Break-

fast Club programs at Giant’s Head Ele-mentary School and Summerland Middle School.

The members of the board of direc-tors are Orv Robson, chair; Bruce Hall-quist, Allan Fabbi, Rick Thorpe and Scott Boswell.

“I’ve enjoyed every minute,” Hallquist said. “We’ve had a great board of direc-tors.”

He added that Art Sewell, the former chair of the society, had a vision for a 10-year tenure for the charity shops, with a legacy fund set up

after that time.

Robson said the s o c i e t y will con-tinue to p r o v i d e f u n d -ing for the two counsellors at Sum-

merland Secondary School for the next year.

“We feel that they provide a great ser-vice to our youth,” he said.

He added that the two outlets had good staff and were well received by the com-munity.

include new climate action commitments and an updated zon-ing bylaw.

“There are many issues, from hous-ing costs to local jobs, sus-tainable a g r i -cul ture , c o m -m u n i t y services as well as c l i m a t e a c t i o n , that are all impacted by the district’s choices at this time,” said Mayor Janice Perrino.

McIntosh said the Urban Growth Strat-egy will be done with plenty of input from the community.

In addition to the survey, the munici-

pality will hold open houses and will go to the public to get feedback.

McIntosh said the questions will be asked to get a sense of the priorities from

the public. Once it has been completed, staff will work to come up with options in order to address the wishes of the public.

He added that the plan will involve some compromises since various models for growth will be

considered. The sur-vey reflects some of the factors involved.

“It asks some pretty tough ques-tions and it recog-nizes there are some tradeoffs to make,” he said.

McIntosh said the municipality has set a goal of at least 1,000 people, representing a full cross-section of the community, pro-viding input.

“We want the rank and file to tell us what they think,” he said. “We’ve always believed that if you involve the electorate in a meaningful way, it’s not that hard.”

Once the pub-lic input has been received, planning department staff will draft the new strat-egy. McIntosh said it should be completed by the end of the year.

Proceeds are being used for this project which has provided office space for local service organizations and an expanded

spot for the Sum-merland Food Bank. So you can enjoy an an old-time musical melodrama complete with boos, hisses, cheers and jeers and support a good cause at the same time. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 18 to 20 at 7:30 p.m. and also Saturday, April 20 at 2 p.m. at Summerland United Church.

Singers and Play-ers will also be pre-

senting a short radio play, Sorry, Wrong Number, on Thurs-day, April 25 at 7 p.m. at the Summerland Arts Centre as part of Arts and Culture Week.

If dancing is more your thing why not join the Summerland Dance Club this Sat-urday, April 13 from 8 to 11 p.m. at the Summerland Legion while they enjoy live music by the band Destiny.

Next week fea-tures many activities as part of the fourth annual Earth Week including another Philosophers’ Cafe being held at Cen-tre Stage Theatre on April 17 at 7 p.m.

The Farmland For-ever panel discussion will focus on current policies on water and their impact on agri-culture to help chart the way forward from a local to global per-spective. An expert on international food concerns, Dr. Norman Looney will discuss

the global effects of water shortages and their impact on food security and the need for global solutions.

Look for posters around town or drop by the Arts Centre at 9533 Main St. to find out more about other Earth Week activities including the Imagin-ation Station, Street Festival and Recycled Material Design Competition and Fashion Show being held at the IOOF Hall on April 19.

Passports outline events for Arts and Culture Week

The Summerland Community Arts Council will mark B.C. Arts and Culture Week later this month with a number of spe-cial events and activ-ities.

B.C. Arts and Cul-ture Week is April 21 to 27. The theme this year is Celebrating the Arts in Learning and Life.

Starting off on Saturday April 20 with an Imagination Station for children of all ages to create with recycled “stuff,” the Arts Centre will be a hive of activ-ity, ranging from an outdoor raku firing

with Potters’ Guild to a radio play pre-sented by the Sum-merland Singers and Players to the pres-entation of the Arts Appreciation Award at the Friday evening gala.

The Summer-land Community Arts Council has put together a passport outlining art and cul-tural opportunities during the week. They can be picked up at the Arts Centre Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Visit a local art-ist’s studio, join the discussion at the Summerland Scribes

meeting, watch pot-ters at work, tour our town looking at the outdoor murals, sculpture and herit-age homes, visit the library and the museum. Come to the Art Centre and view the Postcard Challenge entries and vote for your favour-ite.

These and many more are listed in the passport and the public is encouraged to visit as many as they can during the week and then enter their passport into the draw for a basket of items created by our local artists.

(NC)—Sometimes the grass really is greener—and more manageable. According to Scott Ride from Husqvarna, the world’s largest producer of outdoor power products: “Lawn maintenance can be frustrating for homeowners, but it doesn’t have to be. Anyone can achieve a great looking, stress-free lawn with the right practices, tools and materials.”

These tips from the pros will set you up for nothing but success:

• Mow frequently with sharp blades. The key is frequent cutting, which forces the turf to grow thick and keep out weeds. Keep mower blades sharp so the grass isn’t battered and made susceptible to disease.

• Don’t go too short. Remember not to cut the grass too short. With a grass level of 5-9 cm you will have a � ne, sustainable lawn.

• Keep the mulch. Leave the clippings on your lawn. Not only do you eliminate the time to bag and dump the mulch, but the clippings fertilize the soil and lawn.

• Avoid watering at night. Be sure to let the grass dry out before the dew falls, since extended moisture invites disease. The best time to water is pre-dawn or early morning.

• Grow thick grass. Get rid of any weeds as early as possible. The best defense against pests, weeds and diseases is to grow thick, vigorous turf.

A pair of murals in the Summerland Health Centre are intended to help calm patients, especial-ly children, as they await treatment.

The murals, com-pleted last week by Penticton artist Larry Hunter, depict a jun-gle scene.

“I imagined myself being six years old, just having had my tonsils out and lying

in bed,” Hunter said. “What would I want to look at?”

The answer to that question came in the form of the jungle scene, with inquisi-tive monkeys and h a p p y birds and animals.

H e said the m u r a l s w e r e intended to pro-vide a p l e a s a n t atmosphere to the room.

“It’s a good theme with lots of activities and animals.”

Marina Calangis-Jones, the patient care coordinator at the centre, said the murals are important since the centre per-forms day surgeries on many children.

“It’s all about a positive experience and reducing anxiety for our patients,” she said.

The mural project cost around $5,000

with the money com-ing from the Astral Media Have a Heart Radiothon, which raises funds for the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation.

Money had been left over from the equipment purchases and was used for the painting.

Hunter has paint-ed numerous other murals in Summer-land. Some of these include the art on the wall of the fruit pack-ing house on Jubilee Road East, the inter-ior wall at the Sum-merland Aquatic Centre, the wall of St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, the exterior of the IOOF Hall and more.

“I imagined myself being six years old, just having had my tonsils out and lying in bed. What would I want to look at?”

Municipality receives climate fundingby John Arendt

Summerland has received more than $26,000 in provincial funding through the Climate Action Rev-enue Incentive Pro-gram.

The grant of $26,121 is part of a total of $83,527 given to local governments in the area.

The Climate

Action Revenue Incentive Program is a conditional grant program which pro-vides funds to gov-ernments which have signed the Climate Action Charter.

P a r t i c i p a t i n g communities must also report publicly on their progress towards meeting cli-mate action goals.

Since 2008, the

province has pro-vided $19 million through the program. At present, 95 per cent of B.C. commun-ities have signed the charter.

“The Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program provides a strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said Bill Barisoff, MLA for the Penticton riding.

“I applaud the par-ticipating commun-ities and their clear efforts.”

Julie McGuire, Summerland’s cli-mate action coordin-ator, said the money will go to climate action initiatives in the community.

The funding is based on the amount of fuel used by a municipality.

S u m m e r l a n d ’ s funding was lower than Penticton’s amount of $41,001 but higher than the $6480 given to Peachland or the $9,925 given to the Regional District of Okanagan Similka-meen.

McGuire said Summerland’s fuel consumption is high because the commun-

ity has a significant network of roads.

Initiatives in the municipality’s recent climate action budget include fuel-efficient heater upgrades at the fire hall and at munici-pal hall and a new heat pump at the Aquatic Centre.

Community pro-jects include the tran-sit service, electric

vehicle charging sta-tions and a municipal tree program.

In addition, the budget includes a call for proposals from the community for pilot projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

A total of $7,500 will be available for groups to submit pro-posals to the Climate Action Committee.

Community organ-izations in Sum-merland received funding through the province’s Commun-ity Gaming Grants initiative.

The money, which totalled $193,400, was distributed last week to 15 organizations in the area, including five from Summer-land.

The Summerland Asset Development Initiative received the largest amount, at $45,000.

The Summerland Youth Centre Associ-ation received $8,000 while the Kiwanis Club of Summerland received $8,000. The Scouts Canada First Summerland Group received $4,500 and the Air Cadet League of Canada, Squadron 902, was given $1,800.

The other grant recipients in the area included the Peach-land Lions Club, the Auxiliary to the Penticton Regional Hospital Society, the South Okanagan Similkameen Chapter of the Multiple Scler-osis Society, the Kin-ette Club of Penticton, the South Okanagan Women in Need Soci-ety, the Societe De La Petite Enfance De L’Ecole Entre Lacs, the Rotary Club of Penticton-Okanagan, the Penticton Recov-ery Resource Society and the Scouts Can-ada 10th Penticton Group.

In the 2011-2012 fiscal year, the prov-ince distributed $135 million in gaming grants to more than 5,300 community groups.

Electrical utility remains under municipal control

While FortisBC recently complet-ed the purchase of Kelowna’s electric utility assets, Sum-merland will con-tinue to operate its own electrical depart-ment.

The purchase of Kelowna’s electrical utility assets was completed on March 29, following a pub-lic approval process by the B.C. Utilities Commission and the City of Kelowna.

For the past dec-ade, Fortis has oper-

ated and maintained electrical utility assets in Kelowna.

In Summerland, the municipality han-dles the distribution of electricity, which is purchased from For-tisBC.

Mayor Janice Per-rino said there are no plans to transfer the electrical service to Fortis.

She added that a good offer would be required before Summerland would even consider such a change.

Clothing designed to combine function, style

by Carla McLeod

Two young emer-ging fashion design-ers who hail from Summerland will be showcasing pieces from their graduation

collections. They are graduat-

ing from Kwantlen Polytechnic Univer-sity’s Bachelor of Applied Design in Fashion and Technol-ogy.

Amanda Hooper combined her skills with her passion for the outdoors and created her first col-

lection especially for women who ride ATVs or dirt bikes.

Hooper identified a need for functional apparel with more feminine styling.

Inspired by her adventurous outdoor background she cre-ated the brand Terra, which incorporates her passions of screen

printing, functional clothing, style and outdoors.

“Every garment has been designed with function in mind,” describes Hooper.

Victoria Jago’s col-lection is for the styl-ish curious woman, navigating the world on her bicycle.

As an avid cyclist herself, Jago under-stands the complica-tions around incor-porating bicycle com-muting into everyday lifestyle.

“Women shouldn’t have to sacrifice fash-ion for the function required for rid-ing bike,” Jago says of her line, Henke,

which offers women a stylish alternative to athletic cycling wear.

“Biking is a way of life, and by pro-viding more fash-ionable options for women to wear while riding, I hope to encourage more women to adopt the bike as a means of

commuting,” says Jago.

Designs from these talented young women can be viewed on their websites, victoriajago.com and amandahooperfash-ion.com.

The show will be held on April 17 at the River Rock Casino in Richmond.

Fashion designers to show creations

Friends and family will be joining three cancer survivors in their quest to raise funds for cancer research.

The team is named Jodi’s Jets, after hock-ey mom Jodi Breit-kruz, who is current-ly facing treatment for breast cancer.

Two other cancer survivors, Carson Hoey and Melanie Walker, will also be joining the other 16 team members as they try to raise awareness and funds for cancer research.

Lead organizer Rachel Hoey, says the team members are excited about three planned fund rais-ers. On April 13 and May 18, the team will be hosting a barbe-cue event between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. in front of Nesters in Summerland.

On June 1, a car wash will be held between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. at Giant’s Head Automotive Services on Main Street.

All proceeds will be going to the Can-

adian Cancer Soci-ety’s relay for life fundraiser.

Hoey understands well the sacrifice and change that a cancer diagnosis can bring. Her son, Carson, was diagnosed at two years of age with neuroblastoma in his right chest.

He made a com-plete recovery and is back enjoying life as any child should.

She said it was dif-ficult to watch her son go through the three months of treat-ment at Children’s Hospital in Vancou-ver.

Now she devotes her time and effort into cancer research fundraising.

Hoey says that this past winter, the hockey community rallied around both Breitkruz and Walker,

as both hockey moms were diagnosed and faced breast cancer treatment in Kelow-na.

Walker’s treatment has recently been completed while Breitkruz is partially through hers.

Donations will be collected at the barbe-cues and car wash, at Hair it is Hair Salon and Giant’s Head Automotive in Sum-merland or at con-vio.cancer.ca/site/PageServer?pagename =RFL_CAN_NATL_h o m e p a g e & s _locale=en_CA by selecting Make A Donation and then searching for Jodi’s Jets team.

The Relay for Life will be held at the Penticton Secondary School track June 15 and 16 from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Tours, festival show environmental impactWhat do walking

tours and the Friday Night Street Festival have in common?

They both aim to educate us about

the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions for the sustainability of our community while having a lot of fun

doing it.According to Julie

McGuire, municipal representative of the Summerland Climate Action Committee,

“one of our biggest challenges in Sum-merland is reducing our carbon footprint for fuel consumption as so many people

commute to work.” Come out to the

Earth Week Street Festival on Friday, April 19 from 3 to 6 p.m. on your bikes, trikes, skateboards and scooters.

For the kids there is a bike decorating event and parade, a scavenger hunt, face painting, games and wooden toy making.

For the teens, there is live music, and a recyclable material Trashion! Competi-tion and Show.

Adults can learn about which vehi-cles can save you money on gas and make Summerland’s energy consumption more sustainable.

See electric cars, smart cars, scoot-ers, skateboards and bikes.

B.C. Transit will be

there to show options for Summerland’s proposed bus transit.

Fortis B.C. will also be on hand handing out freebies and talk-ing about reducing home energy con-sumption.

There will be a recycle bin to drop off old electronics and a Cardboard City event so that you can build a new vision of Sum-merland.

Your feet are the best way to reduce your carbon foot-print, so join David Gregory, historian and Lisa Scott, biolo-gist in a History, Geology, Wildflowers and Wildlife of Prai-rie Valley walking tour on Thursday, April 18 from 1 to 4 p.m. leaving from the Summerland Rodeo Grounds.

On this seven-kilo-metre walking tour, you will explore the history of early Sum-merland and its nat-ural beauty.

Or you can take a tour of Summerland Ornamental Gardens drought resistant trees and learn how to build a mason bee nest. Mason bees can aid in the pollination of your garden. This is being held Thursday April 18 from 1 to 4 p.m.

Another way to use your feet is at the Geocaching Earth Day Challenge. Solve the mystery puzzle cache to get the GPS coordinates, find the cache and you might win a prize.

The Fall Fair is a go for another year and is scheduled for Sept. 14 and 15, but conveners are still needed.

Cindy Nelson, president of the fair, said conven-ers responsible for organizing and set-ting up display areas for the follow-ing categories are still needed; Junior Handicrafts, Junior Writing, Fruit and Recycling.

“We are greatly in need of conveners,” she said.

New to the fair this year will be magician Clinton W. Grey, as well as some new and exciting added children’s attractions including a climbing wall.

Returning from previous years will be the Pioneer Work-shop and the B.C. Chicken Association.

Nelson said that they are close to sign-ing an agreement with the Medieval Trading Post to return as well.

“We are always looking for more sponsorship” Nelson said. “Summerland has been wonderful in supporting the Fall Fair.”

Last year there was some question as to whether the fair would continue due to a shortage of board members.

A plea went out to the commun-ity and the success-ful outcome was that at least six new board members were found, making a total of 10.

Nelson, the fair’s new president, said past president Con-nie Davis has helped her in her new role.

“Connie has been invaluable. I couldn’t imagine running the fair without her. She

knows the direction of the fair and how it is run. She keeps us

all in line.”Anyone interested

in becoming involved

with the fair can contact the Fall Fair Office at 250-483-9178

or by dropping in at the office on Wed-nesday from 1 to 4

p.m. or by email at [email protected].

Ringette The Westside Ringette Tween “B” U14 Heat won the B.C. Ringette Provincial Tournament over Spring Break going undefeated in the tournament to win the gold medal.

In front from left are Alicia Sieben, Sarah Grods, Jacey Carter, Shanay Levy, Madi Klumpner, Coral Westrop, Destiny MccAllum and Dakota Roy. In front is Caleb Fransen.

It’s funny the things that are trigger points to a changing of the seasons. It used to be the change to daylight savings time but with the time change now in early March too much snow is still on the ground at that time.

If you use weather patterns you would always be confused. It is still nice to see some colour from the early flowers and of course the greening of the grass.

For me there are a number of changes that really cement that spring is here.

The first is the big Reds Hockey Tour-nament that has been held on Easter weekend for as long as I can remember. With 20 men’s and women’s teams this tournament brings in players from all over the province and an amazing job is done by Colin Biagioni and all the others that make this tourna-ment happen.

The second trig-

ger is the pressure to put up the tennis nets on the tennis courts and to open the gates to Giants Head Park and Powell Beach Park.

Finally, it is all the regulars from all the spring sports check-ing on their field requirements. Wheth-er it is new volunteers such as Rae-Anne Longbotham from Slo-Pitch and Reid Jenkins from soc-cer or my long-time friend, Carol Van Balkom from girl’s softball who volun-teer so much of their

time. The bottom line being it is amazing how quickly you go from one season to another.

In the arena the ice is out and it is a busy place with lacrosse, ball hockey and even roller derby. The campground has some new levelled sites and will be ready for opening in early May.

Before I sign off another spring trad-ition is Summer-land’s Earth Day which has turned into earth week with so many activities. Start-ing Sunday, April 14 there are special events almost every day from films in Centre Stage The-atre, different work-shops, a Friday street festival, a variety of Saturday events and concluding on Sun-day, April 2 with the seventh annual Earth Day Celebration at Dale Meadows Park spearheaded by Lisa Scott and Lois Dick-inson.

So let’s get outside,

there’s lots to do and unbelievably it is only seven weeks to Action Festival and the Giants Head Run and Man of Steel Tri-athlon.

Dale MacDonald has been Summer-land’s Director of Parks and Recreation for the last 22 years and in his sporting past has won provin-cial championships in four different sports.

Research scientist honouredDr. Tom Low-

ery was recently awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Dia-mond Jubilee Medal in recognition of his leadership in inte-grated and sustain-able pest manage-ment for grapes and his contributions to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s National Plum Pox Virus Program.

Lowery is an ento-mologist at the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre in Summer-land. He specializes in integrated pest management and the study of insect-borne plant diseases.

Since 2001, he has supervised research at both PARC-Sum-merland and at the Southern Crop Pro-tection and Food Research Centre in Vineland, Ont.

His research focus-ing on non-chemical methods to manage insect and mite pests of grapevines has sig-nificantly influenced cultivation practices and reduced the use of chemicals in Can-ada’s wine regions, notably the Okanag-an.

In collaboration with colleagues working in other areas of viticulture, and with support from local indus-try, he has played an important role in the establishment of a strong wine grape research program at the Summerland cen-tre.

“I am honoured to receive this award,” he said. “Although it is in my name, I accept it as repre-senting the efforts of many deserving AAFC researchers who work diligently to benefit the Can-adian public.”

Lowery’s areas of expertise involve using a variety of natural approaches

such as: developing non-chemical meth-ods, for example the use of ground cover vegetation to man-age grape pests and reduce the reliance on chemical sprays; developing strat-egies to preserve and enhance the activity of beneficial insects and the pos-sible use of natur-ally occurring insect diseases to control grape pests; evaluat-

ing new reduced-risk insecticides that are less toxic and more selective in action; and studying the epi-demiology of insect-borne plant patho-gens and developing methods for their control.

The commemora-tive medal was cre-ated to mark the 2012 celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the

Throne.The Queen Eliza-

beth II Diamond Jubilee Medal is a tangible way for Canada to honour Her Majesty for her service to this coun-try.

At the same time, it serves to honour sig-nificant contributions and achievements by Canadians.

A total of 60,000 Canadians will be recognized.

Recognizing researchDr. Kenna MacKenzie, director of operations at the Summerland Research Centre, presented Tom Lowery with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal. A total of 60,000 medals are being presented to Canadians.

(NC)—When it comes to controlling the costs associated with driving your vehicle, did you know that when in use, air conditioning systems consume signifi cant amounts of fuel? It’s a fact to keep in mind as the warmer seasons approach.When the air conditioning is on, fuel consumption can actually increase by up to 20 per cent, according to Natural Resources Canada.While consumption depends on the vehicle’s interior size, outdoor temperature, and other operating conditions, if you drive a fuel-effi cient automobile, the impact of air conditioning use is usually quite noticeable.A few simple conservation measures can help drivers reduce fuel use:

• Turn off the air conditioning once the vehicle is cool.

• Use the re-circulation button. This requires less energy since the air conditioning system isn’t cooling the warm air from outside.

• Let the air fl ow. Use ventilation on the highway; open your windows and sunroof while driving in the city.

• Adjust the thermostat settings to be comfortable, not cold.

• Park out of direct sunlight.• When returning to a hot car, open the

windows for a few minutes before turning on the air conditioning.

• Be a smart buyer. Look for an air conditioning system with an “econo” mode or smart controls.

More fuel consumption tips are available online at www.vehicles.gc.ca
